go to burning man

Even thought my boyfriend really wanted to go, I was unsure if this would be something for me, especially since it is pretty expensive. However, I found a friend who has been there the last 3 years and said it was a blast. I will probably go to Las Vegas around the same time, just to really make it a trip.

You get a gold star if you recognize where that caption is from.. (smile)

Seems ridiculous I didn’t go to Burning Man while I Lived in Nevada for so many years. Always thought I was pretty damn independent for my disability, but lately I’m seeing I let my eye condition hold me back from more than I realized, and I guess I’m just at the point of
Fuck it.. This is the path that calls to me, and if something goes horribly wrong it will have been better to have Lived than miss amazing experiences..

I discovered today that the college I’m considering’s fall semester doesn’t start until late September, meaning it be possible for me to WWOOF in Italy, go to Burning Man, and start school again. I have no excuses left.
This lil blind chick is CraigsListing it down to the Burn, hoping to find a camp before then. Other than that, I’m still figuring out the bare essentials since I won’t have a car or anything to store my stuff.

Having lived in Nevada (both las vegas and laughlin area) for about six years, I have a deep appreciation for the beauty and mystery of the desert. Burning man would be an amazing thing to witness, I am a photographer so not only would I be able to get some amazing pictures, I would also be able to display some form of art.

I’ve always wanted to do this, since I saw the Malcom in the Middle episode set there. I hope its as crazy as i’ve heard!

I’m planning this for 2010 :)

I feel a little daunted by this, because I feel like so much preparation goes into it, and I’m nervous about forgetting things, or not being prepared, or not having the perfect set-up. So I keep postponing it year after year. I really don’t have any useful skills :)

I found out about Burning Man my sophomore year in high school; it was featured on a PBS show called Egg the Art Show (best show ever). I’m a college senior now, it’s about time I go to the festival!! I will most definitely do this, its just a matter of when. I don’t know what’s best. Rent an RV? Rent a car n bring tents? We’ll see, but I’m psyched by the thought that I’ll be there one day!

I had never even considered the possibility of going to Burning Man until I got back in touch with an old friend who was really into it. He helped me a lot with arrangements, and I went there in 2007 and have a great time! I was worried that it might be to “freakish” for me, but that was absolutely not a problem! Now I hope to go back soon again… :)

Suggestions: Read the official FAQs and Survival Guide before you go. Prepare well; having experienced friends helps. A camp with good amenities (shower, electricity) and location makes things easier. Bring earplugs and a bike.

...eventually.

09 Burning Man here I come!
