now that i have my ticket, i will be taking this essential question much more seriously.
i do have a number of local affiliationswho are represented on the playa...
but many people i know have said that they will not be going this year.

I'm jealous. Well, I'm saving my pennies for Convergence this year, since it will be in New Orleans.

*grumbly* I am soooooo not a goth :)

Gothic people prance around in ugly Crow makeup and fishnets .Goths have become uber tards these days.
A pox on them, I say!

But I'll still go to Convergence because I'm a goober. And its a very good excuse to visit New Orleans.
Finally!

Real begniets, if they survive the trip back home.

the last time i went to new orleans was during mardi gras, and i spent a couple of months there.
i got a story about my streaking expedition (in the context of Voudou Loa & the Sumerian Underworld) published in an underground magazine called "For Crying Out Loud," in an issue about police brutality.
but i completely lost touch with the publisher... she just disappeared.
i know some people who attend anne rice's halloween party every year, but i'm sorta out of touch with them, too.

we are the post-apocalyptic techno-industrial-police force at burn events.
and when have you known me to be a hippie, anyway?
metal-head, or peace-punk, maybe...

Congradulations on getting part-way to accomplishing your boast. I'm still working on mine.

I will have to pass along the notes I took from experienced burners giving me advice on what to bring. And if you happen to hear about a $200 or less ticket lying around, would ya lemme know or send them my way? Well, I don't know that I can afford it even then, 'cause I'd still need to buy supplies and find a way out there and back, not to mention the weeks worth of pay I'd lose...

sigh...

if i didn't know better, i might think you were looking forward to kicking my ass, if i didn't get out to burningman this year?

if you don't go, maybe i could make it worth your while to take my shifts cooking at the coop while i'm gone?

no i wasn't. i'm actually pretty depressed about not being able to afford it. i haven't done shit with my summer because my car keeps breaking, i work for peanuts, and i don't cook enough.

i'd like to help you with your chores but at the moment it's like salt in the wound (not intentional, i know).

guh... i want to cry.

there is a part of burningman.com where people who got tickets but can't go sell them.

You can find people who bought early and at the lower rate that are selling only for what they paid.

not sure yet. I have wanted to go since ABC? did a story on Burning Man on prime time TV some years ago, it reminded me of the Starwood festival held in N.Y. And I don't live all that far from it.

I have been to the web site a few times, need to familiarize myself with it some more because I know this is no ordinary festival. I have a year to figure it out. Next year I plan on going to one or the other (Starwood or Burningman) or both

as starwood is starting today, i don't believe that i'll be able to make it this year, either...
i originally heard about starwood through x-day, but i believe that i would love any festival there!

congrads! I dont expect to be going myself. Last year I had made kind of a pact to go with someone but that didnt come to fruition. Also part of me really was fulfilled with flipside this year and then there is work which always picks up in the summer time. I am not sure if I will ever go but I am glad that some people I know are going.
