Re: Found electric bike - assumed stolen
Thanks Sham for correctly understanding this. The bike had a lock hanging on it but it was not locked to itself or anything else, nor was it cut. The owner might have thought the bike didn't need locking in his/her own camp. I am asking strictly for identification.

Found electric bike - assumed stolen
I found an e-bike at our camp. Given the value, I suspect someone stole it, rode it till the battery died, and dumped it. See attached photo. Since this thing is pretty valuable, you'll need to answer two questions: 1) What is the combination to the lock? 2) I found a blinky ring in the basket pocke...

Leather guest book
Our Ali-Bar-Bar guest book disappeared on Burn night from our tent. Perhaps someone thought it was a playa gift, or maybe they planned to write in it and bring it back. Either way, we would really like it's return. There's no questions asked, and we'll provide a prepaid UPS label to return it. Plus,...

Re: VIP makes me sad for them.
I can't speak to greenhouses gases but I can give you pretty accurate info on fuel consumption, which I think would track emissions. A typical passenger jet gets about 80 passenger-miles per gallon (dramatically better than a generation ago) so flying is not much different than 3 people in a car. Of...

Re: Toxic smoke, wednesday night, was that the burning lotus
I happened by as a tow truck was pulling the RV onto the playa. I didn't see the fire but - not to make light of it - the RV looked like the photos you see of bombed out buses - some parts were just skeleton. Fortunately the guy got out without injuries.

Re: 2015 turn key camps and self reliance
I think there are some cases where a form of turnkey camping can be justified, in particular for Burners who have to fly in from other overseas. It's not that some overseas Burners aren't self-sufficient, in fact we had a group in our village from Finland who actually brought and ran a sauna. But "r...

Re: 2015 turn key camps and self reliance
IMHO, we (ie. the larger Burner community) is spending too much time worrying about how a group of others Burn. Yes, we want participants, not tourists, but their numbers are much smaller than their press, and are unlikely to have a noticeable impact. I've always thought that these folks are getting...

I actually also had a knife pulled on me, though in my case it wasn't nearly as frightening.

Re: Should PnP have to pay full price for Sherpia Tickets?
Why do you believe that PnP camps get DD allocations? In 2013, tickets were available on the open market for about $700. This year it was higher, maybe $1,000-$1,500. These camps probably can get all they need on eBay & StubHub at these prices, which is a relatively small part of their cost.

Who was the guy offering shots of Fireball on-playa?
I was offered a shot of Fireball Wednesday night late at a mobile bar around 6pm and maybe 500-1000' out into the playa. The guy was maybe 30-35 and I think part Asian. He was sitting at a corner of the bar, outside, I don't think we was officially part of the bar. Did anyone run into this guy or re...

Re: Bad Behaviour on the Playa
One problem is that the percentage of Burgins has been alarmingly high. Not that I am against growth, but it takes veterans to set the example, and when 40+% of the people are new, they see "non-burny" behavior and assume it's normal and OK. By contrast, when 90% of the people are "with the program"...

I would agree with the posters that the issue of "sherpa" camps is one of participation, not money. A few weeks ago I spent $100 on a concert ticket.

I think for many people the issue is jealousy, but for me it's really just non-participation.

Of course our camp went out onto the streets to invite people to ...

Pavement in 44 minutes from camp. OTOH the trip from pavement to Gerlach took probably a full hour, after that pret...

Re: Death, Taxes and Profits for your Burning Man ticket.
As frustrating as the situation may be, I was watching tickets actually sold on eBay and found that while the prices were still sky high, the number of tickets actually sold each day is maybe 10 or so. So it's not as if most tickets are in the hands of scalpers.

In fact buying one of each works really well. Put the block on the bottom of your cooler, then your food, then the crushed ice. The block stays cold far longer than the crushed, you might replenish the crushed daily and the block less often.
