Oh, dear old trolls, I haven't read since my last post. Your pitchforks have dull or broken teeth, and your torches are burning out. Trolling is much more epic in my circles, but I imagine we probably owe much inspiration to your work in the 90's. So, out of respect for you, I will pretend to be cha...

I had no prior expectation of such, but for me the tone was definitely set when the greeters told me that yet another additional law enforcement agency was patrolling the even this year, with their own art cars. And I saw it everywhere and it really made an impression on me. Mmm bacon. My favorite r...

Cool post, bro.

I smell a troll, lulz.

2010 Burning Man theme should be: COPS. Fucking cops everywhere. Cops strolling the streets en masse after sunrise, looking for paraphernalia left in conspicuous locations by careless partiers. So many cops at night along the esplanade, a different set from a different agency was huddled every few p...

Irrelevant. They didn't show.

I would respectfully disagree swampdog. They hate attention. They thrive on operating under the guise of an obscure religion that most people don't know much about. The Volunteer Ministries passes itself off as a disaster relief organization. They offer zero first aid or supplies. The entire goal is...

You guys do know their total sham "Volunteer Ministries" camp is going to be at Burning Man this year, yes? I plan to be dedicating a good couple of hours per day standing outside their camp with a bullhorn and handing out fliers. Would love to hook up with anyone else who wants them to know that wh...

Problem Solved, but in the event I discover pink paint causes testicular cancer, what other things might work?

I'm at Entheon Village this year, which has some 200-250 people camping there. I want to do something so my friends can find me in that huge camp. I'm in a friend's RV this year. So far I haven't come up with anything. I keep thinking some kind of tower would be great but I dunno. I probably can't b...

Thanks but yeah they don't do rental.

This year I'm trying things a little differently and joining some friends in their rented RV. I thought getting insurance would be a snap, but not so. I have a spotless record but I don't own a car and therefore don't have any auto insurance. I can't find any place that will cover me for the duratio...

Two things, forgive me if they've been said (tl;dr) 1. I have a friend who feels a bike detracts from the experience. He takes great pleasure from walking everywhere, and the reason is obvious to all who have been. Every block has a bar waiting for you to slide up to and have water or an adult bever...

Sorry if this was mentioned, but there is always a kind soul or two setting up free phonecalls on the playa. Check the center bulletin boards for clues.

A beloved instrument, reward for return.

Not a big deal but I'll give you a reward if I can get it back.

Okay, I'm very new to Burning Man which partly makes me feel like I'm not qualified to have an opinion on this, but after reading that the Discovery Channel is being allowed to film their latest cheezy gimmick "The Tattoo Hunter" at the event, I'm signed on to the protest.

Last year was my first Burning Man, and Piss Clear is one of the memories that stands out. When we were all feeling like crap, too much heat, too much partying, too much time away from creature comforts, we'd pick up your issue and have a good belly laugh and some good conversation out of it. I'm re...

I'm honestly just trying to decide if I would agree and want to protest with this group. I hope it's not a hijack of the thread.

That is a good point. Is that the sole reason? Those cells are helping to power the event. Is that different from an artist getting a grant, and writing off expenses?

When I first saw this thread, I was nauseated at the thought of Cingular and Miller Beer in a place that would seduce all with free air conditioning and free catering. But then I googled it and found at http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2007/07/01/100117064/ "Clean-tech comp...

My friend Jim is going to Burning Man this year. He's a loving, charming, fun, hard-working bear of a gay man in San Francisco. I'm trying to help him hook up with a gay camp or group for this year. You don't know me but I and many, many others can attest that any group would benefit from having Jim...

I love you guys, whoever you are. So there.

This really is a devisive issue. I saw a couple of people with small children playing by their camps and I thought it was fine, but my friend Angela strongly objected. I had to wonder what we were doing that was so wrong-- adults having fun and being creative and free, in essence playing. What, you ...

Thanks for the warm welcome, Rabbi. I have enjoyed my time on the forums, getting to interact with the veteran burners. I hope to get to know some of you someday.

These are great, thank you for sharing them. I really like your focus on the beautiful people of BM.

Your photography is exquisite, thank you.

nevermind, wallet was found.
