Burning Man 2023! Planning thread...

[BamCamper]

Hello Burners and potential Burners!

Hope your 2023 is shaping up just the way you want it.
It is once again time to start planning to celebrate Community and Creativity at Burning Man 2023.

This year's dates: Sunday August 27th - Monday September 4th.
2023 theme: Animalia!

We are a loosely organized group of mostly Airstreamers who have been gathering at Burning Man since 2007. Different faces come and go and then come back again. Everyone is welcome and we love to have new people join us.

Our Airstreameri Camp offers lots of things to the community at large including our famous Postcard Creation Station where we collect the cards and mail them all over the world. We also have really fun games, an amazing bar, potluck(s) and interesting talks, a mutant Volcano Art Car, and a variety of other things. Anyone is welcome to offer up whatever they would like and new ideas are always encouraged. Participation is a must.

There are no fees or annoying paperwork to do to join us. Just let us know what you are camping in so we can be sure to make room. You are required to get your own ticket and vehicle pass to the event. Tickets are not yet on sale but will be soon. Be sure to visit the Burning Man site and sign up for the JRS (Jack Rabbit Speaks) Newsletter to get all the dates and updates. If you have not been before, read all the prep info and The Survival Guide. Conditions can be harsh and last year was particularly hot and windy.

Can't wait to see you all and what this year's theme inspires!
Jump on this thread and let the planning begin.
Rumor has it this will be the best year ever!

Cheers,
Bam (Laurel)

I have just sent out 82 postcards to the USA. Canada, UK. Brazil, Germany, France and Japan...Postcards designed and written 5 years ago in 2017.

Maybe some of them will be back at our post office this year!

Awesome Epi! Thanks for providing more playa magic! Camp got a lovely comment on the 5 yr card in our post playa feedback...

Just got our Stewards sale tickets!

After last years heat and dust along with the ever increasing ticket price, there was a bit of hesitation, but time seems to fade the bad memories.

We'll be with our usual group near 3:15 & J, assuming that doesn't become part of placement. Look forward to seeing y'all on the Playa.

We're usually somewhere around 2:45 and 3:15 and WTF out there. I suspect because we are a low people density, low noise originating bunch.

Yeah, we checked it out last year. I asked around for you, but every time you happened to not be around it seemed. Ah well.

I will say, in our 9 official years, and 2 long weekends in the off years, that was the roughest overall so far. I'll take heat over dust, like '17, but last year was both. A lot of both. Combined with a 7 1/2 hour exodus before the 5 hour drive home, and that was the first year we got home and felt we had NO desire to go back for quite a while.

But then, during the winter I made a video for our camp, and we had a decompression party and now the Bmorg has my money once again.

When it comes to tickets it's Feast or famine it seems. Last year I was lucky to get one, this year I have 4 probably available to past camp members in need. Please post me!

Cheers

Burning Man has been on my bucket list for years along with spending time in the Lake Tahoe area before and after the event. If anyone has videos or pictures of their Airstreams at BM, I would love to see them.

Hey RMB/Epi,

Kenny aka Gadget needs 2-3 tickets plus a vehicle pass. Let me know if you can help him asap! He wants to bring back the photo booth with upgrades...
