FUCK!

Good article, thanks!

I also like the man's Twitter account.

Welcome, cinnabar01!

Welcome and good luck, cocobware!

Welcome, Merel ! :D The photos I've seen on the Burner Express so far have suggested that people are mostly dressed just for travel, but may be wearing a festive hat or coat so they don't have to pack it. No doubt the Burner Express is air-conditioned; that's another good reason to have a layer to w...

And for a small tent (yes, your Coleman is a small tent), all this nonsense with lag bolts and power tools is insane overkill. A 10 or 12 inch nail spike available in any big box hardware store and a 16 Oz claw hammer every human on this earth should own ... Cheaper, available, no batteries, impact...

Welcome, Brigolas ! :D Yes, might as well toss it into the dust! (Actually, a waterproof cover is nice). I have done the cheap thing and kept my phone in a sandwich bag at times, but one evening I hauled it out to take a photo while I was dancing, & everyone stared at me. 90% of them were nosily int...

Rampart (Station 6) is open through the duration of the regular event, as well as several days before and after, but I can understand your concern. I would recommend emailing ESD directly. https://esd.burningman.org/contact-us/ You're sharp to demand answers. I'm not sure I would feel comfortable wi...

If you genuinely want some flair, hit a thrift store or a ROSS or a TJ Maxx and get something sparkly that won't shed. Or sometimes a huge, wide scarf or useful shemagh can pull double-duty as a pretty accessory, so if you have a favorite color, get some practical stuff that's pretty. My first year ...

I LOVED you guys. Glad to see you'll be back.

Welcome azebb & partner! You will be given a map and other things by Greeters (one step past gate) so that you'll know where open camping is. If you really want to be with a camp, you can reach out to a prospective camp with a cover letter-style email explaining why you like them and what you offer ...

Welcome, MonkeyDoMonkeySee!

You get one life. Nobody else can live it for you, nobody else gets to tell you how to do it, and nobody else is going to be lying on your deathbed regretting the things you wanted but were to scared to go after. If you choose to find a life partner (or even a temporary lover), make sure it is one ...

with proper identification of course? Yes. Done it several times. Have a mutually agreed upon email address for the people picking up the ticket. When you drop them, I think Box Office asks for both. True! Did this last year. Remember to do it on your way IN, as getting back to the Box Office after...

Hi Savannah, yeah, time for some perspective....and for me, that comes with distance..I'll be in "camp envy", watching from afar. I'll count on you to pick up my social slack!!....maybe you can even go work Perimeter?... How could I work the first time for Perimeter if you're not there to witness i...

There are quite a few more ... some positive, some negative ions ... need both ... Sodium (Na+) Chloride (Cl-) Potassium (K+) Magnesium (Mg++) Calcium (Ca++) Phosphate (HPO4–) Bicarbonate (HCO3-) Milk is a pretty good source of all of them. Yes! And Horizon Farms boxed milk is great for this . . . ...

Welcome, JMS ! :D You have already volunteered plenty, forrest gump is quite correct when he urges you not to overcommit. I have seen sooo many virgins with heat exhaustion. Even practiced Burners sometimes get dehydrated or exhausted. You can't volunteer or have fun if you're working yourself to de...

Heyyyyy, Fufa! Long time no see!

Welcome, Shmiddty!

Welcome, Unicorn!

Welcome, SugarMelt!

Welcome! :D Those are a lot of names to keep track of, so if you figure out a spelling or iteration that allows you to have whatever nickname you love the most (doubled letters, numbers as letters, underscores or whathaveyou) feel free to message Trilobyte for a name change before we get too used to...

Welcome, kl3pt0!

I'm sorry to hear you won't make it this year, Yggy; I'd missed the original post.

But I understand needing to take a year off. This was almost my year to do so, and then I just sort of found myself preparing anyway.

Welcome, Sleepwalks!

Welcome, Stonehenge! Fuck yer Burn.

Welcome, Someone!

Thank you for telling us about camping season in Sukir! I had no idea.

I hope you're able to Burn next year as planned . . .

Welcome SweetDreams42!

You might be able to meet an Atlanta Burner dance partner through the Georgia social networks.
