I'm flying down from Seattle for this. Ya'll have been warned.

You *might* have to suck something else if you want someone to provide you with a week's worth of food and water. At least you've got a sense of humor. Good luck.

Is it really true that playing a didgeridoo is the closest thing there is to sucking a tree's dick?

So, how did/do you cope?

I remind myself that at least I'm not spending the week with asswipes like Jkisha.

In addition, we have the 'Burn Without The Bother' camp out 'round these parts. Saved my bacon in '08 when I had to take a year off after 8 in a row.

Don't let the freeloaders get you down, AntiM!

Smootch!

I'm not dead yet. I just thought I'd announce that.

Carry on.

Seattle's Newbie Picnic at Gasworks Park is Sun. Aug 8th, 12pm – 6pm.

Be there or be square.

It's funny, you know how the index page cuts off long thread titles? I thought the title of this thread was *Does Anyone Want A Massive Head Wound?* and I was thinking, "Man, Deathguild is really getting a head start on the shit talking!".

I hope your sculpture finds a happy home.

Seriously though, the only 'radioactivity' you need to worry about is BMIR (BurningMan Information Radio) at 94.5 on your FM dial. They say 'fuck' a lot.

btw - Sorry about your playa name.

I heard a rumor about your mama but I won't repeat it here.

You're welcome.

Epic, you are beyond laughable, you're an asshole who has absolutely zero idea what the fuck he's talking about.

Please continue to lecture us on parenting though, we need the laughs.

A thread begun to discuss any issue, giving supporting f-a-c-t-s, statistics, etc., with ensuing refutation(s)/disagreements also based on facts, logic, etc. is one thing. This As Seen on TV crap falls not under the headline of reasonable, intelligent discussion, hence the ensuing fallacies (appeal...

I'm picturing Drama Queen holding the back of his hand to his forehead as he says this. Someone better get some smelling salts before Mary passes out.

I'm a young guy so I am absolutely terrified about suffering from lung cancer or silicosis now as a result of my week @ BM. ... but I'm getting a nasty feeling that this trip is going to come back to haunt me...for the rest of my life. I will always fear the consequences of those 7 days in the play...

So, anyone know if the o.p. went tits up or not?

Just curious.

I hate to interrupt but I've got a question: what was the name of the stage right next to Hookahdome where they were playing with fire (spinning poi, fire breathing etc.)? I was there Friday night going back and forth between the two stages, and I saw a fire breather fuck up bigtime and set his bear...

Cheers to me - for making a 60 second cameo appearance at Doc's Meet & Greet, just long enough to meet Dougly, who, just as I've always suspected, isn't at all Ugly. Mission accomplished.

Jeers to me - for not tracking down Simon at Root Society and introducing myself. I suck.

Robosapiens - 9:30 and Esplanade - Jen Woolfe really tore it up during a Wednesday morning sunrise set, and she did it again Friday at midnight.

Those were THE two best sets on the playa I heard all week. Thank you, Jen Woolfe!

Ah, the fond memories of being a Piss Clear paperboy! Still got my commemorative Piss Clear t-shirt!

You rock, Adrian.

Oopsie! Double-post.

Every year, somewhere between Klamath Falls, OR and Alturas, CA, I'll see this huge boat ahead of me being pulled on a trailer. I'll take my foot off the gas so I don't pass it too fast - usually I'm doing 80+ and the truck/boat trailer about 55 - then as I blow by I stick my arm out the window and ...

I give up. You win, Einstein.

Speaking of excellent pics...



Fantastic shot, BC! BTW - just send Tisha a PM, it worked for me...

Sweet pics, MP! Glad to hear about the new digs, too.

Mapquest assumes you never have to pee. Or eat. Or nap. Or stop at every freakin' Dairy Queen between Seattle and Gerlach to get a large dipped cone which can be quite a challenge to eat before it melts all over the goddamned place.

Not that I've ever done that.

That fucking sucks. Thinking of you and yours, AntiM.

Okay, there used to be the drive-by shooting range (notice the past tense) and at one point I think the postal workers were actually required to be armed (again, past tense). I've known a number of women who've driven cross country to this event and they don't feel the need to carry a gun. Then agai...

They brought guns to Baker Beach?

Jinx!

I'm thinking she might want to interview you first! (I don't do smiley faces, but you get the idea.)
