My favorite dream of BM is that for the 2005 burn, "they" had found a way to animate the man. As the burn began, a flaming Man broke free and walked across the playa stopping to dance along the way. He walked until he fell apart and the crowd went wild.
It was kinda neat.

Advice for FIRE HORNS?
I'm a big horn fan. I wore a nice pair for the majority of the week this year. HOWEVER, I want FIRE HORNS next year. Imagine a tall pair of horns strapped on and lit at the ends. It will need some sort of system to get fuel to the horns. I saw someone with something similar and I'm trying to figure ...

GOTH AND INDUSTRIAL... shit, I knew that I shoulda checked out Spike's. I'm itching to do an 80s/new wave/electropop camp. I'm thinking Depeche Mode with a sunrise. "Home" maybe maybe "New Dress."

1st burn
This was my first burn and I was lucky enough to camp with 4 experienced burners. BRC was everything that I had read about, dreamt about, and imagined, times 100. I had no idea that it would be SO BIG, that the people would be so great and that the 4000 stickers we brought (moop to some I suppose) w...

Adjusting
This was my first burn and coming back to the work force in NYC was a fucking drag. I've been trying to adjust, but am not having an easy time doing it. I love your idea on giving gifts to the neighbors. I've brought the playa home by beginning to create lessons (I'm a high school teacher) that are ...

I wouldn't exactly say it's white, more of a chicken yellow. Words of advice from a do-it-yourselfer.... wait a bit until your scalp is happier and maybe do it again to go lighter. DON'T FORGET A TONER, unless you want GREEN hair by the end of the week. Just my humble advice... don't no one go yelli...

Bartering on the playa
I want to bring GOOD stuff to barter!
It's my first year, so what the heck stands for good barter? Short of a full blown massage parlor and booze, what makes for fun barter? Food? Drink? Toys?
I want to be original (so much for posting for help on here) but functional.

Boyfriend
Thanks for all of the responses. My BF and I had a long talk about trust and the playa and we're good. Communication appears to be the key here and I am ready to go to the playa monogamous and return from the playa monogamous. Some jest at this possibility, but I intend on making it happen. If not, ...

Very true. I feel like I'm kinda fucked either way. But knowing that I've wanted to participate in this event for so long and that my TRUE INTENTIONS are noble, makes me feel like I must go. I have the opportunity to go with some great people and I think that it will be a life changing event. Thanks...
