Great advice about smiling. Also, when it comes to starting a conversation.... just be honest. There must be something that stands out about the person you are interested in starting a conversation with... "Hey that's a cool necklace...did you make it?" or "You would not believe what I just saw". As...

After many years on the playa, I finally went to the NY decom, for the first time, I believe 3 years ago.

When it comes to post playa events, now's the time to live on the west coast

I haven't heard anything about decompression in NY this year.

Nothing last year.

It's incredible that new York didn't have decom last year.

Embarresing really.

Real Burners capitalize the B in Burner.

Real Burners rub playa dust between their fingers and smile.

BUMP!

"Gift to the bearer a mutually satisfying experience worth a million bucks"

I know that I'm coming in late on this but what I've done in the past is draw the image actual size on sturdy paper. Flip the paper over and tape it to a large window or glass double doors and trace your art on that reverse side with a thick piece of artists charcoal. Then tape the art, charcoal sid...

I hope this clears things up.

For the past 12 years, I've camped solo most of the time. Many questions and points were discussed prior to this post, so here's my take: Theft: If it's important, lock it in your car. Car key: I sewed a loop into the bottom of ALL my playa pants pockets. I attach a piece of rope to my key and tie i...

Rob the accordionMan here and I love to rock my accordion on the PLAYA!!!! I play a wide range of music and some original songs... The only music I don't play is polkas and Lady of Spain... sorry, it's a matter of principal. Depending on the setting and mood I can do high energy classic rock by the ...

It seems that I have a favorite story to tell every year when I return. Let me share my favorite 2010 BM story with you. I'm having fun playing my accordion at the corner of 5:30 and A where this guy is serving free home brewed beer to a large crowd of folks. Now some people really love hearing my a...

Ahhhh.. dust storms. Just thought about another doozy. A few years back I was performing at center camp. All year long I was looking forward to play. I had a 1/2 hour set planned and was really excited. I walked up to the mike to play and a freight train of a playa storm came ripping through center ...

My son took me to Burning Man in 1999. He had gone in 98 and the minute he could call, he said... "Dad you have to go next year with me!" And I did. How did it go? Well, this will be my 12th year in a row attending! I've gone back with my son a few more times over the years and have always had a bal...

By the way.... if you plan on sleeping in the back of your station wagon, please be advised that you are going to totally trash your interior with playa dust. I know, I did it with a rental car and got hit for a $150 cleaning charge. Since then, I line my rental car interiors with drop cloths and th...

I noticed someone posted a low res image of the money I designed. Here's the link below to the high res pdf file of the NEW 2010 playa bucks. There are 4, bills per page. Print the front side, flip over the papaer and print the reverse. If you print them on a slightly textured paper they have a grea...

"Help with getting rebar out of the playa when I was totally exhausted " I know all about that... the day I was leaving i had everything down and packed except for one 18" stake that for the life of me I couldn't get out of the playa. Each time that i made a major effort to get it out of the ground,...

What kind of gifts worked for you in the past? Helping a neighbor is wonderful. A little piece of your art is nice. One year I gave out crystals... folks loved it, but I found that besides carrying almost 20 pounds of accordion, I was lugging ROCKS with me. Nope, not going to do that again. Anyway.....

I've done a lot of painting of benches at center camp and the latex paint, though it drys fast, it is great to work with. Make a mistake, paint over it 2 minutes later. I've used markers in conjunction with paint and that works well to a point... because the surface we are working on is wood, it get...

Heard in Center Camp:

"Any one got acid?" "Any one got acid?" "Any one got acid?"

2 hours later, the same guy being held up by 2 other guys, I hear the same guy say...
