Re: Main Sale Ticket Success?!
Eplaya is very slow, with intermittent "cannot handle request" errors. Relatedly, the ticket waiting page is on a burningman.org domain. So basically, that domain is getting hammered right now. I'm sure the IT team scaled up capacity for today, but not enough. That said, even if all of AWS was avail...

Re: Main Sale Ticket Success?!
Same here. I clicked the button from Burner Profile right at noon, got the "you're early" message until about 12:02, now I'm in recycle arrow limbo. On the upside, I'm having a noontime beer.

Re: OK so what the hell did I miss (the good old days)?
2007 was my first year, so I missed out on a lot of the early days stuff, but at least for my first 3 years there was no widespread internet access. As with all other aspects of life on Earth, goddamn smartphones drastically changed the event.

Re: Why did Burning Man go to the Hualapai Flat in 1997?
I know why and that was just from casual reading about the event. And you're doing a presentation on it? I'll never understand people taking the time to create a thread on an internet message board basically asking "can you Google this for me." For fuck's sake, man!

Re: A solution to suicides (at the man burns/ temple burns)
The Man and Temple burns are over. The yahoos have ruined something once again. Time to make something else the centerpiece of the event. What would happen if the BMORG staged a Man burn and nobody came? It would be beautiful.

Or, you know, leave before the Man burn. For chrissakes, if you've seen one you've seen 'em all. It's a shitshow at this point, with hedge fund art cars jockeying for which can be the most ostentatious and annoying eye- ear-sore, and wasted yahoos stumbling around like it's Bourbon St on Mardi Gras....

Make Burning Man Hard Again? Camping isn't hard, though! I haven't quite figured out why Burning Man is supposed to have been so hard - beyond bringing a art car or building something massive.

I'm not as anti-airport as Chowski, I'm aware of its history and know that there are lots of good people volunteering there. But, let's be honest, the BMORG is using the airport as a shuttle for the wealthy and "influencers." I realize that part of the reason they hype the airport is due to the rest...
