While walking around the streets in the 4:30 area my friends and I were approached by two of painfully obvious undercover cops. Both were short-ish, very broad, crewcut hair and wearing jeans and white t-shirts. They walked and talked like they were on the beat. They said,"We lost our ticket stubs a...

I've been worried about my lack of ticket. About a month ago, I saw someone say, "Don't worry unless you don't see your ticket by the 25th." Well, the 25th rolled around and no ticket. Genuinely started losing my shit. Tickets came the same day, no email. Honestly, I can't even get mad about it

I found this one weird trick that works great! Eat well and exercise. Serious though, one thing consistently proven to cut weight is tracking calories. Like Fossa pointed out in his fantastic post, weight loss all comes down to calorie deficit, and doing that without tracking is stabbing in the dark...

ERMAGERD!!! That's totally bitchin!

Well, I got tickets, but the rest of my crew didn't, even though we all logged in at 12 exactly. I guess we have to count on STEP or all the scalpers that did get tickets.

We went in 2008 but arrived mid-week (thus the arrival question). We ended up with a leftover case of energy drinks and amused ourselves during exodus by giving them to sleepy drivers.

Good to know! Thanks. So there is no line until gates open?

Is traffic lighter if you arrive before the gates open or is arriving early a waste of time?

Does the provider change mean the system won't go down the second tickets go online, or will we still need to clear our schedules to land a ticket?

Wow, how dramatic! Let's hug it out, then go for drunken rickshaw rides. I'll drive!

Motsky- That contraption sounds amazing! I can't wait to grab that thing's intergalactic tow-rope and go playa-skiing!

Dude, that thing looks SICK!!! I'll keep an eye on this thread to see where it ends up. I certainly will give you a visit on the playa!

Plowman: that's one of the most awesome/horrible stories I've heard. Maybe it's sick, but some part of me loves the idea that it's pretty easy to get a serious injury like that at the burn. Motskyroonmantick: I'm a bit late to this I guess, but your talk about this "Yacht" has got me all excited and...

Haha... I'm running Hood to Coast in portland the weekend before burning man. If I'm not to wiped I might like to try a race in the desert with you.

course... I'm not exactly going to bm for my health.

Sweet monkey! Lets stick a tail on that thing, put a dancefloor, a tree and a camo-net on top and get it registered as a mutant vehicle! The monkey-mobile is gonna fling its way across the playa this year. twin- Thanks to the drastic reduction in testosterone production the anger tends to subside in...

Hey Staggers! My wife and I are going to burning man for the first time this year. Stag camp sounds ideal. My name is Jason, I'm 27. I'm a computer animator at Laika studios in portland oregon. I'm going to be running our local relay race from the mountains all the way to the ocean (hood to coast) f...
