At your earliest convenience, please delete my account and all of my posts. I no longer wish to have anything to do with this forum or with Burning Man.

Thank you.

I looked at it. That's sponsored by the city of Chicago/Chicago Parks No, AntiM, it's not. The Chicago Full Moon Fire Jam is held in one of the parks (Lincon Park) in the city of Chicago, but it is not held by the city of Chicago or the Chicago Park District. It is an event held mostly by burners t...

Holy ... that is policy! So this is one of those times. Starting in 2015, handheld lasers will be prohibited in Black Rock City. Mounted lasers are only permitted on art pieces, Mutant Vehicles and in theme camps if they comply with specific restrictions. Forget that. I have NO desire to go to Burni...

Doesn't really address the issue, if the blinding was done by a vehicle mounted laser, now does it, Traveller? Oh, and ... what? Seriously, you're defending the idea of vehicle mounted lasers? I've been working under the assumption that like those Satanic human sacrifices, the vehicle mounted lasers...

Just thought I'd throw this out. I posted a notice for the Chicago Full Moon Fire Jam on the Off-Playa Meetups board https://eplaya.burningman.org/viewforum.php?f=26 which Trilobyte gives us a link to in this post https://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic.php?f=470&t=79622 I posted that notice where I...

I saw this and found it to be disturbing reading. Be forewarned - this is an annoyingly designed page, loaded down so heavily with ads and assorted crap that it could crash your browser. https://www.salon.com/2018/08/24/exclusive-burning-man-a-utopia-for-guests-can-be-a-hell-for-many-workers/ How mu...

Non of all worked, I am in though

Ah! Good.

What kind of exotic characters do I need to supply for a password in the 2life? Hi, Traveller in Time. Sorry that you were running into frustration. Incorporating some punctation helps, as does randomizing the choice of characters. Grab a book, stick your finger down without looking, and see which ...

Most people don't own boats of houseboats, and renting them, including transport, would be very expensive. I love the idea, but it would not be financially feasible for many. Maybe, maybe not. An actual houseboat, which is expected to be functional for years, would be extremely pricey, but a tempor...

Fuck no, this fucking thread is too fucking good. Another page asn we will all have fucking moved on to the next fucking thing.

I suppose. Sorry about your husband.

Fucking sucks that happened to him.

I have a crawler/loader/backhoe endearingly named Big Daddy Crawler. Specifically, it's a 1976 JD 350-C, for any gearheads that care. I am thinking of turning it into a mutant vehicle next year. DMV does allow tracked vehicles. My only concern is my grousers (the pads on the tracks), as they are sl...

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 Haterade is a much underrated beverage. Take three average sized haters, crush and strain...

https://cdn.theatlantic.com/assets/media/img/photo/2017/09/photos-from-burning-man-2017/b01_RTX3EIK8/main_1500.jpg I saw this in " Photos From Burning Man 2017 ," a piece on the Atlantic website. Was this the temple, that year? The article has some nice eye candy, but it doesn't tell us much about ...

The concept of this thread is simple. Find a photo (or photos) of art installations at Burning Man that weren't taken by you or anybody you know, of art that neither you nor anybody you know created, and share them here. Mention the name of the installation and the year in which it appeared on the P...

The only thing I'm complaining about is the fact that there is such a fucking thing as cancer. Nothing wrong with the moderation you did in this thread, AntiM. Just with the way the Universe works. Maybe with the fact that there isn't enough fucking funding for cancer research. Maybe better to start...

Yes, cancer fucking sucks.

Fuck. I can see why this fucking thread came to a fucking stop after that. Hard to tell a fucking joke with the fucking memories that fucking word brings up for probably every fucking person, alive.

I picture you standing with your arms crossed defiantly across your chest and your chin jutting. Not really. For the most part, in person, I try to fade into the background. As I am well over six feet in height, the effect of this is mildly comical, I'm told. A strong and yet distant look in your e...

My intended username had been "That's Nice" but the punctuation needed for that was not allowed. You could have done "Thats Nice". It would have been just fine. I wouldn't have liked that. I know that confusing the possessive with the plural seems to be an Internet tradition, but I'd rather not man...

"has burning man *actually* gotten worse?" It totally has. A friend of mine who was at the burn this year said that right when they got to the point at which the camp was going to ritually sacrifice one of the virgins, they got stopped because of some "homicide" ordinance. The LEOs are totally out o...

Not a launch, yet. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/17/science/spacex-moon-tourism-passenger.html ^ (Trigger warning: there are ads on this site) "Elon Musk on Monday evening introduced Yusaku Maezawa, founder of the online Japanese clothing company Zozo, as his first customer for a voyage around the...

The chat was off for the stream, keeping us from saying things like "Run, Forrest, run!" (which maybe was the idea). I haven't seen the whole thing, yet, as I did get distracted while watching this all happen live, but I could have sworn I hard Elon Musk talking about what the proper procedure for l...

Liking the fact that your camp name is a reference to the Czech writer Karel Čapek. If you're interested, tell us a bit about yourselves! Is there anything you'd like to add to our camp? How about a tank full of newts? Though I'm not sure that everybody would get the joke. Moot point, because I won'...

I'm going to give you a link to an unlisted video on the SpaceX channel on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zu7WJD8vpAQ If you're going to watch this, skip to 28:46, because all that you're going to see before that is photos with music playing in the background and some shots of the crowd wa...

I like cheese.

Oh! This is not fair. I can't say "no" to a dog.

I've got some cheddar for you to eat and some limburger for you to roll in.

welcome!
I glean from your post, you are a master at baiting people into conversation.

You're saying that I'm a master baiter?

I suppose I would have to be. It gets lonely in the Midwest.

And remember, always look on the bright side of life.

Why not?

My intended username had been "That's Nice" but the punctuation needed for that was not allowed. "That is nice" is as close as I could get. "That's nice" is something I'm fond of saying to people are looking for a fight. Usually, I accompany it with a bland smile. They might want drama, but I'm not ...
