Burning Man 2005

ooohhh.... go mo-seph!!

i won't be booking my flight until mid july, won't have the cash until then. but as soon as i do i'll be in touch with some of you san fran people to arrange a time/place to meet up.

really looking forward to this

i am tryin to go but its very doubtful but i will try i did go to flipside this yr and spun with circle of fire

Sweet, I'm 90% sure I'll be out there this year, just need to get the plane tickets and find a fun theme camp.

Have we made any headway on organizing the HoP gathering out there? I want to meet all the HoPers I missed last year.

I'm going to be at burning man.

last year, I spent a ton of time spinning in center camp. this year, I'll spend a bunch, but probably not as much. I mean, the bagpipe player taking requests only knew sweet child o mine, not welcome to the jungle.

I'll post the whereabouts of my camp, prometheatrics, is as soon as I know it... last year, we had a smallish fire show / open spin at first star every night. we also had a mirror stage. we also had a large viewing screen made of rainbow glasses material.

I expect we'll have all these things again.

I intend to be at the phoenix project thursday and I'm not sure what else.

Im going this year for the first time. I really have no idea what Im doing or where Im camping but I do know that I want to meet all the spinners I havent met yet and I probably wont be doing much else. If you see a really skinny guy spinning some sweet poi moves, come talk to me

You might want to specify which skinny guy, there is lots of us on the playa.

Ill probably be wearing my avatar
<~~
In some form...

right, flights booked! i leave ireland on august 24th for san fransisco, staying with my brother for a bit, and then heading out to black rock desert

i'm soooo excited

Just got my plane ticket but I'm still looking for a camp.

Seriously, lets set up the HoP gathering now, time is almost up. Thursday night at Freedom Camp for the Phoenix Project should draw the most fire spinners and may be our best chance. I know blueboy is planning a mask procession then but it can't be a complete overlap.

Ah i'm still unsure if i'll be able to make it, my flight arrives from melbourne in time, though i STILL don't have a ticket, so odds are looking slim. I do, however, live near sacramento, if anyone is around those parts to chill pre or post burning man (or it sounds like san fran might be the place

ill be there. just bought my ticket today. the HoP meet last year was a bit of a bust. only three or four showed. granted there could have been more but you couldnt see more than 8 ft. due to the dust storm that evening. im looking forward to some good spinning this year.

I soooooo wish I was going. I went in 2003 and 2004 but have to miss it this year as I spent all my money travelling and can't get there. I'd love to meet all of you but sadly will have to wait until 2006.

Those of you not sure if you wanna go or can make it......GO! You won't regret it.

Remember to think of those of us that are there in spirit but can't make it in body when you're having the time of your lives on the playa.

Huge hugs till 2006

What about the possibility of having a gathering during the day? Maybe meeting up in Center Camp or out by the temple and getting our spin on? Just throwing the suggestion out there...

Ok, let's try that then. How about:

HoP Meet & Greet
Thursday around noonish directly in front of center camp

(the side facing the man). Center camp has a large shade structure we might be able to spin under.

If you know your camp, chime in and give us your locations. I'll probably be with Big Puffy Yellow at 4:30 and Ego.

Here is the city map: http://www.burningman.com/preparation/maps/05_maps/05_map.pdf

I'll be with the contact improvisation camp, but I don't know where that is yet...

I'll try to wander along on thursday!

i have no idea what i'm doing other than that i arrive in frisco on august 24th.


yayyyy!!! i've been waiting for this for years!!! sooooo excited. busy making costumes and other nonsense at the moment

can't wait to meet you all

ill be with mystical mysfits. it seems thursday is the busy busy day. ive got a friend doing a performance that day that i am gonna go and watch, but whatever spin it doesnt clash with ill try to make it to.

Heh, Thursday was picked because Friday, Saturday and Sunday are usually the busy busy days. I guess everyone was thinking the same thing.

I like the idea of a daytime meet up anyway. You get to actually see what people are doing and I can bring all my goofy beanie baby practice poi.

If you have LEDs or bright flags, another fun place to meet up are the big trance camps on the edge of the city at esplanade & 2 or 10 o'clock. They usually get cranking after midnight. I know I'll be spending a lot of time there.

EJC looks sweet too, hope to see you next year ma'tina.
