this place did a fantastic job on my rental car this year: http://www.divisaderotouchless.com/ it's in sf but not too far away from the octavia exit so it should still be reasonably accessible from the east bay. their $50 burning man special included interior cleaning, exterior cleaning, tires, ever...

this is the event for you - come try your luck on thursday afternoon for a chance to play the esplanade on burn night!

im the guy that has been bringing the root society effort/momentum to the playa over the last 5 years. i dont know anyone-theres no politics. just a guy who started as a club dj in 1979 and never stopped...along the way i was blessed with the founding of monster.com and the rest is obviously open f...

spidermonkey - you were at the Want It party last weekend, right? there's going to be a halloween gathering at that same space on the 27th. it's not going to be quite as organized, but if you liked the crowd/vibe, the venue, the music, etc. then you might want to swing by... if a flyer design gets w...

^ you're very welcome! :) by the way, the photos from the booth are already up... sweet! i hope plenty of you were able to goof off in front of the camera - there are over 350 shots of party people getting crazy, so definitely check it out. thanks again to everyone who showed up and rocked out with ...

here's the full story for anyone who wanted more details. in addition to these performers, we'll also be featuring visuals by NIMH and paintings by local artists. if you have any questions, feel free to send me a PM... otherwise, we'll see you at the party! dress in your hazardous best! http://i2.ph...

teaser flyers are out!



watch this space for more information as it comes...

a lucky few hundred of you might remember a sweet free underground event called 'The Last Temptation of Want It' from 2006. we're doing it again this year, so save the date! our party is always on the saturday night before the official burning man decompression party on sunday, so plan to rock out w...

RETROWNED!

this is my new favorite thread.

check out Want It (unmapped, up 9:30) if you're into progressive psytrance. in fact, if you're a DJ who plays prog psy, send me a message and we'll see if we can get you some time on the decks. proggy stuff only (antix, flowjob, freq, vibrasphere, etc.) please - none of the super hard bangin' stuff....

Famous DJs or other performers don't advertise themselves at BM this is completely untrue, but i sure do wish you were correct. the last thing i want to see on the playa is a posted "lineup" at some camp, or worse yet, flyer promotion for the big name DJs. it certainly is difficult to adh...

the first order of business is to ignore the naysayers who insist you should switch to CD mixing. i've been bringing vinyl out to the playa for several years now and i've never damaged even one record. you just have to pay *really* close attention to your wax. this bit from the thread linked earlier...

For me burningman is anything my heart desires. nice :) and if your eplaya handle is a reference to amorphous androgynous, we're going to get along even better. and oliver, you won't have any trouble finding that kind of music out on the playa. Want It will definitely be featuring all of the above,...

this whole issue is such a dead, decomposing horse but i guess everyone needs to get their complaints out somehow. the only difference is that this year the thread has a new title (see "300 watts bullshit" from last year for details). there are no easy solutions to this problem. in 2005, w...

our camp (Want It) throws a party every year on the saturday before decompression. details are posted here if you want to check it out: http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic.php?t=15306 last year, our party was ridiculous and then i had the best time ever at the offical decom event. this year is sh...

WANT IT cordially invites yo’ ass to a decompression weekend party for the record books. Check it: Room 1: Hosted by Want It Julio Midnite (Want It) Dirt (Cymbalic, Omniscient Records) mo corleone (Want It, Ambient Mafia) dj chai (Want It) dj.malloc() (Want It) Gowenauf (Want It) Forest Green (Daly ...

i've seen several live bands at burning man and it's always an awesome thing to stumble upon. i can't say i get quite as excited about the scheduled, announced performances that people adjust their itineraries around but that's just a personal preference and applies to any performance. it's not a "l...

hey all, i just wanted to revisit this for the drummers in the thread. swing by Want It (9:30/Chance area) anytime during the week if you want to drum along with our DJs. we are planning to have a separate stage set up with another full drumset, guitar, and bass as well, so bring all your instrument...

what do you think about a chill/midtempo breaks live PA? there is a really talented guy in my camp that would be perfect for this if you have the resources and space to house a live PA act.

i checked out the carousel website... very nice. there looks to be a good group shaping up here so far - i recognize mic rage and sandwichman both from our DJ roster at Want It last year. any idea which side you hope to be camped on? did carousel go through the official registration process or is th...

i'm always interested in adding live instrumentation to my sets. hollis: let me find out where i'm spinning this year and i'll send you a PM with the details when the time comes. i'm probably going to be playing a lot more dnb (as opposed to house and breaks) this year on the playa than in years pas...

i enjoyed the book. my gf and i actually took turns reading it aloud to eachother as we drove home from the playa this year. there are enough familiar bits in there to keep just about any burner entertained. i'm also considering loaning it to friends of mine that are thinking about attending in the ...

This is simply not true. Go through the registration process. The placers do very well. Not perfect, but very well. please go re-read my original post in this thread. we did exactly that - for the first year ever - and found that the reaction to our sound setup was even less favorable than in the y...

robbidobbs, i was a witness to one of your (many i'm sure) portapotty performances. i must say, i applaud your committment. commandeering shit receptacles has got to be one of the most thankless volunteer jobs on the playa. bravo!

You may be thinking of the Pillow Fight Club. It was a big, elevated trampoline surrounded by a mesh enclosure and filled with dozens of white pillows. The fights were extremely vigorous, leaving the combatants exhausted and exhilarated. Great concept and wonderful execution! waaaaaait a minute. wa...

Next year I may make a mobile art project designed to fling 5 to 10 gallons of water 100 or so yards and hire myself out to bombard the electronics of camps that insist on pumping out the sound at all hours. Hey, it's the burn, read your ticket, I'm free to do that if I want to, right? it's amusing...

I talked to Tiesto before my set at Opulent and he is a really down to earth guy. he didn't want anyone to even know he was there and wasn't really even sure if he was going to play. i'm having some difficulty trying to reconcile this statement with the fact that i walked by opulent temple and saw ...

While it appears the "rules" were not really enforced, they are pretty clear regarding how much power you can run if you are not in a designated loud area. I assume you were running much more than 300 watts and were not in such an area? i'd like to address this "designated loud area" bit as well. t...
