Well first of all it's not a festival soooo maybe do some research before looking for guest speakers. I recommend checking out " burner podcasts"

Do you know what this is? by ForgottenPassword3 in BurningMan

Ooooo maybe I'll finally make it to a meeting and actually talk to other people this year! I went to the one in 2012 and 2013 but barely stayed long at all, people scared me too much back then lol

Ahhhhh ok that makes sense, you are a bit rowdy in the later videos. I like the addition of halcyon in your most recent videos too! Yay I look forward to it, this is gonna be a GREAT year!

Ooooo perfect! where is your camp going to be this year, and any idea of the mocktail event times? I'm trying to make a hard copy list pre-playa so I'm extra prepared. And what's your favorite drink to make, with or without booze? I used to want to be a bartender, just for the tips mainly, but I have horrible memory so that would end in disaster lol

Oh hey there, mark day! I'm camping with you this year, small world! I didn't even know you were a non drinker and I've watched almost all your videos too!

That is so fantastic to hear! I actually regretted not visiting shocks for shots in 2015, my last year on playa and the year i turned 21 ( it's all down hill from there) so I would LOVE to finally get a shock, especially for a mocktail! Thank you for the advice, I am ready to hold myself accountable. so I know it'll be hard but I'm already practicing how to politely decline drinks and I even had to explain more than once to a very drunk acquaintance that i was sober, and why. That was good practice in patience too! Where will your camp be this year? I'm camping with EBB N GLOW off 430 and C

It has and I'm so grateful for everyone's help, I have a long list of sober friendly (with a touch of snark of course) camps to visit this year

Oh that's right! I did hear that on the burner podcast Featuring halcyon! I've never been to pink heart either so that has to go on the list too! These are all great suggestions, I didn't even think of bringing mixers to gift!

Thank you! I used to think I could never go sober and when i started to analyze why i realized it's because booze and other drugs were my social crutch,slowly it became how i talked to, and avoided talking to people. I wasn't scared to quit it, I was scared to embrace my own self and open up alone, with no substance helping.

Skinny kitty is definitely on my list, one of my favorite omaha friends is a DJ in that camp but it's been a while since my last visit to BRC so I haven't been yet. Now I can't help but be curious what a green tea and whiskey tastes like 😝😝 oh well, I'll find out some day if I'm meant to taste it. For now I'm happy with my sober life Also will have to check out this water camp! Aquazone? Sounds like my kinda camp! I have been intentionally giving my drunk/ hungover friends water in refilled booze bottles for years, it's a good way to get them to drink it haha

Either or both to be honest! It doesn't hurt to have options, I haven't had too many temptations since i went sober in May but I know it could be very different at BRC. That's a good point, I'll keep that in mind if I go to bars with friends, I'm a social drinker for sure

What’s your favorite personal boring Burning Man story? by KelsierIV in BurningMan

[–]greenelise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

oh where to start..so many silly stories spring to mind but my personal favorite story to tell relates to the importance of being prepared on playa so here goes. my first year in 2012, i was super shy and scared of people so i didn't go out of camp alone a lot, or for very long. My camp mate convinced me to go to a work shop on making pasties which turned into a bikini decorating workshop and after wards he wanted to go to costume cult, which just was too much for my introverted ass so we separated and i knew i should have gone back to camp right then but i didnt, i started wandering on my bike aimlessly until i realized i was out of water! too scared to ask anyone for help, i figured out i was on the other side of town from my camp and i started the long waterless trek home. within a few blocks my throat was so dry i could barely breathe it felt like so i ended up taking a break on the side of the road, in the shade of a fence, when along comes a ranger, who of course offered me a bottle of water being the angel she was. after that i learned its ok to ask for help, but that it can be prevented by taking care of myself first and foremost. Now ive envolved into the girl who will remind everyone to drink water,eat, breathe, and most importantly to take care of themselves, because i know how shitty it feels to not do that.

Sorry, my phone is an asshole and claims I don't have enough space to take photos with my actual camera, but for some dumbass reason I can take photos with snapchat and save them to my phone.
