"She had had her heart set on having a dusk bike ride out to deep playa as soon as she got there"

And there you have it, setting expectations when in Black Rock City, will bite you in the ass.

That'll teach 'em.

I am now dealing with the owner of The Empire Store regarding this situation. I do not believe that they would ever intentionally do this. They are good people. However, when I called to notify them yesterday, I got yelled at, sworn at and hung up on. I will keep all of you updated on this situation...

Could I put this anymore clearly? The last place that I got gas from was Empire, period.

I will be having the gasoline from my tank tested. So I will come back and answer all of your questions.

And when I called them to warn them, they yelled at me, swore at me and hung up the phone. Had they told me that they were sorry and they would look into it, we would've been done.

No Sham, this was a pickup truck and word on FB is that other people have had similar complaints.

So my truck brokedown in BRC on Sunday, the cause? The gas that I got from Empire Store was almost 50% water! When I called them to warn them that their gas had water in it, they yelled at me and hung up on me!!! Please help me to spread the word about this. I wasn't even asking them to reimburse me...

This thread is full of so much awful that I can't even begin. Skrillex? Really? WTF people, get some musical taste!

I have been awarded tickets.

Hi There all! I'm a "Burgin" as we are commonly called. I DO NOT have a ticket at this point, but am keeping the hope of getting 2 regular price tickets for my love and myself. Although I have never been home or posted on these boards before, I feel for every other person who didn't get a ticket in...

OK Fucko, Number 1) I didn't walk through ANYONE'S camp, period. Number 2)I had a $2000 sound system and DJ equipment in my camp and it was free for anyone to walk through. Do you know why I didn't worry about it? Because I am not a fucking moron and I put locks on my valuable shit. You calling me ...

Do you know that one of the ten principles is radical inclusion? You weren't near 3+A were you? Why would you even make a perimeter? No one owns any piece of land at the burn. I heard about people like you. It made me want to walk circles through your camps. Stupid noobs. You came to my camp, didn'...

Cue the Malcolm in the Middle Burning Man episode.

If you want privacy, take a nice vacation in a secluded desert. If it is privacy that you are looking for, BM is not the place for you. How you could disagree with that is beyond me. Your confusion is not my problem. I never said that I was confused, nor did I say that it was your problem. Let me c...

Really? You are one of those people? Do you know that one of the ten principles is radical inclusion? You weren't near 3+A were you? Why would you even make a perimeter? No one owns any piece of land at the burn. I heard about people like you. It made me want to walk circles through your camps. Stu...

When dancing to Christian Martin at Disco Knights on Friday night, some young kid (25-ish) started trying to dance with my wife, which is fine, I am not the jealous type. Whenever guys dance with my wife, I keep one eye on her to make sure that they don't get out of line. This guy thought that it wa...

My biggest problem with people at the Temple Burn this year was the DPW crew sitting on top of their scissors lifts. When asked to quiet down, one of the DPW girls replied, "Suck a dick whitey!" Dissapointment is not even a description of how I felt. I feel that DPW of all people should understand t...

Are you guys the same people that came pushing through "Nexus" dance floor during the middle of Random Rab's sunrise set? If so, I have some things to talk to you guys about. Not cool. If it is not you I apologize. I just heard a rumor that the people that built the structures were the ones who caus...

This is what the playa looked like at sunset on 1/29/10. Lake Black Rock.

The best way to get gigs at Burning Man is to be involved in your local Burner community. I have never had a problem getting at least 2 gigs throughout the week but, then again, I wouldn't want anymore gigs than that. I am too busy having fun out there to be worried about being on a schedule. Good L...

Great stuff!

Best laugh that I have had all day.

I think that a better analogy would be something like, "I don't support cancer but, I support people with cancer." Just saying.

A lot of this mix is house/electro. Just saying, it's not really exemplary of Psy-Trance.

I am impressed by your usage of the word antithesis. Now, hopefully, you can pronounce it correctly. I am willing to debate you on your point but, you have presented no position on said matter. You believe that glowsticks and feathers should be required......why? Now go look up the word "satire". I...

well I had a retort, and I don't know where it went but to suffice it to say, if your ego won't let you leave your cell at home, YOU are changing the event for the worse. It's bad enough there are generators leaking oil and machinery leaking hydrolic fluids, cars leaking oil and transmission fluid,...

[quote="Tabula Rasa Mistress"]This is a fascinating topic (not fascinating in that some poor burner got injured severely enough to be hospitalized, but fascinating to me for a reason I will explain): My Husband and I have been burning since '03. I love that on the playa, in my experience, the most s...

changoloco, are you going to be enforce this ban? If not, then who? Will they be handing out citations to the violators? Will they have their glowsticks and feathers taken away? I think that bmorg is doing their best by saying that feathers=moop in as many places as possible. I would love to enforc...
