I thought LOF was excellent!! The gate guys were cool and super friendly! The greeters were awesome and sexy! DPW, Parkers, Rangers and Organizers really got it done! Everyone was BEAUIFUL! A lot of people put tons of work into their camps and art projects. There was a lot of different sound and eve...

LoR,

Ah, come on now. You might look good in pink fairy wings!

Just kidding, thanks for posting the info and your POV,

Child Mullet,

My sincere apologies for not properly accrediting “Trouble at the Border,â€

Film "Trouble at The Border" http://videogasm.tv/video/play.php?vid=85 This film is a follow up to the thread "Was Anyone Harrassed At The Checker's Gate?" It is extra dramatic fiction! LOL! I personally think it's a funny flick. A few things to note are that to the best of my knowledge no PG&E or W...

Everyone, Through the generous act of gifting my economic loss is being restored. I appreciate that very much. I must say that the PG&E people did not knowingly take or use my stuff intentionally, nor did the Welcomers or Greeters. If any of them did, it was because the person / people that stole my...

I swear 7 o’clock was a main corridor for the police. There was a giant boombox art car parked off and on every day by at the end of 7 and Esplanade and there were like 3 BLM Ranger vehicles at one time just hanging around the art car? It was almost like they were harassing their car. Maybe they s...

Thanks again for the great pan shots. And if you don't hear it enough, thanks again. LOL!

I've been able to identify our village for the past two years in your photos right down to my tent. LOL! It's fun to show people once in awhile.

Best,

T

Mars, Nah, I got a lot of gifts over the coarse of the week. So, I’m not asking for any dough, unless of course the perps coughed something up. An apology would be all right and I have gotten some (You folks are awesome and real) A ticket would be awesome, but I have to tell ya, I might end up gif...

Geekster, I don’t know who you are or how you are an authority on whether or not these were G-Staff, imposters, art project people, DPW or whatever. I am not ready to make any assumptions on who, or who these people were, based on what you say. One thing I am very clear about though is that it was...

How did you all get it wrong?

Next year's theme is Revolution! Arm your boats with good vodka!

The PPs on 7 o'clock were not bad, but I swear I heard music, ballet, x-mas or some sort of classical coming out of the can. It was rather refreshing. LOL!

Monday the dust storm and the back up of cars kind of ruined the greeting experience. It was just about impossible. I was going to go back and say hi to the greeters at their camp, but just didn't get there. The greeters are awesome! Hearing them say "welcome home," wow, priceless. LOL!

Geekster, I don’t believe for a second that it is the policy of any department to take people’s stuff. In terms of volunteers. I do have a lot of respect for the people that use their time, monies and energy to promote the event. How can you not? From my volunteer experiences (not at BM) I’ve ...

Geekster,

I don’t disagree, but not everyone at any given time is going to be capable of dealing with people when they are going over “the top.â€

Geekster, On an individual basis one could argue that ultimately it does come down to just taking care of one’s self, but many people are responsible for other’s, in terms of their well being, gear, art, to mention a few things. I feel that the whole Burning Man community has a responsibility to...

Seeing the Devil get spanked at 7 Sins was pretty funny!

Ok Gyre, I just sent a letter to org and if they don't respond to me at all, then I guess I will talk to the police even though I'd really rather not do that and let them put my info in their computers as a "burner" or however they profiles us. That's kind of spooky considering the whole state of Ho...

Gyre, Yeah, I think you’re right. I’ve been romanticizing a bunch of turds. I did look back through this thread and didn’t really see one. I’ll dig around until I find something. Should I be looking on the BM site or the local area police site? At the very least it will be on file somewhere....

DM, Thanks for that. I’m not sure what is perpetuating this anti-glow campaign in such an effrontery fashion as to give the most boorish fucktard a platform for physical and verbal intimidation on the playa, or anywhere else for that matter. I suppose it is an easy issue for the stupid to grab ont...

Gyre and Mars,

I am doing something and I did do something. Here’s my timeline:

Monday Aug 25th: I reported to Ranger HQ to a BRC Ranger who said that they would bring up the situation in the “morning meetingâ€

UJH,

I’m sure that this was an anomaly involving, in my case, the “Checkersâ€

MikeVDS, You are right. I came home trustingly. I can only help in retrospect being so blind and trusting, but I can’t change what happened. I do blame myself a lot more than 5%, but that is a diminishing figure. And I am letting it go, but to say nothing would make me feel like I was totally sayi...

Tool Maker, Yes, it did hurt the theme camp from a gifting standpoint. It’s great to bring things for others, even though they are self-reliant and probably don’t need your stuff, but it’s still cool to help people get their hair glowed up for the night or pass out blinking snowflakes, stuff l...

ns, It was hard to believe. 9 months of planning getting thrown in the dust by a couple of people and few self-serving Staff. It really sucked not knowing what to do and then letting them do their thing. I was trying to weigh the value of the rest of our stuff and planning against the beard of my ki...

Bitter Dan, I want you to know that Momma Lola gave me a Moonshine Tavern Shot glass, which BTW, is the only shot glass I have in my house (I drink out of the bottle). LOL! And I will display it proudly right next to the silver and china. She showed me how to make a May West Cocktail with it. Funny ...

Crux, I love you too. Right on! People like me do need people like you. This did graduate me pretty darn fast though, but I still need people like you! I read more than I post by far, but I hope that bringing this into the firelight will at least keep some people on their toes and curb other’s act...

Boo hoo, too bad, too sad, but I’m going to tell you a quick story with the hope that it doesn’t ever happen to anyone again supposedly returning home.

On Monday the 25th just before the gate was reopened because of the white out conditions, 2 “checkersâ€

Hi there, I'm bringing a few selected poems to read and share. I would like to stop by the Blue Bar and say hi at the very least, because I have not seen a lot of threads about writing or critique. I will be camping with Videogasm and helping out there as well as flying some kites during the day. So...

$4000.00 ?? Ok, that's bad. I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's like the ANTI-BURNING MAN experience.

That's just terrible...

Gyre, Here are the prices for their tent hotels. $700 2 person size tent - (includes 2 onsite camping wristbands) $1400 4 person size tent - (includes 4 onsite camping wristbands) $2100 6 person size tent - (includes 6 onsite camping wristbands) I suppose if the wrist bands are equal to tickets then...
