Haha. I'm from Louisiana, and while I admit Newcastle is a VERY good beer, I will be bringing a local Louisiana favorite - - - Abita Beer. Their sugar source is various fruits, and they re-add the fruit juice to the final product. It's a wheat beer too. It ends up tasting like very good wheat beer w...

This may be a bit of an odd question, but are there any Tattoo artists on the Playa? I'd love to get my first ink there.

[quote="MikeVDS"]Burningman is like a foreign country. It makes people look at the world differently because they realize that people are different creatures than what our society makes us. You should go trying to blend in with the culture but also knowing that YOU ARE the culture. It's hard to expl...

Haha.

Alright. I'm highly considering taking a big frozen batch of my fathers gumbo and briging it up :)

Merryville?

HAHA!

I've been there a few times. I'm sorry, its just funny to think that there are burners in such a place. God, DeRidder.. don't even get me started.

But yeah, I can take sucky ass humid heat, so I guess I can take Playa heat.

What are the typical day/night time temperatures?

Im from the humid swamps of south Louisiana. Im used to a kind of heat that can kill you.

What can I expect in terms of adapting to the desert heat? Anyone else coming from a low-lying (-5 foot elevation, no lie, protected by levees), hot, humid area to go to BM?

Oh, another question...

I had a friend bring a GPS to Rothbury.
It worked out GREAT for him. He could find his tent and waypoint all of his friends so that they were easy to find.

Sound like a good idea?

:) Turning on, Tuning in, Dropping out. It's from Timothy Leary, who I honestly disagree with on 99% of things, save for this statement. 1) Turn on. Go within to activate your neural and genetic equipment. 2) Tune in. Interact harmoniously with the world around you - externalize, materialize, expres...

I can bring a few up if you'd like. It could be a fairly cool gifting item, huh?

My father also makes killer gumbo that I can keep frozen until needed :)

This is great. Thank ALL of you for your great responses, because they are serving more and more to get me to push the button, buy the ticket, and jet on out there. I have very few reservations left. I'm confident in my abilities to survive a 7 day camping ordeal, and I'll make sure that even if I f...

Thank you SO much for the response. I am pretty firmly convinced that I'm going to take the red pill and jump into the rabbit hole, if you know what I mean. Man, what a journey this will be for me... but then again, what a summer this HAS been for me. I've done more with this summer than I have with...

So I have hit up two festivals this summer... Bonnaroo and Rothbury. Both were fantastic, psychedelic experiences that have changed my life for the better. After my experiences with these two festivals, I feel like I'm not ready to quit. I want to experience the sensory overload I get at festivals o...
