The reason there are not more shuttles, is based on the amount of goods that need to go out there- not just luggage, but food and water. Note that even BioBus has limits on what you can take. These work best for those in theme camps with meal plans. I rode to the playa one time in a truck whose main...

current and last prescription glasses, two pairs M-44 army surplus goggles, (or maybe three, last year I had one lost and one loaned out during the big storm).

And on the fourth of juplaya I tried those 9.99 "as seen on TV" "HD" sunglasses that go over prescription glasses and LOVED them.

Many theme camps repeat year after year, so check the burningman.com list of 08 camps for one that matches your philosophy and/or geography, and then the 09 when it updates... Or with enough of you, just camp together as an unregistered mini-theme (or themeless) camp. Some packing lists are availabl...

So if you could help me make this happen please let ...

Now adays I rely on the Human Carcass Wash, and or a camping shower bag to bathe. But when it comes to wipes for cleaning the body, I recommend these (http://www.comfortbath.com/bathing.cfm) No, seriously. While designed for the bed-bound, you can't get into a bathtub on the playa either... These ar...

There's another 24-hour Winco, at 9750 S. Virginia, off US 395. Follow signs toward the airport and pass the airport exit to continue 4 miles to Exit 61. More convenient from the interstate, but closed 1am-5am are two Save Marts (ex-Albertsons) that are a 1/2 mile north off I-80. Exit 10 is at 10500...

Ever see THE AMAZING RACE on TV? Where they take 8 or 9 teams of two (newlyweds, bf/gf, brother/sisters, etc) and set them off on a race around the world? By the third week, two teams are at each others' throats, two teams are cruising w/o a problem in the word and the rest are somewhere in the mid...

There may be more fashionable choices, but M-44 is the model of the military spec ones that will fit over most glasses, despite what American Science/Surplus says. http://www.armynavysales.com/c-18-goggles.aspx http://www.sciplus.com/singleItem.cfm/terms/13585 I tried swim goggles one year and they ...

If you are and unpaired hetero male looking for sex at Burning Man you will not find it. Once you truly stop looking it may find you. Any camp is a "sex camp" if you are found to be desirable enough in looks and/or personality. A "sex camp" is not one for you if you are found to be undesirable in pe...

Any time: Live and original (March 4, Environmental Encroachment, some guy and his guitar) Night: The thumpy techno is the heartbeat of the playa, but I'll always pick Adrian's mashups and funk from Black Rock Roller Disco.

Agreed. Last year I filled two rideshare slots in my car using the Playa info intranet, but you can also just ask around. Everyone has a little more space since their most of their food and water left the playa via the blue saunas. RNO to BRC it's more spread out and some get approval for early arri...

If you don't have a lot of luggage, it fits your schedule, and you can deal with the chaotic kitchen plans, you can take the Green Tortiose's bus...
