Hey Monkeepoo,
After spending ten years in Mendo I discovered that a whole lot of people can't/won't leave during that time period to go to BM. Too close to harvest time.

For example: In a disclosure of some of the most sensitive information yet revealed by WikiLeaks, the website has put out a secret cable listing sites worldwide that the U.S. considers critical to its national security. U.S. officials said the leak amounts to giving a hit list to terrorists. These ...

Cool. Enjoy your rapidly disappearing freedoms!

You're doing it wrong.

Welcome to the eplaya lazerfox! I guarantee you will have quite an experience! Don't know if it'll be good or bad, but it'll be something.

Hey! Start here. http://www.burningman.com/first_timers/

Welcome to the eplaya EP. That's some pretty basic info there, that could have ended up really harshing your trip to BRC. Why don't you take some time here. http://www.burningman.com/first_timers/ Follow the links and READ! There are a lot of things that you should know about the event, but it's up ...

Doggy style?

I don't know if I would consider that a happy ending.

Yeah, this year didn't seem near as windy some others. I've just always been of the mindset that it's better to have the wind moving up and over your shelter, pushing it down towards the ground, than under where it can push up from below and really put your system to the test.

lateral airflow through the hut = sailboat

So...no.

Think that you're out of luck. Last time I checked out the marketplace they had them, but looks like they're out now. http://www.enchgallery.com/poster%20art/poster%20htmls/burning_man_2009_poster.htm Here's a link to a good image. Maybe put it on a drive and see if a print shop will do one for you?

Hey RFS. The other 51 weeks a year can be a little lonely, but you might be surprised at the number of burners and burn curious right in your own back yard. I would suggest reaching out. Maybe start here: http://regionals.burningman.com/us_al.html You could also start doing your own thing if you don...

Hey there, welcome to eplaya!

SO

Welcome to the eplaya Gemini! Make sure you keep an eye on http://www.lakesoffire.org/ for our Great Lakes Regional that will be the last week(end) of June. Just a couple hour drive from Chicago, and a good way to get your feet wet in the local burner community. There is also a Chicago burners site...

Hey diamondmoth! Why don't you send a PM to my buddy Grendel. http://eplaya.burningman.org/profile.ph ... le&u=42222 He's a sculptor and I'm sure he would be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Want to bet?

Well, apparently Burner Dan OD'ed, so I guess there's one less person giving Burning Man a "bad name".

Are you sure he's not trying to turn that guy into a puppet?

Welcome to the eplaya! All good advice so far. I'll just add that the search function on here is a bitch. For best results put an "AND" between each word in your search to get best results. Ex. "Barbie AND Death AND Camp" to find all of the threads about Doc Pyros camp. This will give you the thread...

Well that sounds like a definite maybe if I ever heard one. We've all seen the planes hit the buildings. We've all learned the buildings were designed to withstand a hit from a Boeing 707 which was the largest airliner at the time. And yeah, I've seen the pictures of the supposed shearing of suppor...

In 2009 a woman and her friends traveled across the country staying with burners almost every night. She had a plan mapped out on an online map and people along the way helped her out. A few more details will probably help you out greatly.

Really cool instructable! Something new for burners to play with. Not as bright as EL wire or side glow fiber, but it's still new.
