This may tread on the edge of the No-Commerce Edict of the forum, but hear me out.... For two years, I had spent roundabout $3000 to print out hardcopies of my Playa Cookery, all of them handed out or left for distribution in Center Camp Cafe and Points Beyond. Over the past two years since, I've ha...

Seems some folks were asking for this, and unfortunately, the one email account I set up for this is deleted, and the link went down, and, well, here's a new link for the pdf: http://www.box.net/shared/fvj9aka4m4

I vote for the replacement of the Temple with a Biotech Research Facility - everyone can place a sample of biological material in the BRF, the fuse is lit, and we all watch the fun.

I've seen at least three unconfirmed green bikes tucked into racks or stacks on RVs on the road from Reno to SF on Monday - maybe it was and maybe it wasn't, but human nature for opportunistic nicking of things that ain't bolted down colors my judgment. I like the idea of some kind of reflective ide...

I for one thank you and commend your efforts - lamplighting in the wind must have been a 24-carat pain in the arse....

I always thought hearing hippies cry would be more amusing....

Craigslist is a source....

I shot C-41 process black/white last year and it came out pretty good - this year I have one camera loaded with black/white and another loaded with color, both at 400 speed. Keep them bagged when not in use and avoid swapping out lenses. Your flash may end up being a problem, as the light will catch...

Boobie.

Presenting your sad and useless posting of the hour.... Last year I was shocked, shocked I tell ya, to moop an empty Newcastle can off the street, and I vowed to bring my own case this year. Well, life got underfoot, and I ain't got no Newcastle yet. The two BevMos nearby don't have them, but their ...

I'm loosely affiliated with Historical Marker #65 at 3:45 and The Wheel, but being so close to constant foot traffic terrifies me, so I'll be off somewhere roundabout 5 and B or C....

The way I heard it, the Man Krew got caught putting a LED face on the Man that looked like DaBomb, and Crimson said fuckit, everyone out of the pool....

Thanks to all who have emailed contributions - the Second Edition of Playa Cookery is going to the printers this week, and a few hundred editions are going to be at hand for distribution, mostly at Center Camp Cafe and Various Bars that I wander into. Hope to see y'all there....

15. You live in a burner shed.

12. You are walking somewhere in the default world and suddenly stop in your tracks because something in the air smelled like playa....

Rule Number One - if you can't stand to lose it, don't bring it to the playa. Beyond that, I took a 35mm SLR and a couple of bags of 35mm disposable cameras last year - I used only a single lens on the SLR, never changed it the entire time, kept a ziploc around in case of sudden winds, and always wa...

I'm more savory than savvy....

Thanks all for the comments, both here and emailed - the snark was less helpful, but to be expected. The plan is to run off a few hundred copies and spread them around a few at a time over the course of the BM week, so if you see someone surreptitiously dropping booklets around Center Camp Cafe or m...

The Coleman Roadtrip (and similiar grills) are halfway between a stove and a gas grill. Just looked this up - looks interesting - lighter than a conventional gas grill, without the need for a table with standard camping stoves. I've heard of bagging the bagged ice, will have to figure out a place t...

So last year, as a gift, I wrote up a Playa Cookery book, printed out about a hundred copies, and dropped off handfuls of them at Center Camp Cafe and the various bars that I staggered into. They all seemed to vanish (the copies, not the bars) rather quickly, and one assumes they were used for their...

Seems there are already plans afoot....

I was rather fond of Bad Idea Theater in the 3:00 key - wonderful alcoholic punch, and bad movies on the big screen....

[quote="Toolmaker"][quote="burningflyer"][b]Paul Addis violated many of the BLM Special Stipulations for Burning Man Event. His actions and the possibility that others will emulate his behavior, threatens the possibility of future events on the Black Rock Desert for all of us. [/b] http://www.nv.blm...

If there was any lingering doubts....

Cap is right - the Man is built a good month in advance, stored in containers and left to dry out. Man 2.0 didn't get that chance, which is why 80 gallons of diesel fuel ignited in the base during the burn....

And bad movies. Neat!
