When we registered our art car (after waiting 4 hours) we were told that our car needed a new paint job and that we should consider doing something more artsy. The car just got a new paint job, is supposed to be ghetto, and is not "pretty art." Not to mention we've been on the playa for 12 years wit...

Not sure if you are aware of this or not, but camels used to be at burningman. Many years ago, my friend's dad brought them out. Along with guns and weapons. Return to old?

Bring some work gloves to help break down camp or help someone setup their camp. Have a non-newbie show you how to dislodge rebar and offer to do everyone's rebar. Take the cans to recycle camp. Take your neighbors trash home. Offer a hippy a bath. Don't get too messed up that people have to take ca...

Husband just showed me my plane reservations for Reno on his fancy phone. Suprised me with ticket, airfare and arranged a crash pad rv as well. The only thing I did and will do is pack my carryon. BRC. Here I come. Sorry 'bout your FOMOs!

We put tin foil on the inside of the windows and secure with blue painters tape. Half way through the event, we take out and rinse or replace the AC filter. Just be forwarned, your RV will look like a crack den. You can try and tarp it, but unless you can tie a good knot, it will rip, tear, and blow...

When you smell a porta potty and think you are at home.

Will someone f*((& me and make this hair legit!

Good luck with that gathering. You might want to check your schedule. The Man burns on Saturday.

PS After your gathering, I hear Paul Okenfold is playing at the perimeter fence.

Don't worry. You're FOMO will be over in 5, 4, 3, 2...

Actually, you did miss something big, but you will never know...

Ooops. Sorry I missed it. I was in my Cruise America RV rental, evolving.

MMMM. Kitty jerky.

Don't forget the dental dams...

No, no, no. Do what you did last year, leave them at home in Arizona. Maybe your AC will die out and you can bring them to dead kitty camp for tea in 2010...I'll save you a seat by the turnstyle.

Why not just bring a shopping list? I know it is hard to give up local grub, but we do have rice and canned goods...I promise. You might even be able to find a Trader Joes.

Get a Segway. Our camp's gimp loves his. His feet don't hurt, cause he can't feel them.

Why are you making one day ahead? You could actually start 30 days ahead, so no stress, even if you only have to drive from Reno. When you freeze stuff, just make sure not to fill your ziplocks 100% full, double bag, freeze them flat (instead of in one big rock). If you have the time, use the dry ic...

You can always not bring bikes, bring and extra $100 and buy two bikes along the way in Gerlach. Get the bike rack, but save the hassle of hauling bikes both ways. Also, don't buy ice, groceries, or anything until you get into RENO or Sparks.

The theme sucks and is too specific. What the f*&^ is wrong with you? I am way too proud to attend an event called the American Dream. It actually takes away the purpose of the event. Dear BM and Mr Harvey. Change the F*&^'ing theme. Consider this Artica volunteer gone next year and thanks for the m...

I just got the August to September 2007 guide in the mail and it stinks to high heaven. Please tell me these are soy based inks and not some toxic stew. Bravo for recycled content-is it post consumer? If not, shame on us.

the last thing I want to see is myself engrossed in another hour of the idot box and watch my naked ass riding by on the discovery channel. the thought of more mass media and camera's at burningman is unnnnnnerving. I am entitled to now becoming part of some other person's reality TV show. not to me...

Last year we covered our dome with the following and it was at least 15 degrees cooler (okay, at least it felt like it was) Top of dome arch:Double ply silver tarps, cut in triangle pattern and attached around a center circle for top ventilation. Skirt of aluminet: Aluminet can be kind of expensive,...

What ever you do, do not consume a bottle of champagne at 7 am to relieve the pressure of camp drama. it does not work and the bottle of pedialyte required to counter act it is worse than piss.

Trust me.

Don't forget a cooler for dry goods...Keeps most the playa on the playa.

Frozen Tamales and Potstickers. Food with flavour? Priceless. Pack all your dry goods in a cooler. Instant food gets really old, really quick. No need to refridgerate if you bring unripe: mangos, avocados, cucumbers, carrots, and onions. You will thank me for the cukes when you put them on your eyes...

We bought the silver tarps from Harbour, and doubled them up. Voila.

On da dome... Paint only the ends. Too much paint just flakes off. We could not afford the super duper sunblocker silver tarps, so we doubled up less expensive heavy duty silver tarps. It was ~15 degrees cooler in the dome than out. Potties... Forget the black water. The port-potties are well mainta...
