Yeah I guess I could build it in any Home Depot parking lot, as long as my ride isn't in a rush...

Yeah the Monkeyhut instructions were simple to follow. And yeah, I'd prefer knowing that the structure will last more than once... "Tacoed" was a term my friend enlightened me to: it means that the winds keep hitting on the long face and squishing the tent along its longitudinal axis. So it looks a ...

I have LOTS of camping experience. I have almost no woodcraft experience. We're not all hard labourers... everyone has their strengths, and making shit from scratch and building is not one of mine. I would appreciate some actual input into this rather than continuously insulting me. Clearly you have...

Dragonpilot: and that would hold up in windstorms if pegged with galvanized screws/rebar?? It looks about the same fabric as my tent...is it that shape that gives it integrity, or am I missing something? Bob: so then you would suggest what? I'm having a hard time following your logic. I've already s...

^Thanks, and me neither!

Thanks actually, that looks awesome!!

Only problem is the pipes from Home Depot in Canada cost $15 each. Home Depot in the US = $3 each.
Just need to find another place to buy it so I can test-build it!

I have a *huge* tent: 11 ft squared and about 7 feet tall. I had it with me in 2009 and it "tacoed" quite a few times. It was not my first year but I also was foolish enough not to have a shade structure. Once my tent was parked inside a geodesic dome, I had no problems. However, since I don't know ...

Oh, I didn't realize they were different camps! Oi I'm such a n00b.

So the center camp coffee charges, and the espresso camp doesn't?

I bought a steel cup with a screw-on lid, and there's a biner on it so I can attach it to my backpack and ride away to let it cool off a bit!

That's all I want to know!

Q: How much is the coffee at Espresso Camp? And, is there cream? (I'll bring my own sugar substitute)

There isn't really a "submit demo here" spot, on e-playa or anywhere else. It's a function of connecting with the right people - be it on the playa or off - and then working something out. I'd recommend posting on the artists seeking stages thread, and keeping your eyes on the stages seeking artist...

Hello. I'm Juice Box (that's my DJ name, Little Miss Fancy Pants is my roller derby name, but with an injury, will not be playing at the BR Roller Disco!). Anyway, I play psy trance. My demo is here I'm not fabulous in terms of skills, but I am fabulous in track selection and presence!! There's a ve...

I want to know who I should be submitting my demo to, to play at theme camps and the like.

And also where the psy trance camps are!

I realize, a lot of this may be by accident, but I'd like to know anything if it's out there.

I will be playing at my camp, Outpost23, as well. :)

Good gravy! My father had an illiosotomy bag...um...keep it clean would be a bit of an understatement!! I would advise against changing your bag in a dust storm...

Well I figured radios would be easier, just so I can get in contact with the person I'm going with if necessary. Even though we'll be in a camp, we may need to get to each other.

Who knows?

Thanks Token and Isotopia for the mask details!

I was going to go searching for walkie talkies, but I don't really have any idea what to look for. My friend said "Just don't get something crappy". When you've never used the technology, that concept is not quite so obvious. Aside from range, I have no idea what else is a good feature or what is a ...

Hey what are your coordinates? I'd love to hobble on in and say hello!

(I'd started this thread and they told me to contact you!) ;)

I'm in Vancouver as well, and there isn't that much going on here really. There's a party called Sizzle on July 21st. Other than that, there's usually a Halos and Horns party sometime in the fall, Santacon in the winter, and Recompression April long weekend. The burningvan.org site is not that activ...

On the ePlaya or the BM site?

Thanks!

This is my first year, so it was good to hear some things to be mindful of!

I was actually now considering getting a hold of a little red wagon and whipping people on bikes to bring me around. ;) I need to look into prices... You're all right though, I definitely need something that I can use on my own without help from anyone. I'm a very dependent person and I can't stand ...

Thanks for all the advice!!

Actually I'm coming in from Vancouver, Canada...

Tricycle? That sounds like crazy amounts of fun! :D

First off, I'm not in a wheelchair, so please don't point me to that page on the BM site, I've already read it. Around the end of May, I broke my left ankle. I will be getting my cast off July 11th, at which point I'll be told by my surgeon if I can put full weight, or partial weight on my ankle. I ...

I'm an insulin dependent Diabetic, and I don't think you'll need ice for the insulin necessarily...

As long as it's not HOT or lying in the sun, the shelf life outside of the fridge is 28 days.

Great! Thank you so much that totally hit the nail on the head!! :D

Hi there, This year is going to be my first time going to BM, and rather than just be like "hey help I need a theme camp!" or anything like that, I wanted to know if there was a master list of registered camps, and if one can search it. Searchable by say visual art theme, music theme, sport theme, s...
