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...

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?

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...

See you out there

Perfect, thanks guys!

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...

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...

[quote="Bob"][quote="Ever"]...I coincidentally know of someone who goes by "the king" at BM, or at least used to in the early 2000's.

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.

Accidents happen real fast.

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...

ConnieH: Interesting similar story. It's funny, isn't it? How you'd totally give someone water off your own back, but when they act like IT'S BURNING MAN I DON'T HAVE TO ASK, you're ready to do the dance? To answer your question, my guy didn't identify himself as the king. However I coincidentally k...

Sixth burn since 2003. I hate to complain, but this guy won my Jerk Award ribbon and reminded me how crummy a person can be amongst an otherwise-awesome group of people. You took my handicapped friend's water. In the desert. After we said no. We partied and watched the sun rise. We were at Disco Kni...

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 ...

[quote="junglesmacks"]It still amazes me that after all the info that is out there.. that anyone still attempts to rent from Uhaul. ..and a 6 year eplaya veteran no less.. :roll: YES the cancel contracts.. YES they will charge you monstrous cleaning fees if you manage to sneak one by them.. YES thei...

Interesting, thanks for sharing this story.

I received my confirmation emails and didn't see anything about this. Hrmmm

I've come across a few stories recently, but not-sure-if rumors. Does anyone have first-hand experience with this? -Everyone's UHAUL reservations being auto-cancelled the dates of the burn. Sounds exaggerated, but I saw two regarding this so far from 2012 -GPS in cars/trucks -Sign a wavier that you ...

I think I've been on this forum the longest so I suppose that *I* get to be the snarkiest about electronic music, right?

I kid. Not sure how to find RobotHeart, but I'll see you there

Thanks for the replies everyone, I'll try those ideas now.

Wrong terminology, written too hastily!

Looking to tow an AirStream. 5,000lb tow-weight.

Jeep Grand Cherokee V8. SUV sounded just as weird

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...

Awesome thanks

Was looking forward to hearing some ideas about what made your guys' Burning Man that much better this year as far as preparation goes. Anything from the way you prepared to what one comfort item/food made your trip. What I personally do is keep the same packing list from previous years stored on my...

I just began my last year of college and have been going to BM since 2003. Looks like you're yet to learn the one most important thing learned in college - smooth talking ;)

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 took a video of the crowd during the party there. It was most definitely a dreamy vibe with the lighting, people, and music selection.

I can't grasp why you would get mad at someone asking to use your garbage bag, moop or not. I understand your apology and think it's cool that you're doing so, but it sounds that you're only offering it seeing that it wasn't his garbage.. Who cares if he was just coming from a camp/neglected to brin...

Made a post on our camp's forums mentioning that I'm experiencing more post-playa depression this year than in the past two years of attendance. I'm realizing that I'm most missing the friendly faces in my camp and of strangers. I miss the spontenaity of the playa life where you can be sitting eatin...

I too saw a few more animals this year than before. Anyone come across the guy with chickens running around his camp?
