Every year is different (and fun!)...But it just seems Burning Man might be getting or evolving to be more "sterile"?

Count me in!!! (critical dick and all) I'll be there!

Now...yes I love the Critical Dicks...but they tend to walk...and it certainly is MUCH smaller (literally and figuratively) than CT...and no afterparty...

Yes! I am counting on seeing something different. Absolutely will see something new this year as I've seen something new EVERY year! Every year has been vastly different than the previous year. Granted...but some experiences (CT and DE) are so wonderful I just want them to go on forever...just a maj...

I guess you are right..BM is evolving...I just hope for the better? I believe I remember one year there was no CT afterparty...but there will always be good music...just nit the feeling of the Deep end.

My 2 favorite activities/themes...Critical Tits and the Deep End. Are both now dead? Maybe the Critical Tits ride, but no after party? Anybody organizing CT this year? Last year was awful for riding but this year seems okay by all the reports. But deep End is bye bye????? I so loved that chill spot....

I totally agree with betrdanevr. If you don't want to be photographed, don't be photo worthy.

This is a great thread and I so appreciate the input! The cooking was super easy...clean up was also easy as I pre cooked everything and was just warmed up. I am very well prepared pre-burn and do not trust anyone to bring anything beacuse I assume they will not do it. If I do everything on the fron...

WHOA!!!! Yes!!!! Now I get it! YES YES!!! They were absolutley looking for drugs now that I think about it! OOPS!!!! I really am naive sometimes!!!!

What an idiot I am sometimes! I could just kick myself!!!!

(I look like a druggy but I am not...)

OH WHAT A FUNNY RESPONSE! Loved ZuZu and your concept! One of my most treasured playa moments was discovering her! Okay, I know she hates me but I LOVE her! (okay, her concept).

Oh Clar-i-ty! You are the BEST!!! GREAT response!!! I did notice a reduction of weekend yahoos also this year...

Brattiness is a good word for them....I will, in the future, look to take your suggestion and make lemonade.

WOW, as usual you people have the best advise. Good point on the passive-aggressive (yes I am) but I am a REAL avoider of conflict or drama. I'm here to have fun...not be bossy. Still working through issues in my mind. Yep...we had a lot of assclowns this year (maybe including me) I now have dirty c...

No problems at all with Burners 30+ years old! All were wonderful, interesting, funny, spiritual, reflective, silly, crazy etc. I had several bad experiences with young burners. at least 3 different young (20 something) girls walked up to me and asked me what I had for them in the way of gifts. I wa...

I could use some input here. Thanks for the ability to post to this forum. I had a very different experience this year at BM. This was my 6th year. No year stands out as better or worse, just very different every year. I, once again, had an awesome time at BM this year. I have an RV and have differe...

How hilariouis that she sprayed water! How VERY clever! I LOVED her little shadow videos with her sock ferret!!

Did anybody get a picture of the ZuZu mannequin?? I'd like to see that!

Can anyone tell me what happened if you coaxed ZuZu out of her trailer? Does anybody have any pictures of what happened?

Great reading this thread! I love my pictures from 5 years of Burning Man. I believe I have really captured it... art nudity and all. I go to BM for the photo op. Yes...if you don't want your picture taken, don't be photo worthy. I certainly don't want to take a picture of someone who doesn't want t...

"Playfully Yours" haa a great dungeon we visit every year...

I just do not understand this thread. Burning Man is what you make it. Every year is totally different for me. I seek out bizzare costumed people. I seek out street clothed people. The experience is never the same year to year...never "better" or worse...just different. In fact, people at the same e...

All of you have it totally wrong! Why not use time honored smoke signals. If they worked in the 1800's they gotta work now! Heep-good!

I'm looking to make a standing candelabra about 6 feet tall with 5 "arms" that can "poof" fire.

I live in Orange County but can get to LA....Any mentors out there?

I appologize for being a newbie! Never worked with stuff like this! 1. What is PST? I know PSI but not PST 2. I assume a hose to the proposed art-work-candelabra sculpture? I assume screw fitting pipe for the sculpture? 3. Does the ball valve screw in? What actuates it? What opens and closes the bal...

Yikes you guys got technical REAL fast! 1. Where would I get LP rated pipes/tubing? 2. Where would I get a backflow check valve? 3. Guess I mis-spoke when I said I wanted it automated...5 manual actuators would be nice...what buttons do you guys use? 4. Where would I get a ball valve that you talk a...

Hi BM Community: How does one go about creating those fantastic propane fire balls/jets that I see at BM on art cars and some displays? I know they are remotely controlled, but how? What valve does one use? I want to create a large standing "candleabra" with about 5 pipes and a remote controlled val...

A few of mine

Here's to the 2 girls that jumped into the back of very small art car with me during the rainstorm after Critical Tits. It was very innocent, nothing happened but it was a peak experience for me. 2 beautiful topless scantily clad women next to me seeking shelter from the rain. innocently talking sma...

I had such a great time at this year's BM and will have a great time next year as people tend to disregard the theme more and more as being irrelevant. Even the theme parties in LA...people are now disregarding the themes and doing what they want and dressing how they feel. For me, the Green Man was...

Sounds like a cross between a 4th of July parade and Disney's small world. Sure do love the political themes!

Maybe this one's a joke like the Sports theme during last April Fools?

(nah....)
