First timer? Join Scott Free and Hambone for a brief but informative presentation designed to ease your entry in to Black Rock City, followed by a QA session to answer any burning last minute questions you may have.

Also, just to clarify: this is an alcohol-free, all ages, capacity-limited venue. I know this event has taken various shapes and forms over the years, some of which have had a social /happy hour tacked onto the end, but due to venue constraints, this year's will be an informational meeting only, and due to capacity should really be kept to newcomers. Sorry crusty vets! However, BURN has a happy hour as well as a Beach Outing in the works coming up very soon (stay tuned for dates/details about both!) so there will be ample opportunity for some Chicago burning man community socializing right around the corner!
