These photos just make me eye roll: https://www.instagram.com/p/BDtbIJrL3ll/ https://www.instagram.com/p/BEMS6RRL3gN/ Table runners? Tea lights? It just seems too....clean, too organised, no dust, too shiny, TOO luxurious :S I'd feel like I cooldn't sit down anywhere if I visited as I'd leave dusty ...

By the time I made it to my first burn in 2001 there was already a generational shift. The original cacophony and Zone Trip elements were largely gone or diminished. I think the rise of social media began the demise. Once that BM video went viral on Gawker etc etc, thousand of people sat up and sai...

A couple more pics:

I loved the first part of the Ceremony, it was as if the Playa had come to the stadium - fire dancers, apocalyptic dress, and so many art cars!!! All that was missing was ...

There is still a part of the city reserved for no sound systems though isn't there? Only when you arrive at 3am and everythig is dark, you can't always find the street where it is :D Crowd etiquette for a lot of things seems to be going out the window, I've been going to live gigs for years and the ...

I loved burning man this year, but my main issue was the lack of variety in music. It seemed like every night the music was very hard and aggressive dubstep, hip-hop, pop, or very hard techno. There was very little good house music or trance for those of us dancers who prefer music on the softer si...

I got up at 5am to watch the man and temple burns on the Sat and Sun and even with 9k people viewing the man burn, the stream held fast. Wicked

There is other more suitable music than the droning tripe that was playing. Playa audio would have been great. Beautiful burn though.

Lovely shots of the temple burn but my ears are bleeding at the music they are playing. Want to hear Playa audio Turn off the music!!!!

I'm stuck in the UK watching the live feed - it's night on the Playa at the minute and I wish I was there. I reckon that the live feed will attract more and more people to try BM each year, for how can you NOT be tempted by this oasis of neon and propane? It looks SO beautiful anyone with an adventu...

Not sure, but it's still common sense not to do manic zooming and panning, wherever you're doing it from. It's not a Michael Bay movie :D Just watching now and the city is ablaze with neon and propane, I LOVE nights on the Playa. Wish I could teleport there for a few hours, come back then head off t...

Someone else must be operating now, the manic zoomer is probably in bed. Steady footage of a mahoosive dust storm at the mo! I can see my addiction to UStream will stop me sleeping most of this week and not gettin gmuch work done :D Will be up at 3am or whenever it is for the man and temple burns at...

Please PLEASE stop zooming in and out and around too FAST, I'm getting seasick! It's bad enough missing the Burn this year but trying to watch it on UStream is a nightmare. Let us watch people, zoom in on them walking and cycling by so we can see what they wear or drive. Focus on a camp so we can wa...

My gripe is that there is too much "industrial" techno-type stuff that is just tuneless repetitive noise. In 2010 I could find nowhere playing trance or vocal trance, with some actual melody. I went to all the big open air clubs on the Playa and there was no buzz at all for me due to each one playin...

This guy blew me away when I saw him: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs1191.snc4/154326_10150143517287524_759492523_8132256_569672_n.jpg If he's on here please contact me as I want to work on a project here in the UK for Glastonbury and I need to know how on earth he did it. Did he use ...

So I took this photo of something I saw in the Temple this year, which I totally agree with: http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs603.snc4/58312_500511932523_759492523_7178570_6580764_n.jpg And then I learned about the OUTRACE Project on the empty plinth in Trafalgar Square - Audi assembly ...

Came across this for those of you handy with a sewing machine - free pattern! http://www.burdastyle.com/patterns/15-minutes-ski-fleece-hat I made something similar for 2008 and it kept me nicely dust-free and snug spesh at night when the temps dropped. Make one in black and be a Playa Ninja :P Loads...

He got back to me over Facebook! Hi Phoebe, Thanks for your kind comments; I don't think the media have been entirely negative so far, but it is frustrating how difficult it is to get the most important details to penetrate the editing process. Your Burning Man site is amazing; wonderful scale and i...

That's a Brit number but I'd be reluctant to phone him - how on earth did you find that number? May be wise to take it down and just send him emails or messages via Facebook..........

Everyone send him a message!!!!

I'm sure we could track down some contact details with a bit of Googling. It sure is a feat of imaginative engineering, they just need someone who can SING to accompany it

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... wants.html

Not sure if the dust would render it useless though!

That's a LOT of our lotto money spent considering they now don't want it!!

I'll be back at 6am UK time to watch the Temple burn - looking dusty out there though, hope it's not delayed for too long as I have to get ready for work at some point too!

Get hold of this song, stunning. And the lyrics!! SNOW OF THE SAHARA - by Enigma Only tell me that you still want me here When you wander off out there To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow In that dry white ocean alone Lost out in the desert you are lost out in the desert But to stand wit...

I can see it now since the feed numbers dropped. Can't wait to be back there next year!!!

It's 6am in England and I've got up to watch the burn but all I have is a damn BLANK SCREEN and sound. So p*ssed off Can they sort a webcam that will cope with a larger capacity next year? I've been watching the feed all week and now when it's the Burn, I see nothing. GUTTED

Dammit the live stream is just showing a black screen, asll I can hear is sound! NOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! The Burn is about to begin!!!!!

I've been addicted to this live cam all week, it's great for people like me who couldn't go this year. I want to watch the Man and the Temple Burn on Sat and Sunday but don't know what time they will happen on the Playa, so it's hard to know when to tune in over here in the UK. I know that the Burns...

Well sure, if they are gonna steal it they won't give a crap about any personal details left ;) But I was amazed to see how many honest Burners had posted up about cameras they'd found - instead of just putting them on eBay. They recognised that the value of the photos on the camera are worth more t...

I couldn't believe how many people posted up about lost cameras last year. So here's what you do. Type or write clearly your name and email on a piece of paper, then take a photo of it - then if you lose your camera, hopefully the person who finds it will look thru the pics and hey presto - there's ...
