    I live in chicago. i'm becoming more and more involved with the burning man community. i personally live on the southside, but there are many people across the city you can meet if you're interested. if you are interested in fire play, hooping, or perhaps some form of suspension, dancing, art, whatever! or just being involved in a loving, wonderful group of buners/ravers/hippies, then contact me :) :love: :sunny:

    we have many awesome events, including parties, grilled-cheese competitions, fire practice, hoop jams, full moon fire jams, festivals, arts&craft events, raves, drum circles, what have you. there are many places to see across the city, with beautiful people.

    hope to! obviously depends on the monetary situation/what else is going on in my life. but even if i can't make it to the big burn, i'll be attending other smaller, regional burns.

    hell yeah. the warmer months allow us to have outdoor fire jams and drum circles and the like. there will be plenty of festivals, parties, grilled cheese cook offs, what have you.

    Might be interested in connecting during the summer. Still need to get a lot of things together in my life, but I've been evolving fast over these past few months. I imagine any money and transportation problems will be solved by then.

    If you're hitting up Summer Camp, I'll be there. Can't afford to wait another year and miss out on all the hype.

    As do I, but the planets didn't align in support of my hopes of Lakes of Fire tickets.
    How did you fare, Jay?
    Did you do Chiditarod?
    Glad the scene's blowing up, but bummed lots of good folks and cool projects won't be there.

    That sounds really cool how do I get involved in the Burning Man Community? Like how can I find out when and where stuff is going on?

    I'm a couple hours out from Chicago these days, but it's a straight shot on the train from here.

    It's a great community!
    Sign up for the mailing lists at the site below and get in the loop (pardon the pun). Volunteer for some stuff, lots going on.
    Resonate 8.0 was a big Chicago Burning Man All-Night Freakfest at Metro/SmartBar this past weekend.
    I love the less rave-type events, like the shopping cart costumed mush race, prankfest, pubcrawl, and food drive that is Chiditarod.
