Say What?

Oooh how nice.
Last week I posted a thread on a cafe forum in Edinburgh. If there is any Burners in this city they have got to be kicking about in this cafe. I did try to volounteer there but after sitting there with my heart pounding in my chest drinking a coffee watching the clock waiting for the volounteer meeting to start I bottled it. No one knows Im here for the meeting. Im sweating like a bitch. Not a good first impression. Fucking return of the social phobia.

So a very polite post requesting if there are any Burners about resulted in childish,mindless remarks such as these....

i do not think this is a good idea for a festival. thousands of people die in fires every year, and to these hippies it is just a sick joke 'concept' for a festival, the idea of the spirit ascending to the higher realms - should not be refered to so casually.

i would not like to burn to death, or be remembered like that.
i knew some arsonists once, but they are no longer my friends.



I think it is sexist. Is there a Burning Woman? Bet you there's not!


I didnt give them any more fuel for the fire (excuse the pun) and just left it.

But a genuine reply from a Burner was to be had today.

Nice :)
