The smell of fry bread at a roadside stand at midnight as I was driving home after the burn.
And of course playa dust, any where, any time.

Ha! My fishbon membership was just confirmed on sat.
Looking forward to meeting some cool people and working on some fun projects.

Cryptofishest- I totally agree. What kind of mess would this be if the collective voice of eplaya had been the driving force behind the ticket distribution system. Admittedly, there have been a few reasonable ideas put forth here, but the majority have just been crazy. I for one am pretty satisfied ...

A forum without curmudgeons would be like Burning Man without any explosions.

I won't refer to specific numbers. there are plenty of numbers floating around, some make sense and some were reinforced by Marion. Some are gibberish. I vote with those who think that there is BIG increase in interest this year. Unimaginably big. Fuck the numbers I just believe it. The use of the w...

Does anyone else drink (alcohol) while they eplaya?

Btw I AM a fucking hippy.

@feetofclay-I like your topic title. It grabbed my attention while looking for info from the bmorg on...anything. And thanks to a link from an eplayan, I found Eric's topic which is a great thread. I wish Eric's thread hat a title like this. Btw thanks to both of you for the link to Marian's intervi...

Thanks for the pointer, Zeke

Is it too early to start thinking about an orphan theme camp?
Sadly, Not to be held on the Playa. Fertility2.0, disseminate.

Always on my mind.

if anybody asks you say, "It sucks. You should check out your regional. Those are way fun, clean, with water, toilets perhaps..."

Thanks Elloram, that will be my new answer to questions about TTiTD

I haven't got aticket yet.Haven't stopped trying. Still can't / won't stop thinking about TTiTD.
But I'm ready to start thinking about the burn instead of tickets. We got what we got.We'll get what we get.
Let's BURN!

Wow just when I thought I was wrong and everything was going to be alright look what happens. No ticket for me from the lottery. I'll keep trying. I don't have much hope for STEP and I'm guessing that the open sale will see about 20,000 burners, as many virgins and nearly as many scalpers looking at...

I agree with kestralsf that there are enough reports regarding percentages for the large camps to see the trends of something like 30%. These are not just individuals reporting that they did/did not get tickets. These are eplayans reporting on larger samples that they have knowledge of(ie their own ...

How cool is it to have a place (eplaya) where it's OK to say " Burning Man" in every sentence ?

OMG!! I just realized that it's been 5 yrs since I visited this topic. Bad burner! Good news! I am in the main sale lottery and will ( fingers crossed ) finally be able to come home for a week. I am so excited. The reality hit me when I got an email from a friend from 2006 telling me that he has reg...

First I have to apologize for not watching this thread that I started. I think that violates one of the ten principles, and certainly breaks with eplaya etiquette . @TomServo..actually 2006 was my first burn and only burn to date, ( see "First and Last Burn"-2006) which is probably why I act like a ...

Vangran, you joined eplaya in 2006. Was 2011 your first year? Admittedly, it took me a couple years to tone down the playa-babble. I still constantly think about it, and I do try and apply the principles..in the default world...I think that's a good thing. I have, however, learned to hold my tongue...

Oh, thank you. It's so nice to have company.

Help! I can't stop thinking about Burning Man. I know it's only November, but I can't stop thinking about the Playa. Everything I do during any day in defaultia I ask..how would I do this/how would it be different on the playa. Answer nearly always the same;"you'll figure it out /it'll be better." D...

I don't have to live it to understand that there are those out there to whom $150 is a big deal. Of course I am glad to know that if I am willing to pay $390 that I have a better chance of getting a ticket, but I would be bummed if I would be getting one at tier one pricing and bumping someone enter...

Ticket scalpers are allready aware that BM sold out last year. Sold out events are what draw them out. With or without the lottery, scalpers will be active in this years ticket sales and unfortunately a lot of tickets will be sold for a lot more than face value. The only problem with a lottery syste...

thanks for your comments. I don't really mind being a nerd. I'm getting homesick thinking about it all and looking forward to giving something back to any burners who can use my help, sparkle pony or whoever. I am just going to start with the idea and plan to show up solo and try to carry it off. I ...

I have this idea that i would like to just show up with lots of rebar,rebar benders, cutters and other tools to help other campers with camp set-up. Firstly just help with making "candy canes" out of your rebar or gifting readymades until my supplies run out. I think I would like to bring as much PV...

[quote="Blonde Iguana"]I rode in the Critical Tits parade this year for the first time with a friend and my daughter (and our breasts were very nicely painted, if I do say so myself). We were waiting around on our bikes at the base of the Man for the parade to begin, milling about en masse with scor...

rabbi, Ijust had athought (ido once in a while). My 30th anniversary is 2 days before BM2007. What if I take my wife to Hawaii first, then fly toReno, Pickup my fresh rental rv and go to the burn 'til thurs (take her away before it gets too crazy) then go toReno to decomp for acouple days. Then will...

dblock, lots of nice portraits on your site.Not all that many tits either TY. I assume you have permission from all your subjects.

I missed the Monday exodus. Had commitments in the default world and had to leave Sat.nite after the MAN burned about 11 pm. Made it to 447(34?) in about 30 min. About loose trash. If cars are basically at a standstill in the exodus line Why could'nt volunteers walk the lines looking for improperly ...
