You're right, I actually read the FAQ months ago, it's embarrassing I read my own agenda into it. I'm gonna go take another closer look at it and the First Timer's Guide again.

Roberto, who said the OP is a she, when even the OP didn't say so? That is, other than in some people's here, wildest, wettest fantasies? For a very young gal barely of legal age for consent, going to college in LA, her first posts wouldn't be expressing an interest in finding "public sex acts" done in the open. Her first question would be more like an excited, "Are sparkles cool there, and how do I find a pony?" If the OP was a college aged guy, his first question would be like a slobbering, "How do I get past the sentry and into such mythical camps?" As well as not referring to himself as a college-aged "kiddo". While writing with prose more typical of a college aged kiddo. Or, while writing with prose more typical of a kiddo from LA.
Why do you suppose that the OP is not a 30 something rather large guy with a military posture, an extra 20 pounds, and extremely copious amounts of body hair, based out of Carson City/Reno, living his ultimate wet dream fantasy of pretending to be a "virgin, kinky, young, nude, nurse" to try to get some false info for purposes nefarious to us?
BTW, please tell your friend, Simon, that, in an unbelievable first, that he has absolutely nothing to apologize for

(I apologize in advance if I offended anyone with the sparkles and pony humor)
Well, rest your heart, I'm definitely not "barely of legal age." Naive in regards to BM, though? Absolutely. I've received private messages and replies here apologizing for being mistrusting. But I
do understand why I got the responses I did. No apologies necessary from you guys!
I'm sorry if my sexuality made you feel uncomfortable. I figured the crowd here could handle it, though. I don't have any interest in sparkles, so apologies for that disappointment, as well.
I hope I can see you one summer and give you a big, un-sparkley, nude bear hug.

Since starting this thread, I have received some good information, though! So thanks for the help! I may stick to reddit and fetlife for further newbie questions, however

EDIT: Also forgot to mention I had no idea LEO's read these boards. I seriously don't blame anyone for reacting out of protection for the event and ticket prices. Also I'm on my phone, so I haven't read the most recent replies, apologies if what I responded with is no longer relevant.
As you were!
