FWIW. Searched ePlaya to see if I could find info on Portos since we had issues this year with ours and found this post. I believe they were a verified OSS vendor since I heard there was a public bank of them outside out 10:00 and our well known neighbors had a 2 Porto unit and was I able to experie...

The bleachers by The Goat Rodeo where the bullhorn heckled FKOs as they shoved their heads up a goat’s ass - fucking art!

THE GOAT TRUTH!!!

Trying to get past eplaya bugs Not sure why it is dictating how it want to show image. Here is inside, Please ignore the crappy durapad, the big box was completely out of it yesterday so i recycled.

So i have had a dream of making this one trash can i had into a unicooler for a couple year now. Finally I tackled this task. Last night i got a huge part of it accomplished but looking for some advice for the final product. I have a fully functioning fan and water circulation going . Now since it w...

Who cares about junk-yard cut-outs when you can stick your head up a goats ass. http://www.zenzibar.com/bman/BM2000/goat2.jpg YES The Goat Truth. Got my writing chops going at some point back in the day,,, http://journal.burningman.org/2002/08/black-rock-city/tales-from-the-playa/the-goat-truth/

Cheap GPS tracking device for bike so I can catch the fuckers who rip off bikes. I am convinced that mine was taken by professionals and not for a joy ride. Left unlocked for less than three minutes in high traffic corner of 10 and esplanade. If it was taken as a joyride, it should have been returne...

I lost track in your description, but it sounded like your walls are all shade cloth, so I don't see any wind pressure issues. You are going overkill with the extra lags in the feet. A lag in a foot only serves to keep the leg from walking in the wind, which is a useful function, but if the air pre...

Reading through the thread has now got me second guessing. This will be the first year that I am building a 20x20 1" emt flat roof canopy using a 20 x 20 heavy duty tarp. I am planning on using foot pads with 14" lag screws (pondering between 1 or 2 per foot pad) and then guying down (pondering stra...

The Black Rock Roller Disco again will be in this sector for yet another year!!! We will be at 7:00 and Esplanade. Come get your roll on open a near 20 hours a day!

Found a g-shock watch upon final cleaning. Describe the watch and I shall return it to rightful owner.

Long shot, but I lost a custom made black flame hat with Oakley clear goggles at camp across from c/d portos on 4:00 on Saturday (pre-burn) night. Seriously think a couple with megaphones that were at the empty bar of the camp took it since I realized I left it there, turned around and checked 10 mi...

Curious. If the fire was an accident, did the photographer decide that it was a great time to take pictures instead of puting out the fire? Also wondering how the pillow on fire got there as well as the other debris on fire in the background as well?? Hmm....

Our art car weaponized music on the playa by playing 80s soft rock. Nothing like some Air Supply or a track of Dreamweaver to clear out an area. Now this is an excellent idea. Some Wilson Phillips "Hold On" played in a loop never hurt anybody. How about the classic Lionel Richie "All Night Long" lo...

Not gonna do...

One problem is that the percentage of Burgins has been alarmingly high. Not that I am against growth, but it takes veterans to set the example, and when 40+% of the people are new, they see "non-burny" behavior and assume it's normal and OK. By contrast, when 90% of the people are "with the program...

oops +1 post by default!!!

My vote goes to the fucker who took a piss right in between my van and monkey hut, the main path in and out of my living area!!!

Horrible neighbors this year. They would play shitty bass music at all hours of the night and day. It would rattle the inside of our RVs, which were parked adjacent to their camp. Of course, we never saw anyone chilling or dancing at their camp, it seemed like mostly personal entertainment for the ...

... I almost had to make the short walk back to camp to refill my drink before I got a wonderful absinthe drink from the Wizard on his bicycle bar! Was the bicycle bar built on a surfboard?!? Claimed he brought 7 liters of home made Absinthe from Santa Cruz. I helped steady his bar as he set up and...

In 2012, I didn't do anything so ambitious as actually providing wifi. I did, however, provide the brief illusion of wifi using an old WRT54G with some tweaks to the firmware: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/610802/Troll-fi.mp4 Over 6000 attempts were logged... Yeah we did a similar thing for o...

What a fucking show, watched it all from the perimeter!!!! It was a tad on the lengthy side, I almost had to make the short walk back to camp to refill my drink before I got a wonderful absinthe drink from the Wizard on his bicycle bar! Just curious if anyone else thought that something might have g...

Sorry for razzing you. I'm sure a lot of people appreciated your hook-up. I'm still having a hard time understanding your writing so I'll just go before I step in it and track it all over the house. Yes, email to wifi group was tech heavy and not edited for this post. I did disclaim to skip mumbo j...

Impatient at all? Fresh, you put this thread on at 7:43. It's only 9:21. Not even 2 hours. It has 30 hits and 5 posts. I anticipate a lot of hits but internet on the playa isn't a popular concept here on eplaya. I applaud your gifting even though I personally have no need. Ratty, I was not talking ...

Was a great writeup. I only had my unifi kit working for a hot minute mid event week. Definitely going to set it up next year and hopefully aim at the NOC better heh. Thanks otak. I think I was lucky to connect early since I guess things got fubar after power outage. Seems like many had problems wi...

Classic!!

Not sure where this belongs, but here is the email I sent to the brc-wifi email group. Only got one response. Curious for what eplayans might think.... if you want to skip the techical bs, start at experience pt II. It is a bit wordy. :oops: 2014 wifi experience First off, thanks all on the wifi tea...

Did anyone else get drowned out by the Sheep MV on Saturday morning just off of the esplanade at 6:00? They certainly were blasting at high volume which was quite annoying. Not sure how people get away with this since they were maybe 100 yards away from first camp....

Thanks Trilo! That is what I thought. What if i used a couple of cinder blocks underneath the barrel along with 4 pieces of 3' rebar pounded into the ground to hold the barrel in place? If you go this route, wrap all rebars and barrel with several passes of heavy mechanics wire. Grab all of the sla...

I plan on bringing a burn barrel for our camp this year for the first time. Due to other travels, my time for planning was cut short and this project is hitting a close deadline. My question is that I do not currently have a solution for keeping the barrel off of the playa. Short of welding metal le...

I thought you had the 190CFM. :? You will be much happier if you get one. You want total air exchange every 1 to 3 minutes for best results. 8) Looking up the fan specs, I think it actually might be 220 cfm! Although still thinking about the unicooler design, now moved to passenger seat window. We ...
