Star, I love your sentiment,.....it's beautiful.

Useless trivia: In addition to being Cinco de mayo, today is also Buddha's Birthday. The birthday of the Gautama Buddha (Birth name: Siddhattha), is traditionally celebrated on the eighth day of the fourth month in the Chinese calendar. It is a holiday in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and South Korea. Th...

Hey Gingher, You could always stop by our dome. My partner and I will be sipping tea, puffing the hookah and settling in for a few deep meditations ourselves. Since we are BM virgins, I can't lend advice as to other locations that might be serene. You know, it might be great to practice melding with...

Hey System Error , Like you, I am a first time dome builder. I am still planning my 2V, 18' foot diameter dome and so far, it seems pretty straight forward. Just do a google search using the words: "conduit geodesic dome" and you will find LOTS of information. I bet if you search this forum, you wil...

anyone doing it? i'm down. Dang, NYC to Nevada is one heck of a road trip. We are driving out from Texas and that's long enough for me. I am planning a couple of long days on the road. To recuperate, I also have plans to stay at the Peppermill casino for a couple nights before the gates open. Have ...

We were on the corner of 5pm and bipolar. busy electrocuting people. Ok Timber and anyone else listening, What's the deal with the street names? I understand that the layout is like a clock so I understand the 5PM thing. However, on the Blackrock City map that I found, it only shows cross streets w...

Make sure your cooling is up to snuff, especially in an air cooled bug if you plan to drive during the day. S3 Luckily, our little yellow beetle, (named SUNSHINE) is water cooled. Sunshine is a 2000 turbo touting a wopping 150 hp and 156 torque. I hope she can pull a small utility trailer. We will ...

How I would go - North on IH35, west on IH40 (OK city), North on US95 over the border, West on US50 (Reno Hwy, NOT Emigrant Trail to Carson City) catch 447 north at Fernley, and there to home. Never come that way but starting to plan ahead so when I retire in San Antonio I have the route planned ou...

2006 will be my first Burning man and I am excited to say the least. As I plan my trip, I have a few questions: 1. When should I show up? When do they open the gates? I will have a modest camp to sustain myself and my partner so I will only need a day to make camp. Even though I will not have an art...

I honestly hope you find everything you are looking for at Burningman but I would caution you about going with expectations (intent.) True, True,....I will indeed leave my expectations in the default world. Thank you for the advice. It is a feeling I have deep in the pit of my stomach. I just know ...

[quote="LeChatNoir"]Hello and welcome home!!! Paolo... you’d be interested to know that several folks I’ve talked with were drawn to the event by dreams also. Lots of talk about synchronicity too. Be warned... that playa dust gets in your blood and doesn’t seem to want to come out.[/quote] LeChatNoi...

Then, last week, I saw mention of the BM on an "art" website. After that, I could not get Burning Man ou...
