He shot beautiful photos for Burning Man, especially the Borg's calendar... he was my collaborator on Burning Tarot... he was doing Camp Peepot since before most people had ever heard of Burning Man... he was Steven St. Cheese of Drowning Rat... he's shot photos of all sorts of Portland fire perform...

thanks, my burnin' peeps! the Red Cross and government sites tell ya to get a radio/also weather radio, which is sort of adorable and retro, just my style. i was hoping to find something super tiny that would fit in a backpack if i had to flee instantly. a tiny backpack, because i've got a few disab...

So I'm finally putting together earthquake / disaster preparedness kits for my family, and realizing that most of what I need I already have in my Burning Man supplies... except some sort of radio or emergency radio/light combo gadget, probably run by crank or solar. Any recommendations?

i know, i know, you make your own burn. been doing it since the year 2000. i'm aware that i have overall-good years and occasionally overall-bad years, and so does everybody else. but sometimes the vibe changes, and if family matters mean you can't attend burning man for four years, you might come b...

i hope i didn't sound anti-everyone-from-everywhere-else. i just didn't like the find-the-next-cool-party vibe and it reminded me of the global party scene ravers i remember from the '90s. probably they had a blast, learned some stuff, and maybe the other giant party-vibe places will be better as a ...

Last year it seemed the culture was notably different because there were so many more newbies, as a result of "regulars" not getting tickets. Curious whether anyone else noticed that last year, and how that played out this year. I too got a notably different vibe last year, although I didn't attrib...

So - is one allowed to post something along the lines of [redacted] Motel in Alturas, California is rude to Burners and, without contacting me, charged an extra $25 to my credit card, claimed it was for a stained towel, would not send me the towel, accused me falsely of dyeing my hair in their estab...

Wow. I guess they'll have to remove Yelp and TripAdvisor and Facebook from the Interwebs, too.

Hi. Earlier today I posted a thread along the lines of "Burners Beware: [redacted] Motel in Alturas, CA." I posted about a bad experience I had there and some anti-Burner comments the motel had posted on TripAdvisor. Someone who knows a lot of people in Alturas posted, said they were surprised and w...

Looks like the archaeological excavations have begun! http://magdalen.com/blackrockcult/

Howdy. I've got some signs (about 12" x 24") I'd like to post on the Playa at a normal-ish sign height. Our other signs are A-frames close to the ground or similar. I have very limited space and some health difficulties that make it better to use lightweight materials. Any ideas for doing a real pos...

oh i just can't stop posting!

i wanted to say -- if you do want to continue conversation about this, i'm magdalen23 at gmail . the public thrash seems to've gone on long enough.

yes, i did consider that they were in crunch time and that the project they were making was huge and immense, on many levels. i expressed that in my emails w/ them, as well as my delight at the design they posted. i thought it looked beautiful. i may not have explained all of that here. but yes, i d...

whoops, another reply already! hi AntiM -- i do appreciate not wanting something traumatic in one's safe/home space on the Playa, and i'm not bringing that to our camp or to Hushville. and i will be thoroughly struggling if someone decides to have a toddler or an interactive artwork about how great ...

For my perspective your art is not controversial but very personal. I am not really good at expressing myself, but your experiences with this subject is yours. It is not mine and not someone elses. And the nature of YOUR art subject is not that there will be controversy, but that wounds will be ope...

M, i agree that words fail utterly, for many different situations. i've also found that some people derive comfort from discovering that there is a large spectrum of experience related to this issue. none of our individual experiences is the same as the others', but there are connecting threads such...

Tarot poker is on: if you think you can really ante up.

So people have to censor themselves to they don't potentially offend one of the other 50,000 burners? I dunno, that just doesn't sound right to me. doesn't sound right to me, either. i'm just too fucking tired to keep having it out and i'm also bringing the charmingly uncontroversial Burning Tarot ...

I got really turned off to the OP when they started a thread under the name of one of our users. ? i don't know what this means...? i don't believe this thread is closed, actually. i didn't start it in order to have something out with "both parties involved" but to discuss a project i was intereste...

hi - i've been getting some emails and i think people have been reading about last year's Burning Tarot - hold on folks, it's different this year! sorry for the confusion. here is the FAQ: WHERE IS THE NEW BURNING TAROT DECK FOR US ALL TO DOWNLOAD FREE, DANGIT MISS MAGDALEN??? Well, uh, it's a doubl...

dude, there's almost ALWAYS food, drink, tea, or some unholy combination thereof at my art installations and performances! i think i may hold off on the altar. there is only so much heavy bullshit i can deal with, and i've been dealing with a lot of heavy bullshit. some nice people at another temple...

jewels, i may be insecure but i sure have a big ol' ego --- but thank you from the bottom of my bleak little heart for your support and compliments, and i guess for noticing that i didn't make this entire thing *about* my ego. just *part* of it. heh. though my ego was certainly dashed down. it's har...

that would be grand! thank you.

i'll be the one wearing the scarf on her face, oh and some goggles and boots. hee hee.

thank you, anti M, for your reading of my reply. you're right, "the intention is good." i was genuinely wondering about your reasons. thank you for elaborating on them. to all who think i was attacking anti m, i wasn't. i'm sorry if my phrasing was off. i again send my condolences and deeply felt sy...
