hoopers at Burning Man...

I have the same question. I have made a lot of friends here this past year and would love to meet you all and play in person. I was also thinking about Hoop Camp as well.

I'll be going this year! This will be my third year and also my first year as a hooper. I'll be bringing my fire and LED hoop, so I am really excited about that. I don't know where we will be camped yet because they haven't assigned spots to theme camps just yet, but I'll be with a fire camp call Suckie Fuckaye!

I'll be at Burning Man. All year I'd been saying I wasn't going, but then a couple nights ago I decided to go and I bought my ticket on Friday. Not sure of any hoop jams yet, although I'm sure they will happen. This year is my first year in a while where I have no commitments or projects so my plan is to hoop daily in center camp. That's the only part of my burn I'm sure of. I will be at HoopCamp too.

I'll be going to Burning Man this year for the first time, and will definitely bring hoops! I'm working on making a collapsible fire hoop now, and since I can't afford an LED hoop and haven't gotten the hang of making them yet, I'm just going to bring a normal collapsible hoop and strap a bunch of glow sticks to it at night :)
Wooo I'm excited!

I'll be there.
I camp with the Golden Cafe... we have live music all day... perhaps we can jam there one afternoon?

I too will be attending Burning Man! I just order my PSI hoop and it will be here in time for the burn this year! So stoked!!! I will be camping with Oobleck Village (a conglomerate of multiple camps) and we'll be hosting a bar, with music and a number of interactive art instillations.

I'm so glad someone posted about BM in this tribe - I have a question that involves both hoops and burning man, but couldn't decide which tribe would be best for my question. Here goes:

So, I'm gifting hoops on the playa this year. I've been working on this project for the last 3 months and have been making great head way. I plan on bringing about 50 hoops - right now, I have about 30 completed and am on target for my goal. They are beautiful and super shiny. I'm really excited to bring these with me as gifts so I can spread my love of hooping with people while there. My question is this, do you think I should include some sort of care instructions/hoop info with the hoops I give? I was thinking of making a small card and securing it to the hoops using gold elastic bands. On the card i would have basic care information (i.e. don't leave them sitting in a hot car, storage hints, cleaning hints) and websites where people can learn more about hooping (i.e. hooping.org, hooping tribe, youtube.) My main concern with doing this is the moop potential. I don't want the cards to go flying around creating more moop. Also, I don't know if people will even find them useful. Would you have found an info card useful when you bought/received your first hoop?

I've been debating this for a while, but the time is drawing near, so some input would be most welcomed! Let me know if you think this is a good idea or just overkill and also, if you have any important tips you think might be useful, please forward them so I can include them on the cards.

Thanks guy! I'm excited for some feedback!

I will be going.My forte is music, but will look forward to doing some hooping over at hooping camp.

well i am of course wanting to go even more now that i know a lot of you will be there...we shall see, i will know more in the next week or two. but let's all keep each other posted on events, camp locations, etc.!

Hey All, appreciate the input and thrilled to hear that so many of you coming this year. I look forward to playing with you on the playa. I'm staying at Celestial Bodies camp, which we expect to be located in Avalon Village this year. Come by our lounge bar for a fab Playa Cosmo; vodka, gatorade with a splash of cran - we consider it a playa health drink - and it's yummie. We could also host a hoop session if there's interest. We'll have a CD / iPod compatible sound system.

I first picked up a hoop at BM 3 years ago for a 3 minute spin but then never persued it again until last year. So happy to be in the hoop'n community. You're awesome. Thanks for including this old man.
Cheers, --s--

ohmygodohmygodohmygod!!!! I'm getting even more excited now! Only 40 days until the Playa is ours!

Thanks for the love, Ann, Xta and Emily! I'm pretty excited about my project. I definitely hope to make each hoop I gift a personal experience. With all the time, effort and love that I’ve put into each one, I worry that the person receiving it won’t be able to get me to shut up about hooping, how much I love it, why they should love it too, and where they can get more info on it! I don’t want to overwhelm them, so I though something they could take with them as a reminder would be helpful. I like the idea of the website link sharpied onto the hoop actually (or taped with a piece of paper) - then no moop and if they are interested, they could check it out at their leisure post-playa.

Hope to see you all soon!!!!

Eesh! Good luck, Jennaluna! Sound like you have a lot on your plate. Don't worry about making a bunch of hoops - I know they're fun to make and give, but getting yourself there is paramount! Hope everything works out!

i'm going to add a third vote to the "meet at pex" idea! i'll be camping there too, and i agree that we've got some pretty fantastic hooping music :)
