Ta, already done for Reno Burners.

In previous years I've had no problem doing stuff for free at Generator and Artech for a day or so around same time - seems things have changed in the interim.

Hi all, I'm bringing an https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ames_room to playa this year. I'm based in London, arrive Reno Wed 20th and head to playa on Sat 23rd. It's tight but I'm planning to cut and prep all the wood (mostly stud frames) in Reno. I can use the Generator for this - not too expensive jus...

Thanks. Unfortunately, I booked my flights to Reno some time ago, thinking things would be the same as the last times I'd done this. And can't change those and it doesn't leave me time to get out to places like Sacramento and back in time. Finding a kind soul to pick up a truck and bring it to Reno ...

From Penske just now.... "I am emailing regarding a reservation you made with Penske Reno Nv from 8/21/25-8/31/25.  Unfortunately, these are Blackout dates for Penske Truck Leasing due to the Burning Man event happening in our area, and no reservation times are available for these dates. Our trucks ...

Thanks Trilobyte. I seem to have found a Penske deal for $30 day. Max 10 day rental but that's just about enough. Can return to same Reno location. They've confirmed OK with a UK driving license. I've not mentioned BM but they didn't ask and those dates are around BM. Any reason to be cautious here?

[mod note: subject was "Art project transport" and has been changed to reflect the change in ask] Hi, Cheese from the UK here. I'm planning on bringing another large-ish art project (an Ames room) to the playa this year. Normally, I've just hired a Uhaul in the past which has been cheap/great. This...

Hi, We're a mostly international/UK crew building this very large art piece on playa soon: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/building-playascape-at-burning-man-2019-beyond#/ Because of the height of it, we need quite a few ladders and/or better yet, some scaffolding. As we're international, we don'...

The fundraiser for this piece is now live! Please help us bring ALL the funky, interactive lighting we'd love as you dance, rest & connect on this huge piece! https://igg.me/at/playascape https://vimeo.com/342649938 https://c1.iggcdn.com/indiegogo-media-prod-cld/image/upload/c_limit,w_695/v156094790...

Thanks folks.

Hi My team are bringing Playascape to the playa this year. It's a big, steeped amphitheatre for meeting, watching sunrises, performances, dancing, sheltering, relaxing, etc. See pics below. Question is about insurance/safety. I've built some big things before but nothing like this which encourages a...

I'm the UK. We have Burning Nest (https://www.burningnest.co.uk/) in May. Also the largest Decompression event outside of SF in London in November . Nest is in a beautiful private estate in Devon. This year was 500, next year more with room to grow. This was the 7th one this year. But why not just t...

Full disclosure: I have tickets to BM 2019, so this is not written by someone who just missed out in the sale. But I did take part in the sale for some friends who couldn't be online then, so witnessed the horrors firsthand and didn't get tickets. I can fully understand and relate to all the frustra...

I know of 2 separate people who now have 2 each. But that is LOW - I know probably a few hundred trying

Just seeing what the protocol is for later today - if the "waiting room" exists for those trying to access before the stroke of the hour, what time it opens, if there's any advantage to being in it or not. My assumption, if those in it get put straight into the queue at "random" positions at the mom...

Oh, and where did you get this idea? As far as I know camps at burning man are not allowed to use their names off playa for commercial events unless it’s a fundraiser. Hi, Just following up on this. The rule comes from the BM Org. I've been in touch with our regional contacts who have confirmed thi...

Thanks AntiM

Done

Is it wrong for them to do that? I'd be interested in what the Org has to say about it, especially in light of this new forum. I think the vehicles can go where they want, that's fine. To me it's about the use of the BM name in something that is PURELY commercial. If it were a fund-raiser then I'd ...

They're not using Burning Man or any related / peripheral event related subject matter to promote themselves, just the name of their art car. I've seen other camps / art cars do similar things as fund raisers. If the flyer said something like "Your favorite Burning Man art car!" or "As seen on the ...

Lots of press about how "burner" Manish Arora has wowed Paris Fashion week with his new collection, "inspired" by BM. Except some pieces appear to have messages from the Temple on. And many have direct copies of art pieces which is just theft of IP if the owners didn't give permission. And there is ...

Not quite sure why this thread has resurrected but this was for 2017. What actually happened is some of the wonderful US burners who were part of my art crew donated a couple of stoves and basics to us. And we in turn donated those on the way out to the collection for the hurricane victims. So we di...

Any idea of where you will be setting up?

daisymaybee

Artery have confirmed at 1.35 & 3500' (so basically where D street would go out onto the playa). Similar location to last year.

Any idea of where you will be setting up? daisymaybee Hi Daisymaybee! Thanks for the offer to help and especially an impact driver! Our crew will all enter BRC on the 24th, although probably at quite staggered times. The plan is to start build in earnest on Friday 25th at dawn. So Thursday is mainl...

Just a bump about my last post. If you would like to come in early (24th) and help with this project I currently have a spare couple of early arrival passes (or now the more appropriately named Work Access Pass)) for this as a couple of people have had to pull out. If you've never been in early or h...

Hi, Long-time burner here but 1st time to BRC this year without an RV. From overseas so looking to source some basic camping equipment to rent, cooker & gas at a minimum but if they do a package with pots, plates, etc, great. Really want to avoid buying and then having to work out where it goes afte...

Firstly, welcome & congrats on now getting tickets so quickly - well done! I appreciate there was probably some fairly understandable emotions going on before you got the tickets, but let me pick up on one thing: Now that I realise that buying a plane ticket and hiring an RV before you have an entra...

Hiya. I'm a London-based burner. This will be my 7th Nevada burn this year. 1st year I brought a large art project (mad, I know, especially coming from overseas). I've brought large art for 6 out of 7 of them. In 2012 (where it all went a bit tricky with tickets for the 1st time, lottery, etc), I go...

Hi, If you already have a ticket and are looking for an art project to help build on, I might be able to take a couple more volunteers for this maze project. Looking for people to come in on Thurs 24th with a view to starting working at dawn on the 25th. Idea is to be done by end of 26th, although m...

If you mean build we did it over 3 days, starting with 7 and growing to about 21 people on day 3.
Solving the maze could be done in 10 mins or a couple of hours....

Hi all. If you liked our Cheese Maze 2.0 in 2016 you'll be pleased to know we're bringing another version back for 2017. Same basic idea and construction, just a different (even harder!?) layout. If anyone wants to come in early and help with build then feel free to contact me. Pretty simple stuff w...

That'll be on Sunday afternoon, whenever we've finished strike (always a bit of a lottery after burn night!)

Either at maze or at Cheese Camp.

But if you're after a wine & cheese party Cirque du Formage (sp) do an amazing one, if they're around this year.
