Rule # 1

Never ask for permission, just beg for forgiveness.

Rule # 2

If you are compelled to ask about rules, it’s already forbidden and illegal, whatever it may be.

There you go.

Yeah, that “publicly listed” blip is wrenching the engine. But then we have the “official address” part as well ... So overall looks like the ‘seat of the pants’ on-Playa shuffling of placed camps should go down? One can hope the map released before the event will have way less fuzzy and more define...

Tiger Man is a placed camp of 4 with one fluid space. We install foam and fur on your bike seat so you can enjoy your ride. (Lots of sore butts out there.) So far everyone loves us including the placement team. So how many DGS tickets do you get as a core contributor to the grand spectacle of the P...

Trilo! Thank you for the diligent and well thought out post! I’m-a gonna focus on one section that seems to have my tag-phrases in there... On increasing the DGS... I get it and I agree with it.

Pro tip 2:

If you must pass out and I’m around; do it in the afternoon.

You don’t want that early morning syrupy strong stuff ... may sting a bit.

... But my understanding is that BMCORP pays about 4M expense on about 40M revenue to the BLM... Those are charged under different mandates; 1. Daily use fee for gatherings with some minimum threshold of headcount. Last I looked it was 10 people or more - some remnant of anti-rave rules. Gotta get ...

Whenever I run into some poor fool passed out on the Playa from heat exhaustion, I do the honorable life saving manouver all Playa denizens should know; Just unload and piss on them, get in good and tight on the ears and neck, then a good dollop on the face ... Saves a life! Surprising how much ener...

Oh, easy, when you donate $5K+ to park your own RV on BLM land.

Best bet may indeed be letting BLM know about profits from the Playa. They want their cut, got a big stick, and hair on the peaches to use it. https://www.blm.gov/press-release/blm-now-accepting-applications-commercial-activity-permits-2019-burning-man-event A commercial use is defined as, “recreati...

The Hat, rest his soul, could smell the cheese back in 2012 when he devised The Cargo Cult for 2013. It was all planned, it epic failed. Now we get MM to do what middle managers do, tinker and tweak, when what is needed is revolution. We kicked out a PnP! YAY! Everyone gets 7% less fucked. We warned...

I have not seen any announcement that would indicate a change in ticketing provider for the 2019 event. As far as I'm aware, they're still using Ticketfly (which initially was independent, then later acquired by Pandora, and more recently owned by Eventbrite). I'm sure certain aspects under the hoo...

I want a shower in my $100,000 RV, all stocked with soap, shampoo, creams and moisturizers.

I can help with a creamy moisturizer...

There are, this is the weaving thread, all converging into one solution. Says the cat that can’t tell me what the burn smells like. Your posts are cool and stuff, more or less, but this bag of rabid monkeys ... maybe you step back a bit, let those who had Playa foot and thigh chafe have a go at it....

No tweeks needed.

Someone in charge just needs to give a fuck.

I think we reached the step after denial so maybe MM will figure it out.

She took a swing and it’s a strike.

So just about half of the available tickets go to the cool kids via DGS. (48%) The poor and needy (gotta fill up Center Camp somehow) get 6.7% A third will be the main sale mob, Jane and John Q Public (34.6%) 4K 'rich fucks' with money to burn - Yeah, that will teach them! Still plenty douche-monger...

Token

DGS created a privileged class. So long as that model persists, this will be a futile effort. Logic Fail: Jane Q Public - you get a random chance of getting a ticket. If you fail in the general sale, tough luck. Then you are told: “if you really want to go, you will find a way, network, hustle”. DGS...

Token

^^^^^ this!

Xactly my sentiment.

More DGS means everyone has to be one of the cool kids.

DGS is what started all the decay.

So after reading here and elsewhere... The bottom line: The BORG doesn’t give a rat’s ass about internal camp finances. Folks complaining about their $250 sent the “wrong” message to placement. Missed opportunity there with their public pdf files for all to see. Mario is super cool and ignored all t...

Use google to search the forum. Much better at finding things that way. The BBoard search is weak.

Richard, you need to reset and break this situation down to the basics, then build up from there. First and foremost, no one in your group has tickets yet and there is no guarantee any single person will get them. Second, plan on half your group flaking between now and August. Your camper - is it a ...

I’m pretty sure U-Haul only lets you tow their dollies and car carriers with the box trucks. They are in general the worst of the worst. The pickups they rent can tow boats and campers. Detail is in the contract. Enterprise and Penske business divisions do rent full size trucks equipped for towing a...

I would just build a big swamp cooler and use the money you saved buying top shelf scotch you can serve me in your bar.

Just put the bottle of Scotch in the bucket and it will be Mmmmmmmmmm good.
