There are so many instances where Burning Man would shatter someone's soul. Clearly we have that here.
Think of the shit ton of money you just saved.
There are resorts and festive theme parks that cater to a certain segment of the population. The paid staff can deal will need guests.

I was wondering if someone could help.... Is there anywhere I can find a gig guide of what was on at this years Burning man? I guess I should say 'FUCK'... Thanks Heaps :D The official, "Burning Man Gig Guide" is provided to every fucking ticket holder on the way in the gate at the Greeters Station...

My intended username had been "That's Nice" but the punctuation needed for that was not allowed.

You could have done "Thats Nice". It would have been just fine.

The flaming Outrimmer. My guess it will burst into a ball of charred wreckage.

Still running amok.

Were they amokier this year? They appeared to me to be more abundant.

Welcome to eplaya SugarK. You've come to the right place. So many people that come to Burning Man are not your "typical burner". Everything about Burning Man and nothing what you expect they really are. It's a regular working city where you dress like yourself--not like everyone else. Come with an o...

Welcome to eplaya. Tell us more.

Tommy Cosman of Gerlach. He was a very sweet guy who looked much younger than the mid 60's that he was. He had life long mental health issues and was very slow learning. After his mother died 4 years or so back, he remained living in the abandoned ghost Gerlach Hotel. I would stop into visit with hi...

I am just seeing this thread and getting the clear message. Larry and I have chatted on playa every year for the past decade.Quiet, but very bright and witty. We discovered that we both actually shared the same first name--not Larry. Who would do that to a child? :roll: A kind, sweet loving person l...

she knows what burning man is, which makes even more tricky, if she goes like "why are you getting away now of all times"

I think I speak for everyone who ever attended Burning Man, no, she doesn't know what Burning Man is.

Hi Rorc, First, welcome to eplaya and the dusty world of Burning Man. You will meet people! One of my favorite things to do at BM is to get up early in the morning and head out on my bike by myself. There! I'm 100% alone. I have met some of the most amazing people along the way. I've made lifelong f...

As I get fatigued and overwhelmed from all the prep and packing for Burning Man, I often wonder why I keep going back. It's all the fuckos that go there is why!

What could possibly go wrong?

I bumped this over the ride share, as it's a better fit.

I won Careflight insurance for a year at the Gerlach health fair this past June. I’m pretty clumsy and while I never seem to require any ems it’s nice to know if something big happened my ass is covered if I need to be flown out Congrats on winning a great raffle. I'm not sure if I should wish you ...

Good gravy!

Welcome to eplaya and your first year at Burning Man. You are installation sounds very interesting. Do you anticipate it being along the lines of the theme, robots? Like most everything at Burning Man, it's a doaucracy. You get an inspiration and you pull it together all by yourself along with peopl...

Someone meaner and crustier than I should respond to this (strange) post.

Meaner and crustier than you?
That would be nearly everyone.

Without having official knowledge of this, my guess is that you can't cover over a street used by the public. All the other ideas sound awesome. If this covering is done within the borders of your camp, it would be much more acceptable as an art project. As a thought, you could make a working bike p...

Hi!
Does the vehicle pass fit for RV?

RV passes are the same as regular vehicle passes.

Welcome elizrawr. You're almost there.
I always like to tell people to dress like themselves. Wear what you feel comfortable with. If you feel like going a bit wild, you can always step out and go outlandish, but it's all up to you.
See you in the dust in a few weeks.

I'm not sure what kind of wires you're intending to put in a trench if this is your first year attending Burning Man. There are no trenches and no deep holes allowed to dig into the playa. With that said, I removed your link to a commercial site. I hope this information helps.

I'm 65 and she's much younger.

WHAT? I would have pegged you for 50!

Large portions of the community oppose the idea of putting names on tickets, for various reasons. Very true. The logistical nightmare of changing names on every ticket would be astronomical. It would require 10 people in-house just to process this. A week before the burn, it's hard to find anyone w...

BS, I didn't read everything, but are you still coming to the playa this year?

Welcome to eplaya Lostboy. By joining the forum here, you've met a bunch of burners and are part way there already. Yes, the tickets are sold along with vehicle passes. Once through the gates, nothing is sold (except coffee and ice). There are links in my signature below that you will find important...

Just be sure to read the guides in my signature below. Lots of water, shade, warm and cold weather clothing, dust mask, goggles etc.
See you in the dust.
Sham....

Bribery on the playa is not only common, it's expected. Bring good bribes!

You need to preregister to get fuel at Hell Station. It's meant to supply larger mutant vehicles. My modest size art car (with a 6 gallon tank) is not something that could use them for fueling up. Certainly gas cans for generators are a definite NO! As far as what to do with empty gas cans, offer th...

Welcome to eplaya. Where to begin. Did you read all the guides in my signature below? If you prepare properly, Burning Man can be life altering. If you don't prepare, it can be life altering too, but not in a good way. There's plenty to read here, so take your time and poke around. See you in the du...
