Write your camp address on her arm in Sharpie. Set her loose.

I'm reminded of a movie from a long time ago. I forget the name, but I believe it starred Virginia Madsen (or someone who looked like her). Down-and-out guy brings home beautiful girl to sparse warehouse apartment. He opens the fridge, as he says, "Can I offer you a beer...or some mayonnaise?" as th...

I was one of those. I arrived for the CORE build on Wednesday before the event, and worked for three days to get it assembled. Rangered and partied five days till the CORE burn, but then I was done; went home Friday. Nine/ten days was plenty, and I don't really like the energy of the city on Saturda...

There's an expression in the gun world, that's probably appropriate here: "spray and pray". If you're not sure you'll get what you're shooting at, take a bunch of pictures, maybe one of them will come out okay. Still dislike that they took away the viewfinders on modern p&s's - but if you're used to...

(The book about the murder is "The Man Burns Tonight".)

I'm reading "The Case for Mars" by Robert Zubrin. 'Cause Mars is, you know, pretty much exactly like Burning Man, except for the costumes and the thumpa-thumpa music.

Batteries work well for LED lights. For cooking, why not use propane - much hotter and easier to use energy-wise.

I'm pretty sure it said, "You can shove your namaste up your first chakra."

"I looked at the area and saw a flood of police lights."

That's not a raid - it's a LEO rave. They really trip on the blinky red and blue lights.

When you need big girl panties, Lane Bryant (Cacique) is a great choice. Don't buy anything there that isn't on sale, and when they ask "what size does your wife wear", tell them "hell if I know, these are for me!"

If all you're holding down is a tent, you don't need rebar. Use large tentstakes - I use military 12" v-stakes for a 12x12 large canvas tent, but 8" stakes would probably hold down a small tent just fine. Not the crappy aluminum stakes that came with the tent; not those ubiquitous sharp-edged silver...

I really don't see it as a "haves vs. have-nots" thing, or that people who rent a crappy RV for the week are somehow rolling in dough. A beaten-up RV that can make it to the burn and back costs at least $2500 - plus gas - plus you've got to either sell it when you're done, or keep it somewhere. Ren...

The best thing about motorhomes, is it provides needed separation of the Haves (who can afford a them) from us Have-Nots (who can't). Like gated communities in the rest of the world, it allows them to live in their own perfect protected world, while the rest of us have to do what we can to survive. ...

Favorite event name: "Wet Burqua Contest"

In the mean time, why not attend a local event? Or better yet, start one!

Maybe they carry guns because their penises aren't long enough for shirtcocking?

We can't (for various reasons) and don't want to (for other reasons) restrict children from the event. We are required by law enforcement as well as by general obligation to society to search for, and care for other people's lost children. As a community, we accept the responsibility. As individuals...

That's great, it seems to be the same audio stream as BMIR. I assume the location is about 1:00 on the center camp keyhole.

chick was nice though, and paid for the windshield.

Same thing happened at our camp, plus a dent, but it was a guy with a rental car who'd bought insurance for just such a calamity.

395 (assuming the landslide is cleared and your trailer can do 45 up the hills at Mammoth, Bridgeport, and Walker) about twelve hours, plus however long you stop. A little shorter if you don't go through Reno (direct from Bishop or Bridgeport to Fernley). A little longer if you do I5, but it seems l...

Thanks, that's great. I'm here at work, wish I could turn it UP!

If on the off chance he's not a narc - I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt - this seems like a GREAT opportunity for the BLM to score an airplane - and for a pilot to lose his license for good.

Say, Daniel - what's your N-number?

I have a friend who still thanks me for a belly massage I gave her in 2006 when she was all clogged up. Slow, gentle, clockwise. Gives new meaning to "happy ending massage".

More than once? How did you reattach them in the mean time?

It's easier, more effective, and a lot more expensive (i.e. more likely for the severely annoyed neighbor) to go after the generator.

I think you should create a pedal-powered white Ford Bronco, paint "Free OJ" on the sides, and drive through the city, with people dressed as police officers chasing you and handing it out.

(I'm just trying to figure out how to work in "if the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit.")

What if the motorhome breaks down, and gets there a day or two after you do? Of course your neighbors might help, but it's great to be radically self-reliant!

Flying near the man or over the city is strongly discouraged.

Bring a camelback or other easily totable water container. Add electrolyte powder. And keep drinking it, no matter what else you're drinking, even at night.
