Aloha, Roy! We are planning to visit the Big Island next May for our 10th anniversary. Never been to the 808 before - would love any tips! We will be renting a VW Bus and camping around the island over 2 weeks. This may be our last burn for a while too. Perhaps we could connect for some burner-type ...

Yep - busy, busy building and doing! If anyone out there is thinking of traveling to the PNW for this event, there are quite a few tickets popping up for sale as peoples plans change. Join the FB page or Burningman BC-WA yahoo list for the most info - it's linked from the main web page: http://www.c...

Just got my rejection letters. Two for the price of one. Nice. I still plan to try all of the official ways to get tickets - but I have to say, the double rejection shakes my faith a little extra. If that was not flowing correctly on their part, what else might have glitched? It does suck to see tha...

If anyone happened to take a photo of the helicopter and ad banner, or you see one somewhere, I would *love* to have it. There may be actions we can take, but a good photo would help! )'( My campmate got a pic - I'll see if I can get ahold of it. I think this is utter bullshit as well and hope ther...

Always except for last year. There were fire performers in the inner circle and the crowd could see them and pushed forward I was one of the performers in the inner circle - they usually make us push back to the edge of the crowd but that year they didn't - I don't know why but we took advantage an...

I brought it up by searching "shin"

No, I'm not trying to start another debate about the theme. If you want to comment on that there are about 600 other places online to do it. What I want to know is this: What word or phrase or image represents the the American Dream to you? Or what have you been told it is - or should be? Feel free ...

THAT is FUCKING FABULOUS!!!!!!!

I agree with Ivy on the boundary pushing...and I feel that the segregation part would inevitably end up with people either feeling like visitors or tourists...I think that BM is ALL of our homes. Besides...if you are uncomfortable witnessing the Radical Self Expression of others whatever that may be...

"The Beach"

At the end, L.D.'s character writes an e-mail from a Net-cafe that floored me...I was totaly NOT expecting to be zapped into "playa state" but there I was with tears in my eyes wanting to be home.

*sigh*

'04...here I come, baby!

Try doing an Image Google...I am amazed at how many people have named their rabbits "Willow"

[quote="slide At least I can still tie square knots in cherry stems.[/quote] A fine talent! I married the first man I met that could also do it...we're a happy coulpe! But back to the thread...caution should be used when applying "Beer Googles." This is when you've met someone at a bar (or camp) and...

You are a very funny person who can make people laugh so hard that they pee.

How would you get fresh fruit!? I always go early to help set up camp (Flight 2 Mars...takes a lot to put together) but we have East coas folks that come on Thu/Fri...since they were't the for set up, their job is to bring fresh fruit, milk, eggs, soft bread & such. They get a BIG welcome when they ...

Hmm...Love the temple, Love David but geez...that could be concidered animal cruelty.

This makes me think of something from last year...I think it was durring the temple burn, or maybe the man, or maybe something else...hard to remember now...but I saw a white bird (maybe more that one...my memorie is foggy with time) that at the time I thought might be mechanical...I had seen it onc...

Hahaha...I didn't get to go this year (trying now to live vicariously through these posts) so my answer is...my shit from last year! I still have 2 boxes of costume-y clothes covered with playa that I haven't found an excuse to wear and therefor haven't washed... sometimes I just stick my head in th...

OK...Lot's of posts on this hot topic...I could only get to about half of them. My observance is this: Victimizers look for Victims (you KNOW these are out there)...Predators look for easy/weak prey. Some weaknesses are within our control, some are not. Being almost 6ft tall, sober, aware and feisty...
