The OP has it right, the first thing i heard out of my friends mouth when they announced the system for this year was "a lot of people are gonna get paid". I am trying not to be cynical but i do not see any legitimate way a team of people who had any clue could have made this policy. Not being an Ey...

One of the things that breaks my heart--or at least bends it hard--about the low-income discussions is seeing how much people hate the poor. If you're poor you should never have any fun, or vacation, or any break in the utter misery of your daily routine of eating your cold can of spam and applying ...

Summmoning the dead, in mah own thread.

element 11 is held out on bonneville, but the warehouse we hold probably the biggest decomp party at burned down do to sparkler attacks, lasers i dont know.

[quote="Isotopia"][quote]i didnt find exodus too difficult. our vehicle entered the lineup around 3pm on monday, and was cruising along the highway a little over 2 hours later.

The best year for me was last year when i switched tactics, i guzzled water like a japanese bukakke whore for the first two days, no drinking, relaxed met people in the slower paced camps. Then once i was juicey as a nectarine, i eased in the booze as the week ramped up, always swapping it with ice ...

Not necessarily the best place to fly into, im based out of slc, which is more of a major metro area and air hub, we have people every year flying in and then taken grocery shopping by me. Then its just a fun 6 hour drive (even more fun because you get to take more clothes off as you go :)

As a private investigator i'd assume you would at least provide the date, time, and what happened, do you know how many instances of something happened on that corner? more than 1.

To quote angels in america: "It's something you learn after your second theme party, its all been done before" I suspect when and if the time comes that burning man becomes coachella, people will naturally already be seeding and growing the next species of event. It happens in nightlife, religion, a...

I have worn everything from steel to redwood to bone out there and never had any issues in 3 years. The problems people have out on the playa are usually more related to their hydration level, and their *juicey* factor. I get away with running around barefoot or in flip flops for a week with no prob...

I've drunkenly poked a nice guys weenis after asking plenty of times, never had any negative reaction (but it helps that i've always camped with cute girls) most people out there are friendly period.

Thank you very much for this information. Too bad that this is last minute news and that those running the decompression couldn't have provided data on this matter much much much earlier. Not sure that we can go now as work sort of wants us to give a little notice before taking the time off. :( Hop...

I think the official injury count for the slide was 50+? It was hilarious to watch the people at night, if you have ever seen penguins pushing eachother into the water to check for predators you know what im talking about. Drunk girls flying down 5 at a time smashing into eachother at the bottom fas...

Seems like the classic old timers feeling from any scene, you were BORN on the playa and did nothing but shit originality. Hows about you jump in, say hi to those folks, and help them make more of their week?

I guess im going to have to start visiting the third world every late summer because this was the last place i could escape staring at the back of everyones cell phones while they texted oblivious to their surroundings. Im sure not the last nail in participation, but its getting there.

[quote="Finnegan"]Ah! Performance art. Very nice. I'm sure that the owner will appreciate your artistic stylings and not make you eat your flip flops.[/quote]


Fair trade.

The first iphone i see will be stomped as hard as i can in flip flops, blended, and served in a fuck you margarita.

[quote="flatlander13"]Do any of you guys get Pre-Burning Man Depression? If so how do you deal with it? Right now I am busy getting ready for the burn…..making necklaces, making the list and checking it twice…..but I have fallen into the Pre-Burn blues…….I want to sleep…..I don’t want to...

Less 6 packs for breakfast, i think i was face in pillow by sundown all but two days. Damn you ever so fun morning people from Boston!

[quote="KestrelSF"][quote="trevkong"]No really.[/quote] Last year, we did have a woman ask "want to see my sno kone trick" and she proceeded to mash the sno kone into first one, then her other nipple. Of course, with the stand staffed with a bunch of queer homos we were pretty much whelmed "oh yeah,...

No really.

may i propose an official tune?

I am so proud to have spawned such a debauched thread, look me up this year sluts!

We got the temple taken care of for 08 when mr best left, maybe a similar effort for the deep end.

But any word on the heir apparent to the deep end for 09? I know this was discussed quite a bit in last years forums, but any word on a similar large scale camp stepping up yet? And before i get flamed to do it myself, i am having my first camp this year, just nothing of that scale, and the deep end...

How will you find it again?[/quote]

isnt the point to get lost? :)

Thanks, ya i have the materials covered, im an army navy surplus addict, however im a very poor engineer/architect, what im mostly looking for is a schematic, with the fiberglass supports or pvp would a rectangular structure make more sense?

Hey guys i wanted to get some feedback/ideas for this year on our shade structure. We are doing a small flying spaghetti monster themed bar and enclosure out of the military desert camo netting. This is our third year, and the first two we came in a small group of friends and basically just camped l...
