Yay! Minnesota in the Dizzy represent!

(Shrug)...We'll be happy with whatever...We're going to start looking at C and work our way up the alphabet til we find something...that's all...two years ago we were at 7:15 and Fate...and we found that spot on Sunday afternoon...we loved it there.

Well, if you look at the map that was posted down-thread ( www.burningman.com/media/do...8_map.pdf ), the theme camp placement looks to be in the blue-shaded areas -- I think. Much of 8:30 is white, so considered "clear". We may have to wait until a more detailed map is released or created to be sure, but if we manage to get in and on our desired space before anyone else, we may stand a decent chance at getting our desired spot. The theme camps used to be a lot more crowded along the Esplanade-D streets, but starting last year they made a huge effort to spread them out along the radials so that there would be more interaction with the city.

In any case, I think that meeting up in Fernley on mid-afternoon Sunday and driving out together so that we more-or-less stay together sounds like an awesome plan to me!

Paul and Kitty: Good luck with flying out! Whyrd and I did it for our first 5 years of going home to BRC, and it was a lot of fun. Reno is a tiny city, but it has a lot of awesome stuff folded in their streets.
