Plans for Next Year's Burning Man: My brain started working right away and planning for next year.
This year I was merely a spectator, getting a feel for what it was all about. Here are my plans for next year.
- Rent an RV
- Create a shaded structure off the RV
- Create a front yard with something for people to play with
- Offer a gift like a cookie, if they perform a trick for you
- Have a mailbox so neighbors can leave you messages
- Make the camp easy to find at night by having a large flashing pole or something else visible from the distance
- Bring a kite
- Bring a megaphone to make your self heard
- Bike - have a bright light on the front to see where you're going at night
- Bike - put glow on the bike so people can see you
- Wear glow
- Wear a costume. Maybe a white or orange jump suit
- Create some art vehicle to drive around on the playa
