Heard this rumor last week and in retrospect I'm surprised it took as long as it did. Of course we thought that the next logical step, should this happen, would be to have Burning Man on the National Mall this year. Being the first burn without a lottery for about ten years, I figure attendance shou...

'had a random, charming guy converse with me one night for some twenty minutes, as happens, and I was enjoying the company until he abruptly asked me where he could "buy some molly." I made some sort of joke and he redirected his question until I let him know it was time for him to move on. He could...

As they say...there was more art next year. I was a little snappy, probably because I worked over several months on a piece that never physically made it out there. This is, I believe, the first year that the Burning Man population didn't get bigger and maybe we are used to seeing More every year, t...

Personally I'm so exhausted by Sunday night I am both very quiet and too tired to care what anyone else does... Part of the unique experience of Burning Man is the fact that the temple has been gifted to the playa and belongs to everybody. We are so cultured into a system of following rules it is re...

Dude...really? Lack of art? and I suppose there wasn't enough amazing tits, free music and drinks for you out there either. Check your entitlement meter before you post a diss on the artists that sweat blood out there and max out their credit cards. Venting aside...this year felt like it was about c...

Maybe it was just the guy calmly mowing down mud cobbles on the street with a push mower on Tuesday afternoon...Thanks, by the way. Of course you brought a push mower.

Yep...I'll be propping up the piano

My Dear Friend...

Hell it's only May and I still think I'm not going this year.

Zum I'm a perennial lurker but since you're a newbie I'm compelled to reply. If you are expecting to have a good time at The Burning Man you might want to reconsider the trip. If you are the kind of person that has a good time no matter where they go then you might be okay. Seeing that you are getti...

I hear tell that March 1 is when the decision is to be made. I also hear that it is a soft date...so expect mid March.

Well....the very first day of my very first burning man I saw Steve Layba (?? I think was his name) and a woman do a show on a flatbed truck (rape, skin carving and sodomy with a bottle of Jack after he finished it) That was when I really knew I was in for a differnet kind of week. However, I think ...

The strangest part is all the posters here that claim to have been sober

Launched one of my more memorable journeys from the Pier Wednesday (?) night. Perfect - thanks!

Just check in on Flickr over the next few weeks. I came across them too...and the 75 photographers and three art cars surrounding them catching that rare burning man uncontrived temple moment.

If you can't be civilized in BRC, where can you be? Used to be that folks did all kinds of nasty things to the "art" including incinerating it on Saturday night. Far as Im concerned -the last thing I want to see in the desert is a dusty museum with velvet ropes - a dusty hotty in velvet ropes howeve...

Shit. Now I have to get all my gear out of the trash and go again next year.

Myth: blowjobs at the trash fence at dawn. At least not where I was. Truism?: 2008 I was working(drinking) on my piece in a corner of a Home Depot parking lot when a big rig driver waiting until closing to make a delivery came up to see wtf I was building. He told me that his boss knows the "owner o...

When I first saw that piece from a distance I thought/hoped they were giant magnets that sucked up bikes when people stopped to look.

Don't get me wrong bunnyman, it's not for us. Maybe your contribution is vomitting to Abba while on a pogostick...As long as you have found that gift from which shines your true self. That is the source of all that magic and manifest energy out there and you may likely have more fun than you evertho...

Nice post bunny dude but I worry about what I didn't hear and that is how you are gonna get out (or further in) of your suit and become part of playa next time instead of observing it. In retrospect, the best experience I had my first time was helping a theme camp breakdown all day Monday. Sweat and...

You spend ridiculous time and money updating the lighting and sound system on your bike that hasn't had working brakes or more than 1 gear in 5 years. You just say "I don't know" when someone asks you what BM is so they will go away. 98% of your storage space is filled with crap you use 2 weeks a ye...

Warning- after the hundreds and hundreds of hours and dollars in creating and transporting it to finally get to spend way more than 30 hours in the dust making the thing work/stay up/ stay lit, and then pack it all up to take home again you'll think working the org was a Hawaiian vacation but you wi...

Do those have to be different things? Stop thinking from the default world.

Don't think it was the funniest but the only one I remember clearly 'cause it happened at home off-playa. We took the camp rugs across the street to the local baseball field, draped them across the outfield fence and began beating them with sticks in an annual vain attempt to get them clean-er. A ma...

I thought this was one of the quietest years ever, almost too quiet- way fewer of the smaller rave camps in the 'burbs and fewer art cars roaming around. Techno has been a dominant factor for 2 decades -good luck changing that! The annoyance that came up this year was drunk a-holes with megaphones s...

If you have to ask you are already lost

I got the creepy feeling that we were being hunted from the blm rangers. I witnessed them penetrating dance crowds in packs of four- paramilitary style (wearing el wire and blinkie lights -like some fucked up camo). Caught them eyeballing me intensely twice - once having a cig and the other a snack....

I think I'll go the viagra route and just leave the flag at home. Many thanks. Or I may be scouting the neighbors for tall bamboo in need of some midnight gardening. Safe travel~!
