Definitely a necro-post ... but those of us that have loved TTG on-playa may enjoy this song ...

"please hold for God"

Doesn't make a difference how many burns you've participated in, those tickets were allocated to the camp. By participating in the camp's allocation in the Steward's sale you essentially made a commitment to the camp. However, if you no longer want a part of that operation, make other ticketing arr...

Live from the playa, thanks to StarLink. I guess that the internet really has come to the playa ... sigh.

anyone have experience with the conversion? When I was shopping for a Honda EU2200i last year, I had the same concerns as you about running it on gasoline, and so I bought a pre-converted generator, that runs on exclusively on either propane or natural gas, rather than buying one of the after-marke...

Big truck stop parking lots are good for sleeping along the way. When traveling in my van, I use an app called 'park advisor' It shows truck stops, rest areas, koa, campgrounds, rv sites and walmarts. With reviews by users, it is very helpful. Thank you for the advice and the tip, I've installed th...

Totally excellent Burner Dude, I nearly pee'd myself in admiration of the awesomeness of your transcended wisdom!

Some departments have a system in place. As Ratty says, and as you presumably already know ... Departments already have ways to make sure that the people who are volunteering for the right reasons, and who step up to make BRC work for everyone, can be thanked for their passion, and can come back in...

You'll probably choke on the cost, but this is pretty-much exactly the scenario that the Sundanzer chest fridges and freezers were designed for.

I merely point out that the situation is a bit more complex than AntiM's blanket "You can leave ashes in the Temple", and that you should not seek help or assistance from a Temple Guardian. I sincerely doubt that any Temple Guardian would ever ask to see someone's Permit, or attempt to enforce whate...

You can leave ashes in the Temple. Make sure they're in a combustible container (look on Amazon for bio-degradable urns). I am taking my husband's ashes this year, and his kilt. Hell, a whole skeleton dressed in his gear to hold his paper urn. CREMATED REMAINS (ASHES) Of special note is the topic o...

And then there’s all us old burners who figured out working for nothing on your vacation... sucks. If you don't get any personal fulfillment from volunteering then yes, it is for nothing. I on the other hand have had some of my most memorable moments volunteering, meeting people, and being a cog th...

This is cool ... I hope y'all have a great burn!

Allocating tickets for people who volunteer or for other measurable means of participating in the event will be a great shift. Well, AFAIK art projects can already get their own ticket allocations, and the ORG already has systems in place for volunteers. Could you please expound on what you think i...

Those tickets are suppose to be assigned to individuals at the time of issue. The camp has to supply names for those tickets. I got two DGS tickets this year both in my name. I will give the physical tickets to someone the leads designate. Yeah, that's my experience, too. The DGS tickets themselves...

Just realize that you can be replaced by a section of steel pipe at the next burn. Oh, Token, you really don't understand the level of scrutiny that Burning Man comes under from Federal and Local authorities these days. Yes, most (but not all) of the perimeter volunteers could probably be replaced ...

Volunteerism The Movie: ... So, if you’re not in Bucket 1 - your sucking a pacifier. Jeez, so I guess that my time as a member of Bucket 3, as a Temple Guardian, is totally wasted then. That's good to know. The 10hrs that I spent on Sunday last year, closing the Temple, setting the perimeter so tha...

Suggestion 1) Could ePlaya add a Volunteer Opportunities forum under the 2019 Event section? This would give artists, projects, villages and camps, departments, etc. a means to attract volunteers while offering participants an easy way to learn about opportunities and their specifics. I do find it ...

You advised a newbie a while back not to sign up to volunteer too much for the first time out there. This will be my first BM, and I wanted to get involved immediately, so I signed up right away to get placed on a team that I would like. I planned to sign up for a fair amount of volunteer time. Has...

How about Mr, Mr. So on the radio it would be Mr, Mr, Mr, Mr. Hold on ... wasn't that one of the gags on the classic "Police Squad (in color)"? Are you teasing me, young lady? :shock: :wink: Warthog is pure gold for a callsign. Hahaha ... Yep! :lol: But the chance that there hasn't been a "Ranger W...

How about just 'hog'?

Yep, I agree, I expect that I'm going to have to come up with yet-another name to add to the confusion ... but gawd, I hope that I can find something better than "Hog"!

You old whore you Thank you for recognizing my "talents"! :P Ron Jeremy. I would never claim to be "THE Hedgehog", I'm just a plain old common average Mr Hedgehog. Even then; I've just found out that there's already a Ranger Hedgehog, and that that could cause some confusion on the radio. Jeez ... ...

Wow ... how time files! :shock: I thought that I'd bump this old thread since I'm now even older, and possibly even more cynical, than before ... but I finally got a real playa-name, and so have just changed my username here as I get ready for my 4th TTITD. I'm also likely to start whoring for on-pl...

"The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) issued a solicitation on Tuesday, May 28 for comprehensive network services to support public safety efforts at the 2019 Burning Man Festival ... Among the services that BLM needs are cameras for monitoring the crowd"

@Token @LowePro @Sham ... Really gentlemen ... do you have absolutely no sense of Dusty Romance left in you??? ;-) Having a tandem bike on-playa has improved my experience at Burning Man to a great degree! :-) Added bonuses ... none of the drunks are going to steal it ... it's just too darned big, u...

I've got to say that accidentally finding the Barbie Death Camp in my first year on playa was a really fun experience. :D Doc himself offering me a totally-unexpected glass of wine only made it (and the playa in general) a more treasured memory. Having said which ... while I'm still very much an ePl...

Sorry OP, but you've got to admit that there's something absolutely hilarious about the idea of a camp chock-full of " purpose-driven entrepreneurs, creatives, and amazing humans ", who seek to inspire people how to make " the world work for 100% of humanity in the shortest possible time " ... actua...

Perhaps pappachuk could find something to do to be a part of Burning Man, that's more useful than just trying to build yet another plug-n-play hotel-camp for tourists. The ORG is currently looking for ... Position: DPW Fuel Department Administrative Assistant Location: Gerlach, NV JOB SUMMARY The DP...

It would be spectacular if the BLM Caps the thing at 50K right after the main Ticket sale. It would be absolutely hilarious, wouldn't it? :wink: But I suspect that the option is really in there to appease the folks that are opposed to Burning Man, and to provide a worst-case-scenario negotiating ta...

The really *fun* stuff is in the Mitigation Measures in Appendix E of Volume 2 of the report. These proposals would apply whatever size the event is limted to. Draft Mitigation Measure : PHS-1 At all portals of entry into the Event, beginning 14 days before Labor Day, BRC will be required to contrac...

It'd be nice if the map were still available.

A couple of big refrigerated shipping containers sure could store a lot of caviar and lobsters.
