So, anyone doing (or have done) any regionals this year?

I know Toast is over (and I heard about the snow and am NOT sorry I missed it! <grin>)...

This year I made it to Flipside in Texas:aka Dripside, Mudslide, etc, and which we almost couldn't even GET to because of flooded roads, but our spot ended up pretty mud-free, and it DID keep the bugs down, so that was nice...

For my first regional, seriously kickass! (Of course, camping with crazy people helped... heh heh heh.)

Hoping to finally make it to Transformus in NC next month, but of course we don't have tickets yet, so who knows...

If I can get the time off work, after hanging with the Texas folks I want to try to make Myschievia - the north Texas burn- in October.


Heard a lot about Playa Del Fuego from my boyfriend who has gone a bunch, but those dates are the same as other events' dates, so I'll probably not make it to that one, and Singularity is just too close to the other ones I want to make and I'm not job-free and independently wealthy, so probably not that one either (though we almost went last year).

Any regionals you guys are going to/ want to go to/ etc?

As far as I can tell (just because these are the people I hear about), the southern states have really been just exploding with burner activity, but I haven't personally heard much about the rest of the country (or anywhere else)... any exciting new regional burns or burner communities in, say, the Pacific Northwest? Ohio? Australia?


Let's hear it for local love! <grin>

I went to Flipside this year! It was fun...but a misnomer. It rained the entire time. Some folks are calling it "Floodside"

Ah yes, Floodside- I knew I was missing one... ;)

Where were you camped? I was with C.O.L.D.E.R. (which: something of a coinkydink that the year COLD added the ER, it was -comparatively- a cold and rainy year).
