How about if we double the size of the Man each year going foward as the new tradition.

Looking foward to Nevada Google Autopilot project sucess. Then I could send my car for forty bucks and save on a ticket.

So the theme this year is like a giant camp out in the desert? With people bringing lots of shit from all over? uh..

They made collapsable taichi swords without sharp edges.With nice tassle. Most taichi swords I've seem are fliming decorations suitable for practice.

So who's going to pay for a full price ticket for a week just to volunteer to make your Center Camp Coffee. Low Ticket people are an important source of serf labor for BM infrastructure Um, me. And I paid for a holiday ticket. So not only did I voluntarily pay more than you for a ticket, I will hap...

Conceptually the Playa can support a true minimalist spirit. After survival (including a bike) take off into the deep open playa and experience the simplisty of the vastest flattest nothingness you will ever know. Go naked if you wish ( sunscreen and water recommended.)

After seeing how much fun I had on my modified e-trike one year, my Fearless leader made for himself a e-quad mostly using PVC for him and his wife. It was easier than welding and tore down for transport to the playa.

Burning Bank of America reunion party?

How come tickets cost more this year? You would think with more people coming to share the expense of building the Man the price would be coming down. How many years will they be setting up the same Center Camp? Besides aren't we all volunteers? They should pay us to go out on that stinking BLM dese...

With 8.4mg of Fluoride per liter how could this be bad for your teeth ?
The real problem is that it is designed to pacify us by the global elite. You have been warned.

We could add that back in.

And no more sticky wickets?

Oh? Then that's ok, Trilobite. But flashy jungle costumes like the airplanes, feasting, cerimonial dances between each play with teams of any size jumping up and down and a predetermined outcome mocking the dominant colonial culture. Well that's my idea of a burning jolly good time. Wish I could fin...

You mean all of you are too young to remember Anthropology 101? This would be the perfect game between tribes for Cargo Culting.

Since we are going native...or more native this year:

Make sure you find a flat spot so your car won't roll away.

My first year on the playa with an electric trike it was a real eye catcher. I was warned not to get a ticket at warp speed. Made getting to the outer rim a breeze. On day five my bike chain broke so was grateful for the second alterative to impulse power. Have had depenablity problems back in defau...

Tell somebody asking for drugs that you won't do that unless they have sex with you twice to prove they are not a cop. If that line works use their handcuffs and runaway.

I bring my Schwin Meridian every year. It has been my best playa friend. I have done so much with it. Down side they are more difficult to transport to BRC. I throw mine in the back of my truck where it take up half the bed. Upside you can sit on it standing still, travel as so as you need in a crow...

My experience with emotors on the playa have been mixed. When they work they are a dream but they also break alot, even in the default world. But then my etrike becomes just a trike. Trikes rock but the are bulky getting to the playa. I usually bring a spare bike for fast potty runs.

Along similar lines, has anyone tried the Schwinn Meridian? I too am looking for a trike, and for me the $60+ savings vs the Worksman/Westport models will be rather noticeable. Thanks in advance! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AYKISE I love my Schwinn Meridian playa bike!!!! It has been the v...

Makes me sad seeing how trashed the yellow bikes are by week's end. I had to use them as my bike got stolen last year on thursday. Tragedy of the commons.

I procrastinated unpacking the trailer coming home. Think I just turn around and go.

You all need a trip to Soul Mate Trading Company and a total drama make over. Hope for the best.

Just had them post on my FB page. Love tiki, understand the need for funding. But this just seems so wrong on the face. More gated communities at Burning Man.

Go in style:

Scalping didn't work out?

I made take my gopro camera. But even with the weather proof case I may never get the dust off completely.

You can buy a second ticket then when you get yours back in thirty days from the Lost mail department return them for a refund...possibly.
