I lost my TrackStick on the playa. Probably somewhere around my camp at 4:00 and Coral Reef, but it could be anywhere. The TrackStick is two shades of brown, and about the size of a Mars Bar. This was the core of my art project. It basically records your physical location on the planet, at pre-set i...

I regularly do long-distance motorcycle trips, and have been to the burn on my bike twice. With ALL my stuff. Last time was 2 years ago. I'm only coming from Seattle, but my BMW R100rs loved the trip. I just waited to pick up most of my food and water until I hit the east side of the mountains. Then...

Here is some of my camp's DJ. His name is "ismist" because he believes in ALL the "-isms"...

...and if not now, then surely later!

What is the definition of a "Village"? How does one get into a village, or find the right one to join?

I have searched for "village" on the ePlaya, but came up with a lot of bunk.

Any help?

I found the band that played Center Camp on that fateful night... The Sour Mash Hug Band!

They are a part of the 999Eyes circus.

There are even pictures of Shiri, the washtub player... wow...

Alright, SOMEBODY has to know who the freak show was that played at Center Camp. I am posting to this thread again in the hopes that as it percolates to the top of the list, someone will be able to fill me in on who this band was, and where I can see more of them!!

Thanks!

I gotta second (or is "third" more appropriate?) unjonharley's post about 3-wheelers. We had somewhere around 15 bikes in Happy Camp this year, and by far the one that got ridden the most was the 3-wheeler with a basket on the back. The basket was key to getting the 6 bags of ice we needed every mor...

Then you could have a hole in the top of your shade structure and build a platform up there. People could climb up and get a view from above! Like the Crow's Nest on a sailing ship!

My structure bit the dust this year. It's fifth year. I managed to have enough repair stuff to rebuild. Next year I'm single camping. We got stuck in clubland out at 2:00. Techno 24x7. If that happens next year I am gonna set my tent up WAY out in the boonies and go sleep out there. Hang with the c...

Gosh, unjohn... you really missed the entire point, didn't you? Never seen anyone fly so far out in left field so fast! Your skill and speed at flying off the handle is truly unmatched! If you read the rules.... Nah. Fuck it. No point in bringing myself down to your level. Have fun in your little wo...

Perhaps a water gun should be used sparingly and only for the most obvious jerks. Thoughts? The amount of water put out by a water gun will not adversely effect any camera. I have worked with pro photographers for years and years and years, and their only real concern is saturation (dropping it in ...

Found at Happy Camp (2:00 and Catharsis).

Two-tone blue(ish) backpack with a set of house keys and a mobile phone headset.

The tag on the housekeys is from an NYC locksmith. Tell me which one, and I will send your stuff back to you.

I am still recovering. I hate this one, too, because it has been one symptom at a time. One day congestion. One day sore muscles. One day grumpy. One day sneezing. One day coughing.... The cough is almost gone (last of the symptoms, I think), but boy has it been annoying. Still got that nice raspy b...

I love the conversation The Shiv and The Bass are having!!! Considerate, thoughtful discourse in an online medium?!?!? Amazing... However, I think The Bass hit on a key thing in her last post... You made the point that the Lamplighters Parade is a *parade*, and therefore they should expect to be pho...

One thing I learned was The Thursday Cooler. Put all kinds of good meat and fresh fruits and veggies into a cooler and pack it with ice. Put a block of dry ice on top. Close the cooler. Seal the top closed. Wrap the cooler in a sleeping bag or blankets, and store in the coolest place you have. On Th...

What was it about her?!? She was absolutely riveting to me.

I wish someone could tell us who they were.... anyone? ....anyone? ...Beuller?

I did not have such an advantage. However, his intent and message confused me. As I understand it, he felt isolated and uninvolved ...

Early on, our chant at Happy Camp became "Burn Dicky! Save the Man!"

All in good spirit, of course...

I think I had a psychotic episode... can anyone prove me wrong? Blinded by vodka and other stuff, I stumbled into the big tent at Center Camp late one night (or early the next morning, depending on which way you look at it). Couch cushions were flying everywhere. The place was full of psychos, and o...
