Don't let life pass you by...go if you can...I did..and I have no regrets. It was at a time when I really could not go either....but I just did.

Cool...I promise you ...you will have a good time at their camp..great people..with like minds

You will not have a hard time finding their camp..it is usually a couple of stories high, and can be seen quite well. Well lit as well..my son is a lighting expert in the movie industry...and has his own company.

BROOK · 08-22-2009, 05:53 PM

I will mention that it can be quite overwhelming when you get there..and if you intend on participation in the fire circle with the other performers..you will want to contact them ahead..when you first get there...It's not something you want to wait at the last minute for....if you do get hold of John..he will explain how to go about it.

They are on the road right now..and I just contacted them..so they will be looking for you

There should be information in the program when you get there as well

Have a GREAT BURN

BROOK · 08-22-2009, 06:17 PM

John just called me back and said his address there is 4:30 and Biology...it will be a very tall camp..can't miss it

Said you are very welcome there..and looks foreward to meeting you...there are 80 people in their camp alone. And he said that the load they carry right now is huge for the set up..two huge stake bed trucks to carry the stuff

Machinamentum · 08-22-2009, 07:20 PM

Ya don't touch anything at the mischief camp. Oh there should be a great daytime bar there I believe it's call the alien xpat. I did get to go to the regional burn Apogaea http://xpatalien.com/

GregorArturo · 08-22-2009, 07:33 PM

Again, thanks Brook. I greatly appreciate it. My gf and I are first timers from Maine so I could see it being a little overwhelming but its sorta what we've been looking for haha. I've been taking caring of her for part of the summer as she had mono, so we're really looking to get back out into the real world, even though the past couple months we have experienced alot of unqiue and interesting experiences together.

BROOK · 08-22-2009, 08:13 PM

You and your gf will have a wonderful time...be assured of that
So set up your camp..and go exploring...you will be welcome where ever you go

Have a great time on the Playa ..enjoy the art...and commune with the artists...it a great time for all

And drink plenty of water..even when you are not thirsty...very important...or you will spend the day feeling sick. Make sure your gf drinks plenty too..especially after being ill.

Bring a lot of sunblock lotion, especially if you go "full monty". Your "never-tanned-areas" wouldn't like to be burned.

Thats for sure

Humble Janitor · 08-23-2009, 01:23 AM

I would love to go to Burning Man someday.

BROOK · 09-07-2009, 04:43 PM

Well...haven't heard a word from anybody there...however...on Saturday they burned the man

Then yesterday they burned the Temple of dreams...that is a very moving one...as everyone there puts a memorial or a dream on a piece of wood..an then they have a burning ceremony

Here is a beautiful picture of the Temple of Dreams when I was there

The kids should be back by Wednesday with pictures and I will share...and I'll see if Grigorarturo made it to their camp

BROOK · 09-07-2009, 04:51 PM
