Not GGW, Voyeur Video

As I recall, girls gone wild did come to the playa, and got sued as result... Anyone else remember this? That was Voyeur Video. They were sued. http://archives.cnn.com/2002/LAW/08/26/ctv.burning.man/ But, finding naked pictures and video from Burning Man is getting easier and easier. More reason to...

Porn saves the world

By the way, is it OK to use porn for fundraising? Maybe, get a bunch of friends to set up a webcam porn site, like I heard was done to benefit Katrina victims?

Value

If I buy a ticket to an event, e.g., a Rolling Stones concert, the band is rehearsed, the sound man rings out the monitors, the back-up singers are union scale, and I am "consuming" a product that has been entirely composed by the professionals earning the money. They pay rent on the venue, hire nec...

Blue Mountain

This is 75 miles from Gerlach near Winnemucca-- the power lines would run from the power plant to existing power lines, which I believe are owned by Sierra Pacific. This project will not use the power lines that the coal plant planned to tap into, and the power is to be sold to Nevada customers. I'm...

hey neat...

"Darryl VanRhey" is an anagram of "Larry Harvey." Kinda. Actually, Larry + "D," Harvey + "N." Hmmm... some sort of riddle! FUN! Darth Nader? Anyhow, I'm with Chicken that D.N. is a very clever fellow (or gal) and don't mind the occasional acerbic-flavored post. Everyone should be able to stand a lit...

Excuse me...

...but I just looked over the website and can honestly say it's a load of crap. Some of it has been well rebutted already-- Garrett Ranch has actually been improved by our activities there. The owners of the property are pleased with our improvements. "Dripping" diesel tank? Hardly. Not only has the...

Re: The burning man event is leaving TRACES

[quote="karasu"]The transect walks aren't doing any good if they aren't done honestly. You also have to be blind not to see all the structures left on the Playa after everyone leaves. These stay there for months. The drive out of the area is horrible; BurningMan LLC would be bankrupted if they were ...
