Going out and finding shit to do by yourself would be no problem I'm sure, but having that home base of familiar faces is very important, especially in mentally challenging moments of the experience. People who remember your face, your name, and have possibly been eagerly awaiting your arrival back to camp 
I would need a camp to fully enjoy myself out there, and if I didn't think I'd not fully enjoy myself out there, I wouldn't invest the $1,000+ of going.

Definitely. Having some familiar faces in this kind of environment would be nice.
But then again, you will meet new people and that could be the perfect thing.
I plan on knowing as many people going as possible though, before-hand.

I agree. but you don't need a village or a theme camp or anything. a few like minded individuals can get everything they need together.
tight knit is better!

I will be going with noone I know, and will be making the 1800 mile trek completely by myself. My only close friends I will have there is the ones I shake hands with while setting up my tent in the First Timers theme camp. Its going to be a WHOLE NEW EXPERIENCE!

Yeah, I've come to that realization. I first bought the ticket thinking I'll make it if I can, now I'm planning on how I can make funner. Planning on constructing the structure here as big as I can stow away in my car around my tent: http://www.chromatest.net/Lovemonkey/
The Monkey Hut! As soon as the snow melts, gonna set my tent up out in the backyard of the folks house, and blow the dust off all my dads saws and construct a fucking rocking structure to allow some chill space out in front of my pad 
You lot need to get in the official thread in the gathering forum / in my sig so we can all coordinate 
Its no longer if I can get there, but how 'all out' I feel like going my first year - I will hitch hike to the god damn playa if I have to

dude i would fucking love too. like seriously i would love nothing more, but i only took2 classes first semester so im already not guna graduate in two years and i cant get furthur behind.
EVERYONE who i know who's been to burning man says if your guna go , go to this one. its only guna get bigger and bigger, they predict alot more of a sell out next year.

I've kicked around the idea, but haven't given it much more than a passing thought so far. My main concern right now is estimating out the prices things 'should' cost, and creating a Burning Man budget. I was planning on moving down to AZ sometime over the Spring/Summer, and this is definitely going to put a dent in that budget.
So right now I'm more looking at the logistics of how I want those two major events of 2011 to play out, and getting Burning Man money set aside ASAP, because I will be god damned if I'm not going to be making a Monkey Hut to bring out there with me
