Dear loves,
I am incredibly excited to go to Beltane this year.
I have never been to TN before or to a queer-focused Beltane. Really looking to give my queer spirituality a deep probing. Really.
Can any veteran help me / other newbies out with what to bring? I have been to Burning Man before, so I figured the standard for this TN event would basically be the same: radical self-reliance, something to contribute to the community, and of course, sparkling amazing outfits.
Please let me know if I'm wrong or there are any other specifics I should know about, or just drop a note and say hi! I'm excited to meet you all very soon.
I was living in Yemen for 7 months, just arrived in Chicago this week, and will be headed back to SFBay, CA for school sometime soon after Beltane.
I will be driving from Chicago, IL to Nashville TN the last day of April, where I will join a friend of mine. We then plan on heading over to Beltane together the next day, and will stay six days. If you would like a ride from Chicago or somewhere along the way, let me know!

Sat, April 19, 2008 - 6:14 AMBring your patience for the first day. Arriving on Beltane is going to be a bit chaotic for a newbie. But, as long as you get there before noonish you should be there in time to participate in most of the revelry. The six days after will be time well spent however. One thing I always remember to bring for Spring in TN is plenty of rain gear. Mother Nature always seems to supply ample moisture to keep everything lush and green for the gathering.

Thank you. Will be bringing a distinctively colored/decorated towel and some chocolate that can be used in some body-smothering fondue. All the best!
