Regional Contacts

Washington, DC

Our group includes Washington, DC and surrounding areas which include Virginia and Maryland. Burners from Washington, DC and Baltimore are pretty inseparable; plus we have many burners join us from afar (WI,FL,VT,NJ,NY,IL,MA). Some of us camp together at Burning Man, some with Snowflake Village or Videogasm, and others join other camps.

Our Balt-Wash & beyond burners organize two east coast events a year called Playa del Fuego (PDF) - Spring & Fall. We've left the beach for a c/o private site in Odessa, Delaware. We also hold fundraisers to support ideas we want to try out at PDF. Many burners have been gathering in Baltimore every Tuesday for 4 years at a local pub. DC peeps meet irregularly for drinks or dancing.

personal quote: Almost anything will burn if you get it hot enough.

Being a regional contact is important to me because I believe that the community aspect of the Burning Man culture is extremely important and know that it has changed my life in astounding and wonderful ways. I want to help others experience it.
