Hey folks, DJ Apollo here. Interesting reading the feedback. It would probably be helpful if folks said what time they were listening during Exodus - lots of different DJ's that day, and kn owing who was giving good info and who wasn't might be useful.. Oh, and if you don't like the music on BMIR, t...

Why are you so afraid of silence, Herpy?

My wife the lovely Blackswan and I brought our 41/2 month old Rabbit Boy out with us this year - he was on-playa for two weeks. He had a great time - we kept on the SP50 sunblock, kept him in the shade, out of the duststorms, and he had a huge fan club and loved the fireworks burn night (he had a fr...

I heard a song on BMIR, I think around 2:00 PM during exodus. The DJ referred to it as Norwegian industrial folk. Anyone know this band/ the song I'm referencing? It was beautiful and sad, with growling bass, and made my exodus. Thanks, y'all! buzhidao Dude! That was me in my incarnation as DJ Apol...

Regardless of the party, I'm distressed that the ORG has enough money to donate to campaigns at all. If they are generating so much surplus with our ticket money, it is clear that they don't need mine. It also makes me a lot less willing to buy a more expensive ticket, knowing that the surplus will...

Learn to love dried fruit. I dodn't know about its availablitiy in Reno, but organic, non-suphur dried fruit and veggies will be a lot more edible by the end of the week than fresh.

As far as I know, the Empire Store does not sell organic stuff. Good luck.

I think most burners would find this patently offensive. Is this where all that extra money is going?! Funny, I would've thought you'd be more upset on all the money the LLC wasted paying your mom to give blowjobs to the DPW. 'Cause let me tell you, after the first three hours, she could barely mov...

Hey CG, I realize that the inherent source of our disagreement is that I don't mind the presence of commerce in the cafe and you do, and most likely never the twain shall meet. That being said Kelly, Can you name another theme camp that is built by DPW? (besides the cafe?) Can you name another theme...

Hey, back on the eplaya, and of course I have to jump into the cafe debate, as run down as it may be. If they were to stop selling coffee/chai what might happen? Well, I think what might happen is that the temple might fall without the money changers. There might not be an elaborate center camp cafe...

mullahs and rabbis in Palestine/Israel. Fundos here. *sigh* I meant there, Pla/Is. I think you overestimate the roll of religion in the mainstream of this conflict. From what I've read, it sounds like religion is very important on the Israeli side - most of the settlers are hardcore fundies, and mo...

I think you forgot some major ones:

Egomaniacal Artists

Firespinners

Wannabe Carnies

Rude DPW'ers

Creepy Massage Guys

Hot Women in Incredibly Sexy Outfits Who Won't Talk To Anyone

Pyrogoths

Compulsive Huggers

So, any bets on whether the truce will be violated first by Israeli settler fanatics or Palestinian fanatics? My guess is the settlers - they have the best track record, after all. Then some trigger happy Palestinian will respond in kind, and the test will be if the governments can keep their "offic...

Apparently, thousands of voters in Ohio were so embarrassed they voted for Bush they lied about it in the exit polls... Anyway, looks like the challenge will actually happen, though it's not likely to affect the outcome. At least the fucked-up circumstances in Ohio will be brought to the spotlight, ...

And if your boy won by cheating his ass off, that's just fine with you, isn't it? 'Cause folks like you don't give a damn about fairness or justice, you just want to come out on top. Or can you actually refute any of the examples of irregularities I mentioned in the first post? Any examples, say, of...

I'm sure many people are resigned to hopelessness or beyond caring at this point, but for those who aren't: Representative John Conyers, ranking minority member of the House Judiciary Committee, will object to the counting of the Ohio Electors from the 2004 Presidential election when Congress conven...

Mr. Timothy by Louis Bayard. A novel set in the Victorian London of 1860, herein we find a grown up Timothy Cratchit, now cured except for a slight limp, living in a brothel teaching the madam to read and earning extra money on the side dredging corpses up from the Thames. Far better than it may so...

Actually heard backstage at a Rennaisance Faire:

"Scotty..Scotty, get me out of here...this isn't funny any more!"

Not a bad article altogether, but rather one-sided in my opinion. Constantly refferring to the LLC as the Borg, which everyone here at least should know is a derogatory name that has gained in popularity as dissatisfaction with the event has grown, pretty much shows the bias. I also felt that there ...

Chicken is getting ready to tell us we'e all wrong.

And I want to vote on what acts get booked into his bar.

I'm not sure a town hall meeting is that urgent at this point. The logistics of putting one together especially as we roll into the holidays probably makes things doubly difficult as far as finding appropriate venues. Hey now Badger, I think you're seriously belittling Chicken John's efforts here. ...

NTS: Allow time to sober up between DPW Parade and Fire Conclave.

(and no homemade beverages ever again during parade.)

This sums up my thoughts on patriotism pretty well: The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies. They are the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus, etc. In most cases there is no free exercise whatever of the judgement o...

I crush Tisha, Alpha, and Samtzu for going out of their way to be supportive when being spitefully singled out by a trollish fuckhead. I crush the BurningMan community for being some of the best people in world and this country to join with this in these scary times. I doubly crush ActionGirl, her s...

Be positive, sweet thang... Think of all the good music that'll come out over the next four years. A silver lining, true. To quote from my friend Lee Press-On's ( of the sadly departed Lee Press-On and the Nails )livejournal from a couple of months ago: "It's no secret that years and years ago, bef...

Hey Cac, I started a thread with your name because you were trolling all over calling everyone who didn't support Bush a mindless liberal twit (in so many words, usually ruder), and I wanted to draw your attention to the opinion of a certified conservative who also wasn't supporting Bush, to see if ...

Yes, I saw the news. Fucking lame. Do you REALLY think it's conducive to democracy to have a member of the opposing party be able to come up to you in the poplls and say"Okay, show me some ID and prove to me you can vote here". Do you really thin kthat someone might not get a bit to enthusiastic and...

I thought it very odd that the guy hading out the vote recording memory cards needed to know what people's party affiliation was when handing out the cards. Jeez dude, get a clue. That was the primaries, remember? You got a different computer thingie the same way you'd have gotten a different paper...

In Ohio the Democrats went to the Supreme court to prevent the Republicans from posting challangers at the polls to verify that the people voting are who they say they are. I'd just like to point out that judges sided with the Demos because it was obvious that the "challengers" were more about vote...

Voted in Oakland, Californ-aye-ai with a paper ballot, instead of those damn deibold things. I wouldn't have minded using a computer if there was any kind of reciept or paper trail, but I think Diebold felt that would interfere with the GOP winning...
