Is everyone ready to start predicting the average ticket price from scalpers yet? I'm going to go with $800.

Saying that this is a good idea and that people complaining are 'entitled' and 'whiners' is entitled in it's own self, maybe more so. the BMORG is just an institution, they can make bad choices, and as a community we can complain. Sometimes that changes things. I'm pretty sure there is a movement ac...

This is awesome. I am going to get a stamp made before I get out there and hopefully have some local SF stamps in my journal before hand. I hope I can find the box at the Booby Bar! *snicker*

Zsu Zsu spitting into the helmet is near the top of the list of my most favorite events of my lifetime.

Looking forward to adding my boobies to the bountiful mix. Wonderful Finn has lured me to BM at long last... the great adventure awaits! I am a forest, meadow and water person by nature, but looking forward to the magical playa energy I have only heard about thus far. Can't wait to meet you good fo...

Good morning Boobarians! My partner, the as-yet unplayanamed Erin will be joining me this year, and I would like to introduce her here. I know she'll make a great addition to our kamp! She'll be along presently to take the Booby Pledge. Oooh, you are bringing a partner in crime? I need to find me o...

I vote red hots. Hot nipples...

Hot, red nipples. Hot nipples... Red hots! Red hots!

Plus I like red hots better.

Arriving at home last night after my third burn I felt a wave of confusion hit me. I didn't know where I was. I didn't know why I'd had to leave, I didn't know what to do not seeing my camp mates that I'd seen every day. I met special people. I wanted them there every moment. I wanted to hold their ...

The storm lasted a pretty long time (I think 6 hours or so). It cleared just in time for the man to burn a little late. The precession and fire dancing was skipped making it a very "American" man burn (instant gratification). He just started fireworking, and then blew up a few times before toppling ...

Yes. Thankfully we are DOOMED!!

Maybe we could have it inside the bar on the lounge side. At least then the wind (is it going to be windy this year?) wouldn't wreak havoc with dozens of scraps of paper... Yah, we can do something. It would be best to get a white board though. Those are so much more convenient and fun. We could al...

We have found a camp. A while ago in fact. I forgot to post that here it seems! Sorry about that. Thanks to all who offered. We will be camping at the Booby Bar in Terminal City at 3:00 and A. Come by and have a drink!

See you playaside!

Nick, Did you have a time in mind for the procession? Last year you were at the mercy of someone else's offer to carry the boards in their art car - this year you have your own art car 8) So you get to choose! :D I do have that smallish A-frame corkboard/whiteboard thing I told you about right afte...

I have a corkboard. It isn't massive, but it's real and you can hold it in your hands and put things on it. Want me to bring it and place it somewhere nice? I'll get some tacks for it as well. Hopefully nice big ones that aren't easy to become MOOP.

I need to pack soon! I have to get everything together, see what I'm missing, see if my bike can be salvaged and used, see what sewing projects need to happen, get all the food, keep it frozen.

Oh my the days incoming will be filled with madness.

I can't wait to be out there again. Hooray!

Find a camp??? There's four of you... you ARE a camp! Make up a name, set up, and be merry! There is always that. It certainly isn't that we are a co-dependent group needing a larger entity to survive out on the playa, we just want to go out, meet some more people and experience a different vantage...

Greetings! We are a tight-knit group consisting of 3 experienced burners and one virgin looking for a cool theme camp to be a part of for our 2008 burn. We are all hard working participants who love to make each other laugh and enjoy the entire process of playa life - from the pounding of rebar, to ...

I love it with genre's instead of authors. It would be so fun to be on so many of those streets. Comedy would likely be a blast!!

The problem with naming the streets after authors or book titles is that it is somewhat like advertising. While I love reading, and think that it is not treated as important as it should be in this country, I don't think that we can go around using specific people or works as streets, it doesn't rea...

Cool article - I like sherrif Watwood Yoodoo - what nationality is that. Personally - Id like to see the Sheriff try to shut down BM on a tuesday during the event, theres not enough law ennforcement in all of nevada to clear out BM in less than the week the event is going to run anyways. If You don...

The idea of the Global Dream or something similar sounds much more appealing although I'm not an American and at the end of the day it's your festival. It might be in my country, but it's just as much your festival, no matter what the theme says. Always remember that. Black Rock City belongs to no ...

Why can't it be something more earth friendly, like say "The Global Dream." The original ideals of "The American Dream" are great, but that concept is so far corrupted that it feels to me like a trendy and politically driven theme. The creativity of theme based concepts for 2008 is instantly bottlen...

printed, folded and taped together. Thank you sir. Now if I can read it in all that dust... =)

I can't wait to see this out on the playa. Your work continues to impress.

Monzy that is hilarious. It really is. This is exactly the "vibe" I feel is needed if everything comes off all too corporate. I'm still holding out hope that it will all be something cool and in spirit, as I do trust M Coollette (we've been friends for many years, and I didn't realize it was her fir...

Many thanks for the link to the article. I had a vague idea of what was going on this year but the details are good. For myself I'll keep an open mind until I get on playa and make an opinion then. Right now I'm luke warm at best. One of the things I've most appreciated about the burn is the absenc...

Except... not go. If you were that pissed about it you'd blow off BRC and start your OWN event. NOT buy a ticket, NOT be on this board, NOT feed the behemoth, and NOT be a sheep. Because... if enough people don't like it, and don't go, then it will cease to be such a potential lucrative property. P...

Oh, yeah... petitions, protests, civil disobedience? Sign me up, all of the above. Somebody made a cannon that fires pants , for crying out loud. I think we can pretty much pull off anything we want. I was more meaning, would it have any effect. Although thinking more on it, maybe that isn't the po...

I just went back and saw the ad...I didn't even notice it and just went straight to the article. We all just got sold... Agreed. I saw the article first and was to put it lightly, disheartened. Then I saw the ad and was terrified. I want to bring a petition to the playa this year to let BMORG know ...
