My moronic Post office received my tickets and put them on the truck out to my house. Because there was nobody at the house to sign for them they returned them to Burning Man without leaving me a message stating that they tried to deliver them. I found out by using the tracking number. They didn't e...

Dear Virgin Burner, You must know by now that Burning Man is not your typical festival. As you take time to prepare your gear, costumes, art and yourself I want you to think about your life as it is now because it will never be the same. Since your decision to make the pilgrimage that many have made...

Automatic Subconscious will be on the Esplanade this year at 3:30. Our gherkin dome is equipped with a large stage for DJ, bands, performances as well as a full silks rig for aerialists not to mention a cool hippie net at the top so you can look out on the playa or watch the party from above in the ...

A woman talking to a news reporter about the senator that twitted pics of himself:

People in Tin Houses shouldn't throw can openers!

yeah!

A lot of food for thought!

Thanks for all the advice!

I'm waiting for CSS to post one of the following:

The moon landings were faked.

The holocaust didn't happen.

Lizard aliens are living under the Masonic Denver airport.

Ice cubes in liquor ads were subliminally displaying female silhouettes that made men want to drink more.

Let say you were a member of an Esplanade theme camp with about 45 people. Complex infrastructure (Diesel genny, water, evap pond, large shade structure, kitchen), large dome, PA System, Lighting. Would you be ok with the same 10-12 people doing early setup, week long maintenance and break down whil...

I have a few question for all those who run a medium size theme camp, especially those who are on the Esplanade? (Not RS, OT or TD. 45 members)

Thanks

I'm part of a theme camp that has been on the Esplanade for God knows how many years. In 2009 we built a non-geodesic dome in our camp and rigged a silks rig from the top of the dome. We have performances and lessons in the dome. One of the guys that performs and teaches has a tripod that he sets up...

Automatic Subconscious uses the Boston Burning Trucks. Two 52' trailer trucks shipped by rail (CSX) to SF then to Reno by Trucks. Most Boston Burners use the truck to ship personal items as well.

Lets see, many DJ's use Macs and a few use iPads to mix remotely. iPhones are on the playa as music devices and cameras. I'm a big Apple fan, however Burning Man isn't about commercialism. You should focus on the event and not the technology brands that are out there. I'm sure you can find other eve...

1. Taking an aspirin from a friend after asking "Why is it blue?"
2. Eating a brownie I found in a little plastic cup with the words "eat me" on it
3. Riding my bike naked with only a respirator, goggles, blinkies and shoes into the crazy dust storm on Friday night in 2010!

at my first burn i was flying on the playa , i have seen the vision of the whole crazy production called bm turning into one giant mayan calendar i start getting to the bottom of it , to check if there is any connction between bm and 2012 and i almost sure that daniel pinchbeck and larry harvey hav...

I stayed with Automatic Subconscious for the past two years. Once at 3:30 and Esplanade and this year at 4:00 and Esplanade. We are a big camp with a big dome. Biggest problem is defining private camp space with public camp space. We like to sit in our private area and look out on the Esplanade but...

Wow what a topic. To get back to the original post, there were two gay camps where you could get it on guy on guy. Comfort and Joy has a tent named Afterglow and its basically a circus tent with mattresses, blankets, pillows, condoms, lube, water (for those who are dehydrated) and hand sanitizer. Yo...

[quote="Cheyenne_Morningstar"]How about a skull and bones camp, a 'Scottish Rite' Freemasonry camp or a massive Mayan Pyramid with a big boy logo on top?[/quote]

Skull & Bones?? White boys masturbating in coffins?

As I posted before...

Check out the Boston Burner Meet and Greet at the Cambridge Brewing Company at 1 Kendall Square, Cambridge MA. Every Tuesday from 7:30pm till whenever.

Jekel: There is a Boston Burner Meet and Greet every Tuesday night at 7:30pm at the Cambridge Brewing Company in Cambridge. Lots of new faces and well seasoned veterans of BM. We hang out at the bar. If you can't figure out where we are just as the Bartender Chris and he will point us out! Cambridge...

Craft stores have plaster mesh that you can cut into strips and dunk in water.
I used it on an old motorcycle helmet with saran wrap. I'll build from that base and then use fiberglass resin to harden the shell. Inside I'll use foam weather stripping for inside.

I stopped by the moonbow camp on a few occasions in 2009. Very friendly group as well as Camp Stella, Celestial Bodies, Comfort & Joy although I didn't get to stop by AstroPups.

As far as Burning Man being gay-friendly that's an understatement!

Sounds like the Malcolm in the Middle episode except they used an RV but they did use fake grass. I like the idea of an entire house.

The OP said "Open Minded" not like minded. Open minded is good. Each member of your group should read the survival guide at minimum and also read the entire preparation section on the BM site. Your individual Burning Man experience will greatly depend on your camp mates if you go with or join a grou...

If anyone is from New England and wants to hop a freight train to BRC we can pack you in the Boston Containers and you can ride out that way! ;)

Actually he offered the ride and I said I'd chip in for gas. Now, 3 months later, I ask him how much and he says $100. I almost fell off my bar stool. So I'll just give him $20 and thank him for the ride. I'm thinking about doing the hitchhike thing next year and just give booze as a gift.

I appreciate all the advice. I'll take care of things when I see him next.

Odd thing is I donated $55 for a ride out to the playa between 4 people. 1 didn't show and I had to do a whole lot of work getting four rented bikes onto a very small bike rack. The $55 included some extra for getting the car cleaned in Reno. I was supposed to go back with that person only they ende...

I know the all mighty dollar is frowned upon in BRC but I was wondering how much the average hitchhiking burner would "donate" in dollars for a one way ride from BRC to Reno. No hotel stays, no meals just a good old fashioned ride.

Actually Daft Punk did play. They were in my tent in a small wooden box.
