I'll have to answer that question with a question. Do you know of a regional(or any place other than the playa) where you can construct a 20 foot tall fire breathing duck that can be admired by people in unusual costumes(or none at all) and then go to a bar someone else made and have a shot of jack ...

I live in Columbus, Ohio. I have been to Burning Man in 09, 10 and 11. Thinking I will take 12 off, it was kind of grueling this year. So far, I have opted out of the regional events because I figure, how can it be the same without the magic playa dust? But on the other hand, it might be nice to me...

For all you folks in this lonely feeling area, keep checking back here: http://regionals.burningman.com/index.html New Regional Contacts are joining all the time, so your town could now have that dot. Also, don't discount those states that are around you....they may have the 411 on gatherings, event...

I'll be going...I'm in Muncie, IN though...so the Spot is much closer than Middletown. Maybe we'll meet......

I've heard that this is a GREAT time, with great folks. I plan on being there and look forward to meeting some new wonderful folks.

Howdy from the Indiana regional!

Do you have a more direct way to get information to a wider variety of peoples? Say yahoo groups, tribe, website, etc? I know that there are a few of us down here that are always on the look out for road trip worthy events/gatherings/get-togethers.

Well, for my part, I like the fact that ice is sold at the event, even though I normally don't bring foods/drinks that REQUIRE ice, it is nice to have around if I want cold water. Coffee, chai, lemon aid, those emergenC drink packs though? Not for me. How do I deal with this? I don't bother to buy t...

Well, much like you Jellyfish, I've been quite the slacker at work. I've been (slowly, but surely) working on getting a party/event going on here in my town. Been working on BM related projects, but never feeling like I'm really getting anywhere with them. Keeping in contact with a few of my fellow ...

I fuckin' hear ya Technopatra!

FFFFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

Well, it was a good time. A little bit of talking occurred, even though we didn't get to the pudding wrestling. It ended up being more of an intimate gathering of like minds than an all out bash.

Oh Chickenfish, Chickenfish
How you make me lick my lips
Oh Chickfish, Chickenfish
You would make such a wonderful dish!

OMG Stuart, you are such a BEA-U-TIFUL Genius!

In 2003 a friend of mine was busted for finding and giving undercover cops rolling papers, not even his. Rolling papers? I've friends that roll their own cigarettes, admittabley, they also roll joints with those same papers, but they do use them for cigarettes. So beware that you can get in trouble ...

Dear Larry,

Thank you for showing me that a small group of friends and acquaintances can do something big that changes peoples lives, the way they think, and the way they interact with the world at large.

See ya on the playa!

Sorry about the multiple postings there. My internet hook-up was acting up and I didn't think that it was posting. Of course it was though. Couldn't even come around to say I was sorry til this morning. Now if only I could delete the two extras.

Yes it is Badger. I'm aware of the rules and I don't like stepping on peoples toes, if it were not BM related I wouldn't have put it here. I've put things up here for HeartBurn, an Indiana/Ohio regional, that we're trying to get off the ground before. I'm sorry that I didn't put in here that it was ...

Hermanious Bosch! Yes. I can definitely see that. Love his work.

Don't know the book though.

All the beautiful people in the glow of the setting sun.

(That and a clean portapottie.)

I understand how it goes on both sides of the flake factor. In 2002 there were supposed to be five of us going, at least. By the time the burn rolled around, it was just two of us. Lots of "I'm going.", "I'm not going." that year. Then last year I was supposed to go, but because of medical reasons I...

Do what you can and forgo the worry that it wasn't enough. I'm positive people won't be bitching you out for not getting around to really pimping out your tent trailer. If it weren't for the fact that it's so hot out there I would suggest doing a retro diner look for the inside. Crome (sp?), sparkly...

First off I would like to know if you're planning on having this done AT burning man? I didn't get that from reading your original post, nor your second. However, it seems that some have taken that way, so I want to be sure about that. If that IS your idea, don't even think about it. However, if it ...

Thanks Technopatra. I've not gone there for quite awhile.

I have a similar, but opposite query. It seems that whenever I do happen to post I am automatically watching that topic/thread. I don't want to be notified. I check the e-playa out at least weekly and I don't want my e-mail box filled with notifications. I want to know if I have to remember to click...

I agree with you, no more themes. I have this crazy notion that people get too wrapped up in the theme and lose the art/heart of BM. Maybe that's just me. Oh and III, I listen. Of course no one really listens to me either.

God's most prized items? And what would those be? Love, compassion, sacrifice? Well, if you're going to think in sort of literal ways, are we not vault of those prized items? Do we not love, show compassion and make sacrifices? Sure, some of us misconstrue what God wants, what God is and the like, ...

I love the idea unjon, but why are you posting it here for someone else?

The idea of starting in heaven, leaving, coming back, leaving, coming back, the cycle of it all, the projected picture, the falling, I love it.

Well, that's just MY 2cents.

OK, I was just thinking of defining new sections and leaving the old posts where they were. Moving over topics would be a bonus. I was on the same page on this one. Thanks for keeping us posted Technopatra! We appreciate all the work that you put in to keeping this board up and running as smoothly ...
