alt Hacker NewsLook up whatever regional burns[1] exist in your country or neighboring countries, and attend one of those. Ideally, join whatever online community exists around it first, and then reach out to some of the camps that interest you about joining and helping with whatever it is they like to do. I love Burning Man, but I can honestly say that I've had a lot more fun at my local regional burns than I've had at the big burn.
oh wow, there's one in my country in a region which i've never visited but always wanted to go to, maybe that's a sign :D thanks!
