Volunteering is fun and rewarding.

I'd love a year of NO stadium level sound camps/cars, which I believe would dramatically reduce the one-time bucket list tourists' interest.

Never happen, though.

Volunteering is fun and rewarding; get down in the dust with the people who DO.

Hi, rongo.

I'm a theatre/music/improv person.

I have many playa commitments and a camp already, but I'm curious about your project.

Mostly, I'm confused about the 'script', since improv uses only prompts.

Can you tell us a bit more about your idea?

Good luck with that.

Seriously .

Your mistake was going to Dancetronauts. They feed their DJs with the lost souls of trippers. Sorry, dude, it's all over for you.

Hello, and welcome. First: Seattle has a huge burner community; find them and get involved. Second: All of your questions have likely been answered right here on eplaya. The internal search function sucks, but if you use google+eplaya+keyword, you'll find a wealth of information (and some snark). Th...

I would suggest not going in the book. 'Advertising' in the local 'hood, letting your neighbors know the plan, maybe lit sandwich boards (get it?) at the nearby intersections/portos, and naming your camp MIDNIGHT QUESADILLA (or whatever) should bring in the desired crowds. Midnight/late night food i...

I stopped going nude in 2001. The 'bros' were obnoxious. :twisted: I do go topless, but am prepared/called upon to educate on a regular basis (so much emotional work, I'm an 'A cup' 8) ). If we could just ban the damn cameraphones 'in public' (not gonna happen, I know), it would be a MUCH better pla...

I'll send you a PM.

Those fellas are friends of mine.

I think it is highly unlikely that you will find anywhere to take a bath in Black Rock City.

(maybe a steam bath, if you really hunt for it)

Ah, Tiahaar, so lovely to see you checking in ...

Wew are NOT a subcommunity, bro.

We are META.

Or *not.*

Look for Cocoons; huge selection of high-quality fitovers. They're pricey, so I waited for a sale!
I get the 'old lady' type with a 'roof' and wraparound earpieces; I find they do a lovely job keeping out the dust.

Over-the-glasses sunglasses/goggles arrived today!

Yeah, burning man is not the Utopia you long for.

It will be challenging, enlightening, opening, dusty, HARD (not in the good way), and wonderful.

Or not.

Expectations can be difficult, newbie.

Open to THAT WHICH IS, that *which is not* can also be valuable.

They don't BAN drones, they restrict use and register a limited number of (responsible/educated/compliant?) machine users. Pre-playa-control, a drone entered our personal camp livingroom and flew about, presumably taking video footage; had someone decided to disable that drone, would they have been ...

Don't put it in the portos!

Intergalactic towel.
Sarong.
Keffiyah.

Wash and air dry.

This thunderstorm is awesome. I will make it at the end, also.
On it !

Details to come (learn a harmony part).

Truth. Since '99 and still going strong.

TPBM wants to ride an MV in the desert and hasn't figured out how to do so.

Heads up: deleting one of a copied pair deletes both messages.

Can you bring the spouse?

If one hangs in the back 'hoods, one can capture the 'old school man'.

Gigsville is alive and well.

I'll send you mine, Elliot.

The complete WWW is available online (not just the 1500 or so events that make the book) in advance and it is searchable.
(Not that you have any time to spare before the burn , just sharing info)

Thigh cuffs.

Happy Yule, eplaya denizens.

May your days be merry and bright, falalalala.

Actual yummy food is SO GOOD in the desert.

When it rains, barefoot is the way to go (squish!).

I think that rubber boots would be sweaty to wear and then would disintegrate from the alkali.

Define 'them'.

Photos or it didn't happen.

GreyCoyote would speak thus, if he were here

I'm always happy when burn art finds its place(s) post event.

Mmmm.

I think Gigsville may be too old school for the fancy people.
