Looks like a plug and play camp.

AntiM - dont worry about the trolls. The REAL burner community loves you and supports you. If there is ANYTHING you need - you just utter the words and you will have it.

I think the Flipside comparison is out of line as well. Regional events are not a competitive sport, and often times when a person intends to cause self-harm it can be difficult, if not impossible to stop them. My deepest sympathies to everyone involved and affected, from the individual's friends a...

First, this wouldn't have happened at Flipside. There was a ring of firemen and security keeping the crowd back. And EMS at the ready. Sunbeam, I'm the burn night perimeter lead for Flipside. I've been the lead for the past 4 years and worked the line for 2 years before that. It most definitely COU...

In my opinion, someone that encourages women to cover up their nipples should be dragged out of center camp and beaten.

Just sayin.

Hmmm. So he's mad that someone is using his pictures without his "authorizations" Oh the irony.

The "photographer" of this little "art project" is apparently trying to get the images taken down on the multiple sites that are now re-posting the images.

His name is Dong Xiao

Faraday's law of induction is a basic law of electromagnetism that predicts how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (EMF). It is the fundamental operating principle of transformers, inductors, and many types of electrical motors and generators. h...

One more corporation using Burning Man as a shill to sell their overpriced shitty sunglasses. I hope the Borg pursues these guys and owns them.

I have the Gigsville "Fuck off Ranger" trading card that's been laminated and I wear it next to my Ranger laminate when Im on shift at Flipside. Probably one of my most prized possessions.

Never got a fuck off ranger patch, but I would sure love to have one to put on my Ranger costume. (Yeah, its a costume, not a uniform)

Holy shit! Hey Joshua!!

This keeps popping up, now that "not my camel" has become common parlance for most burners, so I thought I would drag this thread back into existence. Here's the story (as far as I can remember): In 2000, a local Reno business came out with a couple of camels thinking they could charge people for ca...

Looking at the original post and the follow up comment by Uncle sticky, this discussion is not just about the scalpers. This is about boycotting the entire thing. The entire event. Everyone. All of us. And the logic is this: It's an event that everyone talks about. Because of this, it's become very ...

Some people dont know a troll when they see one.

There's these things called "regional burns" that do just that. You may want to look into it.

Richard Branson wont return my emails about wanting to get a discount ticket into space, therefore, I will abstain from looking at the moon from now on.

Exactly.

A perfect example of what has happened to TTiTD.

Yup.

Some would argue he still doesn't. ZING! :lol: Seriously, go knock yourself out. Have an event on the playa. When it gets big enough, (in other words, when it is seen as a money making opportunity for the various government agencies) expect to have BLM pay you a visit. Or they could just show up at...

Im interested to see what "the hat" has to say about it, but at the same time, I really couldnt care any less.

Larry is not in charge.

You people are so cute. Any porta-potties out there on the 4th of July? Any medic tent? Any water trucks? Any streets? Central shade structure? Fire suppression? Do you really think its as easy as just showing up in the desert and declaring a party? That's exactly what they did in the early years. A...

Its easy to get volunteers to move bags of ice in the desert. Its a whole different story to get people to stand in a self-made dust storm and climb over mountains of crap, trying not to break anything, in an effort to find some genius who thought he could sneak in by hiding in the storage space und...

Just thought I would pop in after a long absence and say hello to all.

Who the fuck is this Karlene bitch? I dont even care enough to page back to try to figure it out.

Noobs are retarded.

You cannot have an event that brings in 51K people and not expect every cash strapped county in the surrounding areas to just sit there and do nothing.

Cops were less prevalent when there were only 12k people. But there were still cops.

I have firearms training and have worked at the gate for 9 years. The majority of the gate staff have also had firearms training on their own (a lot of us are fans of guns. go figure) The majority of the people that go through the gates understand that firearms are not allowed and therefore don't br...

Hard to believe, but I've missed the last 5 burns. Moving to Austin and dealing with some heavy personal issues has made it difficult to muster up the gear and get my ass back out there. But Im going to try like hell to make it out there for 2011. And with what I've gone through over the past few ye...

(2002's Floating World theme still remains my personal favorite!)

And as a result, every year we have fish cars, pirate ships and other things that dont relate to the yearly theme at all.

Yes, its old news, but since there is no mention of it on the ePlaya or the main website, I figured I would ask about it here. Harley was a fantastic woman. Truly fantastic. Some people didnt like her for whatever reason, but in the 10+ years I've known her, she has been nothing but the greatest. Sh...
