Last year I saw someone who covered their dome in those aluminum window shades. They said they got the ones used for semi trucks that were nice and big and they put them all together and added a swamp cooler. It was awesome. Last year we built a dome which we were all very proud of, but this year we...

alas, in our quest to offend no one, we offend everyone

overall i dont think it was too much bigger.. they had more streets but each block was actually shortened

i didnt ever see el circo's lineup for the week.. can anyone provide it? i definitely need to get clued in on the big names on the playa next time around

man did that dj suck the night of the temple burn! he claimed technical difficulties but it was ridiculous... at some point they should've pulled the plug!

man... get over it already.... let people do what they feel comfortable doing. if that means they wear street clothes... good for them. there will be plenty of people in costumes/crazy outfits as well... the only thing that sucked this year was the jaded veterans. which is funny since that is exactl...

[quote="Rat Bastard"] Even limoed a couple to their wedding. [/quote]


was that on saturday pre burn over to the temple? if so, thanks! if that was you guys, i was the one who officiated over the wedding!

I saw a BLM number listed at 48,011

we waited and got there about 9 or 10am on monday.. not really any line.. still plenty early enough to set up shop and have your pick of spots (if youre in a small enough group)

plan to arrive around the same time this year

MRE's really aren't so bad. They stop you up because they're so incredibly dense, but all that means is you don't need to sit on the toilet your first couple of days!

first response in a google search.. dont buy the drink! lol

I know there was another guy out there with a water truck that was gifting showers to everyone. Had a real nice setup with water collection underneath and I believe he said once the week was over and people cleared out he was going to water the area down, much the same as the water trucks that try t...

will be my 2nd year... had such a good time last year that i paid for my sisters ticket to come check it out this time! met some really great people - looking forward to seeing them again as well as meeting many new friends. live in astoria, oregon. stationed here with the coast guard. call las vega...

ive got some i could contribute

[quote="misfit"] as far as prevention,,, don't suck on dirty nipples....[/quote]

gee... take all the fun out of it

Wanted to pass along this idea in the spirit of The Green Man! (although part of me wants to be selfish because I wanted a unique way to find my camp at night!) Costco has solar pool lights that you can just float in the pool. They're inside of plastic globes and like I said are intended to float, b...

hrmmm.. the silvicool tarps look like a great idea. do any of you have any comparison stories between aluminet and silvicool?

[quote="helitack"]A camp with ...uh, um people, uh ...from Las Vegas...[/quote] i wanna run into cheetah camp. vegas is home for me although im currently stationed elsewhere. its always nice to run into people from home... and well.. cheetah's isnt bad either! i guess one of these years ill join a t...

will leave astoria on the 24th... possibly stay around portland that night.. eugene the next 2 nights.. then head on over in time to get there the morning of the 27th (10am or so)

if anyone is travelling in the same general direction, would be down for some drinks along the way as well!

last year was my first year and we went with the intent of packing light but keeping it efficient.... taking it all in... and then knowing first hand what to do the next time around. we stocked up on cup'o'noodles, granola bars, water, cereal (makes a great snack in small sandwich bags) and a couple...

i used a camelbak last year and it worked great. it was bought at costco for $20 and it was a limited combo back pack (which is ideal - its nice to be able to carry minimal things like sunscreen, chapstick, goggles, etc if youve got a stash of ice back at camp.. load up the camelbak and fill it with...

had a small 2 man eddie bauer tent last year as a playa virgin. used rebar stakes... everything held up fine when the neighbors carport went sailing away. only drawback was the dust. i didnt bother sealing it and paid for it (actually slept with the dust mask one night since i was inhaling playa!) t...

[quote="Ugly Dougly"]Good question, is CT limited to those who have bare breasts???[/quote]

no, there are those who don't bare em and still ride. but their numbers are very small

combine the critical tits and critical dicks parades.. if you're concerned that so many of the onlookers are hetero males drooling over their cameras, give them something else to fill the frame with. i guarantee it will weed some of them out. i was at the parade last year, there were a lot of riders...

Playa Q is the way to go if you want to be taken care of with food. I had friends in the camp and they were allowed to invite a guest to each meal so we were fortunate to share the experience.

Jaclyn - yeah - that is what I was kinda getting at. You're right - it doesn't address the root problem. I've always found it amazing that in our country where we are so 'advanced', our society's image of sex remains taboo. I don't think there is ever going to be an easy fix, I just hope that it doe...

i dont think i would have even known who any of them are, so would be hard to tell you if there were pictures of them.

i think its cool that celebs are willing to go out there though.. i would imagine with a little costume work, itd be nice having no one recognize you.

im not saying this is the right answer at all.. i think it sucks for women that guys are rude or disrespectful (although yes it goes both ways) men in general are seen doing it more often.. but... if so many women have such bad experiences with going topless.. why continue to do so? i dont know what...

when we left the man burn, the tally was at 38,989

weren't the yellow bikes green? or were those 2 separate programs? lol admittedly.. i almost fucked up at one point.. i borrowed my friends bike earlier in the week.. went out scoping out art.. and at the belgian waffle.. i got off.. took some pictures.. got back on.. rode about 200 feet before i re...
