I am somewhere in between....obviously I have been asking TONS of questions here to get an idea of exactly what I need to bring with me, what I can purchase in Reno, and what I need to make, etc, etc. The group I am camping with will sit down and start going over details very soon (at least that is ...

I can't help in any way, as it is my first burn and I will be "mooching" some camp space with a friend and their group.....but I did however wanted to say Welcome! Glad to have you! I am a Chicago transplant myself, now in Saint Louis.....New York City is an awesome place, grew up in Philadelphia an...

Happy Birthday from one Diane to another!

One of the best birthdays I ever had was spent solo....painting the day away! (a little vino and a lot of music helped make it a sweet day!)

Hope you had a good one!

What do you recomend I wear in top? I am sure the prefered attire would be topless, but due to my extremely fair skin any other opinions?

Mr Smith....

I will keep that in mind, perhaps I need to go shopping for a loincloth or two to make my packing a bit easier, can you recommend a good loincloth dealer? Or do you happen to manufactor them yourself?

Curiously,

I store all my perishable food in carboard boxes (with the food in ziplocks) because I won't be bringing the perishable food home I can burn the carboard boxes and have less to deal with when packing up. AWESOME Idea!!! Love it! I had been planning on using a rubbermaid container, but this makes so...

How about simply saying....

"I've attended Burning Man four times"

I have read several lists/posts/etc that recommend removing all possible packaging at home and packing things into easy to organize large plastic containers (ie Rubbermaid) and packing smaller items (ie batteries) into plastic ziploc bags to help keep them organized, etc.....but what about clothes? ...

LOL

Right back at you Mr. Smith

*smoochies*

Okie Dokie then....if you decide to go let me know! It is a done deal for me, I will be attending in '04, and recently found out I will be going solo as my husband's graduate program resumes mid-August, and since it is his last semester he can't miss a single class with out suffering some pretty hef...

Isn't, by definition, any online identity a Sock Puppet?

I was at home, in bed, sick with the flu. No New Years Kiss for me....my husband was at a party, and since it I am so sick, no kissy face!

In all honesty some of my happiest and most enjoyable New Years have been spent at home with a few close loved ones.

WoW!!!!! Thank you Chai Guy!!! You have gone above and beyond! I now have some good reading material for my evening of flu killing! I am intrigued about the information you posted about your shade structure.....I have a suv type car/truck whatever you want to call it......so I could attach something...

Chai- THANK YOU for all your most helpful comments! This will be my first burning man and I am a bit nervous, due mostly to my neurotic tendencies, plus given the fact that my husband may have to miss the trip since his semester begins mid August.....but I am going to camp with Burning Man Vets....t...

Okay I have read the checklists on www.burningman.com and all of the posts in this forum, but I want to hear from those who have gone before.... Is there anything missing from the list? Are there things that you brought the second year that you didn't bring the first? Are there things to bring that ...

Dude...if you are THAT worried about it get a fake ID.....oh wait that would be breaking the law.....sssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell Mom

I wish I had a Barbie for you to burn.....but long ago I ripped all their heads off and my Mom figured out that I am not a Barbie Girl living in a Barbie World.

Why did the turtle cross the road???

HA HA HA HA !

I know it makes no sense....gotta love it!

I agree.....I don't like them because I don't have one

I've been good, maybe Santa will bring me one

What Makes a Hero? well you see there is an egg and then this sperm comes along....seriously, A big heart and the courage to follow it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Women that give up carreers for their children! Men that give up their careers is even more heroic to me, making the...

Might I suggest either Portland, Seattle, Victoria, or Vancouver? You seem like the kind of down-to-earth, caring person that would fit in perfectly here in the Northwest. I used to live in the Seattle/Tacoma area....and loved it! My husband I are looking at both coasts as possibilities, his gradua...

I have to admitt that the holidays have to be my favorite time of the year, especially Christmas/Winter. This year is a bit depressing to me, and today being December 1st is like the kick off to a sad season. Being a retail manager the holidays have lost a bit of their luster of the past few years, ...

I actually first learned of Burning Man from a member on the forum that I mod....I was talking about camping and they emailed me a link to the burningman website....that first night I spent hours reading all that I could. I of course had many questions, and emailed my new friend so much that I thoug...

Thank you Mr. Smith! I am a mod on another message board (not burn related) and appreciate the warm welcome to the boards! I try to welcome all the new members on the board that I mod, and find it to be a personal touch that makes you want o find a comfy spot and curl up for a bit. Thank you :wink: ...

Morning Star Corn Dogs (in the freezer section) are YUMMIE!!!!!

I admit that the very first concert I ever attended was The Ramones, and the coolest thing about the concert is that it was a private show for the boarding school I atteneded and the Boys boarding school that it was held at. Afterwards I watched "Rock'nRoll High School" like every day! It was my fir...

Cupcake High!!!!!

I think that is more like a character from a diabetic's worst nightmare, than a porn star!

And remember this: it could always be worse. Yes it could be worse, you could be trapped in the Retail cespool! 'tis the season to be rude, bitchy, stressed-out, ______________ (fill in the blank) This being my 10th year in retail, the holidays have become such a blur of people bitching me out and ...

OOOoooooooooooooooooo Thanks for all the fab ideas! I think one of the best things about burning man kin is that you can throw something at them and you will be 100 different responses back and they are all different! It is so incredible to have such a vivid and colorful sounding board! I love the s...

We got married last Christmas....so we also got a crazy amount of gifts, but for some reason even after the new things arrived we couldn't get rid of our old pub glasses and mis-matched wwine glasses, they are all sitting on a shelf in my basement just waiting for your post. We are in MO, so I don't...
