I am going to try and speak my thing through answering one post... 1) Do you concider BM an experiment in anarchy? Since it exists within a non-anarchic society it can't be. Does it strip away a lot of the useless laws and mores we fetter ourselves with? Absolutely. Call it as much anarchy as we can...

Eh? Holland isn't the best either! Privacy infringements are ten times worst than whats going on over on your side of the ocean.

Hello! Its been some time since I visited ePlaya. I've changed a lot in the ways of my perception regarding the democratic world. You could say I neigh towards anarchism right now, though still not completely. Anyways, I would like you to answer a few questions in your own honest opinion. They are b...

Hi there! Its been a while since I posted here. But since I'm from Holland and am currently brainstorming a project for next year I have a few questions that I can't answer with the search. Most of them are related to the fact I do have the knowledge to build the stuff, but not the US names and regu...

Oh, right. That was one way, yeah So 6000 miles total. Still had a blast though

I believe I traveled about 3,500 miles to get to Burningman last year, by myself. And I had a blast. I would advise finding another group or going alone also.

Like the title says, we SO need this on the playa this year

Binders are great for stenciling (making a standard message you can spraypaint all over town). At least, I take it you mean these?

You brought me home! Most of the longer BM vid's on the net are about camp life and people waving at the camera. You really filtered out whats so amazing about this event, all the different sights and beautiful people. It is well cut aswell! Thank you!

My camp, DeMaTerial used to do this (perhaps even when it was Dematerialiasation (sp?)). We've switched over to other projects though. Ow! And there is the fact that BM takes about 2 containers full of bikes out of the desert each year, maybe drop them an email. OR! You could strap your kit onto you...

There is a first time for everything....

I found that while I am an avid firespinner, and normaly I am completely addicted to staff, poi, sword and firebreathing I only lit up twice while at Burningman. And both times me and my campmates really had to push eachother to get our shit out of the bags. There's just so much other things to do a...

06 was my first year and I enjoyed every minute I spend on the playa

This year some russians made a big art-car that sucked up dust from the playa and ejected it behind them, giving them a dusttrail to fear and love.

The most effective way of changing others' behavior is changing your own.

Life's journey is not about ariving at the grave all neat and well-preserved, but rather to skid in sideways, totaly worn out, shouting "Holy FUCK, what a ride!"

I saw a guy on a surfboard when comming out of one of this years' haviest whiteouts (wednesday? thursday?). Albeit he looked magnificent on his brightcolored surfboard with his 30ft. tail, it did seem kind of dangerous to be surfing around after such a hefty storm.

Yeah, my mistake. I think it was about 2 in the morning when I posted that.... Also, that website is made by the guy that made them rollerskates. Thats why I posted it.

Tim Anderson (the creator) is part of a group of people called Squidlabs, I stayed with them before moving to BM this year. Great bunch of people! I think I rode these things (or was it the frontwheel-drive, low-rider bicicle?) and I can tell you its hard to do so! Anyways, Tim's a great guy and if ...

You know what she's talking about if you've done it, and you will agree And even if you can't relate, she's cute as hell

That is fucking awesome. Want me to invite him to the playa? I'm dutch also

I got some stories. Albeit not as well writen as your own I will post them anyways. One night, I'm walking around on the playa. I'd guess its around 4ish in the morning and I've been dancing my ass off at the Opulent Temple. I arive at a small place on one of the spokes (I think it was around 3:00) ...

they're.

I think I spend a total of 1100 Euro's on my trip this year. I'm from Holland too, and ordered my ticket in november 2005. I flew from Brussels to Atlanta, Atlanta to San Fransisco. Cost me around 480 euro's I believe (massive waiting times ;)). Then around 185 dollars for the BM ticket and around 4...

Inn-sewer-ants? Whats this talk about inn-sewer-ants? Can someone explain this concept to me?

Fuck!

You made me homesick again. But its the good, reveling and warm kind of homesickness.

Thank you!

I know it was right across from the 4:30 spoke. Here it is on google maps. I have no idea who build it though, or what its name was.

I don't think you need to make something out of silver to make people love it, but since you have it already.... :mrgreen: I've worked in the licenses office at my camp DeMaTerial, and at times, when people finially got their license they would gift us with something. But not just one person, they'd...

Search youtube for Free Hugs and you find at least 20 more of these movies. Not all of them as good, but there's some real pearl's there

I especially like this one:
