Re: Out of control scams.
Coworker managed to land two sets of two tickets off of Craiglist. One was a really kind gal. The other was a couple. He literally sat and ate pizza with the couple. All four were reported lost/stolen. This was after he scanned the QR code of all four. This was discovered by he and his three friends...

Box truck versus a ShiftPod+Monkey Hut
In short: would either of these be significantly cooler and/or less dusty? * a box truck with an AC * a Shiftpod with an AC under traditional monkey hut In long: we've enjoyed our yurt the last few years but decided the fate of enjoying future burns involves simplifying things a bit. The 2015 storms...

Gotchya, thanks.
So it sounds like a monkey hut might be an optimal shade structure for it?

Will a Shiftpod2 fit inside the Costco Carport?
Title says it all. Will a Shiftpod2 fit inside the 10x20x Costco Carport? I can't seem to find footprint dimensions on the prior. The website says 12.5ft x 12.5ft, but I'm guessing that's from tip-to-tip diameter as opposed to wall-to-wall diameter. https://store.advancedsheltersystemsinc.com/shiftp...

Liquor on mutant vehicles
I'm unable to find rules pertaining to alcohol serving and/or consumption on a mutant vehicle. I've heard a few different opinions but all are yet to have a source. Are you allowed to serve and/or drink on a car (assuming 21+)? What if the driving cab is open or within arms-reach from where drinks a...

Combine two profiles?
I was looking at my profile and was thinking about how 2006 seemed like a later creation date than I remember. I did some digging and found my duplicate profile. Is it possible to combine the two into the original? -Recent one I've been posting under: http://eplaya.burningman.org/memberlist.php?mode...

Re: Death count at Burning Man
I watched someone jump off an artcar this year, buckle at the ankle and fall backwards. They bumped their back into the rear wheel as it passed and laughed it off.

Re: What did you do to be an Asshat in 2012?
I was an asshat for trying to change during exodus. The guy in front of us fell stone-cold asleep and wouldn't wake to all of our horns. Too lazy to get out and knock on his window, I figured the person aside us would understand as I slowly crept over. Instead, I heard "a-hole!!!" and a bunch of hor...

Re: Death count at Burning Man
I too have a morbid curiosity. I don't have a link on me, but I know there's coverage for the history of deaths at Burning Man. It seems to be, on average, less than one per event. One observation I've made is that a death who's accident happened inside the event (heart attack on the playa, tangled ...

Tow rentals? Last minute car failure, advice needed!
Hi all, We're looking for a last-minute place to rent a 5,000lb tow-capacity truck in the Bay Area. Most companies large and small seem to not allow towing (Enterprise, Budget, Hengehold which is Burner Friendly..) We've had a deposit on a third wheel for the good part of the year for BM, but my car...

Disorient bus dj the night of the burn?
Anyone know who was spinning the Disorient bus about 30-60 minutes post-burn? It was parked with the flower hanging overhead and the silver-spandex dragon bus by its side creating a cool little dance club type area. The dj was spinning reeealy slow techno (think massive attack bpm) but with a tech-s...

I can't grasp why you would get mad at someone asking to use your garbage bag, moop or not.
