Hey,
I think I should be made an honorary member... Stagger is my playa name !!! I'll have to find you all this coming year and stop by for a visit !!

Stagger

Been so long since I had sex on the playa, I can't remember who gets tied up !!!

huh I'm 53, and the thought of finding a 50+ camp never crossed my mind... I mean.. I realize that sometimes people don't get my references, but then sometimes other than just feeling old I have a ball explaining the reference. The wonder in the young one's eyes when they look at me and thing, "What...

Grin...
If lots of people are asking directions to Poly Paradise.. it's probably for the Human Carcas Was... which isn't swinging either. More of a water sport :lol:

Okay... wait... Just looked at that and realized it sounded like you might not be welcome (with the just keep looking thing at the end)... No No No.. I didn't mean that. The best way to experience Burning Man is to find a camp that meets your needs. We are very welcoming.. Feel free to explore us an...

Hey there, Though PolyParadise is a sex positive, extremely liberal, quite sexually open camp... it's not exactly a swinger camp. Now really... I don't want to get into one of those discussions about what is and is not poly. They bore the hell out of me because the way I see poly is the way I see lo...

p.s. If you want to tell them what you think, look for my art project on the playa next year.... it will be entitled WE THE PEOPLE SAY... and will let you speak your mind to the every single elected federal employee at the same time... (I think it will be a hoot) Webpage up by the same name in the n...

All individual taxpayers (no corporate entites) shall be allowed to designate where 20% of their taxes are to be spent by government department or program.

Which means we get to vote with our dollars as well as our votes.

All laws passed by Congress will have an automatic expiration date of 20 years. Any law not re-instated after the expiration date will be removed from the books.

This means they will have to review their work once in a while.

Yes, American Institutions have done horrible things.... ... so turn that into art... Day 1: Dress up as Native Americans... walk out onto the playa.. have white men slaughter you... then wrap a rope around the dead and call it a reservation. Open a casino. Day 2: Dress up as slaves. walk out on the...

Actually, if you gift them some things, they WILL wear them. I made up special buttons just for LEO's one year and passed them out. Later I saw them wandering through Center Camp with them on. Perhaps, if you designed something that would go with the uniform.. like a sash or something.. we could dec...

So.. no specific authors, novels, journals, histories... etc... Well.. come up with K and you have a bunch of literature genres... I'd love the idea of a literature theme... Huge sculptures made of books all flaming at the end of the week... oh.. er.. Maybe just made of various presidential diaries....

I look at a flag and I think about my Dad... what he went through growing up, and serving in 2 wars (WWII and Korea). Regardless of whether you thought the wars were good or bad; from his point of view he was just out to take care of his men... trying to make sure that everyone got out alive in the ...

If they ever do a literary theme it could be something like “Great Thoughtsâ€

Glad to hear it, kitten. Can't wait to go dancing at one of your fund raisers again.

Well.. not as good, but short and sweet.... One score and One years ago Larry Harvey brought forth on this continent, a new event, conceived in Chaos, and dedicated to the proposition that all people should be radically self-expressive. Now we are engaged in a great email flame-war, testing whether ...

In all the talk about how it was either a safe thing to do, or not a safe thing to do, I have to wonder one thing. Did Paul Addis, prior to setting fire to the Man, test the flamability characteristics of the material that made up the pavilion. Did he know in advance that the material would not inst...

Fantastic. Now write it on parchment and nail it up in Center Camp... oh.. wait.. That would be Martin Luther.. never mind.

The Playa is nice in June. Just don't camp next to the lake.. it can move with the wind, and you can end up in the middle of it while sleeping. Here's what it looks like in June... http://www.stagger.net/brd2006/index.htm Oh.. and it's completely alive. No biting insects, but everything else that ca...

Well, it’s possible that Addis will not be convicted of arson. Under federal law…

(B) the term “arsonâ€

A gay vibe... hum... I've worked the HCW every year I've been to BM. The various vibes I've encountered while doing so are.... Humor: I've seen many people come up.. think this is the funniest thing they have ever seen; jump right in; and pretty much laugh their way through the whole experience. I l...

To say that the playa is devoid of life is somewhat inaccurate. It depends on what you count as life, and when you are out there. I wanted to check out the playa when it was devoid of humans, so I went out about 10 weeks before Burning Man 2006. There was a lake on the playa. With algae. And, with e...

There are gay people at Burning Man?

They may be well equipped ... but I really doubt they have the machine that goes "PING" out there.

I earned my nick name from the way I came back to camp. In the default world I hardly ever drink. People who have known me for years haven't seen me take a drink. But on the playa, I enjoy drinking to amazing excess. But I must also be pretty lucky in that I don't wake up hung over. I've never been ...

I have 2 old Pentax 35mm cameras I take to the Playa to make time exposures. (One I've had since High School in the 60's and one I bought a year ago as a backup for $35) Put a different kind of film in each of them. Set em up on tripods. Open the shutter and let the playa drive by. Some of them turn...

I went out to the playa last year a couple of months before the event. I wanted to see what the playa looked like without 30,000. If you can make this trip... trust me, it's well worth it. So driving up the playa I found an exit off the playa that lead to a long dirt road that wound through the hill...

Sometimes the best bits are art are just ... the things that strike you at the time. I don't remember the year, but I remember the peice. Someone had ridden way out to the trash fence... not to the corner where stuff and people tend to gather... just in the middle of nowhere. To the fence they affix...

I never used to carry an ID with me at Burning Man. Then again I'm so old no one would think of carding me. But, perhaps you can tell by the name, I do drink there. So my best friend, HypnoBurn, gave me an ID that I now carry around with me at night. He engraved my name, STAGGER, on a Flask that I k...

There are the early early people...

And then there are the early early early people.....

I wanted to see what the playa looks like empty.

Trust me... it's worth a visit when you are the only one out there...
