It's all dependent on a successful vaccine. Everyone is vaccinated? Good to go. Nothing else is really going to be effective or worth trying.

"Hey I gotta load of K rails out on my truck. Can anyone in here sign for them?"

Nope. And Nope. I have friends up in Canada that redid a cadillac into a beautiful bar in the middle. Called it "The Limo Bar" I mean this thing was a work of art. And they tried to get it into Burning Man. Turned down twice. One of the criteria of the DMV is that the base vehicle has to be radicall...

NIMBY had space from now until September before they have to vacate. And make sure your plan is to completely mask your base vehicle so no one knows what that is. There was a guy who wanted to do an ice cream truck a couple of years ago and got turned down by DMV. When you said "Pizza Party Delivery...

I get a kick in the ass from helping people. I really do. Last year I made my little MV into a tow truck and hauled people and their bikes in when they were disabled. I knew where the bike repair camps were. But in at least half the tows, the folks said just take them back to camp as they had the to...

I had to re-read all of this just to figure out how we got here. And once again Sparr lives up to his namesake. My own experience in all this is our trip to take Ursa Major to Washington for the Smithsonian Exhibition. When we left in March to drive her out we had a 1 ton dually and trailer. No issu...

Thank you for including "Let US PREY" in your photos!

As a nod to Freezer Burn, I was so taken with the FWF (Freezer Burn Wrestling Federation) that I decided to create the character Abraslam Lickin' , to go North and give these Extraordinary Albertans a run for the big belt! I was there and I tell ya, you was robbed by them sneaky Canadians!!!! I wil...

Just remember, whatever voltage you end up with, ya gotta charge it. That's why I go gas engine.

I’m just gonna drop it straight, this comes across like a zillion others before: “I’ve got this super awesome idea that I’m not telling anything about, that I want other people to build and pay for”. The cool shit gets built by people who can do. Exactly. Idea people always seem to think "I have th...

Interesting to read that article, even if the author gets some minor things wrong and sounds like propaganda too often. I sure wouldn't want to have to solve those problems, and under such a time limit. If it can manage to stay safe (hope that net is real - not photoshop - and helps make it more lo...

I doubt seriously if there would have been near the discussion this generated if it hadn't been for the issues regarding it leaving the playa. Minor grumbling sure, but the whole thing exploded once the difficulties in getting it gone surfaced. That's how this thread started before it blew up into w...

Thanks for the update! That's kind of you to post as many were wondering.

2008, my first burn. After 3 days of late nights I was out on the Esplanade alone, having lost my friends as so often happens. I decided to call it an early night and was walking back to camp when I heard "I love Rock and Roll" by Joan Jett playing from a club. One of my favorites so I decided to ru...

How do folks feel about keeping to the BRC speed limit of 5 mph? Or are motorized personal conveyances exempt from this? It's a good question. I typically operate my bicycle between 10 and 20 mph when I actually get on the damn thing. Is that also bad? We "raced" a BLM ranger in a golf cart on our ...

Does anyone know what happened to the Tree of Life Project?

So...........is it still out there? Looked for Sept 26 updates but didn't find any.

2008, my first year. My ex-wife should have gone. But she didn't want to. I am now happily married to the love of my life whom I met out there that year.

GroundStart you do a lot of speaking for an event you’ve never even attended. Almost every MV is “unoriginal” in concept. You name it, some version of it has probably been done. Super: I'll note to speak less until attending said event that allows me to speak here. What are you saying though? Nothi...

It was physically too large to take through the line, but yes it did have to get a DMV MV license.

Well this came from the Captain so I'm going to go with MV.

Yes, Dr., but no one is going to want a gutted, bullethole-ridden 747 plane carcass in their town square as 'art'.

I understand. I was only referencing art. I believe the 747 was classified as an MV.

This is why there is a long standing tradition of building real big stuff out of wood. You know, immediacy, temporary and all that blather. Much has been lost from the Temporary Autonomous Zone concept. If you are referencing art, one of the reasons is that playa art has become a commodity in the d...

Probably just an idea man. You know, "I have given you this great IDEA out of my head. Now go make it so, and I will take credit for it." All hat and no cattle most likely.

No one seems to have a problem with boats or couches or carpets being MVs, why not planes? What is the interest in that thing besides it being big? It's a boring, resource taxing, destructive burden. Boats and couches don't cruise deserts in default world. Big planes get pulled around the ground al...

Anybody know if they are on site moving the 747 to private property today?

See the story I posted above. Sounds like it.

Perhaps the light at the end of the tunnel? https://observer.com/2018/09/burning-ma ... e-removed/

Actually, there is some basis for saying that they do give people permission to dream and even more so, create. I met my true love there and we've just celebrated our 11th burn together. And when we saw the great art and MV's that people had made we actually said, "why don't we try to make some art ...

Soooooo.............is it still out there?

So did it go through the DMV line? I must have missed it.
