Welcome, theSelf ! :D Regional contacts are here: https://regionals.burningman.org/regionals/north-america/los-angeles/ And the LA Decompression event is here: http://www.ladecom.com/ To have such a wide range of reactions and feelings--especially during your first Burn--is so familiar. I'm glad you...

Welcome, black_rocky!

Some folks definitely gift pictures . . . there are photo booths on the playa, and photographers who take special portaits and exchange contact information with those who pose, and send the photos later.

I'm glad your first Burn was amazing!

Must agree with Eric. I use a complicated regimen of Diabetes drugs that have to be somewhat carefully timed to work with my insulin. My pill planner is critical. (especially if I'm tired, out of my normal schedule or have had a few) However... I keep these all in a kit (along with my syringes and ...

Welcome, SugarK(ate) ! :D I'm not a typical Burner either. Doesn't matter! "Mid-life REVELATION" . . . I like that. Not enough people say anything close to that. Perhaps go to this! http://www.ladecom.com/ And maybe join these! https://regionals.burningman.org/regionals/north-america/los-angeles/

Welcome, MonsterManJD!

Los Angeles Decompression might be fun for you:

As might the LA regional stuff:

I think it's a tragedy how many potentially good forum nicknames get wasted by these ticket beggar and lost item poster accounts.

Plus 1

Yes! . . . And I get mad when I have to ban a spammer with a cool nickname! What a waste.

Welcome! Flame effects info: https://burningman.org/event/art-performance/fire-art-guidelines/flame-effects/ No quad ATVs are allowed, except for law enforcement, but mutant vehicles/scooters/bikes and transports are allowed; some require special vetting. Write the DMV if anything is unclear: https:...

Welcome, Seeps! Two years is a great amount of lead time.

Yeah--I do hope it's just an error.

Evening Bar. (* shakes jar of old dust onto the NEB) Home Burn at the Morris Burner Hostel was a nice clean change, with a very welcoming vibe. A happy evening, with good folks. We watched the live stream of the burn. Interesting the way it was sequenced with fireworks throughout and the big boom a...

Man, that sucks. I hope you're reunited.

Yikes! . . . Thank you for sharing that tale. :shock: I had often considered renting a box truck from that location if I were to ever do the whole fly + drive option. And I trust you'll definitely dispute the charges . . . ? Let us know how it goes. I would like to see if that happens to anyone else...

Welcome, GroundStart ! In much the same manner that you come to Black Rock City when you're supposed to, your playa name will arrive when it's ready, too. They are often given to you by a campmate or acquaintance, after something funny or awesome happens . . . I don't think I got mine until my 11th ...

Welcome, jeffb! I'm glad you had an amazing first Burn.

Welcome, Garyoler!

Welcome, Misspanguin!

I don't know why all these people think MyLarry was quiet lol. My goodness he and Ken could talk together for hours! About ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. This exactly!!! My memories of MyLarry were of his bubbliness and his stories, his devotion to AntiM, and his naughty jokes. Maybe it was because of wh...

I’ve used an O2 COOL brand fan before. It uses 8 D batts but works pretty good Met too! I have two 10" O2 Cool Fans, and I like them a lot. About $20 at Home Depot and Amazon. One of them is older (6 or 7 years old?) and requires a tiny tiny screwdriver to get into it, so if anyone orders one, I de...

What THEY said. Even a medical doctor on ePlaya would not want to give you medical advice without seeing you in person. See a professional. Tell them that you will be in a very dry climate, with highs of 100F+ (although next week looks like mid-90's, but I haven't looked further) and lows in the 50'...

Yes. Both of you would need Ticketfly accounts, and to meet in person. The transfer (instructions linked) happens very quickly and cannot be undone. If the transfer does not happen quickly, while you're together, it's probably not legit. Send the link to your seller so they know how it works, and wh...

Note that your driver and anyone else in the car would also need a WAP to be able to enter in early with you. Quite true. Work Access Pass covers a specific person; everyone in the car needs their own WAP. Contact your volunteer coordinator to see if they can help you. And make a post here: https:/...

Hey AtomicPanda, Welcome. You're no doubt still reeling over the loss of your son. It can make the subsequent issues you've been having feel like "failures", but I would encourage you to think of them in the same way as those of us who miss a year or 2, or 4 (my record!) think about the gap years: j...

Hey All, This is my second time coming to Burning Man. My first time was in 2011 and I tagged along with 2 friends who pretty much brought everything I needed (tent, sleeping bed, etc). We also stayed with a camp (really nice people who participate hard) and everything was planned and prepared by t...

Small flour tortillas, kept in a cool, dark place?

Mission tortilla chips? With a sign saying "no double dipping"?

Hmm.

Well you could use your personality to get rid of her. :lol: Whats up guys one week to go, counting down, so excited and cant wait for that so we burners gotta a very friend of us that wants to go but his wife has been keeping him on a tight leash we are seeking for a good excuse so then he can com...

We have a Theme Camp and Villages forum: https://eplaya.burningman.org/viewforum.php?f=523 NOTE: It's hard for most camps to return an email this time of year (April/May/June are deadlines for many a camp; some stay open later) so you may not receive a reply, but as RV dwellers, you have both shelte...

If I remember correctly, the issue is cracks in the heel (or other places) can hold onto dust. So sanding the cracks down helps avoid the problem. :) Covering the feet is obviously safest . . . but if you can't resist occasionally padding around in flip-flops or sandals for an hour or two like Token...

Demetri, if you 10 x 10 shade structure is one of the EZ Up canopies, make sure that you stake it down really well. The EZ Up is famous for buckling, ripping away and flying and impaling cars and people. Recommended: get t-posts and pound them in to support the legs of the EZ Up. Tape legs to secur...
