Hey!
I'm looken' for some fellow Burners (other people who go to Burning Man) from Fort Collins. Just moved into town about 7 months ago and I'm trying to hook up with the local contingent. Maybe we can get some billion bunny marches, beer crawls, santa con's and other gatherings started??? collaborative art installations for the playa??

Any burners (like me) most likely not going to make it to Burning Man '06?? I'm interested in setting up some sort of - much more local - weekend long camping trip... or join one that might already be set up?? for the stragglers.
Gimme a holler if you're intrested.

Looking forward to hearing from and hopefully meeting with some of you! I hear you're lurking out there somewhere!

Best wishes,
Cat

    find any burners yet? I'm looking for some too - I moved here last year and want to go to BM this year. I've never been but looking to meet up with folks who have gone and/or are going this year.

      Hmm, must have missed this thread the first time around. Welcome to the neighborhood.

      At a guess, I'd say the biggest concentration of "burners" is down in Denver and Boulder (there's even an effort to create a burner-centric neighborhood in Denver), as well as some on the western slope. As you spread out from there, it gets a bit more sparse, but we still exist. My lovely partner and I are in Berthoud now and there are a few in Longmont and Loveland, but I'm not sure who might be up in Fort Collins.

      Your best bet is either to hit a regional event like Apogaea (already past for this year), or to get on the colorado burning man email list at colorado-bm@yahoogroups.com. There are other more specific lists for groups like the Colorado Fire Tribe and the HeeBeeGeeBee Healers, but the colorado-bm list is the right place to start.

      Afraid we're not going to make it to BM '06 ourselves. We're having a baby instead (something we're just not up to doing on the playa).

        Not an official "Burner" yet, but I have many burner friends & family. I've been to local burner events, and I'm planning to move out to Ft. Collins this summer (probly w/ other almost-burner friends)... perhaps we'll make it out to Burning Man this year!!! There may not be many now, but I'll jump onto the nascent pile!! *GRINS*

        Thanks for the info!!

          You're most welcome. FYI, Apogaea (www.apogaea.com) will be in June this year, so if you get here early enough you'll get a chance to go play.

          In any case, drop us a line when you arrive. Our little one is four months old now, so we're finally getting enough sleep to be a little more social again.

    I think we are all just moving here lol. I would love to start coordinating some events... I'm missing it soooooo. Let me know... I'm filming at the burn next year for the instalations. I missed this year... moving here, but there is much ahead of us!
    Love and Light

    Hey y'all freaks!

    Wanted to bump this post back up and chime in with my "yeah we're burners too!!!"

    Have yet to actually do the BRC thing, but I loves me some Apogeezus!

    If anybody up here needs tickets to this years Apo, they have provided me some so we don't all have to drive to Denver for them... Hit me up on here or send me an email at michaelblank (at) gmail (dot) com!!

    Apogaea's website is www.apogaea.com. Its the only burn I know, but I swear by it - you don't wanna miss this.

      Hello Luki!
      Thank you for bumping my post back up :)
      Did you make it out to Apo this year?

      So... This is a Do-Ocracy (see something you want done, Do it!) right??

      I'm calling a Meet and Greet for Fort Collins.
      Saturday, June 21st
      Avo's (Avogadro's number)
      605 S. Mason | Ft. Collins, CO | 970.493.5555
      5pm - whenever

      There is a musician playing on the patio at 7pm. Cost is $16 if you want to stay for that. ...otherwise, there's the bar, the dining area, we could do a beer crawl of Fort Collins, or??? Suggestions welcome.

      Hope to see you all there!
      Best wishes,

      • Sounds wonderful! Apogaea was pretty awesome, this year my first. I'd love to meet some locals finally.

        We will be there!

        As a side note, do you know about fire performing in foco? It would be radical if we could set up some performances. I heard someone used to spin in downtown. Know anything of this? I'm achin to break out my fire staff this summer.

        Much love and light
        • Unfortunately, Naughy Lil Kristy and I will be in Winter Park for Sonic Bloom on the 21st, so we won't make it to Avo's, but we have a beautiful home here and would love to host the next meet and greet... It would be pretty low key, BBQ, music, potentially a little fire spinning in our yard, and good chance to meet new people in the scene... any interest?

          Peri - glad your first Apo was good, this was our fourth and they just get better and better every year... Don't know of any established fire spinning performance, but I have several friends who spin poi and we ought to try to put something together...

          CatCat - damn, I didn't even put together who you were, we totally know each other! Lets hang a little over the summer and collaborate!

          P.S. My Apo pics from this year are available at: picasaweb.google.com/michael...gaea2008 (and they are in the public domain...)

    hey,

    not sure if people are still reading this tread, but i just moved to FoCo from San Diego and would also love to meet some local Burners. I'm on all the Colorado Burner lists I could find to find out about events that way =>

      I just moved back to Az from foco... I was very used to the San Diego scene when I first went to Colorado. It seemed very different to me. Apogea was pretty fun... in June, the regional burn. But it wasn't the same, I still haven't put my finger on why... hm. Good luck! My little sister lives in Foco... she spins staff and hoop. She is on my friend list... [ph] you should talk to her...
