There were obviously a bunch of people from around the 3:00 plaza that were not interested in center camp coffee. ESPRESSO CAMP was open from shortly after sunrise to about noon. We always had a friendly group of people needing their morning Espresso. I also LOVED my two competing neighbors near 83...

Out of all the issues going on with the event why is this dead horse still being flogged? If it has Larry's support and vision behind it your odds of killing it are the same as seeing a US Navy sub surface in Lake Lahontan. It ain't gonna happen. So what's with all the debate? I don't get it. Enlig...

mine never melt. I keep them in a mesh bag deep in a pile of clothes and towels in my tent. maybe that keeps them insulated from the peak heat of the day.

Also, I really agree with the "no dogs" policy, mainly because I hate hippies and their hippy dogs.

Yep. I saw it. The fish were real. I also met a guy with two parrots at the burn. I think I liked the fish tank camp more.

I say let the yahoos come and gawk, based on this SpikeTV web special. We all already know how to deal with specticipants and its not like not having this show magically kept tourists and weekenders away.

I just think that what started out as a small festival in sf is now too big for its own good. I have never been to bm but the poster of this thread painted a real clear picture of what its like at the burn.

more or less, that sums up my reaction to people attempting to put burning man in a tiny little box too.

Oh, I love ePlaya. Burners here have helped me with designs for structures we're bringing out this year, possibly without even knowing it. And you know, I'm even understanding of the "sit down" effort by BRC Rangers during Saturday's burn, logistically speaking. My objection is with the humorlessnes...

We're (Spacecock) going "shade" as opposed to rain-proof, and we will be using the Tyvec Arctic Camo route. Upon cutting the 16x16 squares in the best shapes, we'll be grommet punching the sections together and lashing them to our dome and tunnel.

and here I was thinking that people sat and demanded that others sit during the temple burn because they needed at least one time to be sanctimonious on the playa.

(shit, this sounds and probably is pretty trollish. feel free not to reply, everybody.)

Perhaps it has been stated earlier in the thread, but we're at page 10 now. I just read Harvey's defense of Center Camp Cafe in the summer newsletter, and while its a decent defense of the commerce issue, it doesn't address one I think may be just as or maybe more important: RADICAL SELF-RELIANCE I ...
