Your new home!
It is like no other place on earth! It can be enlightening, terrifying, inspiring, or just a big party, depending on how you approach it. The only advice I can give you is the following: have no expectations (take it as it comes and for what it is), open yourself to the possibilities and the people around you, be respectful at all times (you don't want to impact someone else's experience negatively), ask permission for things you aren't SURE of, help others if they are in need (the BEST connections come from this), and take care of yourself (be responsible, be safe, provide for yourself). Build something. Give, and receive. Embark on a quest. Challenge yourself. Above all, enjoy yourself, the art and your fellow burners.
(I received this my virgin year. Time to pass it on. Safe travels out there everyone- remember there's no rush- the party starts when you get there :) See you in the dust...)

It began when I decided to go for the first time this year. Then came purchasing of the ticket. Then the gathering process of everything I need to enjoyably survive in the desert for over a week. Next is when I pull out of my driveway tomorrow morning. Then..........
