Yesterday we repositioned to Sacramento, where we keep our Burning Man specific gear in a storage unit. Last night, we swapped out most of our reality camp clothing for playa wear. With limited closet space, we can’t carry both around.
Over the next few days, we need to:
- Procure bikes, as we left ours down in southern California with friends earlier this year due to a bike rack failure.
- Stock up on food & beverages for 12 days
- Buy booze to contribute to our camp’s central bar
- Get haircuts
- Maybe find some more el-wire to decorate our bikes at night with – thankfully, they sell it in grocery stores in Reno now.
Most everything else is taken care of – as bringing your actual house to the playa greatly simplifies preps. For us, Burning Man is essentially like any other day, but with different clothing.
And that’s what our theme camp, Camp Nomadia, is all about. It’s shaping up to be a fantastic camp with over 40 nomads from across the globe. We’ll be a neighborhood of folks who really are at home. And with many thanks to Pandora’s Fix-it Shoppe sharing their space with us, we will have an awesome address of 6:00 & DNA (right behind Center Camp). If you’re playa bound, stop by and see us – or attend one of our Nomadic Happy Hours. We’ll even be doing a ‘Technomadic Lifestyle Workshop’.
We’re slowly inching our way towards the playa this week, with a stop in Reno tomorrow and then visiting friends and Kiki’s kitten-sitter in Fallon. We’ll likely head to the playa on Friday or Saturday with our Early Arrival passes, and help with set up of our camp.
Driving your house onto the playa would definitely be a lot more comfortable than trying to figure out how to live in a tent AND stay keep it dust-free! I’m thinking I’m going to lose that battle! I’m having fun putting together the details … so excited to meet you on the playa!
