Many thanks to Trilo for running clean up!

Yay! I'm no longer blacklisted! (I've never been blacklisted before ...)
Happy holidays, eplaya; Bushmill's on me!

I think it's nice that there's a thread where wackadoodle can just talk to themselves.

How could anyone possibly *know* what the wackadoodle *knows* if they never post anything of substance?

Someone finds a phone in deep playa. They pick it up, with every intention of taking it to L&F on-playa. They drop it in their pocket/camelbak/backpack. Shiny mastodons happen. Maybe a flaming octopus. MOOP picked up, forgotten. Ten months later, when prepping for their next burn, they find the phon...

Is there any way to get the crazy one out of here?

Post in the Reddit Burning Man; they are remarkably helpful in finding Lost Humans.

Yeah, Reddit posts are more interesting.

The items already up on the portal were turned into L&F on the playa; they were catalogued there.

The (small) L&F team in SF just returned from the playa in the last few days, they are probably sleeping and eating good food and taking lots of showers right now.

Patience, grasshopper.

Find a decompression or regional local(ish) to you.

Maybe talk to Northwest Mist. They seem to have it mastered.

My opinion is that there are a lot of campers riding e-bikes that are inexperienced with them (looking at you, PnP camps, but that's a different discussion).

An e-bike is a powered vehicle with a learning curve; would you put someone on a dirt bike with no training? Same thing.

I think when the L*F board(s) were set up this year, they were separated into two categories (Lost on Playa & Found on play) that the old L&F board/block doesn't recognize.

I'm with you, I don't need to see all of these posts.

This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

If people only go for a few days (weekend warriors), they are not contributing to the event, which is crucial to the experience. It takes at least 2 days to acclimate to the playa; altitude, dust, heat, dryness. It generally takes one day to set up one's camp, then another day to strike that camp. I...

No. Once a ticket has been scanned, it cannot be used by someone else.

You, HarryN, seem to want to change things, without having ever been to the playa.

I would suggest that you attend the event first, before making sweeping assumptions around bettering the process.

First, one should plan enough supplies for the duration. There is an in&out wristband ($20?) at exit, and one will need both your ticket 'stub' and wristband for reentry. It is at least a six hour round trip to Reno, plus road conditions and gate line. This is a wasted day. Once a ticket has been sc...

The original purchaser of the ticket paid X amount of dollars. If they're selling, they are trying to recoup their money. Why would they give anyone a discount just because they're doing a weekender?

Comfort and Joy (bless them) takes donations post playa that they distribute to the local indigenous population. Look for the Huge pink and orange flags (I think at Nixon?).

We generate no grey water. Spray bottle kitchen with paper towels. 'shower' with mister and spray bottles on a towel in a bin, hang towel to dry. Yes, the towel gets gross, but one deals with that at home.

DJs are not musicians, unless they actually play something besides a computer.

Fight me.

Maybe check with Black Rock French Quarter? The crepes would fit right in.

Careful on that one wheel; I have seen many bad spills and (at least) one broken arm.

Keep in mind that you are going to need to dust your solar panels off regularly.

In the Who/What/When/Where guide that is in a book given out at the Greeters and also posted online.

They've changed it up this year.

I think it is 16 lb bags and 7 lb blocks.

I'm not sure though.

Bueller?

Also, get a sturdy cooler with wheels for the transport.

I'm past childbirth, but I'm still going to hide in my house, with guns, for the duration.
I will go to the dog park, and the voting place.

I used to be fun.

Thanks for the mention, Ygmir! I'm not headed to the dust this year, we're exploring local(ish) Regionals with the rednecks (I say that fondly). I was, however, contacted by a woman in the spring who was interested in Singing for ScaredyCats; we had a ZOOM meeting and I have passed the mantle to her...

If you go the aluminet route, get 3 or 4 large pool noodles to put between the net and the roof.

Hey, Bar denizens!

Ygmir, that is one gorgeous floor! Well done!

AntiM, congrats on the Great Circle. I spun in there once, many years ago, and the energy was INTENSE!!!
