| No images? Click here  Volume 29, Issue #16 | April 30, 2025   The most important thing to bring to Burning Man is YOU. Bring your whole self: your full presence, and gift your heart and creativity to the people around you. That right there is Immediacy. Of course, also bring everything you need to survive in the desert for eight days. But to show up in BRC with your Burner gear and leave yourself behind, THAT would be a disservice. If this is your first rodeo, youβre not alone. Every year, around a third of Black Rock Cityβs citizens are new to the event. Black Rock City can be daunting until you realize: everyone is welcome. Start where you are with what you've got. Bring your friends and something to share; help out on a project, or join one of the teams that makes Black Rock City happen. This Playa Primer is a great place to begin. Just like that: Burning Man becomes you. If you registered to acquire tickets in the April 30 Tomorrow Sale, guess what day it is? The ticket sale is open now. Quick, go find the email we sent you. Click on your special link and jump into the sale!

My donations were a small way of saying thanks and contributing to the beautiful community we create every year.
