excellent depth of field

I like this idea too. I visited the book mobile on my first trip to BRC, and it was fun. I'd definitely participate in yours. I'd be willing to print out and bind some copies of good public domain books from online. PM me if you decide to do this! Jenny p.s. While we're talking books, I just reread ...

I'll save mine for ya - I get a ton. I don't know why though, I didn't have a good track record years ago when I did the credit thing. Maybe they're hoping I'll do the same thing again and pay them interest for years... Evil. I like your idea.

I like amazon's new concordance feature which shows you the 100 most frequently used words in a book. this is from one of the books about burning man: above across again am another art away beauty behind black burn burned burning cannon circle city clowns come crowd dance day desert down dust end ev...

hey DallasPlaya,

How did you ship your stuff? UPS?

I was looking into this issue a lot last year, but I ended up renting an SUV and driving there. It was a fantastic drive (30hrs) and I recommend it if you have the time. There are a number of midwestern groups that are big enough to rent semi-trucks and take all their stuff to Burning Man, and they ...

Ooh, if you wanna hear sort of what i have in mind, you can listen to me here:

Hey all, I'm looking to hook up with someone who plays the piano and maybe is bringing their keyboard or piano with them to BRC to work on a set to perform. If you do play, but don't want to bring your keyboard (totally understandable), I'd be happy to bring my crappy one. It's quite crappy though. ...

What a beautiful story. It made me remember why I am going back this year. I looked on your site for more stories. Cool fractal..

Thanks.

Anyone in Chicago want to go in on a drill press with me? We can share the cost and all use the drill press this summer to make our domes.

Yay sharing is fun! Respond here if interested.

Thought this article was interesting and right on:

Here's a clip if you don't want to register: "At first glance it looked like something in the window of a TriBeCa furniture store, an oversize lamp from the early 60's maybe. But when Kate Chapman flicked a switch and the three-foot high latticework cylinder in front of me began to spin, it was clea...

Hey all, I just read this article in the NY Times and I thought it was interesting: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/20/garden/20mach.html?oref=login You might have to register to see it. Does anyone have one of these things and take it to the playa? If not I think it would be really great to make a s...

the best part of it for me was that i didn't know what i was getting into. i fully expected the experience to be "over my head" it's what happens next that is the most exciting, right? how i dealt with the unknown was the deal. move on, go go go

hi lostsoul, i'm in chicago and my signif. other and i are looking to share a ride with someone in order to split costs. are you taking a truck or a car? (i have a bunch of stuff to haul.) i checked out your website, and i liked it a lot - we might get along well. you can email me or pm me if you're...

I seem to have struck a chord with Sams from near and far! Even if nothing else were to come of this, I still feel better already somehow just acknowledging it and hearing from you guys. Mr/Miss. alkali - your post made me feel great. I think this could be a fairly simple project to accomplish. We c...

I wouldn't worry. There are plenty of clothed and naked people. You can do either - and sometimes naked people are chastised to be clothed (what's that I heard about a pants cannon?) and clothed people urged to liberate and run free, but it's ultimately up to you. What ever makes you feel the best i...

i fancy myself wearing a dress made out of parts of old tvs...

hey raven

your chicas are here.

what next?

Hello dome mavens and sharks, I'm working on my first 2v dome for burning man this year. While I'm fairly confident about stitching a kick-ass dome cover this year, I have a few questions about the construction. Looking around the internet I've found some incredible instructions for conduit domes, b...

I only saw this one in pictures, but it is awe-insipiring, odd and truly BM to me: it's $teven Ra$pa - and I love it!

Also, if you get a great outfit idea while you're on the playa - or see one that you want to copy, er, emulate, you can come to my camp and use your street clothes and my supplies to make it happen. I think I'll be registered as streetwear recycling camp or the like.

I've been noticing lately that I have been reacting with a lot of negativity to situations in my life. I have a car again (yuck...) and I get very frustrated at stupid drivers, even when I do some of the things I complain about as well. Also, I'm waiting tables, and there's so much negative energy g...

I'd like to throw in that you can be as imaginative and wild as possible. What you think is 'too far' while at home can suddenly seem plain and borning after 5 minutes on the playa. Also, if you get there and start overflowing with ideas, stop by my camp and feel free to make over what you brought i...

I'm thinking Dome Day will be in May, when it's a little warmer. I'll send out the invite when the time rolls around.

p.s. I'm in Chicago.

I am getting a nice tent for my birthday. I stand around at my job as a waitress sketching my camp layout. (I can draw an okay octagon now.) I literally lay awake at night thinking of best cocktail to serve my guests whilst they make over their street clothes into creations fit for the playa. (Marga...

i'd love to be involved too. what's next?
