I do remember seeing somewhere a listing of the music lineup for Hookahdome and haven't found it yet. I'm interested in knowing who the cellist who played Tuesday or possibly Wednesday night. I believe he tried to tell me to remember something he spoke but no, my mind just wasn't in that sort of spa...

Last year for the Thunderdome so I hear. And I totally managed to miss the whole TD thing this year too. Isn't that one about ten years old now?

NETI POT. works wonders. doesn't keep the dust out of your lungs but it keeps your sinuses kleen!! Smart water bottle is a little better. It's sealable, squeezable for when you need a little pressure and if your fingers are slippery from all the goobers you're blowing out of your cranium, it won't ...

Just as everyone has mentioned, the playa has away of inflating any issues that already exist.

JUMP IN. Go if you have the gutz. No time to start living but the present.

alternators only make their rated amperage at high rpm, at lower rpm they definitely put out less amps. 65 amps isn't a huge alternator. aess.com is an alternator site that I got a catalogue in the mail for. I saw lots of listings for 90 amp alternators. If you want 130 amps from one alternator, you...

The playa is a crucible. It will melt you down. It could refine you into a gem. It is a magical cauldron filled with the energies of thousands of people, their hopes, dreams, addictions, attitudes, angels and demons, in a freed environment without most of the normal societal stabilizing structures. ...

Aluminet shade cloth.

Keeps out a lot of IR
Allows lots of airflow.
Allows some level of seeing through.
Not terribly cheap but it's light and won't tax the flimsy structure of your average camping tent either from its weight or wind drag.

really nice stuff

Fun idea about the turntable. You could possibly buy a damaged excavator and put the turntable into your frame. Your bus might weigh 15,000 lb and a whole medium sized excavator might weigh similar. There are equipment auctions available all over the country and equipment selling sites. A cheap, sma...

What you should have told him when you took his keys ws
"SHUT UP, YOU'RE RUINING MY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE"
and then we'd all be calling this the Best experience on the playa instead of going 'round and 'round sniping at each other.

LED's take about 1/20th or 5% of the electricity that incandescent bulbs do to produce the same lumens. Old statistics but I believe them. Flourescents take about 1/5 or 20% of the electricity that incandescents do but require a transformer. LED's should be the best even if they're way more expensiv...

geez, this is like the tenth time I misread the name of this thread as: "Drugs at burningman" and the second time I even opened the thread wondering what it was about. And I'm one of those oddballs who has significant disdain for drugs, their use, proliferation or presence. and on topic I saw 2 butt...

Howdy, folks. I found plastic glow in the dark stars at the local X-Mart. What would you think of those if you received a set strung together as a sort of BRC lei? Now, ideas for next year I only considered for this year but didn't even get started on: Please, y'all lemme know how these ideas sound...

I fell asleep on top of the 100 foot oil derrick awaiting the sunrise. I can't even GET TO THE FOOT of the local 100 foot water tower, much less climb it, much less sit on top of it without the police and HomelandDefense comming to the rescue, much less feel safe enough to doze off on a tower with n...

We've SO got to make a creative new slogan/mantra regarding potty use after this.
Smiley's revenge?
United Services sez FORK U!

Maybe next year the only people who get to pooh are the ones who bring their own RV's

Hopefully someone's more creative than I

Transformus, the NC regional burn banned both class A rv's and 5th wheel trailer rv's mainly for land protection reasons. This still allows smaller trailers that can be towed via hitch, as well as pickup type campers and small van campers. I was biking around on Landfill and noticed repeatedly that ...

I'm surprised and disappointed that the art theme has been announced mere days after the event. I'm surprised and disappointed at what the announced theme is as well. Both smack so heavily of executive decisions by the Org formulated in backroom discussions and nothing of participation or public opi...

Is this an obtuse crack at the www guide including a name of the author? I was totally baffled at the www guide and hence gave up and attended no scheduled events, but I do concede that the author may have been trying to pack in 4x more contents that the book appeared to try to hold. darn sure bette...

Make a required online quiz on the survival guide. The questions should be randomized so there's no key. A confirmation code should be printed with the person's name that must be presented with ID prior to receiving tickets. Since tickets are considered a "revocable license" there should be a test ...

something to add for large congregations/burns: Bike Perimeter and Art car perimeter. Make some plywood cutouts in the shape of various looking bicycles and attach them to something similar to a lamplighter spire. Place these 100/200 feet from the person burn perimeter. This way we #1 won't be tripp...

clickies biotch or it's just another eplaya epeen epixle pack of hot air

do you know where you were? Do you really know where you are? do you know where you are going? they are all the same I can whine as well as anyone how the scene has changed, but the pure power of the playa, and the pure power of ?50?,000,000 human souls and 50,000,000 guardian angels working togethe...

The red bus will be on the West edge of town to avoid the dust kicked up by everyone walking around in town. This will probably require extra rebar for the wind breaks not provided by the rest of town.

Although my first thought when I looked at your post was "regionals" really, if you're that inspired, you're just in time to start preparing a well thought out well built art project. "Burningman" is a week event literally, but for many, it's the year of preparation like marathon training that is th...

Well the Playa is a crucible. A powerful cauldron that amplifies all of your thought, emotion, physical, spiritual energy in a town full of love and open possibilities. What HAPPENINGS you could miss could fill a huge and widely variable list that noone could really describe for you. By arriving lat...

buy a cheap painter's coveralls and make a cape and mask and label yourself CAPTAIN HANGOVER and go around in the morning with a bullhorn purveying your elixir. Not to rib you about your closed business, but it's BRC and not Tahoe. Do something creative rather than recycle or resurrect your old busi...

What ever happened to "There will be no commerce allowed on the playa and there are no services at Black Rock City other than volunteer organized EMS and Ranger and other volunteer groups. Comming to town to get paid cash to haul off someone's human refuse is DEFINITELY commerce. I'd rather have RV'...

Wow! I thought it was some sort of joke.

I like how they're all going to be black and be labled YELLOW in red paint...

I've been hoofing it the last few years not having room to stash a bike in my econobox for the 2,500 mile oneway. Now I'll finally get to ride!
Wow I'm happy.

First year we went to the playa we bought three enema bags and made straps to wear them with. sorta tasted funny ... guess we should have washed them out before we used them but a couple people just loved them and were amazed they hadn't seen the idea used before but for what, eight bucks? they prov...

More like my significant other went to Hawaii on vacation and decided permanently not to return. Helping manage her remote house sale as well as moving her stuff and finding and entering a new residence has occupied the majority of my summer and industry. My newyears declaration was BRC come hell or...

Lol! I'm in a similar boat with a dome and my old campmates aren't comming. I'm thinking that with the high levels of dust this year, any sort of structure will be a great place to have small camping tents take refuge. I've got a 24 foot 3v. If any camp is really wanting said infrastructure, give me...
