Reno,
Destination of playa trash.

It was cool checking out the cam all week. Thanks. But WTF was up with the ringing telephone during the burncast, That was LAME!

My top 3. 1. 2000, the first year of the new generation pedestals under the man. I was out with my Luminator on Sunday night before the event start. The neon was not up and lit yet, so I had the man to myself to light. After a couple of hours of projecting some pretty cool colors & patterns on the m...

No thanks,
In both cases the "sex' is soooo boring. Duh

Don't you know? It's not going to end, just going on the road. They will be holding it in stadiums all over the world, rock concert style.

For all those who say:
He was just making a statement, leave him alone(or don't involve the law), You would be asking for LEO's and justice if someone walked into your camp and torched your vehicle or shot you in the "name of art". Burning man doesn't happen in a vaccum.

Wow, what a bunch of narrow-mindedness. I'll bet your family is so proud. Afterall your grandparents, or whomever it was, never got off a boat with gleam in their eyes for the new beginings they were facing, right? All of us come from somewhere, so embrace your heritage in this theme. Nobody said it...

'96 was our first burn, so it holds some cool memories. My honey had a problem with contacts and didn't bring her glasses, so the chaos of the unorganized BRC and being in a new place with a person who could barely find her way around was insane. I still like to look at the pics of that chaotic camp...

There used to be an Art Car parade and a DPW parade, and a processional from center camp to the burn, but I don't know if this is still happening though? Make your own parade for burners who always wanted a parade but were not invited to the others. The parade of Misfit Burners?

Freeze as much of your drinks as you can. 32 oz gatorade bottles will last all week. They are contained ice, and as they start to melt you drink them, icy cold and refreshing. And also bottled water. As you travel the city you have cool refreshing drinks, keep them in an insulated carier to extend t...

Todd Rundgren has been to BM more than once. In 2001 he was at the Tiki camp and played on a little stage in the camp. It was absolutely unreal, seeing my all time fav perform at BM. Then to top it all off him, his wife & kid hung out with us on our Playa vehicle, the Luminator during the burn, his ...

We went from '96 to '04, 8 years in a row. This will be the 3rd missed time. Living in Reno is hard, cause you see all the burners on the freeway everyday, so I'm living through them. The kids will be old enough to stay with grandma in a few years, I can't wait to get back. I'll be burning on Sat as...

I guess its just something in human nature or something to loose your mind when your gawking at something. I am in entertainment production(lighting director) and see this shit all the time. I was doing an (uugghh) corp. event opening a new high priced golf resort and going from hole to hole with a ...

Being from Reno and attending 8 burns I have to say there's alot of local yahoos who make up this weekender fuckwit population, I knew several who have abused all kinds of stuff, from shooting fireworks to bragging because they sneaked in afterwards. I think the only thing that will work is to start...

Look folks, the geometry is pretty simple. The closer you are, the more your going to see if your lower(therefore more angle) of what your looking at. Since the burn happens on a fixed plane and above, you have 3 options. If your on the ground then viewing from a low angle is better, if your above t...

It's a small little animated presentation that loads after the test chart. I got the same thing on my computer at first, but then later it loaded ok, so I don't know if it's a plugin thing or what? Good luck!

Ok, now that your back from your little "trip" in the desert, some of you may want to brush up on your forum decorum. Try here: http://www.trials-shack.co.uk/posting.html

You know who you are!

Um, I never went anywhere....duhhh

This is the first time we haven't gone since "96. 8 years in a row, but lucky 9 wasn't meant to be. It's almost kind of harder being here in Reno. I drive alot in my job as a Lighting Director for a Reno production Co. and was on I-80 alot this week and saw so many burners heading to the playa, they...

Well the answer seems obvious here RingO'Fire, you must create the "Icy Hot Balls and other Parts Themecamp" and offer this service to the fine citizens of BRC. I'm quite sure that each time you get a willing participant your lingering pain will subside just a little more!

My wife and I have been for 8 years, married 5 of them. You guys are worried about the wrong things. The friends and relationships thing will take care of itself, life on the playa is like life off the playa when it comes to human nature, full of the ups and downs,you'll still be you and so will you...

Flying a flag from some other place is breaking the ONLY rule of Burning Man--participate! Create something new. Our city is polluted with things imported from other places; objects, clothing, attitudes. If you think Burning Man is just a festival like the Love Festival or Redding, then maybe you s...

Now come on here folks,just because someone has a different opinion, doesn't mean that it has to invalidate yours, so chill. Not that I have to defend a position that hasn't really been logically assaulted, but here goes anyhow. Where did you get the notion that I "hate" BM. I never said that now di...

Why all the defensiveness? Can't somebody offer a different opinion without you dismissing it as worthless because it differs(negative vs. positive) from yours. BM is not a viable event for many who have attended in the past for many reasons. I have been 8 years in a row, and will not be back anytim...

2 questions.
Why mobile( why can't the folks come to you?)
What art?(a decorated spa problably won't cut it)

The DMV has said they will be very strick next year on what passes as mobile art.

good luck!

Sorry, the social services argument is lame. What, you gonna stay in camp and keep to yourself because you can't get a ride. Please. My best arguments are they promote passivity, sitting on your ass and basically doing nothing as the city rolls by, and they are usually way beyond lacking in the crea...

The hatted one alone comes up with the theme. It's his pet project. Chances are it's already been determined, he's a thinking man you know.

I have operated a mobile art vehicle for the past 3 years. The "Luminator" in '01, the "Playa Serpent" in '02 and the "Crosstika" this year, lighting up the Rev Billy performances each night. One thing no one has mentioned is how the BLM feels about the Art Cars. I was told upon regestering this yea...
