Everything is packed. Today I went to open my carport box and like a jackass cut (2) 6 inch slits in the roof of the carport!!!! I feel so stupid. Anyone have any good ideas for fixing these? Tape? Which tape works? I dont have time or money to get a new roof....and so I have to use this one. What d...

Awesome. I had considered it early on....then moved on to something else. Eventually making it way harder and more complicated than it probably needs to be. AntiM's design should be great. Does the chicken wire ever sag? I have a lot of paintings to go on each 'panel'...and I am gonna have to test i...

Hi there, I am bringing 340 or so small paintings to the playa this year as gifts. They are each inspired by I a gift that I have given away everyday since last year's burn. I am looking to build a gallery to show all of the paintings together and then on friday gift them all away. Here is my proble...

Hi, My name is Joshypants. I created a project that I will be taking to burning man this year. Please check out my kickstarter video....and my blog. Hope to see you all there....please stop in and get a painting! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thegiftprolific/the-gift-prolific www.thegiftprolif...

TOTALLY! Gifting is about the experience shared between 2 (or more) parties. Not just gimme gimme gimme. But sometimes you cant control that....and offer your gift anyway. The best gifts though, I agree, come from meeting people and sharing time. Great point man!

Yeah right?!? Strange days indeed.

Lets pick 10,000 people at random....through application. Then we make them do like American Gladiators (playa style).....I.E. trash fence hurdles, climb the man, dodge art cars with no lights, escape the portas, slap-a-raver obstacle course, and lick stripper poles. The winners in each categories w...

HA HA HA HA...yeah I guess. I had no idea that so many other posts basically say the same thing. Sorry.
My bad.

I await my lashings!

Wow thanks for your snarky un-constructive bullplop. Not a valid point in the whole post.

You wanna cut out scalpers. It may not be 100% possible. But why would we not be printing names on tickets? It seems like if I want a ticket for me and my mom....or whoever. i know that mostly at the time of my purchase. If I want to transfer my mom's ticket I would pay a service fee to transfer it ...

Great topic. Gifting is very important to me. And this was clear and well thought out. I really like the line about backing out at any time! Great.

I like your plan man. Very cool.

I am a little upset at the whining going on....I understand that your camp didn't get 50 tickets. I get that you have gone to Burning Man like 80 times and that you bring the same old theme camp up there year after year. But is saying that "this year is the year of the spectator" really accurate? Be...

Thank you Lucky! You will have to stop by and get a painting!!!! Take care. See you on the Playa!

My name is Joshua Coffy. I am a 5 year burner. Next year I am bringing the Gift Prolific Project to the playa. Inspired by Burning Man and the nature of giving to the community, I have created a very cool art project. I am giving gifts away every single day. I started from last year's burn night and...

Its easy to sit back and say they should do this or do that......They are trying something out. They will learn the goods and bads of it and grow. Just like the city design change a few years ago...when Center Camp was huge and kind of confusing. The very next year they went back. That may happen he...

Wow, This thread has created quite a stir. I guess we only have to wait a few more days and it will mostly clear up. Hold your breathe, cross your fingers, prey, dance around naked, give gifts, stress out, eat, stress out some more.....It will all be handled. The one thing I like about the 'new proc...

I am extremely curious to know how many people registered for the 'Open Registration Main Sale' lottery. If there were 40,000 tickets did more than 20,000 people sign up? I think that Burning Man could release that number without creating any sort of scalper problem. So let us know...haw many people...

Thanks. It has been really fun so far. I can't wait to see how it takes shape on the Playa. Thanks for checking it out.

[quote="Simon of the Playa"]Joshy, you rock.[/quote]

Thank you Simon. I am glad you like the idea. Hope to see you there....Come by and get a painting.

Thanks for the tips. I hadn't thought of Chicken Wire walls....That could work well. I was thinking plywood with pretty sturdy stands. Inside a dome or a cool tent. I was going to build a cool sign, get in the WWW guide, and maybe hava canvas and some paints out front. I was also thinking about hold...

Anti M, I love your camp! I am creating my own art camp this year and am looking for a few pointers. Here is my camp idea....Right now I am making a small gift everyday. Then I make a small painting about each gift. At the end of one year (burn night 2012) I am going to give all of the paintings awa...

It's gonna be super fun. Just enjoy it.

In light of the Evolution Theme we bring you [b]Camp Natural Selection[/b]. We will be awarding our visitors with badges that show off to all the others that you are at the top of your gene pool for something. Like Best Boots on The Playa, Best Kiss, Best Piercings, Best Dirty Joke, etc. These award...

My wife and I are geocachers. We have been doing it here in San Francisco for two years. We would love to see some caches up in BRC or near there.

They are most definitely OPEN. I called them and talked to Phylis Day ( I believe that was her last name). Her and her husband are the owners of the Empire Store. She told me that she was surprised to hear that they were closed. But she did tell me that they were OPEN and working hard to be ready fo...

If you don't agree consider this.... Everything changes. Everything evolves. Your whole body changes daily. Nothing is actually the same as it was a second ago. The world is in a constant state of flux. So either evolve....roll with it or don't go. I have very little compassion for all of you that a...

No matter how you slice it, the guy is still in the wrong. And he is too chicken shit to accept the facts that he screwed up. 1) No reading of the rules. 2) Driving around like an idiot complaining about getting kicked out of the hot springs. 3) Engaging a Ranger with a megaphone. 4) Running over sa...

Like you said....Something to work with. There are a lot of ideas that can come out of this. I am super excited already about the new theme....I can't wait to see what happens...and we got more than 300 days to go. ha!
