This set has gotten me through the grey this winter. So warm, so bouncy, so techno.

Memory from an amazing day.

Don Joyce RIP

An inspiration and hero for many of us on the fringes and to many more who may not even know it yet.

The presumption that not enjoying a party equates to mental illness troubles me. :? You are not obligated to have fun just because you are at a party. There is no requirement to enjoy yourself and trying to force pleasure where there is none to be found will only aggravate the discomfort. I’ve had s...

The camp name is Tectonic

Saturday August 9... if I can finish packing/loading today

Leaving for the playa in 17 days and still no word on my order.

Be a shame to have spent money on a ticket and vehicle pass to help a friend attend only to have them sitting in my mail box when I return from the event.

Leonard Knight http://touch.latimes.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-79252569/ Strong memories of a beautiful day I got to spend working with him at the mountain. Such a vibrant, distinct, and deliberate human. A chance meeting that forever changed me and my perception of others and the reality we all li...

all i know is this is impressive as Hell, and i hope their proposal gets chosen... just. wow . Something about cats and bags comes to mind ;) My understanding is that's one of many proposals, and that no decision has been made (that's typically done sometime after the art grant submission deadline ...

I've thought about setting up a camp called "Surveillance Camp" somewhere out in the sub-burbs. Fully functioning infrastructure (shade, tents, stage, art , lighting etc) with no-one actually camping there. Trick being the whole place would be under full audio/video Surveillance the whole time (with...

reactivate train service to Gerlach Hmmmmmmm... This concept has my mind reeling with potential though in my my near drunken state I am in no condition to work on logistics. Gut thought is figuring a way to utilize the rails near the playa with on playa transport to shuttle folks into the event wit...

Solid list and advice so far. A couple of minor things that I would recomend... Tent Bring an extra sheet of large size to cover the entirety of your bed. I say this in case a brutal dust storm fills yer tent with dust. Think of it as a condom for your bed. This way you can gently roll the top sheet...

One of the top moments of my burn this year was Wednesday at sunset at The Pier. Boyfriend and I wandered out to roam the playa, and instead were stopped in our tracks in awe. The usually subdued pier had turned into a VORTEX. People were streaming up and down the pier like ants. Others were riding...

The ship will have its own soundtrack, water hitting the sides, creeking wood, creepy old ship noises, etc,... I may or may not have already started some audio sketch work for The Pier II (Pappy's Return of a New Begining Revenge!) :lol: I spent a nice chunk of time talking with your sound engineer...

Just got off playa last night and to read your responses to this installation makes the whole endeavor more than worth it. My heart had to break many times in order to grow as much as it did while experiencing the completed project. Too much to share... too many stories... for now let me just say......

This has become my theme song over the years and only grows more fitting as time goes on.

because i can
'cuz no one can stop me
'cuz it makes up for things i lost
because i'm addicted to bad ideas
and all the beauty in this world

For me the burning of the man is the end of one year.

The burning of the temple starts a new one.

The hours between the two are very important to me and watching the city fade away has become a favorite activity of mine.

trip 1 = 8-19 arrive playa 8-21
trip 2 = 8-26 arrive playa 8-27
trip 3... crossing my fingers there will not need to be a third trip.

For general drinking I am doing boxed reds and whites for Calimocho and various Sangria related experiments. This year I am bringing a couple of mixed cases of quality whites/pinks/reds/fortified for a dinner I am planning and some other random activities throughout the week. Still debating bubbles....

Candyflip mmmmmmmm... oh wait... um... yeah from what I have heard that could be refreshing :D A favorite from '08... equal parts Mt. Dew and Captain Morgan... camp mate called it happy "happy juice" and it certainly did the trick. From '09 habenero infused tequila and strawberry basil mojitos. The...

He could have changed that. Shit, mine says Reno, Tahoe and Somewhere else. Up to 2 months ago that meant Indonesia smarty pants. And yours says Horus Left Armpit, which I was sure was somewhere in Syria. If you are on the Oregon coast we may be able to come and get the items, we have a builder fro...

This is probably the best idea I have read in the past 7.34 months.

Happy to see so much excitement about cooking on the playa this year as it is increasingly becoming my primary focus!!! I can hoesntly say that my overall burn is improved by improving the quality of food that I ingest and share with others. My biggest challenge this year will be planning perishible...

Ovens are great... I learned how to cook frittata in camp back in '09 and cinamon rolls are a sure-fire way to meet your neighbors. :) I have always wanted to do some more gourmet food on the playa and this year I am finally making an opportunity to do just that. Full 9 course dinner with wine pairi...

Excellent!

Looks like y'all are doing it proper big this year! Congrats!!!

I'll be with you in spirit until I return from deep space.

Cheers!

How about a semi-giant cephalopod surfacing from the playa at the end of the pier? Tentacles and what not made out of wire and EL to provide a ground install to threaten those "swimming" by?
