[i]The poopers were clean and abundant along the one street. Whoever it was too far to have to go most of the time. Can BM put more poopers out in more locals?[/i] the last year that the potties were way far more scattered (i can't even remember the year.. 99 maybe?) they were in the worst shape i h...

"Mebbe if y'all wouldn't take your time waking up on Monday, having a cuppa joe, sauntering to pack up the last bits LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, your exodus wait would be shorter. " sorry mama, i am sure you work very hard, but you can't generalize like this. we were up at dawn on monday breaking down our ...

that is deep, brah.

::pounds tecate::

red cans in cooler containing mexican piss sick of tecate can i have some booze? no, i don't have my own cup. i am entitled. "i love everyone, this is a utopia!" newbies are so cute. man is on fire! i have to take a big shit. ecstasy is fun! the base gets bigger and the man keeps on shrinking put hi...

i would like to apologize to the guy who came up to my camp at 4am and started pissing a few feet away from where i was sleeping. i grabbed a high-powered led flashlight, rolled over, shone it directly on him and his little wang, and screamed, "DO NOT PISS HERE!" dude's face was pure shock and horro...

whatever stomach bug was going around was harsh as hell.. i know a bunch of dpw folks were out of commission the first part of the week. it didn't seem to be a common food/water issue because other people who were not affiliated with dpw ended up getting very ill as well. when our crew entered on sa...

julie, simmer down. no one is disagreeing with you. it sucks to get your shit puked and pissed on. you seemed bewildered that people would vomit on the playa. i agree with you that people get too fucked up and it is annoying. that is why i am extremely moderate in my substance use, because i do not ...

no, i don't think that the logo and art are mutually exclusive. however, i have no doubt that the logo has become a substitute for personal expression (which i consider to be fundamental to art). i cannot help but wonder what all of these swag/schwag gifters would have come up with if they didn't ju...

you watched american pie 2 and 3 IN YOUR TRAILER AT BURNING MAN??

oh, and - swag, shwag, and schwag are all acceptable spellings for promotional logo items. look it up.

"It gives us a sense of uniformity." creepy. "Don't make gifts and don't take them." i will continue to give and receive gifts - but not with the logo on them. "I love the art that comes out of peoples camps." i do, too. that's why it sucks that people are just painting the man on things instead of ...

"I can't believe you guys are complaining about people who gave up some of their playa party time to serve you."

uh, you're kidding, right? i don't know a single person who worked there for anything but the free ticket, loads of tip money, and free pills of ecstasy.

[i]Why would anyone puke at BM?[/i] you're new at this, aren't you? people injest massive quantities of drugs and alcohol and poorly-stored food all week long. not to mention the stomach virus which took out a ton of people. sorry to hear about the lady's car and hauler. someone who was so fucked up...

a sensitive newbchild rolled into our camp on friday encouraging us to protest the waffle burn, as it was "made from virgin woods from the pacific northwest."

we laughed pretty hard at that guy. if that wood was quality virgin material, than so am i.

whoa. your marijuana ticket story sounds completely bizarre. what happened when you unrolled your cigarette and showed the officers it was tobacco? as for the burning wood and materials.. welcome to the hedonistic, wasteful world of burning man.. not to mention america in a time where many have a lo...

this is why i have not stepped foot into center camp since 2002.

p.s. the coffee is shitty.

when i first hit the playa 8 years ago, the burning man logo seemed sacred. it wasn't until the next year that we saw someone wearing a shirt with the logo painted on it, and we recoiled with disgust. burning man seemed to be a respite from a commercialized world in which logos and symbols are const...

i joined the e-playa just to vent about this year's exodus. this was the most poorly orchestrated exodus that i have been a part of in my nine years of attendance. we left c and 4:00 at 11am, and did not exit the playa until 7pm. though the experience was enjoyable once i resigned myself to the long...
