that sounds like a LOT of cash for flights to vegas had you waited a while and kept checking i think you could have got a return flight from UK to vegas for £500 but whats done is done have done the vegas - burning man route a few times at this stage, and i know im stating the obvious but vegas to b...

i registered at noon on wednesday and got my code for buying tickets on thursday night

so it took around 30 hours in total

no major panic

how long did it take for u to receive your confirmation email after you registered for the pre sale?

we left centre camp exit at 1pm on monday, got to the road at 6pm so it only took us five hours

we were on the outside right lane for the whole time

was still a killer though, but thats just the way it goes

anyone know any good places that will have bikes available on Sunday 28th / Monday 29th August?

flying in from europe (to SFO on sat) and will arrive in reno on sunday afternoon

hope to buy / rent / whatever a bike for the burn but just wana check if anyone has any advice

thanks

you know when you first start to see all the dust in the distance and you know youre only a stones throw from the event how do you feel? i cant really describe it, its not like excited in the typical sense, and its not nervous or apprehensive in the typical sense either. but it is a mixture of both,...

whens the 2011 survival guide out??

i brought a shit load of el wire, with batteries to the USA from Ireland (via immigration and customs in newark) last year with no issues

by the way, i will only have one suitcase with me as buying supplies in reno!

hey guys anyone driving from SFO to reno on the 28th august? I am flying from Ireland to SFO and dont arrive until midnight or so on sat 28th, hoping to get a night in a cheap hotel near the airport and make my way to reno (to meet a friend and stay one night there before heading to the playa) I am ...

youre at burning man?

i will know when i get there

i will know when i get there

Let me guess, you got a set of baskets that sit on either side of your back tyre. Then you took some of those hot/cold bags you can buy in grocery stores for frozen stuff and modded them to form your own cooler on your bike by covering one basket inside and out. It even has a top that closes. Then y...

I think you have good reason to be in that line of cars trying to get out of the gate right after the burn. Sitting around your camp and "giv[ing] them some time to clear out before you go" is really just the same as choosing to be and the end of the line. Also, the line won't really be that bad. N...

its all about the candwich ese

they had an internet stream last year i remember sitting in my garage in ireland listening to it, while watching the live webcam and wishing i was back in black rock city this year i will not have the same problem thankfully :) was pretty funny last year, some guy was interviewing a bunch of kids on...

it always makes me cringe when i hear americans use the term 'spin' when talking about playing records

almost as bad as calling your decks 'tables'

:/

HI Doctor Nick!

thanks for all the helpful replies guys i was not being lazy posting this, i have done years and years of research about this event but i just wanted to get peoples personal experiences and advice.. i thought thats what this forum was for. anyway thanks for the advice and especially to those who PMe...

see yis on the playa lads

Yeah that was pretty snarky. It seemed like another post asking someone to do their research for them. But, Token to the rescue and I took my nice pills this morning, so I'm willing to admit I'll probably use that info myself ;-) lol you dont travel half way across the globe and expect someone to d...

Did either of you think to try the google machine? I hear it works pretty well. Not knowing your route from Reno to SF, I googled reno car wash and got this: http://www.google.com/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=car+wash+reno I imagine you could do the same search for each town along your ro...

need to make another pit stop along this route to clean RV can anyone recommend a good place to do so im going to try and have at least two addresses (in case one of them is closed or whatever) somewhere that we can clean inside and out of the RV would be ideal thanks again :) only a few weeks to go...

just got my el wire but it is USB and im not going to have a USB port on the playa

anyone know if i can order a battery powered USB port, something that takes AA batteries or the likes and will power my USB el wire??

thanks :D

didnt know it was midnight when they burned the man! that makes things even tougher... blings advice is good tho, you can mail el monte and ask them if u can extend the time u have the RV for thats what i did a few weeks ago and it was no probelm, cost a couple of hundred extra but gives us much mor...

Hey Red Arrow, we have rented from El Monte too, now I am so worried. Thing is we are picking up camper on 29th as one of the lads coming with us needs to fly back out home from SF on the 7th, so this means we have to drop camper back in SF on the 5th as the 6th is Labour Day :( This then means we ...

I saw something here about me not worrying about gifting my first year. I have to confess I have been working on what I think will be a cool gift to hand out to people I meet... and hoping to bring about 150 of them. I am making them with the help of a group of art students here in Georgia. They wi...
