The official Burning Man webcam wasn't bad (when it was working) the last couple of years and it was fun to hear blackrock radio and confused people trying to find each other by walkie-talkie as an audio feed. Does anyone know if it is returning this year or if any other camps will be webcasting? I ...

"Hey, don't piss on my truck and don't tell me which drugs to take!"


"Leave him alone. He knows what he's doing."


"Would I look like this if I was a cop?"

OKay Then But YOu have all been Fore Warned!! FUCK On THE GROUND sleep On the Air Mattress LOL soooooo when your sleeping on the cold hard playa- OR fucked up and want to get into bed but your trying to figure out how to use the damm pump - never to be found or figured out Soo ya just pass out on t...

If you are lucky, the change in attitude may cause your mind to explode.

I think a few megaphones with fresh batteries could make a world of difference in disrupting the pavillion. Especially if the megaphones are modified with robot or alien voices and lots of feedback.

I'm very happy to know you guys are returning to the Playa I was part of the Pinky's crew (R.I.P.) and I have very fond memories of you guys pulling up next to the prim patty on a flatbed truck, and pushing our party over the top. Thanks for returning!!

MKSnowboarder: Everything you need to outfit your trip is in Rneo, but if you can, I'd give it more than just a few hours. It can be nerve wracking because the city is entirely full of burners all buying the same stuff you are. It's pretty fun, too, though, for the very same reason. I second that. ...

That's a new one to me. Sheesh, one more thing to be preventative about. I never used a camel back, just lots (and lots) of water from a water bottle. Recreational drugs also seem to help. It sounds like you know what's causing the condition though. Sorry I don't have anything helpful to say. I just...

On another note. Where could I find other rvers that are going maybe to hook up with on the way in?? I guess I'm just a little nervous being a first timer and not really knowing anyone. You should have no trouble finding many. Wait til it gets dark and the rve clubs should be easy to find. The bigg...

I've camped in RVs, Cargo Vans, and tents at Burning Man and actually enjoyed the tent the most (hough I've never been rained on at BM). My advice is find out where the sun rises and pitch your tent against the back side of an RV that will block the morning sun. As long as there aren't generators ne...

Honestly, not enough - yet. I'm still figuring out how to come up with the right leds in the right configuration, on the right costume.

It always seems to be dudes who are out to promote sex camps. If you are open to the possibilities and tilt your karma the right way, ANY camp can be sex camp. (Carrying around some extra E for making new friends helps too!)

I'm part of the Pinky's camp and we haven't built thr bar for a couple of years now. It grew bigger and bigger until it hit breaking point. I don't speak for Pinky (who cringes at being called any kind of leade or spokesman himself), but I think it just got too expensive and complicated. All it take...

Cry, feel sorry for myself, sleep in, and shower.

Where are they this year? I won't be able to go to BM this time around and I'd love to get some voyeuristic peeks as things unfold. I had to miss 2 years ago as well and there was an "official" webcam running high above center camp. It even had audio that varied between Burning Man radio and the wal...

I think you need to spice it up a little. Maybe Skip-Bo-Ner camp? It expands your options.

Webdaemon seems to be pretty centered, intelligent, and articulate, but I think for a lot of kids going through all their major emotional, physical, and psychological changes, it could be intense. I noticed that at a lot of nude beaches in Europe I would see naked kids and naked women, but very rare...

Devo - Duty Now for the Future

It's an album, not a song, but it's a really good album.





-The future ain't what it used to be.

A month would kill me. I can take a week of weed, X, shrooms, drink, tons of bike riding, precious little deep sleep, sporadic eating, funky portapotties, delicious sexual strangeness, heat, cold, dust, and wind, but a MONTH?! I guess there are many worse ways to die...

Good ideas. I could only come up with suture. Maybe a surgical theme?

The future isn't what it used to be.

We can't vote or Autopia?

Let's not lose our focus on what really fuels the magic. And for our gay (or adventurous hetero) community: Soap and Rear. And for the pervy old men with cameras: Poke and Lear. For the cynical "It's not like the old days, Burning Man sucks now" crowd: Mope and Jeer. Now, what the hell rhymes with f...

I have a few theme ideas. One is CHILD'S PLAY and would allow people to play up childhood regression fantasies, do lots of toy related things. Imagine a giant jungle gym or tinker toy construction out on the playa. My other theme idea was MASSAGE. Maybe we wouldn't get the best art, but we could all...

We couldn't go last year because we had a new baby, but there was a webcam setup by the Burning Man people. It was mounted somewhere outside and above center camp. You could see center camp, some vehicles and people, and the man way off in the distance. It was on almost 24/7 and whoever was taking c...

Good tips, but what is 5htp?

It's used to help recuperate from taking ecstasy faster.

As I look all over this website, peruse the mailings, and pour over the Jack Rabbit Speaks emails, I've noticed no word from Larry. I'm sure he's kinda busy right now, but he's the closest thing to a "leader" (read that loosely) or figurehead that BM has. I've never met him or heard him speak, but I...

Make a checklist. Simple but effective. Start it a couple weeks ago and keep adding to it. Make categories; camping gear, food, costumes, etc.

What makes me uneasy is all this talk of rain!

I don't think the "Who-What-Where-When" guide is really that unreliable. A lot of once or twice scheduled events/classes/shows, etc. have been a long time in preparation. I don't think people would so casually delay or reschedule if they could help it. I don't remember too many disappointments the t...

I'd recommend Sirius over XM, mainly because my wife and I are buying stock in it. Thanks for the support! :D There's another thread about Playa radio stations somewhere and I really recommend them over anything. There's still a lot of confusion (at least in me) about whether or not the fcc will now...

I'm surprised no one mentioned drugs yet. IF that's your thing (and for a lot of people at Burning Man it is), don't assume you'll easily score mushrooms, ecstasy, or acid on the playa. Hallucinagens are in hot demand in Black Rock City and there ARE undercover cops around. I'm not speaking so much ...
