Went to my 1st Burner event this past weekend and now I'm even more determined to make it to Burning man next year :) I had a good time. Still processing my arrival back from the 10 days in the promised land. In the process of renovating an apartment for airBNBing ASAP to have it ready for an upcoming festival. Can't wait for stuff to settle down a bit. I feel like I have not seen my friends, cleaned the apartment completely or gotten my shit together since I've been back from Asia. Is adult life always this hectic?
It's been something that I've been wanting to do for the past 2 years but after going to this regional (which was basically "fun camping" but I got a better feel for the people and they're awesome) I'm gonna make it a real priority for next year. Kinda changed the dial to "I'd like to go" to "I have to take steps to make it happen" :) I'll definitely PM you once plans to go are more concrete but I'd love to hear your Opinions anytime. Honestly, I think many people here would be interested. It should be it's own post whenever you have time man!
Too bad you are in Montreal... I have a really excellent Burner friend in Toronto that would be a great resource for you. I think you guys would hit it off. Burning Man is just ... so much of everything ... I'm not sure a single post would be very useful. I did write a bit of an expository piece on how I got involved with Burning Man, and my experiences there. Check it out if you want some history.
