You know I've always resisted RV's and trailers, but I've altered my view now that I have a free place to put a trailer. There are alot of outfitted & gutted "travel trailers" & aerostreams on Craigslist. "Toy haulers" & "Toy trailers" are more rare but even better because the back wall folds down i...

My 2 cents: I think virgins have enough to do without creating their own large shade. Plenty of neighbors make large shade areas, just make a small shade area. For Austin, Texas fly in camping, I was able to fit a small tent & a large tent shell to cover it in a check-in duffle. You can also purchas...

Buying a bike rack on Craigslist is probably cheaper than renting one. Plus cleaning & cleaning fees are a bitch. They will never be happy. I did have to find a cable lock that would go through the bumper & interlock with the other bike locks - but those are usefull once on the playa anyway. The loc...

My placement process pre-playa & on site: 1) Find where my friends are or other things I might want to be near. 2) Pick a 3 block area on the map & see where the sun, north / south is. 3) Get a general plan before getting to the playa that includes how much street frontage and shade according to how...

Looking for a P/T female 1 week a year durning Burning Man.

"Time to roll another Burning Man"

Really?

I need a hot shower now for my brain.

The ORG wants folks to create ART, . . . charge people to see it by purchasing a ticket, which directly lines the pockets of the Corp, after expenses of course... *Are* tickets specifically a charge to see art? Or is that an extreme simplification? or exaggeration? Would Burning Man exist without l...

Radiohead, plays an un-announced, perhaps improvised show out there. . . . A few months later the band decides to release a soundboard recording as an official live album. The experience is unchanged yet they are making real world dollars off it. . . . . I'm just generally curious to know if this w...

So the issue is the hijacked photos. It's a tad rude on the part of the photographer or Lexus if they knowingly used the photo without permission. We don't really need to defend ourselves against the idea that "Burning Man sold out." because that's people who've never been or are just trash talkin' ...

how do you see & do even a quarter of it?

i ran, dance & ride all over trying to see every corner for 7-9 days and i still see pictures of large structures & happenings that i missed entirely.

welcome! I understand the urge to be in an area of people with similar interests & yet in my own selfish way I love the rainbow of people (excuse the pun) that are my neighbors. I love that all the mad max, hippy, gay, raver, hillbilly, hipster, eurotrash, suburbanite mommies, swingers (oh sorry, po...

Yeah, I know!

Those damn ravers just don't get it.

Its funny how much cooler & clued in the rockers, punks, yuppies, goth kids, emos, and industry types are.

Fucking ravers.

Ruin everything.

How about not even higher tickets prices - how about just being rude & arrogant enough to leave large amounts of trash? Expecting others to clean up (even if you could charge for it) is just rude.

At least they plan on the burn clean up.

Didn't you manage to take out your own trash?

Thanks Bob!

I don't think I could have held my breath any longer!

I don't recall this sort of reaction to "Lisa the Treehugger" ( The Simpsons , Season 12). I know you're just being cute & trying to make me crush on you more - But lets say that few people that heard the Simpson's environmental activists say "You'll have to miss Burning Man" are subjectively less ...

Mr. Slave - <returning swoon> Radical inclusivity - I'm with you. Maybe my personal sore point is I wish I had more energy to give this problem (other than small actions I can take as I see them on the playa). Its early but I've already picked my major project for next year - yahoo education isn't i...

I contend that people who love the event have the potential to do it more harm then a few thoughtless comments thrown out by a starlet. I disagree. Granted I've been suffering for allergies since last night & am generally disgruntled & exhausted at the moment. I'm getting less annoyed through the p...

Not to worry he fired it off Saturday & repaired it for Sunday as well.
He's not only genius - he's mcguyver-y.

Look at the bright side: If Heather what's-her-name trashes the event on national TV, great - maybe it'll deter undesirables from going. I wish I cared as little as you do. Unfortunately saying nothing would have been ideal, but talking about it as a party place where a person like Heather Graham m...

Hmmm. Seems to be replaying at 2am. MMMmmm Tivo.

People couldn't even be bothered to walk 10 feet and throw their water bottle in the trash can.. . . . coachella just made me sick to my stomach. I had forgotten how fucking lazy people can be. I'm partially with you on this. The trash at Coachella is my major problem with it. The real problem at C...

To make it clear - The Burning Man art at Coachella is curated/organized by a Burning Man artist. The promoter who is hired by Coachella to bring art has been to Burning Man over a number of years. They started with an almost nothing budget to bring art. Seeing the response to the art, Coachella org...

I like that Coachella has set aside more & more money each year to bring out Burning Man art but that is for mostly selfish reasons. I like seeing all those Burning Man people & they get to have their own mini Burning Man while having some if not all their expenses covered. The Burning Man artists a...
