You could have DJ Trieste on the wheels of steel with a guest set by Thresher on the upper stage.

I always thought a game of 'Assassins' might be fun. You show up to a camp, sign up and write down your camp intersection plus two other hangouts and get a Polaroid taken of yourself. Then, you're given the notes about somebody else along with their picture, and it's on. When you find the other pers...

Also last page shows where BMORG has obtained a comprehensive insurance policy. Regardless of the affect of lessening risk at BM, it's a good thing the Org has insurance. I don't want the Burn to stop because a mother disagreed with someone's decision to give fire-breathing a go wearing a rayon jum...

You can't do the latter. The LLC is actually lucky to have as much control as it does have now. Forgive my ignorance but if you are in a public place, anyone can take your picture or video without permission and they can do whatever they want with it. People bitch about Discovery getting permission...

If it were possible to get straignt answers, I would want to explore the reasons for even allowing someone from a "couch potato" network to shoot such a documentary. It is either money, or diplomacy as far as I can tell. I say this because Discovery Times seems to be a producer of more informationa...

I always liked porta-pottie roulette.

Well, duh. It's like the streets in suburbs--named after things that aren't actually there.

"The suburbs are where they pave over the trees and name the streets after the trees".

In an environment with a defacto gift economy, it never dawned on me to hoard Burning Man itself. This is a good point for the burnier-than-thou types. The Org is trying a very fine balance between mitigating danger enough to keep having the Burn and Nerf Man. Look at it this way: if footage of Hel...

The complete quote from the JRS is "A group of non Media Department staff, who were troubled about the Discovery Times piece, discussed the decision to allow Discovery Times to film. The staff members concluded that after analyzing the decision they felt the problem is that our participants do not u...

If I ask nicely, would you be so kind as to knit me a cunning hat?

2 points if you drive there and back! (~16hrs)

Rather than call it Desert Bus, they should have called it Kansas Bus. In the desert, there's scenery; compared with the vast uniformity of corn.

This is a very Wise observation.

While drunk off my can backpacking in France, I came *this* close to accidentally joining the French Foreign Legion.

Add a bit about guys wearing women's jeans, and it's perfect.

Technopatra, I'm geniunely sorry that such a horrible thing has beset you. I had a very rough time quitting cigarettes two years ago, but your story, reinforced by what happened to Chai's mom, will stick in my mind every time a craving hits from here in. I'm rooting for you.

Okay, scratch PVC, I'm going to try this and see what happens.

Semi-related question: if I make a bike out of, say, 1 3/4" PVC and glue, will it fall apart quickly, or might it hold for a day or two?

An emo theme camp? Excellent!

Theoretically, you could get everything you need for the 'camping' part into a 12x12x24 and take it with you as a checked bag, but that's a pretty minimalist trip. However, it's your first year, and that's probably a good thing. I've made your exact trip (except from PBI) and my costs were averaged ...

With a month long BM the new moop problem will be ravers.

Alright, but only if next year I get a food pass.

As for the theme: I predict freaked out tweakers. Glorious.

You know, when I think of what creative people get up to in a desolate wasteland, kittens really come into my mind. Yeah. Not that a theme camp made up of bad motivational posters wouldn't go amiss, though.

All that comes to mind are truly horrible things regarding Ducky.

So you went two years and decided BM isn't your thing? I'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but you gave it a fair shot - and that's a good personality trait on your part. What I don't get, though, is what you're aiming to do by fighting about it. Are you trying to figure out a way to blame Burning...

And we find out about the whole thing three days beforehand with instructions on how to book a room at the local Marriott?

Sorry about your luck, but you are dead on with the gas.

In other news, I'm up in PBG but work in WPB and own a scratched up pickup; so let me know if you need help with cleaning up, blue roofin', or something.
