So it turns out that there is more than a couple of Burners in Nairobi. The first of what will hopefully be a monthly gathering is next week. Just started a FB group to connect everyone. I'm gonna attempt to pull off a Santacon this Christmas, then a couple of themed parties to raise money for local...

I know, it's an extreme long shot but if there are any Burners in Nairobi, Kenya, please get in touch. Even if you've found this a few years after it was posted. Hopefully, by the time you read this, I will have gathered a group of misfits for you to hang out with amid the conventional and unremarka...

Done! Wouldn't be Ticket Day without a racing heart. Looks like this this is now nostalgia.

Hope the main sale goes as smooth.

Lucky You. I'm still being told to come back at 12 noon!

Anyone with the passion to spend the time and effort required to submit an application for The Temple should have the opportunity to contribute to this year's temple. To this end, we're in the process of inviting the other crews to bring their particular skill sets and creativity to our project. We ...

It's been less than a week since we heard that we got The Temple after a long and anxious wait. The news sunk in quicker than expected but I'm still pinching myself and we've already been inundated with responses and offers of help. Designing and building the temple this year really is a rite of pas...

Yoba - just replied to your email with lots of ride share info.

Sounds like fun.

Megatropolis and Minitropolis will be there in miniature.

We've already made several scale models and burnt them. What's another one!

I look forward to seeing your camp in miniature including a tiny METROdome with a tiny scale model of BRC within it. It's microscope time!

I've managed to scrape some funds together and will be bringing a cooler too. I also intend to bring some concrete blocks and a varnished plank of wood for the pub bar. We'll put a curtain across the front and then we can hide the cooler behind the bar.

We're sooo gonna rock!

I just logged on for a little SL revision. My virtual bones are damn stiff as is to be expected after spending a year sleeping in a palm tree. Hey, we could all meet up one day! Perhaps there's a mutilated Barbie or virtual Star Shade we can all gather under for drinks. I go by the name Roamer Burne...

You could check out Burning Life . The gate opens at noon SLT on 17 Oct, but allow a good few hours to become acclimatised - choose your avatar, pick up some clothes, have a wander, learn how to dance and fly. The basics are quite self explanatory. I joined Second Life last year because I found out ...

Hagey did endure both the 2005 theft and 2007 RV fire through donations and insurance, and does indeed still burn. He camped with and supported Couchsurfing Camp this year, selling/lending the BRIBH shade tower to them. On playa, Hagey being Hagey, liking to keep options open and mobile, ended up ne...

Awwww Bless. Gyre learns something new every day.

Send your details to LetMeIn(at)euroburners.org

You'll probably be sent you a pdf version with directions to the venue and some info on some of the fun things to expect.

The postman ate a few of them apparently.

Most of the porta-potties at 3:00ish were zip-tied by Monday afternoon. They left a couple open in each set. I didn't see any queues when I was there. I left the playa on the Wednesday morning last year and the playa was very empty. I think the folks remaining were mainly DPW, center camp breakdown ...

For those of you not subscribed to Playadust, some early info. London Decom this year is on Friday 5th December and the party will run from 9:00pm to 6:00am. Venue is yet to be announced but it is spectacular, in central London and has LOTS of outdoor space too which means lots of flame fun. Tickets...

Kiwi - you know I'd love to be there but won't be able to make it to the other side of the planet for a couple of years. But when I do get there I'll make sure I'm there for a few months so I can get well and truly stuck in. For anybody that can get there - just go. Kiwis certainly know how to party...

OK, OK - my typo mistake - I'm still jet-lagged as I only returned a couple of days ago. Here goes - third time lucky: 31 Aug to 6 Sep. Yes I know 7 Sep is Labor Day in the US and Exodus Day to the rest of us but I've never considered this part of 'the week'. Perhaps it's a cultural difference or ju...

As much as I love Burning Man, over a month of stimulation would have me going slightly mad and besides I'd be wafer thin.

So that'll be 1201am 31 Aug to 1159pm 6th Aug. Although if you're lucky the playa party begins days earlier and ends days later.

It's always the week prior to Labor Day. So that'll be Mon 1st August to Sunday 6th September.

Hiya Cookie, glad you had a great virgin Burn. Let's face it; if you can't have a great time at BRC then there's not much hope for you as a human being. As you're based in London you'll be able to get your fix of Burners throughout the year. There's a fortnightly gathering at Burning Pub and various...

For every journalist that doesn't get it and spreads negativity about the event, fortunately there's another that does get it:

What a question to ask on here! I'm getting the cult logo inked on my wrist soon, mainly as a way to identify myself as a Burner to others while out and about in the world. I'd be happy to make a template for you in Illustrator. In the meantime, here's a couple of links for inspiration or just to se...

Well, here's wishing you all a good 'un!

I'm off home.

Via a damn long flight and a few days in Sparks prepping camp but on the playa Friday. Whoooo hooo!

Here's a link to my online DIY gift for this year that you can download. http://alanhubbard.com/gifts.html http://alanhubbard.com/elements/playadiary08.jpg It's a pocket-sized diary that neatly folds together into a book format. You can use it to record your favourite playa moments and keep track of...

I'll be adding a couple of CCTV cameras to the entrance of Brit Camp but they'll just be empty boxes with a red LED attached.

I would add a flashing speed camera too but hardly anybody would recognise what it was.

I know somebody that sometimes wears underwear on the playa and has a penchant for pink too.

If you think individuals would benefit from the particular, honed advice from the BRIBH members, then point people in the direction of last year's BBS which is still available to view here and contains much advice and tips for foreign virgins. There is also the BRIBH Resource Wiki which is still you...

Sad News The BRIBH is cancelled for 2008 so please don't send anymore international virgins our way. Details can be found here . Good News Hagey, Kiwi, Irish and the others that are the stressed backbone of the BRIBH can enjoy a well earned, long overdue, relaxed, chilled Burn with no responsibilit...
