#18 “Being SHY at Black Rock City”

A response to an email question about Playa Shyness:

“I’m heading home for my third burn this year and I am wondering what advice you’d give me… I don’t know if shy is the right word but it’s the word I’m going to use.  I’m shy.  And one of the ways this affects me in BRC is that I don’t feel like walking into camps.  Even camps I know are there for everyone, I just feel like I’m an outsider, or like I don’t belong or am intruding on everyone’s happy time together.  So let’s say I came by Pink Heart and saw you and wanted to come over and say hi.  I’d feel like I would be interrupting whatever conversation you were having or I’d stand there awkwardly not wanting to bother you but wanting to say hi and I just don’t know how to not feel like I’m bothering people or like I’m a random stranger and not one of them.  Or even just going in to the camp and… just hanging out or flopping on a couch or whatnot.  It all feels so… I’m not sure.  Like I shouldn’t because I’m not part of something/the camp/the friendships.

Thoughts?”

#14 Theme Camps

“What do you get from a Theme Camp?”  Theme Camps are the molecules that make up the Burning Man Body. You can join a theme camp. You can make one. You can be one by yourself.  But make sure the point is to GIFT Black Rock City.

#16 Rangers

Episode 16 is less of a “trick” and more of a clarification and definition. “Who are the Rangers and how do I relate to them?” More importantly, “Do I have to act sober around them?!”
