Yep, driving at night is fucking nuts! Even early in the week now! I used to think it was a blast but now it feels like I am playing a video game and always on edge! The co-owner of The Dirty Sardine Can made his own vehicle this year (Swingline stapler) so I was driving much more than I wanted. The...

Out of 12 years of leaving the place, this was not my shortest nor longest exodus, but it was one of my best. We left around 4:45pm Sunday and had about 4 hours until pavement. But the "pulsing" was rad! Totally prevented the need for everybody to be on guard so that douchebags don't cut in front of...

Fucking Freebird. Just... horrible. Everything else was just lovely though :) I keep waiting for someone to explain this, but it doesn't seem to be forthcoming. DPW lost a core member of their group this year. The playing of freebird was a tribute to him and was in no way meant to be any form of a ...

Left at 2:30pm Sunday. The radio said there was no wait for the Exodus a couple hours earlier so I figured that meant Monday would be horrible (I was wrong). But I cruised all the way out to the pavement! There was some wait traveling through Gerlach but I don't mind being on the pavement and where ...

Strings may be pulled somewhere to get some of the golf carts in (if not disabled). I think a goal should be (and I know DMV looks for it) to modify it radically enough that people have to ask what it was before. It doesn't necessarily have to be El Pulpo Mechanico or the likes as some of us have ve...

I got pulled over right when I entered. He was standoffish at first but I was very polite and looked him in the eyes. He said my trailer lights were out and I told him they were working when I left. I said that maybe the plug came loose and he said I could check it. It was loose and the lights worke...

Can't the forums be locked during the event? Seems like the only posters during that time are spammers anyway.

I didn't get a ticket because I am white!

yeah, checking ID's.......it's not like going to a concert: vehicles have to be searched, if a vehicles has many participants within, they all have to get out, and hand their ticket over one at a time....... Imagine the fun, of taking ID's and having to scan or whatever, each person. Then, search t...

I disagree with that statement.. although, it would take more time to check tickets with names on it.. it wouldn't be that much longer. Have someone check everyones tickets, and match them to I.D's while the vehicle is getting searched. If you can't check 4 tickets and match them to 4 I.D's in the ...

I'm watching Stub Hub fill up as we speak. One scalper has a quantity of 8 that they are selling for $1500 a piece. Many with 4 for $1200. Oh here is another guy with 8 for $825 (now that sounds like a steal!). I would really like to stop scalpers, no matter how inconvenient! This is just the beginn...

Were you the guys playing that song with the "my vagina" lyrics? That was one of the funniest songs I've ever heard. We saw a pair following the sardine art car who were playing some silly song and the two leo's where laughing their asses off ,it was pretty funny...... Ha ha! That was me driving! W...

We saw a pair following the sardine art car who were playing some silly song and the two leo's where laughing their asses off ,it was pretty funny...... Ha ha! That was me driving! We were playing a song by Jon Lajoie - Show Me Your Genitals. He pulled up next to us and stopped us. I wrote down the...

Sentiments like the above are why I leave early Sunday. Fuck the Temple, I'm fucking embarrassed to be associated with or indirectly funding this tasteless hippie-religious abomination. Plus, it was ugly as fuck this year. Isn't there something in the Ten Principles mandating separation of Church a...

This spammer is everywhere! "grodopnpile"

I highly reccomend you guys check out this aclu video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqMjMPlXzdA no, you dont have to be the geek that carries the aclu "i know my rights" card in their wallet, but the video covers some pretty clutch non confrontational stuff, like- when you get stopped by the poli...

Okay, I've got a story. I've been wanting to do this for many years, but for the first time this year I took an "official" art tour put on by The Artery. It was a pretty hot day and the tour started at 11 am. They loaded us on to 5 different art cars. I was on the Kazbus. On top. Next to me was a v...

So anyways, one of my travel mates gave them his pipe and gram of weed. They then handcuffed him put him in a car and drove him 120 miles back to Welco Co. prison for booking without reading him his rights..... I'm sorry your friend doesn't know his rights. The cop undoubtedly gave your friend the ...

Well, I can guarantee my MV won't get any top honors. However, it was built and funded by just me and a friend so you can't expect much. Survived five years so far. This year it was a furry taxi which was a bad idea if I was trying to get somewhere but I certainly met some amazing people from all ov...

Of course we are arguing opinion but a place of reflection and/or worship does not have to be beautiful or awe inspiring. That said, this temple sure was butt ugly and it was the first time I didn't think "what a shame to burn this".

I really hate when ancient threads get dragged back to the top and I get all angry reading them before I realize they're 5 years old. You will be okay Bluemandrew. Take a deep breath, rub your ben wa balls and go to your happy place. :lol: The topic is just as relevant back then as it is now. In fa...

[quote="oneeyeddick"]was that dude a tall, fit looking fellow, with short blackish/drk brown hair?[/quote]

He was no taller than 6 feet. He was skinny if that's what you mean by fit.

Okay, I got lazy and only read the first page so sorry if anything I said has been said before. I first want to say that anybody considering bringing a mutant vehicle for the first time, it's a bigger pain in the ass and responsibility than you might think. Just wait until you have to stand in line ...

Critical Segregation Party! Cool! :roll: It seems even many women were set off by this. I'm sure those women who are only into women or hate men were okay with this (yes, no?) but in my opinion, it alienated more people than it empowered. I think a possible solution to this would be to have two part...

". i wonder which art car was the red,white,blue light special? sounds fun... Pretty wimpy looking art car in comparison to many of the other awesome vehicles but it was built entirely from scratch (no existing frame) and it was only two of us who built it. I guess we stand out to some though becau...

Yeah, got a lot of compliments for the music I played this year and last on the Red, White, and Blue Light Special. Played things like the Clash, Dandy Worhals, Sublime, The Guess Who, and some funny stuff like SNL Shorts: On A Boat and Jizzed In My Pants. At night, I moved to stuff with more beat b...

Yup, the camp across from me did that. Hell, they paid good money to bring their own private porta-potties out there. They were nice enough to let us use them a few times. It's nice to share with your neighbor camps and maybe a desperate soul in need but there is a limit. Hell, I always bring tons o...

Ha! That's wrong but funny!

I had some of that coffee to wash down a couple Fiber One bars. Luckily the fiber acted quickly and next thing I knew, there was a swarm of law enforcement surrounding the porta potty I just used used.

Slide got me pretty good all over my body.
