DGS Invitation received.

In mid-January, there was an email sent to me as camp leader to say that in 2017 our camp had met the 7 criteria and that we are in Good Standing with the Placement team and will be included in the sale again this year. No info on numbers of tickets or when further info would be forthcoming but pres...

Another month has passed and it would appear there is to be no further posting on the Moop Map subject via the Black Rock Journal for this past season. Apparently, for whatever reason, it has been decided that it is not important that we know the results of the BLM Inspection, at least not directly ...

Greetings bar folks! I hope you have an enjoyable day, being thankful for all of those things we have to be thankful for! And that you eat well! Mahalo!

The post yesterday on the moop map blog says they are looking forward to the inspection. Patience...... Hi Ratty. WADR, the post was written weeks ago and just got published on the BRC Journal on Nov 2. The coordinated MOOP sweep was completed on Sept 23. and in his writing about that day, Slim ind...

Thank you. It would be more of a surprise if we hadn't passed given how good the map has looked during the process. The lag in reporting this by BMORG makes no sense to me whatsoever.

...

Well hey! We got an update! Um... wait... no it's just a repeat of the same stuff we've been hearing all year with no new info on this year at all. Really?

Politics and regime change notwithstanding, in Slim's last accounting on Day 6 of the MOOP sweep by Resto on Sept 23 , he indicated they had about a week left in which to sweep other areas of the city. In my mind, that leads me to believe that the BLM inspection was scheduled for around the 1st of O...

I'm a little puzzled by the lack of any mention here on eplaya about the substantial delay in releasing BLM Inspection info from this year. In 2016, the BLM Inspection took place in the first week of October and is shown to have been delayed a day by weather. We were told those results on October 7 ...

I watched a couple of DPW / BMORG vehicles pass thru the blockade with little challenge and also saw a few attendees just plow thru it, although they were jeered at severely. It was good, light-hearted playa theatre done correctly. Most people were a bit befuddled by it but for the most part played ...

According to a ranger we know, the "repair project" was scheduled and condoned.

Trilo is alive and well on that blue edged faceplant site. Not sure why he hasn't been on here... burnout perhaps?

From your avatar photo, I think that you're the kind gentleman that gave me my 3D glasses for Destiny Lounge at the LA Decom ... and IIRC, you actually had a smile on your face. Now, I could be wrong, but it sounds like you're neither old-at-heart, nor cynical ... I'm afraid that we'd have to ask y...

Ahem... I don't feel old!

Hey, anyone seen my walker?

I'd say any time now, but keep in mind they haven't even been able to manage posting the MOOP Map journal entries. Not holding my breath.

What he said.

...and the entire thread has been removed...?

Wow... That's not how this works.... that's not how any of this works.

Post Burn depression or at least a deep lull in one's emotional state is very normal. Even after a number of years in a row of going and knowing it's coming... the depression and "postpartum" anxiety is very real for me, some years far worse than others. Without you so much as saying it, i...

I will admit to being a rather sedentary (lazy) individual when it comes to physical exercise. Three years ago I bought one of the first Sondors electric bikes when the offer came up on GoFundMe (or whatever site it was). Pedaling a regular bicycle on the playa was never an easy endeavour for me, es...

I'm fortunate to have a good internal clock that is within 15-20 minutes most of the time, even on the playa. However, I do have some volunteer shifts that start at specific times, so we also have a small wall clock in our kitchen area. It was gifted to us by a camp friend a few years ago and has a ...

I'll reopen this one, since the thread got linked in a couple of places. Last year I found a 10' x 10' Ultra Absorbent Containment Tarp from a place called Spill 911. I put it in the bed of my utility trailer and create a pond enclosure with it using heavy duty clips and a couple of boards. It's ple...

Thanks, Savannah! Did I miss you?

May as well make it official.

From what I understand, confidentiality laws would prevent any actual first responder from giving out info on this, so the only way you are likely to hear anything is if it makes the news or the official report from the BMorg. I encountered a similar situation a few years back with an unconscious ma...

Hiya Bar Peeps! Defaultia has claimed me already as I sit here at work already on the next project. Considering BM is technically my vacation, I guess having to be right back at work the next day after getting home isn't that surprising, but I sure could use a vacation after my vacation. This year w...

DL3D 2017 by Joe Sale.jpg Well, that's a wrap on 2017! This is going into the books as our most successful camp ever, even better than 2009 at 3:00 and Esplanade which has always been my benchmark year! Balls were Rocked, Free Blowjobs were dispensed, and many heads were spun in the Vortex! I hope ...

I've seen it mentioned here and there but figured it deserves its own topic. The condition of Gate Road made it close to impassable by the time the event was over. It became an unbelievable obstacle course of deep craters and ruts and powdery dunes which hid it all from view. No need to worry about ...

I was told by one of the Center Camp Cafe leads during my shift that on Monday (right after opening) it was over 116 in the direct sun. I understand that would make it the hottest day ever during the event. I just know that it was brutally hot during our 3.5 days of build.
