no one really drinks wine on the playa. I do! And not Franzia either.... I plan on bringing a few bottles of my private reserve out from the cellar, including a leftover bottle of champagne from my wedding last year, which my husband and I will enjoy in our crystal wedding flutes out in open playa ...

Best price on tarps! Plus no shipping (and no sales tax in OR )

you can't get 190 proof everclear in CA...........

Yup! between Yreka and Weed... across the freeway and just south of the metal cow and the State of Jefferson hay barn...

I don't drink everclear so....

I just discovered the glory of the Liquor Expo in Montague, CA. It's a mall of cheap booze! Drove through on the way back from Reno (it was organize the BM storage unit weekend!) and prices were $1-$5 less than in NV, $3-$10+ less than in my lovely prohibitionist OR. I am through buying liquor in Or...

Ah, Blueberries are good. just bought 4 more pints today. Last day of sale ($1.25 each) have 10 in fridge now !! Think we've gone thru 20 in 4 weeks. Living near Jersey has benefits. All except first 2 were $0.99 to $1.50 :P Not too bad... I am always disgusted by the price of blueberries and raspb...

I would highly recommend bringing a few tents, extra bedding and shade just in case you all want to kill each other after a couple of days in that small space. You may need an escape in case someone snores, or starts gettin' busy, or turns out to be a coke-addled sociopath...

Yay! I can't wait for the mini Mega- and Minitropolis'! Your video is very cool! AntiM, it wouldn't be complete without the Home for Wayward Art... I hope you have time (though I understand if you don't). Speaking of which.... We are also in need of representations of Center Camp, Playa Info, DPW, A...

I have no problems with either strippers or whores. More power to them all. One of my dearest friends, though not a stripper, is so big a whore that I call her the whole brothel.

Same year, almost same scenario: this guy blazes right past my hubby yelling "Drunk on bike! Drunk on bike!"

Come to think of it, a quick trip to Whiskey & Whores should set you up for a grand birthday... you'll have the time of your life and won't remember a thing!

Yay for antioxidants

Shit, I hope they're good this year... you're giving me grower's anxiety!

Sorry! Esplanade & 7:00

Yeah, guess I'm just a fruit snob. I like my berries firm.... actual berries... and fruit..... Ahem... Come visit us at C.R.T.T. I always try to gift some blueberries to the neighbors on Friday morning before they spoil... It's amazing how many turn them down! Hope the crop turns out! It's late this...

Are you there by the Friday before ygmir? The berries get mighty tired after more than one day on playa, even in the cooler...

I like the intangible gifts a lot... happening upon a really great performance is really up there. The best gift may have been stumbling upon one of the most excellent drag shows I've ever seen on the way back from the portapotties.

(Aside) Note to self, kill gidget on Monday night exodus so she never has the chance to spill the beans and spoil the best part of the burn again. Shit.... ummm..... I mean..... fire rocks! Party! Whoo-hooo! Go home on Friday people! Beat the crowds! Nothing to see here. Move along..... Who reads t...

Any early arrivals want fresh organic blueberries/raspberries/apples/pears? Provided this fucked up weather doesn't completely ...

I believe there is already many a thread out there on this topic... may want to do a search for those... much advice to be had... much snark to be had too... which will undoubtedly follow right... about......... now?

I'm in the same boat as bigbluedoggy and CapSmashy what with the building and breaking down the esplanade theme camp... when we leave on Tuesday we have been in the desert for 2 weeks and are really ready to go home, yet still kinda don't want to leave... This is my 8th consecutive burn and I have n...

Burning Man is being moved to my house. Things you need to know: I can sleep 3 in my living room, 2 in my bedroom (Hushville). Tickets will not be sold at the door, so be ready to buy online. My neighbors are loud bitches, so go nuts--my stereo is new and amenable to the task. Coffee and ice is ava...

Boo.

Oh that sucks! It just always seemed like a good idea... Bad seal or shattering or what?

Fusible webbing comes in many widths. you could even do it all at once and fuse it right to the sleeve. zero moop factor after it's ironed on to the ribbon :) Great stuff.

Budget is good. We go with them every year. Make sure to clean the truck well before you return. The only negative experience we had with them was that one year the truck died on the way back to Reno. They did send out a replacement truck, plus a bunch of guys to repack the new truck, who then broke...
