Also, there are a lot of Burners in Montreal. Email either of these guys, show them your YouTube channel to show you are for real, and they'll totally help get you connected with regular events. http://regionals.burningman.org/regionals/canada/montreal/ Usually Burning Man communities have weekly pub meetups, or potlucks. This is a great way to connect with your local community. These guys probably also know of art projects that need extra hands or help getting built. Volunteer. Serve drinks at a fundraiser, or whatever. You will meet great people.
Yeah, I hear there are monthly potlucks, we have a fb page - but I never attended. I'll try to make it next time, and meet some new people :) Sounds like a lot of fun anyway, I just always made excuses not to go, because I don't know anybody but I should just get over that.
"Not knowing anybody" is one of the reasons people don't go to things... and one of the first things that blows people's minds when they first experience Burning Man. Go to the potluck. See what happens. I think you are going to be very surprised at how welcoming a community can be. Tell them what you want, and you will instantly have five or six people excitedly trying to help you out! It is a really cool community, and the potlucks are an easy way to find your place within that community.
