We had a tiny tiny theme camp this year. Three people until Tuesday, and then three more joined us for a whopping total of six. We were supposed to have more members, so we had a hard time keeping it properly open and interactive as much as we wanted to, but we tried to make up for it by bringing al...

I assumed that was a intentional prank, and I thought it was hilarious! I've seen Daft Punk live twice, and I've seen Verboten play Daft Punk CDs. If I closed my eyes I would have a hard time telling the difference. We always tell everyone we see that Paul Oakenfold is playing a super secret show wi...

Thanks to the Hotel Bar (the name started with an A, sounded Indian, can't remember it) on 7:30 and B. The amount of organization that went into putting that together boggles the mind. We had a great time. Thanks to the sluts at Slutgarden for the awesome new threads, the kickin' parties, and the gi...

My only trip to the med tent this year was when myself and a campmate carried a very dehydrated first timer there to get hooked up to an I.V. While we were waiting we saw several people come in, all with nasty slide burns. Kinda ruined my enthusiasm for going down the slide later that day... I'm sti...

None of the really cool burners actually watch the man burn. That's newbie stuff. The real party is out about a mile past the trash fence where Paul Oakenfold, DJ Dan, Daft Punk, and every other awesome techno DJ ever play a ten hour set starting at 11:30pm on Friday. They give out free glowsticks a...

We wound up vacuu-sealing portions of all the meals and just throwing them in a pot of boiling water when we were ready to eat. Worked brilliantly, and we will definitely be doing it again this year. I highly recommend it, because you can eat your food straight out of the bag, which means the only d...

Hmmm... It's been a while. Let me rack my brain for what might send Simon over the edge here... So Burning Man totally isn't the way it's supposed to be anymore. I mean, why do we have to burn stuff. That's like, sooooo bad for the environment. Burning Man was started by a bunch of peace-loving hipp...

I still think C&J is a cool camp, but I do miss the way things used to be there. Back in '04 I met a nice girl on the playa and after a night of semi-naughty fun we didn't feel like walking all the way back to camp. C&J was right by us and it was an awesome place to cuddle up and catch some sleep wh...

I spent two days working there and it was the highlight of my week. I would've spent more time there but I was dealing first with a very sick girlfriend and then with a very sick me, and I couldn't make it all the way across the giant playa for a couple of days. I will definitely be back to work som...

Because I just got all my rage for the day out on some idiot hippie in a separate thread I will give you the totally serious answer you seek: Burning Man is always a week long, and it always ends on Labor Day. So, figure out when labor day is in 2009, and BM will start a week before that. We now ret...

Good lord, Burning Man is not some doped up hippie love-fest where we all sit around pounding drums and balancing our chakras. Burning Man is a fucking party in the middle of the fucking desert. It's different things to different people, and only an idiot would assume that everyone there is showing ...

There was another bad one on Sunday night. We left right before the Temple burn and got stuck at a dead stop for about an hour just outside of Empire. Looked to be three cars involved but it was really hard to tell. I'm having a rough time finding any solid info about any of the wrecks this year tho...

You can also just make up a camp name before you leave, make sure everyone knows it, and put your location in Playa Info under that name. All the years I went out without a theme camp the early arrivals would give everyone a general idea of the area they were shooting for (i.e. as close to 3:30 and ...

Re: The dust problem - worse than you think
My aunt lives in Reno and she tells me that the dust there is out of control. If they have to close the casinos in Reno, the BLM will not allow the even to open Sunday night. Ummm... I live in Reno and there's no noticable change in overall dustiness over the past month. It was super SMOKY here las...

If you were a smoker you would fully understand the risk/reward ratio. I just think it's a little ridiculous how much smoking has been demonized in this country over the past decade or so. I'm not arguing that it's not bad for you or anything, but if people are that concerned over heart health they ...
