rites of passage. thoughts?

Steph and Ben, I think you must have had your little burner by now. Congratulations! Hope you'll share with us... boy or girl? birthdate? burner name?

All the best!

I didn't go last year because I was pregnant, and I'm not going this year because my daughter is only 9 months old... not ready to bring her and not ready to leave her either! 6 years on, 1 year off, 1 year on, now 2 years off... i love my baby girl but man do i miss the playa.

Oh yes. I have been there and remember it well. It's never as bad as the first year back to the default world! It will ease with time, but the first week back is going to be tough. Best thing to do is just stay in contact with those that shared the experience with you. Also, that sense of community ...

Growing a baby burner and due in 2 months! I know some prego women are much more daring then me and still go at this point during pregnancy, but I'm such an incubator already I can't fathom the thought of the heat! If anything is worth not going to me, it would be this... although I am still whiny a...

That's right!

I remember the Twinkie stonehendge! And didn't it have some bites taken out of it by the end of the week?

Nice.

Namaste

Jesus H, that was freakin' hilarious.
What the???

I have to ask though, has anyone ever done a Stonehendge'esque piece on the playa before?

s5, point well taken!

I don't think the BMORG expects everyone to care about the theme. People are always gonna do what they want, pay attention to only what they want to hear and disregard the rest, no matter what the theme or how much hype it gets. But for those that do care, I still think it'll be an interesting theme...

I didn't attend this year either after 6 straight years. It was definitely tough, but I tell ya, I have a renewed appreciation for it by NOT going. I am looking forward to next year like ya wouldn't believe. I did watch the burn live on Current TV. It was very bittersweet... very strange to see it h...

What? No, no, no, no! unjonharley, you know me! I'm not a troll!

Holy of Holy's! Burning Man 2006 isn't even over yet and the theme for '07 is out. What an evolution! I am in utter disbelief! http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i219/dragonflyannie/bm07_theme.jpg Personally, I think this is a fabulous theme! I know Burning Man has been getting a lot of shit about th...

This would have been my 7th year in a row! Ouch! It hurts... it really does. Next year, it is SO on. I'm going to a friends bday bash on Saturday night. She told me she's going to have a fire pit going outside and if I feel the need to burn something, I can. FUCK YEAH I'm going to burn something! BL...

Usually by now I've already heard what the final count for attendance was... but not this year. Will someone please enlighten me?

Mahalo!

I'm getting married on the playa this year, Friday night at 6pm at the temple. My parents have decided to come out just to see me get married! My only concern is how my mom is going to get out to the temple. She cannot walk long distances, and riding a bike is not the easiest thing for her. If there...

tattooedfaerie... I heard this from an inside source as well. I believe it to be true. I don't think the family can win though. I'm pretty sure they take many precautions to make sure they are not liable for this sort of thing. I feel for the family, I really do, but each of us takes this risk when ...

Thank you cowboyangel... that was very touching.

Oh nevermind... I found my answer:

Oops... that's what I meant. 48 hours.
I saw the same report on nbc11.

I just saw on the local news here in the bay area that the property owner is making him tear it down within 24 hours. They didn't give many details as to why. It was only 1 day away from completion. Cowboyangel, do you know why? And why did David build it there to begin with? The news didn't specify...

Fair enough Isotopia.
I appreciate your concern and can see why you would raise the issue.

"reality camp"... i like that.
I'll make it work...

My answer to you is no. My question was purely circumstantial... I would never put my baby in jeopordy just to assure not missing out on Burning Man. I asked the question out of curiosity, since I've been thinking a lot about babies and birth these days. Please don't think for one second that I woul...

welcome 5x5! hopefully it will change your life in positive ways like it has so many! try and make it this year! you won't regret it.

LOL!
Bob, any suggestions???

Thanks BHA for that pic... I'll look back at this thread to remember your advice and see what the outcome was for you. That's priceless. Thanks.
