My converse All-Stars, with extra arch support, worked great. My daily foot regimen is: 1) Spray a vinegar/water solution on feet and legs-up to knees, wipe off. 2) Spray a pre-mixed solution of "No-Rinse" soap on feet and legs-up to knees, wipe off (I have a pack of washcloths from Costco I use for...

TomServo: Have you seen this thread about maintaining a hot tub on the Playa? http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic.php?t=27783&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=skoolie&start=60 FLETCHER: We miss you on you post about getting 2k gallons of water to the Playa Both of you: Consider camping in Reno ...

You can sing it to almost techno dance song you'd hear walking across the Playa.

Now it's only 2 days off. Getting closer! I'm still going to use it as my new Home Page.

At 369.99, I'll pass

I read this book before I even bought a ticket. I LOVED IT. I think it prepared for the Playa better than any other post here, even better than the BMORG survival guide.

At $217.95, plus $25 for shipping, and $49.95 for the reflective tape (duct tape should also work) this is an expensive propositio...

they also have old furniture etc. which might be helpful for burner supplies.

What would be a good gift item to share on the Playa? This is my first burn. I want to stay away from items that will be thrown away sand end up as MOOP. I've got a dozen sewn bandanna-like head scarves with flame patterns. I also got a dozen flashy LED heart-shaped pendants, which I hear frequently...
