https://journal.burningman.org/2018/10/black-rock-city/participate-in-brc/setting-a-cultural-direction-for-residential-black-rock-city/ Not a bad read for all us crusty old timers with more opinions than ... A rare BM survey that did not suck! And y’all know how much I hate BM surveys! https://goo.g...

OP is super vague. Could be art, could be a camp thing, who knows. Is it wood, metal, plastic ... Does it need to be anchored? Is there a wind profile/loading concern? Artery may or may not be the relevant entity. If it’s a camp only thing, may be a fuck-all and just build it. Seen plenty 2-3 story ...

The state doesn’t do any inspections or review of structurals out there. Just use sound construction practices, do your calculations, be ready to defend the design. If there is a BORG department that is involved like placed art, you burning it down, etc. contact them directly and discuss. BTW, 16 fe...

New for 2019!

747 Guardians!

Be one of the cool kids with a clip-board and radio!

Tired of shushing folks at the temple? Curating the man base not your thing?

Become a Jet Guardian today!

Bullhorns welcome, heckling encouraged!

Wooly Fucking Mamoth Batman!

I just have Honda generators with an outboard tank and get AC going in 2 - 3 minutes tops ... but damn ... that is some sexy fucking science.

Crazy but awesome!

SSE,

Can you translate that into simple English?

2 year Virgins? What is that?

I’m confused about your excitement.

2001 - 2007 no guardians. 2007 1/2 onward, guardians, curators, “oh look at me, I’m important and have authority”, etc. I don’t volunteer for anything BORG. I’ve built big art, mutant vehicles, flame effects, fire conclave 8 years, performed on stage for countless events. It’s my vacation and I ain’...

What we really need is a second 747 identical to the one already there so they can join them ass-end to ballast the thing and make the worlds biggest teeter-totter.

Load it up, get the rave going, retract both nose wheels half way. Let the party rage!

Dramamine for everyone!!!

Ummm, no. I’ll harsh as I please, thank you very muchness. Please don’t feel singled out. I hate on lamplighters, temple guardians ... pretty much *anything* guardians, census science project ... and rangers too, from time to time, but mostly based on merit. Pretty much anyone volunteering for somet...

That is all kinds of funny! And now a gentle reminder of the original purpose of the greeters before it devolved into the amateur comedy hour hug-fest dust angel debauchery ... Greeters was the one place the BORG can cram propaganda down your throat and tell the BLM and county that they educated the...

My guess is everyone (including first timers) will head for an express line. Wouldn’t that jam a whole fucklot of culture? It would be hilarious! Just imagine all the dejected greeters crying into their electrolyte water. Take it a step further and replace all the lanterns with solar LEDs and watch...

The Oregon Country Fair is a little different then the Nevada regional.

Ha! The only thing OCF has in common with TTITD is that it’s held outdoors.

It’s a hippie-fest. Nothing more.

The article author is clueless and their drivel is mildly annoying.

I'm just struggling, hearing so many people who spout love of art, free expression, radical inclusion, embracing the "weird", (and embrace "non judgemetalism"), turn on this like a pack of jackals. Aren’t you caught in an endless loop of criticizing the critics for being critical? You can’t adjudic...

Wonderful! Thank you for the good stuff!

Snips runs on a Raspberry Pi 3

‘Nuff said.

Perfect for the wilderness of the Playa.

That will be real tough without a reliable internet connection. Voice AI is practically a commodity these days but all the smarts is in the cloud. For example: Siri on the iPhone can only do basic music playback controls when not connected to the net. Look up voice tech that is not cloud dependent i...

This is the kind of thing you would do if you were running an experiment in community and culture. But who does that crazy thing anymore. Would cost the BORG nothing to have a lane or two for folks who don’t give a flying fuck about greeters. Put down an automated magnetic counter and have data for ...

... 12 foot high interactive sculptures... Good example. How many sculptures or interactive pieces could have been brought to the playa for the efforts put into the 747? Who the heck goes out there for the sculptures? Most of the “art” is amateurish, kitschy and decidedly meh. It’s all about the de...

They should have just torched it on burn night. Sacrifice it to the Contessa gods.

There’s still time for that!

It’s mostly Aluminum, right?

Add granulated iron oxide and magnesium flakes.

Flares to kick it off.

Wear welding shields and don’t look at the lights.

If you have the original citation in hand, any attorney should be able to help you.

You can contact the local BAR association in the jurisdiction most pertinent to your situation.

NV and Washoe county have BAR associations.

Good Luck.

Pyramids at Giza were built from 10 ton limestone blocks on a surface just as soft if not softer.

We know for sure that they had rope.

Let that big imagination go wild!

This is why there is a long standing tradition of building real big stuff out of wood.

You know, immediacy, temporary and all that blather.

Much has been lost from the Temporary Autonomous Zone concept.

WTF are you FKOs doing to the Crush thread?

Get a room.

This is sacred ground for expressing one’s secret arousal!

Now go get a crush!

Too far for me too. Two hours just to Reno.

Road trip and soak at Trego?

Anyone?

... there are regulations for flamethrowers, of course ... Actually, there aren’t any regulations on Flame Throwers in 48 US states. California has outlawed them, and either Maryland or Massachusetts... can’t remember which. It’s very ironic that some of the most brutal weapons of war are basically...

I think it would have been more impressive if they had just built it and burned it like they did "Wall Street".

True That.

Lots of BM things that did not embrace the “temporary” aspect of TTITD didn’t end well.

I’m wondering how many of the “new faces” are sock slippers.

There is some good jamming here lately.
