Hello all!

I just signed up on Tribe to connect with all of my local fellow burners. I'm a long timer, starting in the early 90's. I stopped going for a few years. Don't ask what I was thinking!!! I still haven't figured that out either!! However, I returned the last two years with friends and it felt like a home I had missed. I'm planning on going again this year. Every time I've gone, which is about 10 times now, it's been with a group of close friends and I've never done the theme camp experience. No, I'm not a grandpa, I'm only 36. I had some friends join up with Lamplighters the last couple of years, but they've become so massive, structures, and are right in the middle of center camp which is like camping near a bicycle freeway. Besides, they're mostly in SF but spread out quite a bit, so you'd get to know very few people in the theme camp before getting out on the playa.

I've always wanted to help work on a project, but most of my friends either end up short on time, short on money, or both, so the ideas and plans seem to fizzle out. I'd like to hook up with an established theme camp this year. Hopefully, some local burners near Sac who can meet up, hang out, work on a project, party, and get to know each other.

Please let me know if you know of or belong to any local theme camps? I'm looking forward to meeting up with everyone at one of the local events. When I left SF, I was wondering where all the burners had gone!
