I remember checking it out when it was under the man. It kicked butt.

2 months before the burn I picked up an old Diesel rig with a 14 foot box on the back. I had some good plans for that! My buddy and I were gonna haul the dome and the carport and all the rest of the goodies. The rig ran me about 3 grand, but I was stoked. Then life's shit hit the fan. I already have...

The last time I went, I pitched my tent inside of a bug screen canopy structure. It was slightly larger then my tent by a few inches on each side. It had a solid nylon roof and a mesh screen for walls. It worked great. The tent was definitely cooler then years past. I think the pocket of air does a ...

Like the guy above, I'm bringing homebrew in some big 5 gallon cans...

I haven't tried it yet, but I hear Dale's Pale Ale gets good reviews. Its a craft beer in a can.

Here are some links

Great Info Elliot! The stuff about the types of chain to use were especially informative. I hadn't heard of #40 chain before, but it makes sense and sounds like something I would want to use. If normal bike chain will skip and jump and derail more frequently, I'd rather not have to worry about it on...

Elliot I added the KSR just to catch your eye ;P I think I'll start with a 2 seater, and leave an open space behind to add more later, just to get the design down. I guess I just tend to approach things from a technical manner, and all the material I find just says, "Grab some metal and go!". I did ...

Howdy folks, Recently I've been scheming about building a 'quadricycle'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadricycle I think I'm pretty setup in my shop to handle the project, but I'm unsure of what size of metal I need to build the frame out of in order to be able to support the load I want to carry (...

For securing car ports, in the past we have used 1/4 rebar about 3 foot long. We drive 18 inches into the ground, through one of the holes in the circle at the base of each leg. Then we tightly wrap cord around the rebar and the leg. Then we tightly wrap duct tape around the rebar and cord and the l...

1330+ Pixels ( really I think we're talking about square meters of fabric now ) commitmed too

I picked up a 100ft tabe measure the other day. I thought it might come in handy on the playa.

"I'd like to put some butter on those crab cakes"

I'm coming in from Eugene. What vehicle I'm taking is still sorta up in the air (I'm thinking of renting or buying a van, but in the past, my group of burner friends has gone in on a uhual or similar type rental), but right now I'm thinking I'll leave friday night, camp part way down, and arrive on ...

If at all possible I'd like to be able to show up on Saturday to set up the dome and help with the tent etc..

I imagine it is the same as anywhere else. Is there some insight into a local nuclear waste dump that we should know about? There was a lot of nuclear testing conducted in Nevada in the past. I'm sure you've seen pictures of mushroom clouds somewhere along the way. The levels might be the same as m...

Has anyone taken a Geiger counter out to the playa with them? I was just wondering what kind of back ground radiation is out there.

Chaps seem like good playa apparel!

It is my understanding that marine radar units can already do this, and that they may already be employed in order to catch people wandering around out by the trash fence.

I had ribs for lunch.. MMMmmmmmm ribs.

As per request... Here is a pick of the pool table I'll set up in the bar. http://imageserver4.textamerica.com/user.images.x/27/IMG_454227/_0824/T520050824214101401.jpg Last year I dropped it off at Swinger's Lounge for the week. It was used and abused a lot! It seemed to be well liked by all. It's ...

The pool table is all wood and perfect for the playa. It's not league quality or anything, but its fun to shoot a few games on.

Last year people were playing almost every time I stopped by Swinger's. It was well used. Every bar needs a pool table!

Hey all! I just wanted to stop by and drop off this pool table.. http://imageserver4.textamerica.com/user.images.x/27/IMG_454227/_0824/T520050824214101401.jpg Last year I dropped it off at Swinger's Lounge. This year Swinger's won't be as big of a bar / attraction. So it seems like it should go in t...

Woot! I'm back from vacation (and a bit more tan than I normally am . That's some good news about the Sat. image. It was nice to see the plug again in the JRS. The site traffic always seems to spike a little then, and it looks like we've had a few new folks both sign up, and commit to pixels!

FYI- I'm off for Hawaii for a week. See you goons later!

...Enter 3M "Super 77" Spray Adhesive... I used this when re-felting the pool table I brought onto the playa last year. It worked great. First I used Clorox bleach pens to bleach out an image onto some cheap (yet decent) wool first. Then sprayed down the wood (it was old) pool table surface with th...

This has me thinking, my Siruis Satellite radio player will rebroadcast the incoming signal for about 100 feet on a FM station that I pick. It seems funny that this would seem to be against the above rule. The iTrip, and similar devices will transmit like that as well. I'm sure there is an range or...

Sounds great! I think I'll have a beer on my way home from work! (at the bar, not while driving)

Hah! Last night I was at my buddies black smith shop. I've only tried smithing a few times, but last night I managed to briefly pickup a piece of rebar that was waaay too hot to hold. Today I have blisters in neat little rebar patterned lines on the palm of my hand. Typing is a little harder now :)

How about some after dinner nipples?

I thought about the pool deal before. I like swimming, so I would love to soak or swim a few laps while there. And everyone says that you can do what ever you want at burning man, you just have to build it. But I gotta say, a swimming pool seems like the most un-feasible idea I can think of. First o...

I think this looks great btw!! You should send out another email about it when it is soildified.
