Still seeing "The sale will start soon." now is confusing/frustrating.

UPDATE: the message changed. Makes sense now.

Still can't find the bigger blocks. I found an ice cream supply place that sells theirs for 40 cents a pound!!! 8) Shop wisely! Not bad. Where? Best I found (thanks to http://www.dryiceDirectory.com ): *Airgas Dry Ice 731 B West Cutting Blvd Richmond, CA (510) 237-5114 Robert Farris, Manager http:/...

That was fun to read!

Thanks for the love, I'm freshly sticker-endowed...and I have a new desktop picture.


(Oh, and that particular year's sticker is special for me, a different one wouldn't have the same connection to Larry, Buddy Jesus,...it's a long story.)

In 2003, the sticker that everyone got at the Gate/Greeter station on the way in (along with the What Where When,etc said: "Jesus is Coming Look Busy Burning Man 2003" Being Me, it's been fun to have the sticker on the front of My car ever since, but it's faded to invisibility. Hoping I can get one ...

Thanks, Squirrelhead. Boomr, wow, did you remember to CLOSE the cooler? Just kidding, but seriously, which of the many ideas folks have shared for making the dry ice last longer (if any) did you adopt? In your test, you didn't mention taking any extra steps, or what kind of cooler you got, just that...

It started at Decompression 2010. I arrived quite early, and pulled over on the bridge over Decompression Street (AKA the part of 18th street that is a bridge over 280 and Indiana Street) and got out to enjoy the view. Before getting in my car to park, I noticed that in fact, it seemed that I had pa...

Thanks for providing what info you can, BB. I agree. I think trademark law suggests that the org must defend its trademark against unauthorized use, if that's what this use is, license the use, or lose the mark. Or something like that. BTW, I read through section 7 of the ToS and don't see a match. ...

What's up with http://www.burningmanridefinder.com/ ? It says: ** www.burningmanridefinder.com is not affiliated with www.burningman.com or any of it's affiliates ** I can't figure out what the slant is of this. Perhaps noncommercial, but the ToS suggests it may not be in future (credit card info re...

Y.T. is a badass

Indeed... magnapoon ... dentata!

Oh, and there isn't even a theoretical 5 MPH speed limit before or after the event. Plus, the speed limit doesn't apply to non-motorized vehicles.

Snow Crash was my inspiration! I should start sporting some RadiKS-logo'd garb.

Looks like this artist thinks Y.T. would be quite at home on the playa, sporting RadiK Knight Visions goggles... http://tastycake.deviantart.com/art/YT- ... h-42795974

I don't have a speedometer, but I can assure you it is a thrill, indeed.

If I don't recall I read about this gentleman who used these off road rollerblades then he had this big magnet on a rope connected to his belt and he would attach it to art cars and get pulled around. Now that I think of it it was in "This Is Burning man" by Brian Doherty. I'm not sure how it turne...

No matter the form of transport , moving at Burning Man on wet playa is only for the foolish or inconsiderate. I bring Rollerblade Coyotes to the playa every year. But I also bring 1) a magnapoon and full protective gear 2) a bike If you have the energy of the Energizer Bunny, these'll work. But ex...

[quote="whaleboy"]Hmmmmm.... @southcoaster: Ok from what I know, fridges pull a fair amount of power.... your best bet might be either xxx, yyy, or going a whole different route, like dry ice(which might over-chill your stuff).

Hey Jesus, Jeff here. You still have my bar? You can burn it, if it helps. So the ranch won't store the plywood and masonite? JEFF!!! Hey! Yeah, I think we still have your bar; we had a bar last year, but I don't recall green astroturf. But then, you know how easy it is to get distracted at burning...

Thanks, all. Our camp is big enough that a full container would make sense. Just left a message to see how much they're selling containers for.

: I'd agree with everything Bay Bridge Sue said except: 1) Using foil. Aluminum is a terrible heat insulator; it has very high thermal conductivity; it's worse than nothing. 2) Food in a cooler with dry ice won't get carbonated. See my 3 posts on page 8. I just called Reno's Crystal Ice and they wil...

Hi. Jesus from the Black Rock Roller Disco We are looking to store the roller disco floor and such near the playa. Here's what would work well: We pile everything onto two shipping pallets (or perhaps in a mini/half shipping container), wrapped so they'll survive a year outside, in our camp, and lea...

Not in the world I call reality.

Jesus, thank you for backing me up.... Even I'm not sure I understand the whole second half. So my theory is just put the dry ice in a zip lock bag to keep it from getting wet. Get a bag that's a little bigger so as the dry ice turns to vapor it has room to expand with out popping the bag. Jesus? w...

Lots of ideas for good insulation out there! :D Blankets, foam, cardboard, whatever! I keep my night-time 'fur' coat over my cooler stack; works great. :D Thanks, Jesus! Good information, that! ... :D Thanks! :oops: (blush) Yeah-Labels! Organized stuff is usually a good idea anyway. :-) ...Wouldn't ...

:D The more I think about it, the more I become convinced that my bulk pellets were all wrong. The total surface area must have been enormous, and with no wrapping to reduce air circulation against that surface. I bet, if I had instead used the same weight of the more common blocks wrapped in wax p...

Nice. :D The main problem I foresee is the nasty, disease-ridden tub of evaporated urine remains and trying to bring it home.... On second thought, the porta-potties are just fine for me. :P Urine is normally sterile. Not that I think the idea is practical. I use a Fremin Stillsuit . :P My project ...

I'm in SF/Oak. Its for remote flash triggering. Found near the man.

Goes 2 anyone w/ a trigger; I found the receiver.

Important thread; someone referred to it in a recent post. Just as an update. A man was arrested for two attempted assults. Turns out he was the same guy who commited a rape 4 years ago.

Yeah, I probably shouldn't have posted without including even more check measures than I did; xtine makes a good suggestion; leaving a note both before and after taking the bike would also be appropriate. But I do think abandoned bikes are a large problem, and that mindful participants can help reso...

I found this really interesting: http://www.livescience.com/humanbiology/060328_tanning_uv.html :P In short, researchers in a small, preliminary study found that tanning releases endorphins, and tests indicate tanners seem to be addicted to the endorphins. We sure get a lot of sun at Burning Man. (N...

Ok, here you go: 1. 20,000 vinyl stickers from thestickerguy.com = $2,000 2. 5 engraving tools from Harbor Frieght = $35.00 3. 5 old used Laptop computers with Filemaker Pro on on Craigslist = $1,000 (I reccomend the Toshiba Sattelites, they kick ass). 4.
