I'm really glad I saw this topic, as I was about to create my own specifically to ask if there were any other K-12 teachers who regularly attend Burning Man. I currently work as a language assistant in a French high school and I am really digging it, and am seriously considering getting my teaching ...

So, what is our solution? Braids! Before the event I braid a ton of small braids into my hair. It's great because on the playa I can still do any hairstyle I like- ponytail or etc. - without worrying about it turning into a big clumpy mess. I have extremely thick, curly hair, too, and DON'T want dr...

I make and Play Cedar Flutes; about the only problem I noticed (and learned from) is the Alkaline dust will pit the finish on your piece.

Hello hello! So, I've often heard that bringing instruments to the playa (wood instruments in particular) is bad because of the danger the environment poses to them - not to mention you have to compete with a million amplifiers pumping out techno! :lol: That's understandable to me, but I recently sp...

I even straightened it beforehand, thinking it's be easier to manage, but it didn't take long to become completely unmanageable and it stayed in a braid the entire time. My mother has the same type...

[quote="wildilocks"]I visited your fine establishment twice, and took photographs on both occassions! Your girl Friday was the pinnacle of hospitality and I had some lovely conversations with other patrons on both visits. [/quote] Oh you lovely girl! It was a pleasure serving you. Much thanks for en...

Whatever the hell is going on.. count me in!

Reformed sky pirate Enli checking in! (Degree of reform is questionable.)

Hi there, everyone.. I'm Enli and I'm hoping to attend BM for the first time in 08. I'll be driving up from Orange County CA- haven't found anyone to drive with yet, but my car is small so maybe it's for the better. I'm planning on staying in the steampunk camp. :)
