Dear Family,

After a great deal of discussion, the original members of Stag Camp have determined that the group has reached its “Critical Mass,â€

So, I'm working with these fake flowers that I don't trust not to lose plastic pistons without being secured by glue. I have a glue gun, but I'm thinking that, based on the size of the little flowers and wanting to glue them on several sides--not wanting to have to stick my fingers in hot gluey pile...

That was worth a half dozen smiles after a shitty day at work. Burners certainly have ways with words! Thanks!

Just learned about the Rainbow Gatherings not long ago and I was wondering if any burners had experiences at these events. I'm massively curious--though with their yearly gathering being just about a month before the burn, I probably don't have the option of going. (Wouldn't that be world though?!) ...

Oh God, and my one fetish is exhibitionism. I think that's a sign for me to step.away.from.the.computer.

Amphibiac, I am so impressed by your long-term silent lurking. That really shows some serious dedication!!! Welcome home buddy.

Hey AntiM, thanks for the attention! Always good to see your shiny icon on our thread (or any thread for that matter!). We would definitely like to keep this thread open. It's the heart of our communication with the eplaya community. My post was just intended as a friendly reminder to try and keep p...

Hey guys, Love the pictures and jokes and all but just a quick reminder to try and keep things a bit more on topic. The one thing we've asked of new Staggers (besides self-sufficiency) is that they read the Survival Guide as well as our ENTIRE thread, which is now sixteen pages, so they understand t...

My favorite video today and every day this week comes from the totally awesome hard work of misterjellyfish--Zsu Zsu: The Cry Baby Drama Queen. Thank you so much for sharing this, misterjellyfish! Can't wait to find your art on the playa.

All right yall, sorry to post up in the eleventh hour agian-- I won't be able to keep abreast of all this activity until after graduation. A few things that happened along the last few pages that I want to address: Mozy's stag image was fantabulous and I think it says something important about Stag ...

A stag party with the booby bar sounds great. Let's make this happen. How about someone who knows the booby people reach out and discuss??? (I nominate Opie and Shell???) Date/time for Greeter's shift still in the air; Stef has been in contact with the schedulers, who are working out the calendar no...

Awesome, guys-- Stef is coordinating with the dude on actual date/time of said greeters shift, and then she is going to email people personally and have you sign a contract in blood upon which your soul depends. Just kidding. Or am I? Muahahahahah. In other news, I just signed on with the Center Cam...

P.s. Those of you that are thinking to volunteer, get talking to Stef. Emails are flying around and the groups are scheduling NOW. I've head from three different teams in the last week. There are a ton of cool ways to get out there, interact, give back, and be a part. Also, a great way to make sure ...

I'm going to escalate and say a half larger... This is because, this year, we have two chill spaces, one musical and one not. Fabulous! To steal Stefanie's word, I'm pre-missing you all. Dreamcatcher, you've got to stop by! Would love to hear about your travels. Love to all from my ridiculously over...

PS: Lakshmi, thanks for the great memory. DAMN we all look good.

Alright yall... the reason I haven't been able to read the last three pages until tonight is that... I've been off breaking my back making money so I can pay my way to the place where there is no money. Oh, the irony. Plllllllllllllease no more talk of money: I am stressed to shit about it, miss you...

i'm also among those going minimal this year. since i'm flying to wherever my jumpoff point is, it's going to be me and a tent, possibly no blanket or sleeping bag, minimal food, but maximal water and booze. what i will not do without? baby wipes, and, for the women, they have special *ladies* baby ...

Just showing my face--been MIA during finals these last couple weeks. I'm glad to see we've got so many new and excited faces and that all our old staggers are posting up as usual. The holes in my fingers from the last sewing party are almost healed. Motsky's jacket is nearing completion--I turned a...

There's always this ad on tribe I followed the link to once -- http://www.ilaniowear.com/ -- that has some interesting furry coats and vests and outfits... Also, doing a search for "fur" on ebay and following one of the clothing links turns up some rockin fur tank tops, jackets, and skirts. I also r...

Alright. I did it. Even though my job doesn't start for another month... and is hardly even a guaranteed thing... I gave them the number to the plastic thing that lets me spend money I don't have. My burning man tic should be in the mail some glorious day soon. Long live our credit based economy! Lo...

"I hope everyone is hungry" on a tombstone is the most delightfully macabre and gothic thing I've heard since my last read of Oscar Wilde. Made my morning, twin, very nice.

I kept mine in the secret stash that holds my checkbook and passport when not in use. Says something about priorities in life?? ;)

Questions re feathers, because I've noticed some strong opinions on them: I've a headpiece I've been slaving over and am dearly attached to. I know I've seen people, esp in the white procession, white pheasant head pieces and other feather creations.... I've sewn through the stems of each individual...

Alert: Nikki is drunk. Nikki is posting on eplaya. Nikki would like to make a statement of thanks. The visit of David Opie to Chicago has reinvigorated in her the spirit of the burn. Since then, like David, she has been experiencing spontaneous smile syndrome. Nikki is also thankful that she is lear...

I don't think they'll give Stag a shift pre-event, because it's 10 to 20 people, but I'm working on getting in as early as possible. I'll miss the next three burns due to Peace Corps... I'd like to get as much dust as I can! ;) I'm hoping to help build the greeter's station and be a greeter the week...

twin -- uhOH! you got it bad! it'll subside after a while, for a while, then be back in full force like nothing you've ever experienced... before last burn, i will sitting at my computer hitting the "refresh" button on tribe, in case someone had posted something that hadn't shown up yet. i worried f...

Interesting question. I did not find an answer at greeters.burningman.com, buuuuuuuuuut... Since we'd be volunteering to staff a shift as a camp, I don't know that they'd even notice. You certainly already have the playa spirit of an return burner! ;)

Thanks for the volunteer info, Stef! I filled out the form today, and within hours got a really playariffic message from the Playa Info coordinator that made me smile. Still crossing my fingers to hear from the Greeter's. The more I think about it, the more I'd like to be out in the dust meeting bur...

I would be way pleased if piowman is plowman's brother. I would thank him for leaving plowman fake tits in his tent, which made for awesome photos.

crappypants and twinwitin, thanks for checking out the tribe situation. even though that site will probably be a bit quiet for now, perhaps our newcomers want to go over, skim through the "Introduce Yourself" section and post up. it helps kinda personalize things and to clarify stuff like...
