So much to do

Sunny J & "The Fire of Fires" Temple,
Burning Man 2009

I'm going to Burning Man 2012, but very little is ready. It's 39 days away and I haven't even done anything with this blog. My recent trip to England was expensive, and I will have to make it to Black Rock City with limited funds. 


My plan is to fly to San Francisco the week before the Burn. This way I can help my camp Shadyvil load up the gear (some go out to the Playa early to set up). I love Shadyvil, they are from San Francisco and New York and all over. 


I'm not so much blogging as I am thinking out loud. 


OUTSTANDING ITEMS 


-Flight to San Francisco (around $800)
Very essential. San Francisco is my base of operations. This is going on my VISA card.


-Ride to the Playa (about $100)
Since every hipster in the Bay area is headed to Nevada the last week of August, it shouldn't be too difficult to find a ride either from a fellow Shady or an aforementioned hipster. My last time out I scored a ride via Craigslist and made a great friend, Frank (He's going again this year, but leaving from Seattle). 


-Camp Fee ($200)
I don't have this money, and it has to be paid, like, now. 


-Keg ($80)
Shadyvil is one of the few camps with a respectable bar, which includes cold draft beer. The bar is tended by my good friend Bill W. The beer is only stocked through generous contributions of monies. I plan on contributing some cash, then generously consuming some beer.

These next things are from a list I made at the end of my last time at Burning Man of things to improve:


ITEMS FOR A BETTER BURN
-Be more fit (Go to the gym!!!)
-Sunglasses (no more cheap dollar store shades, it's too bright, get prescription shades).
-El Wire (Brighten up your world, and your bike)
-Bed roll (comfort issue, Playa surface is to hard)
