You guys are so awesome for continuing to offer this service, thank you so much! Myself and the engineer from our theme camp (Tree Ring Circus) dropped in on you late night in 2009 and you helped us fill up our barrels for our mister system. Your gift of water (and the music whilst you helped us fil...

We built a climbing wall for our Esplanade camp in 2009. My husband and I are by no means structural engineers, and the thing held up just fine and got brought out for a second time the next year. Ours was much simpler than yours, though; it was in the form of an X, with no overhangs. We made all of...

Just started a Facebook page to try to get a read on how many people did not get the tickets they applied for. [url]https://www.facebook.com/pages/I-Didnt- ... 53?sk=wall[/url]

Another problem is that this creates uncertainty for those of us planning art installations, theme camps, mutant vehicles, etc. I must now ask myself whether or not I should I go ahead with the time-consuming, labor intensive (a labor of love, mind you) plans I have for our theme camp. It would brea...

It is with the deepest most sincere regret that I must announce that the Supper Club will not be coming to the playa this year. My husband and I were the two camp members pushing this project through, and we hit an unexpected financial wall a couple of weeks ago. After a weekend spent in limbo as we...

Oso and Doc Helix, your invites (+1 each) will be coming to you shortly via snail mail. To bister and all others interested in sitting down at our table: auditions to sit down to supper with us are from 10am to noon on Mon, Weds, and Fri for that day's supper. We're located at 4:30 and Cairo, and in...

Depends upon the ingredients. As it stands right now I'm planning on being the primary chef for all of the meals unless someone else wants to step in and take over for the night. I'm working within a strict budget so will be utilizing whole foods and staple ingredients for the majority of my meals, ...

For those interested in being a guest chef in our camp, some more info: Our camp is new this year: Emerald City. We are 3 of the 4 founders of Tree Ring Circus, which you may have visited last year at 7:30 and Esplanade. We had a climbing wall out front, a large parachute held up by handmade iron tr...

Doc Helix, there is still room at the table for you! Please pm me with your home address, as we may be sending out our invitations via snail mail prior to the event. Cap'n Goddammit, you already win, as I've never made a margarita in my life. I do make some tasty sangria, though, and you're welcome ...

Oso, we'd love to have you and your daughter join us for dinner. We're planning on handcrafting some truly gorgeous invites to give to people as keepsakes, so please stay tuned. We may opt to send any invites given before the event to folks at their homes via snail mail.

"Just because you limit your resources to wheat germ, beans, and garlic does not mean you have any extra talent, just less interest in making yummy food." Could be. Or could be that your knowledge of non-animal food sources is pretty limited if you can only think of three ingredients that fall into ...

[quote="Captain Goddammit"]Well now, "vegan" rules out bacon... which rules out "talented chef".[/quote] I just read an article the other day written by a chef (non-vegan) who was essentially decrying bacon as a cop-out ingredient. His position was that some chefs have become overly dependent on bac...

There will be a couple of vegan opportunities through our camp this year: One is the chance for vegan cooks to act as guest chef for an evening during one of our supper clubs. You get a fully outfitted vegan kitchen to work in (no setup for you!) the opportunity to cook for a small group of celebran...

There will be a couple of vegan opportunities through our camp this year (2010). One is the chance for vegan cooks to act as guest chef for an evening during one of our supper clubs. You'll get to prepare a meal for an eager group of lucky individuals who have managed to land one of our coveted invi...

Menacing Vaginas

And also no theme, or anything to help guide them as they try to form something from nothing.

The 40" dome sounds pretty cool, though. I think they're onto something. We could've saved loads of time and money if we'd just made a theme camp for pixies.

Ok, I just checked twice and yeah, I really am viewing the Theme Camp section. a) You are not a theme camp. I know this because you have stated no theme. You are some people camping together. b) You are asking for help in the theme camp section. I do not know about the rest of the folks on here, but...

Hi all, we just got our placement. Come see us on the playa at Esplanade & 7:30! Not long now.....

BrotherDan, it's awesome to hear that you are stoked, and Sputnik, I'm glad to see that someone has checked out our site. We are definitely putting a lot of work into this camp - we're even forming and casting our own holds! Bring your own climbing shoes, though - we decided against bringing communa...

Update on our camp:

Our name is Tree Ring Circus, and within our camp you'll be able to boulder, enjoy live music, drink a smoothie, sit under our misters, and dance your funky pants off at night. All with a forest theme. Hooray.

The difference there is that your cats were able to go outside, whereas our cats and clreindeer's cats are not. We live next to a very busy street, and are not willing to risk letting them out. Cats still have some wild in them, and the majority of them are in heaven when outside chasing bugs throug...

Hi all, We went to BRC for our first time in 2008. We have two inside cats, and being separated for so long was hard for all of us! Let me share with you what we did in order to soothe our furry friends as much as possible while we were away: We had a friend house sit for us. The kitties were happy ...

That's a great question. I'm allergic to wheat, sugar, and almonds (among other things), so I know quite a bit about being vegan with food allergies. The wheat is the real killer for me because of the vital wheat gluten that's in Tofurkey as well as a lot of other fake meats. For the week and a half...

Hi wesdex, welcome to eplaya. I am a vegan, and was vegan last year at Burning Man. I was a virgin, and none of my camp mates (I was with a theme camp) were vegan, so I was pretty much on my own to figure out how to make sure my partner and I were adequately fed. I ate well, but I did learn a hell o...

Ehcsztein, I would love to hear all about why your wall didn't work. Feel free to PM me regarding this. And YES, we'd be happy happy happy to accept your offer of leftover supplies! What a fantastic gift! Our camp name was originally going to be "Camp 4," but we've expanded it a bit so our members c...

"i'm a licensed physical therapist & my boyfriend is a former EMT. we haven't yet decided where we'll be camping, but i bet you could probably get folks like us to help." Well Pants, you and your boyfriend are welcome to camp with us if you want to lend a hand. Having medical staff is always good. W...

Sage advice indeed! Thanks!

"I notice you're local. Need any help?"

We love help! What sort of help do you like to give?

"2 years ago the rock wall over at 10:30 kept us busy with wrist and ankle injuries. any thoughts on safety?" Wrists and ankles, eh? I can't say that I've seen many people come away from climbing safely with wrist and ankle injuries, unless they were climbing cracks and jamming like crazy. Without k...

"do we need insurance?"

Personal insurance is always a good idea when engaging in shenanigans, and the stuff you can climb on at our camp is by no means the highest thing you can find to climb on at BRC. It's just more technical than most.
