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 Blake on December 31, 2009 at 9:02am: I've been about 2 times before and it always becomes interesting as the night gets old. Bring food samplers to share and welding goggles if you want to look at the bright magnesium light.

Comment by Larry Rust on January 1, 2010 at 9:42pm: I sure hope that next Sat. stays open. If so, Hilda and I will be there. We will keep trying till it works. Hope to meet you'all.

Comment by Peter on January 2, 2010 at 9:08pm: I'll be there. It's only a few blocks from my place, so if anyone wants to hang out at my place before we drive down, feel free to contact me.

Comment by Big Blue's Driver on January 2, 2010 at 10:54pm: Cool. Sounds like we'll be a small group among a lot of new people. I'm bringing down a new couple to the group - they are rebuilding a 1982 Westy and I hope to get them to some campouts soon. They'll be coming down in Big Blue with us as their engine is still spread out in their garage.

See you guys next weekend!

Comment by Blake on January 7, 2010 at 5:56pm: I'm bummed. Not going to Burning Van. I have a family reunion I can't get out of in Napa.

Comment by Ma'ili Point Westy on January 8, 2010 at 6:51pm: I'm planning on arriving at OB around 4:00 to check it out.

Comment by Ma'ili Point Westy on January 9, 2010 at 7:47am: Someone mentioned no burn day tonight.
