Toronto Newbie Burner Picnic eats chocolate covered bacon

Toronto Newbie Burner Picnic

Last night was the Toronto Newbie Burner Picnic. The event is held by the Regional BMO to connect newbie or "virgin" Burners with local seasoned Burners to share advice and experiences so they can be better prepared for life on the Playa.

I went to see if anyone I knew was going and to offer any help to noobs I might meet.

There were at least 50 people that met in Trinity Bellwoods Park, and the mix seemed to be more veterans than noobs.

A lot of great information was shared, from entry to exodus.
They talked about the two Canadian art projects headed to the Playa, the Toronto C.O.R.E. project, and Super Street Fire from the people that brought us the Heart Machine.
I'm going to get involved with the Super Street Fire project in some capacity.

Being a picnic, there were potluck snacks. I made some Chocolate Covered Bacon to share. It went over well, as burners love bacon.
