Re: Something about Daft Punk
An unfortunate choice of words as it turned out with the result being an event that at least 2-3 case studies could be conducted on people believing what they want to believe. I don't think the problem was that people believe what they want to believe. The problem is that they believed what was wri...

Re: Smash all of your god damned phones!
Just because there are real people to talk to you opt for a piece of plastic. Cell phones defeat the purpose of the event. Leave your plastic at home. You do realize that 90% of the shit out there is from Costco, Home Depot, Walmart, Target, U-haul, Ryder, 1800-rent-rv... If everyone left their 'pl...

No more police than usual. And I am always appreciative of their presence. Especially this year. A friend of mine and myself wandered back to camp to refill on booze and whatnot on Saturday night after the burn to find a girl bloodied and beaten by her boyfriend, we took her to FA and dealt with the...

Fold em flat, then roll em up and garbage bag em... Seems to be the best way. I still don't understand how playa eats through peoples bags. Though I believe we have changed garbage bags from year to year. Garbage bags get trashed very easily anyways. Maybe try one of those nylon GP storage bags. Or ...

Cheap painters masks, even the ones with the lil plastic filters aren't all that great. They are kind of half ass. They are cheap, easy and great to hand out to people during a flash dust storm. But as for a personal piece of gear to carry around, I always opted for the plain old bandanna, handkerch...

In all my years of attending I have never heard of anyone getting anything more than a cold or mild flu, nothing that they wouldn't have gotten otherwise... With the exception of this year. 3 of my friends got swine flu. My mother got desert hay fever, which I didn't even know was an illness. And th...

People are full of shit talking about playa dust like its hydrochloric acid or something. I have a storage unit that is strictly for BM and similar supplies. I unload it and pack it onto the trucks every year, use it on the playa, re pack it and bring it home and put it right back into the storage u...

Re: No comprehende
I've been playing with firearms most of my life and lived in the desert where everyone had them- usually sitting around leaning up against walls in rooms. The military helped me clean up my skills somewhat, but not honestly as much as people think. I've known folks that claimed cleaning accidents. ...

Re: No More Ice Bags or Blocks Needed on the Playa
Just imagine no more long waits in line for ice at Arctica, or running back to camp with melting ice, and dealing with slimy unhealthy cooler water or draining it into evaporation ponds. I rather enjoy waiting in line and meeting people. And the lines aren't that long. I never ran back to camp with...
