I heard he died. Wasn't he killed doing a motorcycle stunt or something? I heard it was something with a jump through a fire ring.

Someone asked what it was like in the old days. Well, here's from a guy who came late to Burning Man. I only heard about it in '92, but didn't make it until '93. There were already guys then who were no longer going because it was so much better years earlier, before any people showed up for it. But...

Damn it. I was just going to comment that, no, no pizzas made it to Costco. But then in the random blog link, indeed, a pizza did. That fella took the pizza I ordered. Crap!

Has no one yet pointed out that all the down in front wars largely happen in Front of the Man/Temple/Whatever? I mean yes, I agree those who opt to stand in the front rows, particularly to keep their clothes dust free (!! I remember many years watching the burn in a dust storm) are socially-retarded...

This was my eleventh year. (I missed 1996, the Hellco/Medivac year.) In 1993 it seemed like a slightly wacky camping trip. I helped start Costco and for seven years I've helped run it. This year, was the only year I've not felt magically enchanted by the Burning Man experience. I had the blackest da...

If anyone can hook us up for a bunch (like 20 or more!) either whole ticket books or tickets to the opera and th...

See I usually go to bed before midnight because BRC nights bore Hell out of me since they stopped burning and blowing up shit willy nilly at all times. So that means I am ready to arise near sunrise wh...

Much talk of a stripper pole at Costco this year. Will it happen? It remains to be seen. The person to talk to would be Jefe, facilities manager and stripper pole connoisseur. Actually, we were inspired by the dance pole action at one camp during our drunk bike rides.

Okay, our head chef position is filled, and our CTO needs are taken care of. However, we still need Customer Service Representatives. We'd love to have you join us.

So Costco is hiring. There are current openings in the fo...
