Hello aviators!

I hope that sending this message to all of you is OK and that this works...it was the best way I could glean from various sources and researching how to fly as a passenger to Burning Man! Please let me know if there are better or more effective ways to find and contact y'all. (I also posted this on the aviators-list board).

I am looking for space for three people to fly from the Portland, Oregon area to the Playa with an aviator who is flying out of anywhere in Oregon or Washington (preferably Portland/Vancouver (WA)-Salem-Eugene area) to the Burn and, ideally, who is making a short but sweet trip (say, Thursday, Friday or Saturday through Sunday or Monday). The group of three could conceivably be split into 2 and 1, if someone has room for only two people or one person--as long as they all get there.

Your passengers would be veteran burners, uber-contributors and stellar humans Kurt (DJ Global Ruckus, whose presence on the Playa has been requested by many), his newlywed wife Sija (of Black Rock Ranger, Airport Customs, MonkeyPuzzle, Woonami Village and the Mobile Groove Bomb notoriety) and Matty V., (also of MonkeyPuzzle/Bomb Squad/Mobile Groove Bomb renown, and my sweetie who I met on Burn night last year-it would be our anniversary (awww!)).

Due to reality-based challenges, these three wonderful Burners were going to have to miss the Burn this year. But if you have the ability, space and inclination, they could circumvent these annoying hurdles (time, money, work...) and make it to the Burn! In a timely, amazing, stylish/rock star fashion, no less. Of course, fuel costs and expenses would be gladly compensated.

Please advise if you are this special hero, or if you have any helpful information, ideas and/or advice about getting these deserving people out to the Playa.

Many thanks,

Heather "Bomb-Ass" Baker
