I was thinking along those lines myself. Radical Self-Reliance!

I was wondering, is it still the case that if you arrive at the gate with a person who has an invalid ticket (fake, duplicate, etc.) that the gate staff will insist that you leave with the person and return them to Reno? If so, that seems like a big disincentive to gift a ride to someone you do not ...

Great advice! Welcome to ePlaya!

I didn't see Twerk or Twerking hit the list (fortunately or unfortunately depending on your point of view). I thought it was disturbing to see words like "artist" and "participation" dropping in usage while "drink", "dance" and party" increased in usage over the last 9 years. I certainly have nothin...

Just wondering what folks consider essential to have when exploring the playa. My list: Canteen, spork, cup, sunscreen (daytime only), small flashlight (always), leatherman tool, dust mask or small scarf. Small amounts of military theme swag (like actual vintage occupation currency, soviet-era milit...

Lastly I compared the What, Where, When guides from years ago and there used to be an intelligent atmosphere of camps with puns and well thought out themes (remember Flight to Mars?). I compare this year’s guide and it has degraded to the lowest common denominator of genitals, drinks, and allures o...

Ice cold Sol beer with lime or good 'ol PBR. Perfect for hot day / all day drinking.

Dontflipmejack: While I appreciate your passion and understand your position, it was your responsibility as a radically self-reliant participant to research the camp before you decided to join them. Even if you have done your due diligence, there is always some risk involved when joining a new group...

Unfortunately, I have to change the title of this thread to “Have Sno Kones but Not Going to the Playa Because of BS Beyond My Control.” Just sold my ticket and won’t waste time ranting here about things I cannot change. Rather, I want to apologize to those camps that were looking forward to offerin...

We had a full party with Beau our pink elephant tonight. It got rave reviews. Everyone loved it. I think it will be a hit on the playa. Do you have any sno kones we could rename a pink elephant for our Thursday gathering? I have cherry, blue bubblegum, lemon, grape, and tiger blood flavors. None of...

We can split the time. Typically I get rushed for the first 30-60 minutes and then it dies down. No problem.

Updated Schedule: THURSDAY: (1pm-5pm) “Going Mobile” – roaming the playa on Beau LePhant (Start at Camp Upsie Dasium, 6:30/A at 1 pm). THURSDAY: (6pm - ?) Barbie Death Camp – eplaya meet and greet – at 3:30 and E. FRIDAY Late morning /early afternoon OPEN (prefer a camp on west side of city) FRIDAY:...

Dadara: I am going to hijack your thread

Dadara - the D.B.Cooper of Banking?

Dadara - are you planning anything for Saturday morning / early afternoon? I will gladly accept zero bills for my sno kones. We can have people 'earn" nothing bills by performing random acts of stupidity, playa de-mooping, whatever. They can then exchange those bills for icy-cold refreshment. Let me...

OK gang - you didn't ask for it but here it is anyway: Tentative Mallet Sno Kone Schedule: THURSDAY: (1pm-5pm) Anniversary and 6:30 (to be confirmed with Galaxo Magic) THURSDAY: (6pm - ?) Barbie Death Camp – eplaya meet and greet – at 3:30 and E (to be confirmed) FRIDAY Late morning /early afternoon...

Part of my gifting for the playa is providing sno kones to theme camps in order to support their parties, meet and greets etc. All I need is access to a genny, ice (i get 3 kones per pound of cubed ice), a clean table and one or two reliable helpers who take food safety seriously. I'll bring the com...

I have two gallons of cherry syrup. The whipped cream vodka could go very nicely . . . . Good thinking Red.

oooohhhhhh - I forgot the Barenjaeger sno kones. Must add to list. They were gooooooood. I was going to get some bubblegum flavored vodka and mix it in with the bubble syrup.

I am amazed that - aside from my fellow Terminal City citizens reminding me about the eplaya M&G - not a single camp has taken me up on my offer. Sno kones go over big every time I set up shop. I thought I would get swamped with camps that would want a visit. Where (dare I ask) did I go so wrong?

AntiM - I always get the permit just to be safe (don't want to get shut down because I am serving food to the public without a permit). I also do it to let people who are receiving my sno kones know that I am taking their safety seriously. It may only be ice and sugar but you can still manage to mak...

Love the look of those bills. Really do. I just kicked in a little bit more to your campaign on indiegogo. I wish you the best of luck with this project!

I was wondering if any Brooklyn-based Burners needed someone to care for their pet or would be willing to sub-let their apartment while they were on the playa. My wife wants to explore Brooklyn while I am at the Burn and I thought this might be good way for her to do it. PM me if you are interested....

Great. Poetry readings. Do we at lest get a firing squad? If someone starts reading shitty poetry I will be firing Atari Teenage Riot at them with a megaphone. There's a local regional camp that has a "soapbox." One time, so very tired of hearing people talk about love and finding yourself and shit...

Great ideas everyone - many thanks. Everything from kill switches to cigarette burns. Your comments are really helping me frame out the practical aspects of MV construction. Does anyone else have words of wisdom on MV construction? If not, then I would like to hear what specific things make an MV fu...

Now we are talking. I would not have thought of having kill switch and/or lojack-type of unit on the vehicle. But now that you mention it, however, it seems really obvious. The cigarette burns are another obvious issue I had not fully thought of. I also like the lighting on the front sides for night...

As a non-MV owner, it seemed to me that many many (especially the big party MV) MVowners pass up burners looking for a ride because they do not fit their criteria. when was the last time you saw an uggo swinging from the stripper pole on that octopus? I have heard that complaint before. I also have...

I've ranted extensively about this subject and won't bore everyone again today... Actually, I would not mind being bored. I had no luck finding previous posts on this topic. Post the links or rant on as far as I am concerned. I am looking for any information that a new MV owner should know about be...

Amen brother! Hurting folks is not what I have in mind as I think about building a MV.
