Here are a couple tips for intra-city camping; Do NOT show up on Monday morning at 3am and pull your RV into a spot at 6:00 & B. These spots are invariably reserved for camps with early access despite whether they are official 'theme' camps or not. We had three 40' RV's pull into Moonshine Tavern at...

Capitalist pig!

But I love you all too much to not show up.

I know I've been absent from the forums as of late and we will not be bringing Moonshine Tavern back this year, but I feel an overwhelming need and desire to attend the burn again this year.

That is all.

Don't tell people about the Daft Punk show!!

Just bring whatever you'd bring camping. Sounds like you've got some burner friends already, i'm sure they can point you in the right direction. There are also tons of packing lists on the intraweb, just google "burning man packing list"

My Canon 50D has no problems and did not need professional cleaning after BM09. I walked around with it IN a dust storm. I do not remove the lens and keep it in my backpack when I'm not shooting.

I've perpetuated the daft punk prank too.

We don't use them. Just a nut and bolt on the FuckIt dome.

That doesnt seem like much of an apology to me. In fact, it seems to say, "You are trying to stifle our creativity by not letting us fly advertisements over your event". I really hope that all of you growers out there who attend BM have now decided that this company is not someone you will deal with.

Personally, I have always had an issue with people bringing kids to the playa but, after a wise campmate told me, Burning Man is kid-heaven. I mean seriously, there are people dressed in all sorts of costumes and performing countless numbers of art all the time. This is exactly the place for a kid. ...

Thats fucking awesome, actually. I didn't know they had a pop-top for the Element. Shit, now I want to trade in my car for an Element.

I totally agree. Yurts rock! I've helped assemble a few hexayurts on the playa and I've stayed in a couple of larger yurts at the Lupin Lodge and they are really cool structures indeed.

I love the sense of community that the video portrays. These people were burners long before we were.

Ugly's link works. I do not, however, recognize this person.

Woot! Welcome to the club. One of my favorite daytime activities is moop pickup around my neighborhood. You get to meet a bunch of great folks and spread the word about cleaning up the playa. I have never found anything cool but, yes, cigarette butts seem to be to biggest contribution to polluting t...

curiousgnate wrote:Chaos used to be a part of burningman. shouldn't it still be? I say yes yes yes. More chaos less structure!

Well Chaos was part of burning until someone stole the signs.

Yeah and what about the huge Costco sign!!?!?! Wait, wut?

So what are you going to do about it? Police the signs or just complain that "it's wrong" and "unburnerlike"? And for the record, I have never stolen a sign but I don't have a problem with people doing it.

I think that I noticed them missing starting on Friday. I am just glad that I know to find landmarks/lightmarks early in the week so i dont get lost. Honestly, you should know which street is yours from The Man.

And no worries Anti M, I would never booby trap you.

we reeled in the guy who did this one night when we were fishing. He told us all about his fake JOTS and showed us video of some girl who was REALLY disappointed that they were fake. I told him that I had thought about doing this for years but never did anything about it. I thought it was fucking aw...

Reread the damn post. I was bitching that they'd ripped up my lights. I know about the fucking orange poles, I know my way around the city, I don't need the fucking signs. Booby trap my tent? Very nice, real nice. Like I said, read the damn post. Lighten up Anti M. I wasn't even referring to you. I...

I didn't find the vacuum bags to be overpriced as long as you buy the roll and not the precut.

I dunno, I think this is going to backfire on them. Most of the burners who care about the event know that this was a blatantly disrespectful act on the advertisers part and that they probably lost customers because of it. I really hope that the story of the pilot losing his/her license is true beca...

I only post one per day so they're coming.

narcissist !

Oh come on, are you really complaining about people stealing the street signs? This has gone on for how many years? If by Friday you don't know the city well enough to get home then who is the tourist? Seriously, you KNOW they are going to be stolen and yet you still don't know your way home? As far...

I am opting for something more A/C friendly in 2010 though. I am done with tenting it on the playa. I need more than 2 hours of sleep a day and I can't get that in my tent. Next year it's hexayurt+AC or Travel Trailer+AC.

It is what it is.

Wow I had no problems with frozen pasta and sausage. It tasted great.

they prolly think the rain fly serves to close the mesh.. but we burners know.. it does not. :) NOTHING keeps out the dust.. NOTHING !!! arrrrrggggg !!!!! I honestly do not have a dust problem in my mesh-based tent. However, I do add a couple of bedsheets over the mesh before I put the rainfly on. ...
