way to keep em' hanging Mike.

Laughing my ass off here.

I think cheatneutral is the BEST thing to ever happen!

And I'm a card carrying member of the Landover Baptist Church.

Only you can save yourself from Jesus!

Does the theme really matter to you, at all? How much does the theme really impact your week? I think most people do the same things, wear the same stuff, drive the same art cars, and none of it has anything to do with the theme. I think the theme is a pet project for someone, and overall it has a v...

My gift is my fashion! You know, most people talk about what "costumes" they are going to wear. And that's fucked up! This is NOT halloween! You should not try to look like "someone else." You are you, and you should represent yourself as such. Don't try to be or look like anything other than what y...

Bring your own cup, indeed. Bring your own cup to any bar/camp that's serving drinks of any kind, and they will usually be MUCH happier to serve you. That way you don't make MOOP or trash of any kind, easier on the planet, and easier for the camps since they don't have to supply you with a cup as we...

sorry JP, not trying to be snarky (but I guess I was), just putting in my 2 cents worth (well, maybe 1.5 cents worth)

playa dunes? throw playa chunks everywhere? I'm not sure what kind of playa you have been on, but the last 5 years I've been there the playa is almost like concrete. I know it's supposed to be extra dusty this year, but I've never seen a real playa dune. There is the occasional spot where dust has c...

ummm, yahhhhhhh, you are going to need some shade, ummmmkay! Do Not leave home without some type of shade for your tent. Otherwise you will be looking to sleep in someone else's tent that has shade. Now, there's nothing wrong with sleeping in someone else's tent for the right reason, but lack of sha...

Wouldn't it be neat to test our city?

Maybe it would be scary?

Maybe those people who call BM a "drug rave in the desert" would be wrong,,,,,,, or right?

NICE!!!!!!

stop by my camp every morning, and I'll dole out your meds. for a small down payment, and a reasonable monthly after that, not forgetting about the quartely payment, on top of the end of contract payment

I'll be there with bells on, if I remember to bring them!

Thanks for the invite

Dear Nor757, That's the spirit! You are correct in your assumption that being washed by another man (no matter of color, creed, sexual orientation, gender, hair color, etc, etc.....) will not harm you in any way! Open up your minds people, let the sunshine in! But keep the filter on for dust! It's g...

So, there is parking, great, but does anybody actually do the parking for me? I mean I just drove all there way out there, the least someone could do for my 25$ is park my freaking car!

The wind does not discriminate. It blows everywhere both inner streets as well as outer rings.

Except where I'm camped of course, I ordered calm warm days and clear stary nights, just go to weather (dot) com, and place your order before it's too late!

well put honeyfire!

There's just no way to know what it will be like for YOU. It's different for every person, it's what you make it. But even seasoned vets don't know exactly what it will be like. It's different every year, every day, every minute...................cool.

I had some buddies last year that took an old military shute, used for equiptment drops I think, and used it to pull them on bikes. There were two main points, so each person grabbed hold, and tried to ride together, under the pull of the wind. It worked,,,,, sort of. With two people, timing was tou...

Sweet!

I've been gifted and I'm not even there yet!

"ATTA BOY" "WAY TO GO" "So long, and thanks for all the fish" "No really, thanks for all you do" Soon you will be back to the place that refills your soul. Sometimes the darkest times are right before sunrise. You will make it, and you will make my life better by giving of yourself for a week. It ta...

Well put!

It's (burning man) kind of what you make of it, like life in the "default" world.

I can agree that there are different opinions, but the first article seemed hostile and inaccurate.

Glad to know there are level headed journalist's out there.

My camp is full of health care workers, MD's, RN's, and all manner of others who work on/for people the rest of the year. We, however, do NOT work on/for people during the burn, as this is our vacation. We are camp: No Compassion The other 51 weeks, we are caring, compassionate, healthcare professio...

Depending on the warmth rating of your sleeping bag, you may want to consider extra blankets. How much room do you have to pack extra blankets? If there's room, I'd say take them. Even if you don't use them over you, you could place them under you to add extra padding, or gift them to someone in you...

It can be VERY cold at night! Most people wear long coats at night, casuse it's cold! I would not go without some very warm sleeping gear. And as said, sometimes it's HOT, too hot for blankets. But usually, once the sun goes down, it drops a full 20 degrees! Bring the sleeping bag, or a flat wooden ...

yes, well aware of what a "dry socket" is.

Best of luck to all those with maladies who are on the brink of not making it to the playa this year due to said problems.

Take care of yourself, and don't overdue it. Remember: radical self reliance in BRC

ROFL = Rolling on floor laughing

Astroglide = sexual lubricant, i.e. for the "dry socket", hahaha.........

lots of joking goes on around here, all in good fun, but bring your thick skin

well, if you must dear Capt.

I know I'll need punishment, please, not the paddle?????????????

All the people who actually build the infrastructure of the city. It's my understanding that these people spend WEEKS on the playa, buliding a little piece of heaven for ME! At the end of the week I am so ready to leave and not see playa for a long time. But these amazing people spend so much time o...

they sell it everywhere, soon in vending machines (just kidding). Most any grocery store or costco has ETOH. I'm not sure where it's cheaper, but I'd guess that NV has less taxes and such, so NV would be my guess.

And bring more booze than you think you need, because it's the perfect gift!

ROFL

Hey, that's what we are doing for the first time this year (only took 5 years to figure that one out!) It will be great to let camp mates know where we are going, when something cool is going on, take down people's email info and cool stuff like that! WOW, we are almost home. I am SOOOOOOOOOOO ready...

or there is always sky writing!
