This was posted elsewhere earlier today by someone who's already in: Hello beloved Fish, The surface is the best I've ever seen it. Lightening and rain last night was gorgeous and gone now. Can see a lot of damage to neighbors camps tho, beware . . . but mostly BEWARE: POLICE PRESENCE IS HUGE and IN...

Every summer about this time the Wall Street Journal sees fit to publish an article about Burning Man. I can just imagine the human-interest editor sitting at the head of a table of cubs: "Ok, any volunteers for this year's Burning Man piece? I must warn you in advance, that due to a change in polic...

This has probably been answered somewhere but I can't seem to find it. I was successful in getting 3 tickets in the pre-sale (registered in my name, charged to my card). But my party needs a total of 6. Am I personally barred from entering any of the remaining lotteries to try for the remaining tick...

No worries Jonel - that's short-term cycling carbon (and the other compounds). Doesn't even enter the same conversation as fossil carbon footprint. You can plant recapturing trees, but you can't make coal. Gonna go mow my lawn now . . .

Also remember, once you park your engine need not run for the entire week for the most part, so you're not actively sucking in dust into it.

Check out Suspended Animation and Retrofrolic, both with threads on the next page of this forum.

Does that earn me a spanking?

There IS something to be said for keeping track of time at Burning Man solely by the sun, moon, stars, and the body, but I'm also a clock nerd impressed with the idea and effort here. I guess I can avert my eyes if necessary (well, we'll see about that I guess)

How do we know we're not already re-enacting Burning Man?

I think any examination of American History in connection with Burning Man should include a comparison with the Fur Trapper Rendesvous which occurred annually during the 1820s at various locations in the American West not far from BRC (they knew better than to gather on the Playa) Although not art e...

This sounds awesome! Hope you can arrange some competitive events for the girls as well.

Pancakes, eggs, ham and coffee put out by the good folks of Eagleville CA (pop 116), first town out of Gerlach for those traveling north. It was awesome!

Token, attempt a substantive response, if you are capable.

Zanek – I could not agree with you more. Look back about 3 pages for a thread entitled 3 New York Ladies Looking etc. for more examples of this same crap from many of the same people. It is clear that these folks have nothing better to do than review every sincere post, looking for a chance to pou...

I know their last official year was 2008, when they burned the bar etc. on Sunday or Monday. But I thought they were supposed to morph into something else in 2009, but I never found them/it. Any insight?

I've always loved this one, from a post by Gyre on 9-28-08

"I was bored and I had some propane left"
(meaning 400-500 lbs)

'What a girl said to me late one night, after setting off a fuel air explosion over our camp with no notice.

That actually made sense to me.'

I'm from the playa where one of the enlightened moderators of eplaya has provided the following suggestions for this forum: [quote]Snark. We all do it, and some snark is fine and downright funny. Abusing newbs, even if they are DJs, is not snark. That's just mean. Cut it out. Unless it is the gal as...

Good counterpoints on the desirability of camping close to the Esplanade. I do like being close to the action, and once I'm snoozin, I'm a sound sleeper. I mainly like being able to make a quick walk to observe the activity, sunrise, sunset, etc., in addition to having the ability to more slowly exp...

My only criticism was of the tone and name-calling, not the advice and warnings, which were all admittedly valid. The tone, friendliness, and helpfulness has improved considerably, thank-you. It was just that to hear this obviously sincere, earnest and delightful woman be derogated as a Sparkle Pony...

florstephanie - come on out and have a good time. Although you do need to be well prepared, please ignore the elitist, "I'm Hip And Your'e Not" tone of Token and AntiM. Scrape them off the bottom of your shoe. You will find plenty of that at BM, among those that have forgotten that we all once came ...

Well, here's what I know. TOA attended only in even numbered years, so their last appearance was in 2008, next one presumably this year in 2010. Hence my inquiry. I posted the question here, but also to Alexis' email link on their non-updated website. He responded tonight, saying they are not coming.

Got my own answer directly from Alexi. Sadly, they won't be there.

Anyone know if the Temple will be at BRC in 2010? Their website hasn't been updated since '08.

You left your mark and a memory on me Friday Night at the 7 Deadly Sins. Email me at [email protected].
