Can't remember if this has been posted here or not.... If you live in Western Massachusetts (or Southern VT or Northern CT or Eastern NY)- I am starting a Valley Burners group in the Amherst/Northampton area. Basically for me, the Boston group is just too far to get to so I wanted a more local alter...

There is a new Burners group on Yahoo for people from Western Massachusetts, if anyone is interested.

Email me or PM me for info.

Is there anyone that had baby's that were conceived during Burningman? I have some friends that did. Their baby is awesome. who else had one.......really........it's all good Not showering for 3 days at a time, sleeping on a half-inflated air mattress, and having neighboring tents only a few inches...

i've had plenty of experience with those. I am not so sure they would hold up to 3 days of post hole digging, rebar pounding, screen and tarp hanging, 6 days of hard partying and then 1 day of rebar pulling. Although I guess you might not need it on that last day if yer buggin out. Suppose you coul...

The one they gave me at the gate for re-entry would have lasted a long time I'm sure. I only had to wear it for 24 hours, but I showered with it and it held up fine.

Writsbands are not going to stop a determined underaged person from drinking but they CAN stop me from willingly serving them and make it more difficult for them to obtain inebrieants. While I am interested in seeing to the health and welfare of minors, I am also interested in keeping my own ass ou...

I just want to add, that just because I think the wristbands could work doesn't mean I condone it. we brought an 18 year old to Burning Man, and he drank our beer. I didn't serve him, but I didn't stop him from opening the cooler either. I don't think that wristbands or law enforcement is going to s...

Just give wristbands ... green for > 21, yellow for 18>21, red for < 18 but I like the color coded roofing nails applied bindi style to the forehead with the pneumatic nail gun better. This could work! Do it at the gate as people come in. Those wristbands that they give for re-entry would be perfec...

It just dawned on me that if we are even having the conversation about if kids should be allowed to go then something is fundamentally broken. Maybe it is a breakdown of basic values ... free expression means doing things that kids can't see? Do we have such a desire for the extreme that we don't g...

Yes, I think you said that already. The tricky part is- do you want the Sox to play against the Yankees or the Twins?

of course. who else would it be?

hello all - especially unjon harley- the lovely folks at med camp have asked me to share that any interested in the crutch project or with offers (such as unjon) please email them at 911@burningman.com . Do they need Icepacks? or slings? or wheelchairs? I'm sure that they are adequately supplied wi...

Anyone here from Hot Wheels camp?

Just a guess.. if you had been injured seriously enough to be taken to Reno in an ambulance for xrays etc, you may have gotten crutches from the hospital there. oddly enough, most hospitals don't issue crutches. They generally tell you buy or rent them at the pharmacy. It would seem a resonable req...

Another thought... there was a camp called Hot Wheels that was all about folks in wheelchairs. They might be interested in donated wheelcha...

Okay campers - I want to quote almost all of you, but just don't have the wherewithall or the patience for all that right now... I brought my eldest twice - first when she was 4, then when she was 6. Went alone last year (whole different experience, for sure) and I plan to bring both my now 7yo and...

who's Heather Graham?

I didn't know either but did a Google search. She's an actress. Among other things, she played "Felicity" in Austin Powers movie. Cute maybe, blonde maybe.

Overhydration is possible. This year I drank, and drank, and drank water. But after a bike ride out to the temple and back, I was still dizzy and hot and not well. Two drink boxes of Gatorade and some rest in the shade settled me down somewhat. But water alone is not the answer. I HATE Gatorade, but...

Next year just take I-80 all the way! And have 2 drivers instead of 1. You'll make much better time. The speed limits go up as you get further out west, and there are good truck stops on 80 too.

I can't speak for anyone else. I saw some burners pulled over between Wadsworth and the gates of Burning Man and did not stop to help anyone. I personally travel with a AAA card in my wallet for those types of emergencies. Seriously though, my vehicle was overloaded and the passengers had been coope...

the only really disturbing thing about my burning man experience this year: me and a friend of mine ended up tripping without having taken any kind of illegal drug and it didn't seem like it was just from exhaustion or alcohol. we were partying in the evening when we both pretty much simultaneously...

that sounds awesome! broad daylight when we crossed it, and not nearly as impressive. I do like the solar-powered rest rooms though (in Wyoming).

Met some guys in Winnemucca who felt they had a long ride home going to Colorado... sorry guys. Our vehicle had Connecticut plates on it, and they shut up fast. Oh you definitely had the longer drive... I do not envy you that. However our drive starts in a boring place and continues on through anot...

1600 miles? Piece of cake! What's the matter with ya? Probably took you about a day and a half, right? My apologies DangerMouse... I should have kept reading to see that you live in Iowa. Iowa is a time warp. It feels like it should be a tiny state, and yet it seems to never end. Feels bigger than ...

I liked it also, but unfortunately none of my photos came out. Anyone who has some good photos of BattleZone is welcome to email them to me. Please! I'd love to show them around to friends who are BattleZone fans. Thanks for posting this. I had totally forgotten to ask. Those art cars looked so cool.

Now if only I didn't have that 1600 one-way drive. Ugh! Or if perhaps I was in better command of english... Please insert the word 'mile' in there somewhere above.

Last year I bought coffee a couple of times. This year I brought my own and didn't buy a bit of it. When I was too lazy to make it myself, there was a campmate who had some, and when I was too lazy for that, I had some of the iced coffee that comes in cans on hand. And that was good even when it was...
