Just in case anyone's in the same position I am, here is BMORG's official response: You should submit a name change request for the DDTs that you have so they can go to your camp members. If this happens before they're mailed out, they can be mailed to the new owners directly. Alternativly, you coul...

The defensive bit wasn't directed toward you, Savannah, apologies if it came off that way. It stemmed from this: Also I was under the impression that you couldn’t get a STEP ticket if you got one someplace else. There does seem to be a bit of double-dipping going on. Sad and disappointing. Congrats ...

Thanks, Savannah! I haven't already ordered my STEP tickets. I emailed them and I'll stop by the office before the end of the day today if I don't hear anything—they can't ignore you when you show up at their doorstep (gotta love being a local). And I really don't think what I'm doing is "gaming the...

So I got a STEP ticket, but I have a question. I already had purchased a camp-allocated ticket with one of the codes given to my camp. My camp has a waiting list of people without tickets, so I'd like to take the STEP ticket and give my camp ticket back to the camp. Is Burning Man going to kick my S...

I'd just like to say that I think most people don't realize quite how many camps are getting tickets. At the meeting where they announced this, someone asked if 500 was a decent guess, and they (Harley Dubois) said it was. That's roughly half of the registered theme camps out there. Want to know who...

I didn't get a ticket. But that's not why I'm angry. I'm angry for a number of reasons, but not that. I'm angry because the Burner community came up with dozens of perfectly workable solutions to the problem of distributing tickets (Glastonbury-style is my favorite), and BMORG studiously ignored eve...

As a result, there are a lot more tickets being requested than there are tickets available -- an inordinately large number, in fact, and far more than we projected even after last year's sold-out event. I'm sorry, but any 13 year old who's ever tried to get tickets to see Radiohead could have told ...

I broke down and bought a dust-proof housing from Amazon for my D90. Cost about $70. I'll let eplaya know how it works after this year...

Skinny Kitty Teahouse will be serving tea and the occasional homebrew all week at 3 and G.

It's like the camp, you have to find it for yourself...

How do DWIs and wheelchairs work, anyway? They're not that cruel, are they?

If this guy's not a burner, he probably should be. Not every drunk driver should be a burner! :roll: Besides, we have enough drunks as it is. Don't get me wrong, I'm not advocating driving under the influence, especially at the burn. But you have to admit that the idea of driving your chair from ba...

I have an 18' Playa Dome from them, and have no complaints (other than the fact that, if I got off my ass and fabricated one myself, it'd cost half as much).

Thank you to Surly Camp for the jump from their art car (and the "talking shit is our art" sticker), to the Alchemist from Bacon without Borders for the bbq and spicy thai flavored bacon (mindblowing, I tell you, this guy's an evil genius), to the extra couple of people we grabbed in the temple to h...

Friday night/sat morning lineup at the opulent temple 2008:

05:30 J'Sin
07:00 Atum

Never heard of either of them...

From the burning blog:

"One of the greeters had plugged in a vacuum and reversed the flow, and he was dousing all the arriving cars and trucks and buses and RVs with an early taste of the playa."

Looks like it was an actual greeter after all.

I know they're from the coastal Mendocino County, CA area, but that's it. Good luck!

Wow.

Get on pearsontowers.com and download mixtapes by Balkan Hotstep Soundsystem and Typsy Gypsy. I think that's more or less what you're looking for...

One of my friends is sitting in front of our camp with a megaphone heckling passers-by when a car drives by. "SLOW THE FUCK DOWN!" he yells. The car obediently slows down. My friend gets a grin on his face. "You know what? Stop." The car stops. "Alright, now back up!" The car starts backing up. Pric...

I'm 90% sure that's Rusko, but I'm not sure the name of the song. Just go download a couple of his mixes and I bet you'll find it...

I would never camp anywhere but Skinny Kitty Teahouse. That said, we could've used a bit more room this year. There were whole structures that just didn't get set up due to lack of space...

Tipper's playing at Simpler Times on Friday from 2:45 to 4am.

Just stop by -- 3 and F. Look for the big saddle-shaped sound tent and the several-story scaffolding tower. The baby grand is just sitting there unplayed as often as not, so setting a performance time is pretty unnecessary.

As the owner of a Playadome, I can tell you that it's a real bitch to set up alone. Both that and a Hexayurt are definitely two-man (or woman) tasks.

I had an 18' last year, and it worked quite well. I suggest a shadecloth, which they included with mine, but with that, it wasn't outrageously hot except in the middle of the day (but what isn't?). It keeps dust out well, at least with a tarp and carpet floor, but by the end of the week, the inside ...

Otter camp had a massive professional sound tent shaped like a saddle, and they only had one show (Albino) the whole time. I'm sure they'd be willing to have other people come fill their tent with sound...
