With this theme, even if you don't score tickets, in some parallel universe, rest assured, you did! Quantums always increase the odds. In one universe you are in a 5 hour online queue, in another, 3 and a half hours. And one of you somewhere didn't set the alarm. Does that increase the odds of para...

Hi Ratty! Sorry I didn't get a chance to socialize. I worked too much this year.

Welcome, Nick!

Remember that all you spend on food for the desert is money you'd be spending on food at home , provided you aren't buying MREs or Mountain House dehydrated meals (which are completely unnecessary). So this is one way at looking at some of your expenses. You'd be eating no matter where you go. There...

Nothing like a vacation in the desert to re-energize the mods.

Thread moved from The Greeters Station to Stories--accurate placing, and more people will see it.

Hotel reservations made! Whew. It always makes me so unnerved.

Welcome, Penzance Guy!

Welcome, bignerd!

I really liked the 2) sewing lace to a bra to make a dress and 2) those sewn-on loop trim that makes for instant cinching.

(Really hard to find short playa dresses I like; sounds like I need to make a few!)

Just realized (on my 99th post) I never said HI to you all. Thanks for the guidance, advice and entertainment! My immediate family had been going for years before I did it in 2014 - we are Reno/Truckee local. First year in I built a figjam cooler and a six foot stretch yurt, both found here on epla...

welcome, Lasully!

An excellent consideration--thank you!

Hello, this year will officially be my first burn! So excited to finally make it to the playa! Since I've never done this before I was wondering what is found to be the best way to store water (we will be using a yurt, no camp trailer). We will have a flatbed trailer to bring supplies etc. Also, wh...

Hey, I’m Jaybob. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been able to attend. I’ve been lurking over the years and have chimed in from time to time, but I have to keep BM at arm’s length when I’m not able to attend. It’s for my own sanity. After four years of being unsuccessful in the main sale I someho...

I'm astounded at how far the sky can fall.

You realize you started a contest of guessing, right?
Hildale, Utah?

Y'all kill me.

Welcome, MissyPissy!

Welcome, Scott & Taylor!

Rawuk, where the hell are you from, Detroit? :shock: Detroit Burners turn out okay. :lol: Haha Sham, not from Detroit, but I imagine it has a similar vibe to here. Also, I like your analogy Grumpy. This is what I'm after, the deep end. I need to encourage a new mindset I've never experienced before...

I have wanted to go to Burning Man for many years now. Well this year it looks like my wife and I will get to go, I am really excited and looking forward to this. I know this will be one of those life changing experiences. Even though this is my first time as a burner, I am excited about all the in...

What's really pissing me off are BxB people proposing policing burners who carry the event in and out on vehicles. Perhaps every single one of the BxB & BxA travelers should be subject to the sniff dog test? The second thing that is bugging me today is something I predicted some time ago. It would ...

Magina, Don't worry about Lonesome. He has a wife, girlfriend and boyfriend. He'll do alright.

And a couple of sweet sweet fatty bones

I don't even know what this means.

At minimum I will get the crew cab again, but the biggest truck bed I can get. I don’t know why, don’t think we ever met, I somehow think of you as jumping out of one of those extra big 4x4 trucks, saddling up a horse, and riding out in one of the great outdoor states like Montana, Dakotas or some ...

If I felt comfortable pulling a trailer behind my truck, I'd go that route in a heartbeat. Huh? Any there I was all these decades believing TTITD gets us to push our comfort level ;) Cmmon, you know you can do it! I appreciate your faith in me. :shock: . . . Odds of my handling a trailer well are 5...

So true--Motzy's trailer only cost him $2,000 used. It had ants, but the playa killed them. He's used it for 5-6 years now. If I felt comfortable pulling a trailer behind my truck, I'd go that route in a heartbeat. I'd probably have to store it professionally during the year though.

The lovely thing about a cargo van (besides the fact that you can strap bikes to the interior walls, and it can literally hold everything that 2 people should need) is that you can literally hose out the back of it at a car wash. Bring some shammies and a spray bottle of vinegar for the other dusty ...

Sham is right!

Welcome & good luck, stella_rambo.

Welcome, honeyxxbae! You sound fun.
