Hey odd duck!!!
Yes... try to attend
Transformus this year if you can. It will give you a vague idea about what Burning Man will be like. But it should be noted that Transformus is a more laid back vibe. This is dictated up front simply by the nature of its setting in a deep, Blue Ridge Mountain cove. And that feeling seems to flow out from there and permeate everything else.
Burning Man is a bit more intense, in my opinion, and is set in the middle of a flat, dusty and
enormous dry lakebed desert. From the weather to the emotional swings, to the energy that is pulsing around you, its all a whole 'nother level.
And I’ll second the advice of reading the
First Timer’s guide and survival guid through and through again.
