I was a little tipsy on all the Petting Zoo pussy juice, but I met the two of you and you were such a great couple. You are from Ireland but living in another country and just got engaged on the playa after a few mishaps. After our vow to be best playa friends, I tried to find you both but failed. I...

Yes, like so many others, this was smooth and painless. Whatever BMorg did this year...congratulations and THANKS! Two of us in the household and we both were able to get in, get our two tickets each and be out of there in 15 minutes. Last year really colored the experience for so many...I only hope...

Hey everyone. I have a few basic questions for y'all out there. I was thinking of Trade Joe's frozen stir frys and chow mein...but I wonder how long they are good to stay in the cooler. The bags say that they should stay frozen, but I know they will only stay 'cool' in the ice chest. Also, to save w...

Excellent newsletter. The tone of the discourse is totally different and I for one appreciate it. It is definitely reassuring. Thanks!

Why is it then when people need to overhaul an ailing system, they always come up with some huge ridiculous plan...like a lottery. This sounds more confusing, more frustrating than ever. And FUCK the people who are just going to label those who disagree with this program and 'moaners and whiners'. W...

I'm really glad that others are responding to this thread because I was feeling really alone with this. It is quite possible that I have changed so much by my trips to BM that nothing there seems that unusual, out of the ordinary or scary. I used to be scared of losing my group out on the playa, bei...

Thanks for the advice. Funny, but I got together with some of my friends who went this year and we looked at everyone's pics...and there it was....I got the warm fuzzy again. This place is really deceptive....with a bit of distance now I think this might have been my best trip yet. But I still think...

This was my 7th consecutive year at BRC and I finally am feeling signs of burn out. Everything that felt extra-ordinary and magical seemed nice and cool, but not as amazing as they had seemed in the past. The art just didn't seem that great to me this year. I don't know how to explain it, but even t...

Doing a small gallery exhibit on the Art of Burning Man and looking for one cool playa costume to display in addition to photos and cool shit. If you have something you can email me at [email protected].

Thanks!

Hey there...5th year Burner, 1st time setting up my own theme camp. There are going to be about 35 of us...and I'm curious how other people have dealt with this situation before....how do you deal with the people who were never really available to prepare for the trip, set up the camp, etc? Or the p...

Hey there,

Your reply to my reply made me happy today.

I'll be arriving on Monday so I'll be around the whole week. Don't know our location yet...probably won't till we get there. Maybe I could pop in, say hi, etc.....

Recharing, re-energizing sounds so, so lovely....and needed....

As always, it's kind of impossible to post a qustion on eplay without getting slammed. I have been to BM for five years. I love the carcass wash. I go every year. It's one of my favorite things. I go every day when I'm there. But I've been confused when others have felt weird vibes. I just feel frie...

Why don't more straight guys and women join in then? It does seem that it is mostly gay men and gives off a gay vibe I think (according to about ten friends I've brought there over the past 3 years who take one look and take off).

The Human Carcass wash is one of my favorite things to do at BM....great group shower activity. Yet, when I go there, it seems that it attracts a mostly older, gay crowd. I've gone to it with friends who take one look and bail. They say the vibe is weird. What's your take on any of this?

Hey there, I'm a writer too, and make a living at it, which is cool...but I am totally burnt out with writing. I'm looking for a place/space/venue/group....to help recharge/reconnect to my creativity. Don't need another workshop with notes from people.....there are too many of those in the real worl...

Ok, this is something I never get right....guys, what kind of shoes do you wear at BM that are easy on the feet, easy to bike with, and what do you wear at night that are all of the above, plus good looking?

Thanks for any feedback.

Older (2 years) model...a little wider than the newer models. I don't remember what model type it was, but we lost it on the playa on Saturday afternoon, riding with the Skinny Kitty procession. Lost somewhere between the man and 9:00/Esplanade. It has pictures of our camp...the last few pictures sh...

Hey Larry, It was great meeting you. You guys were busy that night...I hung out and watched the Harry Potter redux which was awesome. Then you played Shake Hands With Danger as a request for someone in our group. The Icy Shoulder punch was delicious. I came up to say goodbye when I was leaving but y...

Don't miss Lamplighting! Just show up at their workspace near 5:30 & Center Camp around 5:00pm any night. Sign on, robe up and light the City. It's a BLAST! I've heard that lamplighting is a blast...but why? I know it's a cool thing to take part of for the city, and I've seen them walking down the ...

I asked a female friend of mine...and she replied that she didn't like dicks. Didn't like the look, the shape, the smell of them. I asked a straight friend of mine...he said he thinks dicks are ugly (other than his).
Are dicks really that unpopular?

Just wondering.

Hey, thanks for all the advice. I've heard of a few of the things suggested...but what and where are...

Golden Cafe
Jots
Flaming Ugly Cowboy Salon & Day Spa?

Instead of any negativity I thought I'd float this to the top. They do a helluva job there and play great movies. It's an awesome place to stop on your way back to your camp!

And guys, what are the ingredients for the icy shoulder anyway? Sounds like a fantastic drink special!

I think it's also reasonable to ask, why did you expect any kind of reaction from them? Yes it's nice when people are friendly,open and inviting. But it's not reasonable to expect that they will be that way all the time. Sometimes they are cranky because they haven't eaten or slept in too long. Did...

I'll put in my two cents as well...BM is a once a year (for some once in a lifetime) experience....don't ruin it for both of you. I've seen the same situation played out at BM, and IT NEVER ENDS WELL. Burning Man is a heightened experience on a good day...and being there during a break up can be a h...

Wow, not one person has replied. Helloooo, helloooo
echo in here....echoooo in herrrrre

You have just touched on my biggest dilemna at Burning Man. I am not a hot chick. And I really hate that it is hard to make an impression because of that. Last year I was strolling down the playa with a friend (who is a semi-hot chick). Some guy came over and gave us a beer that he had brewed back h...

Wow, I think I get the picture. Thanks so much to the board members here...you probably saved us a bad beginning for our trip. It's great to be able to count on the burning man community, here and on the playa...even when the news isn't what you'd like to hear! Thanks!

While looking for an extra ticket on Craigs List I came across this ad. This person is advertising companies or individuals to advertise on his or her naked ass at Burning Man. Can you believe this??????????? Here's the ad. Yes that’s right! On my butt. You may be wondering why anyone would want to ...
