Event Description

Yes Volks it's here again. The premier van event at the north end of Ocean
Beach, San Francisco on Saturday, January 9,beginning about 3 or so and
ending with a big burn, bURNINGvAN 2010!

Christian P will be there with tales of travels to far off exotic lands,
maybe some photos [Christian?]. Mourkas claims she can't detour on her way
to Death Valley which is on the way to BBB. I don't understand why not.

And this year there's a rumor that BenT, cofounder of the event, may
actually show up BEFORE the event is over. How's that for exciting? Well I'm
excited and I'm the one who's starting the rumor.

I'm trying to contact the Stockton contingent. Last year they showed up with
a wrecked bug case which brightened up the day considerably, and the night
too. [We're still apologizing to the ship that ran aground last year by
following the bright light].

And the usual cast of thousands.

I'll post this on the syncro list. If anyone knows how to post on SAMBA
would they please do that? Although I'm not sure why a bunch of dancers
would be interested. Oh well.

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on January 12, 2010 at 8:36pm: I'll post some pics later this week. It was a good time and good to see Frank there!

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on January 16, 2010 at 10:31am: Last Saturday - the 9th of January - we packed up Big Blue and headed to Burning Van at Ocean Beach, deep in the heart of San Francisco. We had heard about it through VW Camper Family and saw more details on TheSamba.com. Less than an hour south of us, how could we not go?

First stop was in the sunset district of San Fran to pick up our friend Peter from Elementhis. Earlier contact with Peter informed us his engine was out and his bus was an 80% chance of going. When we arrived, he was putting the bumper back on. Engine in. Started fine. His red '70 would be leading the way...

And so we arrived to find something like 30 vanagons, 1 split and a Thing. We were the only Bay Windows, although another showed up a little while later.

Our friend and fellow VW Camper Family member Frank showed with his wife.

EP + Beach = happiness.
