hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone else is planning on heading out to Nevada for Burning Man this summer? I know that Victor Dinaire is going... anybody else?

And if you're going ... how are you getting there? I'm going to be flying (I'd roadtrip, but up till the day before, I'm on vacation with my family). I'll be flying from Atlantic City, NJ to Reno, and then catching a ride the rest of the way with some friends. If anyone else is going to be flying from the same airport, lemme know and maybe we can book the same flight.

heehee, i'm so excited. this will be the culmination of my summer.

i want to go, but i've run out of vacation for the year. on the other hand, i am going ot new zealand for 10 days that week so i cant really complain.

Small problem for you guys!
The annual Burning Man festival is in Danger of being shut down this year. well screw the circumstance(read the quote if you care to) most of us dont understand it. BUT SIGN THE PETITION! It may not seem like alot, it may not do anything. But at least we can try.

http://www.petitiononline.com/burn42/petition.html

quote:

Subject: |\|/| Hi friends, Burningman is in a bad spot, please help with this petition.> Burning Man needs a bit of help, and it needs it fast, so please read on. As you may or may not have heard, the Washoe County Board of Commissioners have refused Burning Man a permit to use property they own near Gerlach, from which the event is staged. This staging area is the ranch from which all operations are run, and where all the gear is stored. Apparently, if they can't use this land, it will make it nearly impossible to organize the event. BM has requested that as many people as possible show up at the county meeting on June 10th in Reno to voice their opinions, and that those who can't make it write letters to the Reno Gazette voicing their displeasure. I figure that a petition wouldn't hurt either, so here's the plan: We need to get at least 5000 signatures in the next 4 days, so we really need to move on this. Please go to the petition site at the link below immediately, sign it, and forward this email to as many sympathetic people as possible. It would probably work best to simply copy and paste this msg into a new email rather then forward so as to avoid getting the text all screwed up, as often happens in forwards. I'll be informing the BM organizers of the petition in hope that they also spread the word, and so that they can bring a printout to the meeting. Again... sorry for the spam, but I figured that this is worth it. The petition is can be signed here: http://www.petitiononline.com/burn42/petition.html

ps ian, pardon my spam, its important
