4:01pm | It’s getting near that time of year again, and if 2011 is anything like 2010, many Long Beachers will be transporting themselves out to high-desert Nevada for the experience (what else to call it?) that is Burning Man.

But just how many of us will be out there? What will be doing? How does the Long Beach community represent itself within the Burning Man community? That’s what I’d like to find out.

If you’re a Long Beach resident who is going to Burning Man this year, please contact me at [email protected]. Just say, “Hey, I’m going!” or something like that, and I will follow up with you in the coming weeks for a story to run in late August.

As they say out on the playa: Welcome home.
