Yay! Ygmir! It has been way too long since we gathered. This event is historically one of my favorites.

Fly geyser event this weekend tickets were/are $150 plus 8.50 fee. Speakers, plus help winterize baba yaga... Volunteer labor.

My labor is adequately exploited by my employer. I do not wish to extend the experience into my recreational pursuits, and won't be paying that exorbitant price either.

I have a small direct deposit made to a little used account with every paycheck. It's painless, and adds up to burning man over the course of a year.

I got a haircut and got postcards printed. More than I expected, since my home is an explosion of mobile trike stereo parts and pieces. The one item today really should be attending to this mess. Clothes, food, furniture, bedding, housing, all ready.

* Tunes bar radio to KFJC* It's ten AM, time for Bob and Ray.

For the requirement to stand in it, I'd say all tents in that size range are going to be at least 6 feet high inside at some point in the tent... getting dressed easily height. Requirement two, to not blow over: I think a good three season dome tent with good tie outs, and stake points, for tent and...

Hi and welcome!

Re: attracting butterflies. It's a bit cruel, don't you think? Will they be fooled enough to come back after that trick? The tale of the bladder who cried, "pollen!" Back at the hive a bee will be doing a dance with your address in it, and whatever the bee description is of "definitely not nectar" a...

nice work, thanks.

That shit is noisy isn't it? Where are you putting this beast so all your neighbors don't draw straws to see who gets the sabotage detail?

As a solo camper, I tried an evaporation approach one year, and never tried it again. The packed volume of the dirty ( icky dirty, mind you) evap system was larger than a simple 5 gallon grey water container. I put a small hunk of polyester batting/filter floss in the bottom of a big funnel each tim...

:coffee: first. Wednesday is a day off in the middle of the week for me. It's called the donut shift, with a hole in the middle. This thing in the desert is looming, and I will be attending this year. I have accumulated enough stuff, so that there is no big purchasing schedule. I get to sort through...

2019, I purchased two tickets and one vp, I split the fees, 592.77 with vehicle pass (which had it's own $4 service fee,) 488.77 for just the ticket. With a single ticket and all it's own fees, your figure sounds about right.

It's well crafted, is Badger back with a new sock? I'm missing Laughing Forest at the moment. Manifest me a vegan food court, and point me to the camp areas with available power outlets.

Don't go full suspension. It's flat, so the shocks will just sucked energy, especially in the real dusty traps.

Gosh, this is tempting.

To MikeGyver. A young man who would watch and usually speak second, with well considered words. Could make it, or fix it, kept a very good all purpose tool kit, and I never heard him complain. A great loss, and My heart goes out to his family and all his friends. Skuzzy, also remember momentum, that...

Rest in Peace MikeGyver. Omni-competent burner. I remember being in a cluster of clueless folks, standing around perhaps 8 unassembled shade shelters, waiting for activation, when Mike just walked in, started picking up parts and placing them in more understandable locations, not saying anything, ju...

Thing the first: Thanks, Skuzzy, for sharing how humor grows from the wicked capricious fuckery of how the world works, that snaps us to, from time to time, totally unexpected. Until gravity has had it's fill, we can only try and dance with it. Thing the second: I believe a long line of shots shall ...

You've got some neat bars there, ygmir, cozy for the season, lots of potential. I'll have to blow the cobwebs off my photoshop.

um yum! my favorite peeps and a campfire, and cartoons! It's Saturday! Good radio today too. I'm Gonna get some things done, I pray.

video is meh, but for some reason I had this in my head this morning. I remember my Dad making fun of it, or with it. He also liked "Toot Toot Tootsie," so there you go. Snappy, and I like the drums. They were pros.

There is a fitting at the top of the tent that the pole goes into, that would give you a measurement for the pole diameter. Image search pulled up a site that lists the tent height as 12.5 ft. What you will have trouble finding (if it is missing... you say you have all the other parts?) is the three...

Roll on through, tumbleweed.

Evening Bar. (* shakes jar of old dust onto the NEB) Home Burn at the Morris Burner Hostel was a nice clean change, with a very welcoming vibe. A happy evening, with good folks. We watched the live stream of the burn. Interesting the way it was sequenced with fireworks throughout and the big boom an...

yes, Salute to MyLarry. Where will I meet again a bearded grown man in a green fairy outfit (absolutely selling it,) or with a bow tie on his beard? as Killbuck said, "one of the best kind."

blergh.

Oh, Ratty! Those patches are so cool!

This weekend is the start of an annual event at work with mandatory o.t., and vacation blacked out. I am not certain of my schedule yet. Dang. Planning for Sat. If it falls my way.
