No nightmares but definitely dreams, one or two a year randomly and a few more than that this time of year. Usually it revolves around trying to find a camp spot but it's an indoor event and I'm wondering why the fuck I even want to be there. Except the one dream I had a few weeks back about the Sta...

I'll keep it peaceful just keep it off my sofa.

Went for the first time in 2000 with my then girlfriend now wife, she convinced me to go. Had a fucking miserable time. We rallied and went again and it was epic. Been going every year since except for last year because of our beautiful baby girl. Both going again this year. Our compromise after yea...

The last thing I want after the long drive is some overly happy greeter in my face saying 'welcome home, have a good burn, blah blah blah'. Just give me the damn stack of paper that will sit on the dashboard all week and get out of my way.

Or another option which I've done in the past few years is camp as close as you can to misfit and dig a small trench and very carefuly splice into his not so main and wrap with electrical tape and saran wrap and re-bury. I've been spotted doing this every single time but nobody seemed to care.

From a previous placement announcement... WHAT?, WHERE?, WHEN? -- NOW!!!

People show up to the burn on their bikes and park them at the back of the crowd away from everyone and wander off to wait and watch the burn. But more people are going to show up and pretty soon the bike someone thought they left behind the crowd is in the crowd and in the way. I can do without the...

Yes, I have original art on the wall of my house I didn't paint, I go to restaurants and eats fine meals I didn't cook, and on and fucking on. It's pretty obvious to the most untrained eye that I didn't paint that painting and I certainly did not cook that meal we are so thoroughly enjoying. Does th...

People spend time, money, blood, sweat, and tears on all sorts of projects art cars included. The effort it takes to build something, transport it to the playa, have it work, and get it back home is enormous. The experience of doing just that is why people go back year after year after year after ye...

I taste bile.

"way too many clothes and too clean to be Burningman qualified"

You don't have to be a stinkin hippy to be qualified for a f'in camping trip dude. Ease up.

Sounds like a great idea. Keep in mind MV's aren't allowed on some streets unless they're traveling from and to your camp to park it. It's been a few years since I had an art car so not sure what the rules are on that now.

You people are very silly. Me likey.

Mmmmmm.... steak.

They suck.

I think they've been between D and E the last 2 years, don't recall prior to that...

Must see's? Every year I still see pictures of stuff afterwards that I didn't see that year. No matter how much you try and get out and see everything you never will. Just go out and do your thing and what you see and experience will be more than enough. Don't fret about seeing stuff or doing stuff.

Oh... I thought you wnated a date to the burn. I was gonna say lot's of people go single, it's nothing to worry about.

In my experience candy caning rebar is not difficult at all, it pounds into the playa just fine with a good size sledge, removal is easy using a crowbar and small peice of 2x4, nothing sticks above the surface that needs to be coverd by a plastic bottle or tennis ball, it's easier to attach ropes an...

Thrisft store or look for a cheapo bike from Wal(suck)Mart. The fatter the tires the better, try and get a big soft seat or buy a bigger seat and replace the existing, your butt will thank you, and a basket is helpful too.

Mesh material you can get at a garden supply store, I've got it at OSH and Home Depot before, forget how much but waaaay less than aluminet. Comes in 6'x30' rolls, usually tan or blue mesh. Use a grommet tool to make grommets along the sides. It's been working great for us.

Sat. phones work great but are pricey. I've been able to get wi-fi for the past several years, just bring an old laptop and confine it to the tent or car to avoid dust. The closer to Center Camp you are the better connection you'll get, I was able to pick one up from my camp last year at about 5:00 ...

1. Would you describe yourself? Doer, builder, organizer, partier, shy, rude, sarcastic, funny as hell, hungry. 2. What reason made you decide to go to Burning Man? Friend recommended it, his stories made me want to go. 3. Did you go alone or with a friend/family? With my girlfriend, now my wife. Be...

That's the last thing I'd want...

Please post pictures.

Sounds like you got the right attitude divenakedd. Have fun at your first burn!

2 steel pipes about 3' in length, your foot, a garage floor, and a little effort. I use 2'x3/8" rebar and bend about 6" of one end over.

I prefer the J shape myself.

Never officially signed up for stuff but spent a few mornings unloading ice one year, wasn't as good a way to keep cool as I'd initially thought. Recycle camp has also been a place I've jumped in and helped out at in the past. If you're dumping off cans you should stick around and flatten them anywa...
