Oh, all my old school eplaya peeps- I miss you. I'm thinking about camping out. I'm in Columbus, but have diesel low gears in my TDI, so that drive gets shorter. Andyways,let's keep it real; there are people out there right now. I see old nineties grainy vhs video of smaller days gone bye, and I can...

Hello fellow burners: friends and colleagues, frenemies and haters (you know there be some haters :wink: ) Happy 2019- Still dusting off my eplaya from last year, I wanted to see about getting a post together, gathering a collective of some sort of "best practices" thread, for what one should to do ...

My debit card was charged for 2 tickets and a vehicle pass but the page timed out prior to seeing a confirmation page. Additionally, I never received a confirmation email. Did I get tickets or not?!?!?!?!

Please let me know if you find out an answer to this- I'm in the same boat!!

We are all awesome (you included Token ;) ), because we are positive builders and creators on this post, having a thoughtful, respectful, engaging discussion. This...is what posts and threads "should" be constructed of. Unfortunately, this thread here does not represent the majority, not just of the...

Very good philosophical question Token- I really dig the distinction Papa Bear made- there’s certainly a difference between “relying on” and “making use of.” Repair camps for instance are a great example of this. You never know when and where something will break. So planning on that front in the co...

Omg, please no. The other two posts in the theme camp 2019 forum are already full of that catty shit. Please post it there instead. I am amazed at the amount of vitriol burners have the other 51 weeks of the year...

Greetings, Way stoked to see this post- yes, you are the first. And while all your other services sound awesome, Repair Camps are in short supply and deeesperately needed on the playa, and the numbers swelling each year. Your bike service is hugely valued sir. And branch locations, whaaat? Totally u...

Hey everyone, After quite a full inbox this week lol, I think I need to add an update reply to this thread. I did have tickets I still needed to sell when I made the post. But out of PLUR, I started with hometown love and my Columbus Burners FB group. And yeah...they were gone pretty much instantly....

I hope this post doesn't have to be moved for purity sake. I am posting it in this section because I am grateful beyond words to all the veterans who helped me in here, as I grew and learned by leaps and bounds in my understanding of the theme camp space. Thank you immensely for all your help this s...

Yes Token, I am definitely gonna have to put this on my "must check out list!" lol.

Berthoud CO. By that, are we talking Berthoud pass? Cuz I used to live in Winter Park, Granby to be exact. But it's all the Fraser Valley once you get past the pass, IMHO.

Holy shit, you rock. I owe you and thensome.

$2500?

Gimme the night to think about it, but I'll probably do it.

Hey, I get what you're saying now. Ahh, the lost-in-translation that happens over text and how it shapes perceptions. I thought I was pretty clear it was for my contacts, but I guess I could see how that line on the sheet could make that confusing. I put that line in, with the thought that I'd attac...

Whoa Ratty, bad day? I thought the post was fairly straight-forward. I created the sheet to better keep track of "my" contacts. The ones I already have, along with all the all the phone numbers, email addresses, etc. The request for input on "changes or edits" was to the form itself (maybe a field I...

Over the last month I've been in full network-ninja mode, but now with this sprawling list of connections I've been making, across a ridunkulous amount of mediums (posts, emails, texts) and platforms (ePlaya, Spark, Reddit, FB, etc.), keeping good track of them is starting to kick my ass. And while ...

Hey, that is many different angles and perspectives that paint a much better picture of understanding- I feel better now lol, and thank you for that! While the sheer numbers of the main sale vis a vis the nothingburger of any posts for them here, certainly piqued my interest, the pragmatism you expl...

To be clear, this isn't is a bitter post- I've got my tickets, and may have to sell a few, so I thought I'd check out this section. But I look at the "wanting to buy" posts, many simply asking for reasonably priced tickets. And then I go over to the "have tickets to sell page" and hmmm, how interest...

Right here with ya brother. Cbus represent!

Hittin' the road Thursday the 23rd. Post back or PM me if you wanna meet up and kick it on the playa.

I ran into this same dilemma when designing my camp. I had two drums and my transfer pump, but my calcs didn't have me making it through the week. I thought maaaybe I'd find some nugget on the BM site about some sort of special permit exceptions. I mean, big camps draw big power. 110 gallons seems l...

Ha ha. Token...they must have some seriously wuss trucks out your way. I guess we can rack it up to Cali emission standards? LOL Sooo just kidding! BM newbie, but trucks w/ ass is most def my wheelhouse ;) Don't get me wrong, a dually is definitely optimal, not absolutely necessary, but optimal- esp...

Dude, that scientific reply you posted was fuckin awesome- just want my brain-sponge digs! Great usable data indeed! Oh shit, I've known about the ThrustSSC for years, but I thought that record was set on the Bonneville salt flats, since that's where most records came from. But it was set in Black R...

Ok...I will trust and put faith in the veteran'ness :wink: I'm still taking the TDI, as I'm rolling solo. It's $300 in diesel or close to a grand, for a massive amount of capacity and a slower transit, both that I certainly won't need. And I really feel Token's sentiments on the matter of "first BM ...

Ok...so let me get this straight- Everyone who drives to BM is by default either knowingly taking a disposable vehicle, or knowingly choosing to gift themselves a several hundred to several thousand dollar paint job when they get back? Sorry guys, love ya, but this makes no sense. My cover will not ...

The TDI is pretty badass, I love those, terffic cars. But I’d bring the truck. Oh and by the way, that TDI is gonna get fucking trashed in black rock desert, by corrosive pervasive dirty dust... another reason not to bring it. Yeah, but my truck is nice too. Rare 6-spd manual with the 7.3L Internat...

The mention I made is a seed for thought in September, when you get back. Don’t jump the gun. Go see, smell, climb, and fall off some, dust yourself off then look at all that can be done. You are still missing a big piece of what BM really is - A weird culture that takes some knowing before going b...

Ok, first off, sad but necessary disclaimer, in the internet-age of saying whatever you feel like because of the lack of consequences: This post is for positive input and suggestions. If you wanna sip haterade and talk smack, take that shit over to the Open Discussion page, or better yet, get the F-...

The general rules for the public have already been cited in this very old post. But just to expand the knowledge base, I thought I would note there are additional options. Naturally, if one is wondering about digging, it's often because you want or have the need to secure a structure. If someone is ...

Now that there is a perfect platform for a mutant vehicle! Ok, so I've been giving some serious thought to this. Not only would he look totally badass all decked out mutant-style (his name is Big Daddy Crawler btw), but dude...it would make building my camp next year that much easier to build. It's...

Let’s not forget the Cacophony roots of the original “Zone Trip” that became the Home of Burning Man. My personal growth demands both honest and deliberate mistakes in others ;) Culture Jamming must live! ^^This! To the OP: I'm bummed and empathetic to hear that your super badass and super ambitiou...
