Thank you as always for sharing this wonderful gift! Perhaps one of these years I'll actually make the stop, it'd be great to meet you

Are you seeking submissions for this year? I've got one for the in/out:

Out: picklebacks | In: dunkaroos

Found a ring during Resto that appears to be actual gold. I'm imagining someone wants this back, so I'm trying to find the person who lost it. Reply with the size and description of the ring you lost. If I can reunite it with its owner I'll be happy to do so, otherwise I'm hawking it

They were not in a case. I emailed with Julian, and found that he lost his glasses toward the end of the event. I found these on Tuesday. Thanks for the connection, I hope he finds his glasses!

You all were so hospitable and good to me when I dropped by midweek! I really meant to come back over to bring some whiskey to share, feeling like an asshat that I never made it.

Anyway, your camp isn't listed in the official theme camp registry, so mayhaps one of you is on here?

Oops! Didn't scroll down enough to see there was a separate category for found items.. So sorry for the duplication (can't figure out how to delete other post), but anyway; Found item! Did you lose your glasses? These were discovered in the dust on the way between 5:15 & the airport. https://sconten...

Aaaaand... problem solved. I love Burners, we're such a resourceful lot

Be safe & burn brightly everyone!

Vehicle broke down last night. Any chance anyone is heading from Alturas to playa in the next day or two and has a little extra room? THANKS!

Excellent information! Thanks Trilobyte, I'll definitely look them up! Also looking forward to the return of El Pulpo Mechanico and the NeverWas Haul. Yay!

Does anyone know if the Airship Victoria are bringing their project this year? http://www.airshipvictoria.org/

This is a hugely ambitious project, and I've enjoyed seeing it's different stages of progress over the last couple years. Can't find any word about them for 2012 though

I emailed my team lead and asked to be added to the DPW email list. Thanks!

As much as I can be... from what I'm told, there won't be much of a "gate" yet. But I know who to ask for to find my crew.

Just got accepted to fill a last-minute vacancy on DPW, now I gotta figure out how to get down there by the 12th. Packed *very* minimally; just me, a suitcase, a milk crate, and tiny tent/bedroll. Yes, I'm already on the official burning man ride share site. Everyone offering rides from here to ther...

FireDiva: are you involved in coordinating the Hawaii regional? Do you know Seth? Sounds like he's coming in for SOAK anyway, but tell him I say Aloha!

BTW, in case you're not aware; "Community" is now a drinking game. Every time someone says it, everyone drinks. That's two- drink up, hippies!

Our regional sold out last year, which is why we've had a site location crew scouting around for months already. Further fueled by the Community*s collective indications toward dumping all their burning energy into the local event, they just announced earlier that they've got a site pending which wo...

So from the vibe I'm picking up from the movers & shakers in my local area, only one, maybe two camps are gonna make it this year, circumstances being what they are. There seems to be a general consensus of "let's just make our Regional Burn that much more awesome." Though I'll miss the playa, I'm n...

*sigh* Juplaya sucks. Stay home. Yes. This. ^ I went with a friend last year. This is *NOT* Burning Man. There is no predesignated safe area, and remember this terrain IS trying to kill you. We ended up having to utilize the spare tire right after making it onto the playa surface. We were then subj...

I really want to remain positive about all of this, but knowing as many Portland area camps & MV projects as I do who didn't get anywhere near the number of tickets needed, I'm still a bit skeptical. Personally, my theme camp is small and fledgeling (we've been around a few years at our Regional, bu...

So the Org is, in fact, revoking tickets being scalped? Please confirm, along with what specific info is needed to stop the scalping. I'll help keep an eye online

Yes, I meant that tickets would only be transferable through the Org, not that they would be refundable.

IMHO, the fact that so many scalpers popped up when the event sold out just 5 weeks from the start (some tickets going for as much as $10,000. Wish I were joking), pretty much guarantees that they'll be all over this one. They now know that the event will sell out, and even people who are dedicated ...

This is a really terrible idea for a number of reasons. 1. Large camps may end up losing key members due to sheer bad luck. 2. Small camps may end up losing people who are NECESSARY to actually get there (i.e: transportation). 3. Families might end up with one member getting a ticket and another me...

These are beautiful images! Thank you, BBadger and BoulderBurner

Lovely pictures, thanks Joshua!

Our multi-year regional theme camp, Camp CAUTION)!( is making it's Rites of Passage playa debut! Come out and play with us! We offer the world's most dangerous miniature golf course, ski-ball, the Sit'n'Spew, the Blunderdome, and in the evening- Flaming Tetherball! Join us Tuesday morning for our Gr...

So I'm in the process of finishing up this year's art installation- many thanks to those who encouraged going to register at the Artery last year; it was simple, enjoyable, and rewarding! I actually applied for placement ahead of time this year, and got really sweet placement! Now, to complete this ...

CORE, the Trojan Horse, and the Temple (didja read about how they're planing to anchor the Earth Harp to it?!?) Honestly though, I have to echo earlier sentiments about not making too many plans, or having expectations. Often I find that installations I've really been looking forward to disappoint, ...

Will do. Thanks so much for the info, everyone! Looks like the form is tailored to help with exactly such issues as placement and fire/safety.

Can't wait to bring our spaceship out to share! Look for it toward (hopefully) the 10:00 side of the deep playa

Thanks for the input, Dustdevil! Do you know whether it's difficult to get desired placing, if not too specific?

Also, you say the Artery IS open... on playa? We don't have early arrival passes. Is there an online form I can fill out, or should I just check in when we get there?
