does anyone know about having holding tanks emptied from RV's? I"m wondering.........hopefully won't need it, but.....(pun?)........ As far as I've seen you just need to flag the trucks down that empty your holding tanks. They'll also fill you potable water. There is a fee involved... but we never ...

The title of the post made me thing y'all were going to play "keymaster" for the event. Sounds like a valuable service for those of us that generally leave our cars unlocked and tend to lose our keys. Then again, accidentally locking the car and having to get to the other side of the playa to get yo...

Shouldn't all those Jedis be responsible for the proper disposal of their own little plastic tags?

Since I'm a real nerd I'll also bring up that it's Princess "Leia".

Hooray for lightsabers. I got my own, so no moop from this padawan.

If only Plug4 would come back to the playa... that camp knew how to kick some hip hop.

Thanks for your tasty treats! We couldn't get enough of them.

Wow, human mobile!

There are tons of sticker making companies on the web that could make those for you. Most don't even require a minimum amount.

I haven't seen anyone do a suspension at Burning Man... but I'd assume it's been done before. The practice has been gaining popularity and there have been some recent stories about it on Discovery Channel or National Geographic. Though the idea of suspending myself by a couple of hooks sounds pretty...

You could set up a sweet ramp and jump the fence on your bike! But then there would be the problem of needing another ticket to get back in.

Take a ride out in the deep playa... you can get some alone time out there.

It's a bit late to be jumping into a theme camp as most of them have been working on projects together for months. You're more than welcome to walk up to any camp and offer assistance if you've got the inclination. Since you've got all your equipment I suggest finding an empty space and setting up s...

Hey there aserendipitous one. There will be lots of art cars and buses out there for you to choose from. It's usually best to walk up to a stopped vehicle and check with the driver as to their destination and whatnot. The larger vehicles are usually easier to bum rides from... but don't count on get...

It kinda sucks that mutant vehicles get judged at all. Any other (non-funded, non-theme) piece of art you bring out there isn't subject to aesthetic judgement. I'm willing to accept safety analysis of vehicles, fire art, etc. But to deny someone's exhibition of their art because it isn't "amazing" e...

When they ask if they can borrow your bike every day because they forgot to bring one This guy in our camp did me one better... he borrowed my antique Raleigh Twenty and left it on the other side of the playa. Then he didn't bother to go back and get it. By the time I got fed up and went to retriev...

Thanks to delachaux on tribe for this... and Kevin for making the easy printable version

Yeah! Vinyl rules, CDs drool!! Why do I have such a hard time getting into music being spun on CD? Am I as bad as those folks dissing on DJs in general? Just one step behind? There's just something about the sound and the way things mix on vinyl that makes the music more exciting to me. That and the...

Jeez, now I feel all bad for poking fun at a particular style of electronic music that I don't prefer. Sorry Lee, I'm sure you've got skills! I would like to comment on the constant attacks on DJs as legitimate musicians and artists. Spinning records well is not easy and brings pleasure to millions ...

Yes, they will generally refill your potable water when they empty the holding tanks.

Warning: Do not count on this for your drinking water! The guys are often stretched pretty thin and may not get to you when you expect them.

DJ Who? Oooh, cheesy euro club house.

Get your words outta my techno!

Before Nervous Nelly and the Safety Patrol show up I'd just like to say that placing art on the playa is not a right granted only to the well-prepared pre-planners. The only problems you'll encounter are when you drive the truck off the ring roads and out onto the open playa. Of course whoever cares...

I think I may have answered my own question

Keep an eye on www.craigslist.org and check the RV section. Most are for sale, but I've seen rentals in there as well. You might also try the Sacramento, Tahoe/Reno craigslist pages as well and pick up the RV on the way.

My preferred method of using the ipod in camp is to use one of those RF (radio frequency) adapters and a boombox. This way you can keep the ipod in a vehicle or somewhere else safe and relatively dust free. You also eliminate the need for any power except batteries... until you need to charge your i...

I don't know what this candy-caning has to do with preventing its future use. We've been using the same candy cane rebar since '02. We always have stuff to stake down. I have never found the canes difficult to pound into the playa... and they're extremely easy to remove since you've got something to...

We built a PVC dome in 2002 and used a parachute that was too small to come all the way down to the ground. It ended up being the best mistake we could have made! The parachute didn't catch as much wind since it was more like a yarmulke on the dome. The wind was also free to pass through the space a...

Damn that's a good idea. 8 years on the playa and I'm still learning simple and effective things like this.

thanks!!

I'm surprised to read so many posts (here and in other threads) that include threats of sabotage against sound systems. Personally I have no trouble sleeping in loud areas, but I figured those that can't would find more peaceful and imaginative ways of dealing with it. Earplugs, though not too imagi...

A huge bag of homemade beef jerky.

No cosmic connection... other than I love beef jerky.

My humble recommendations Don't buy drugs on the playa! They're overpriced and generally low quality ('cause they're from SF, zing!). The LE presence and lack of privacy also increases your chances of getting busted (bad) and giving the event a bad rap (badder). If you're an experienced user you sho...

Do not anger the robots with your tales of analogue supremacy. We know you still need our precious electrons to broadcast your lies. I'm quite sure the automatons and I would have enjoyed your wobbly string performance. Instead we will dance with the DJs to protest against the sour nature of your po...
