The reality is, weather happens. The funny thing is the last three years, the weather has been pretty damn good. You tie that into some utube videos and everyone thinks it's a giant party. Is it? Yes, if you want it to be. Quiet and calm? Yes, if you want it to be. Weird, strange, wild and fun? Yes,...

In this case, you're talking about the BM 1%. The funny thing is the 1% in this case has made the 99% extremely happy over the last 25+ years. I can't imagine going anywhere else in the world and meeting the people I have, experiencing the day and night art I've seen, theme camps I've visited, rando...

In sports news, all sporting events have been cancelled due to the dust storms.

I'm working on my organic Raspberry/Blackberry Kettle One infused vodka. I'll bring it by the meet and greet and it may help you conquer the world. For that day, you can just conquer the vodka, the next day, the world

Yes, I did. This was my 3rd year at BM and my girlfriends first year. I remember being out on the playa and I told her and her girlfriend to wait where they were as my buddy was right behind us. I ran about 30 feet away, didn't see my buddy and ran back to the same spot. It was a clear night, very w...

Actually, due to the ongoing problems with the economy and the increasing cost of building materials, the man will actually be a hologram. The good news is they'll be able to increase the height of the man by 3 inches this year.

Just to clarify, I was familiar with Burning Man but Green Tortoise really let me get there and embrace it.

Green Tortoise is how I got introduced to Burning Man. This will be my 10th year going to BM and all on Green Tortoise. My first year, I was supposed to go with a buddy in an RV but 2 weeks before BM, he bailed. I was so bummed out as I had spent 3 months looking at the BM site and trying to learn a...

I have to say, I agree. I had two people at my house on Saturday and was doing my best to explain what to expect including expect the unexpected including weather, heat, cold, wind, dust, rain, etc. I've been going to BM for 10 years and last years weather was amazing. I have no problem with the dus...

I haven't tried it but it sounds delish!

I got my ticket for 2012! Bring on the Organic Blackberry/Raspberry infused Kettle One Vodka!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait for this year. Who am I kidding, I can't wait for any year I get to go to Burning Man

Funny thing but if it is the end of the world, it looks like the Black Rock Desert may soon be ocean front property. If that happens, make sure you have enough bacon. Bacon will be the new currency going forward.

I'm still searching for a ticket but I like to think positive and know it will work out. I usually make an organic blackberry/raspberry infused vodka. I use organic berries and either Kettle One or Grey Goose vodka. I soak the berries in the vodka for two weeks, switch them out with new berries for ...

I can't wait to get back to the Playa. This has been a tough time since I made the decision to split with my girl. She would have been 31 on June 30th and I had planned to ask her to marry me. She's done crazy stuff in the past, never admitted exactly what that was and always figured I would forgive...

I love Burning Man and the all the amazing, fantastic people.

Thanks for the kind words. It's going to be weird for sure but you're all right, new memories to be made. Dr. Pyro, we took a great picture at your camp last year with all the barbies, it's time to do a new one. I'll stop by and say hi. Love your camp.

I love my girl with all my heart but she for some reason decided to go down a different path. I wish her the best, love her with all my heart and hope she finds what she's looking for. I can't believe I won't be with her this year but she made her choice and I need to make mine. She's beautiful, sma...

I think I'm going to try and create this for halloween this year. That is so fricking fantastic and like I said, made my entire week.

Cahlm, I apologize for my comment as I've seen in many responses that I rushed to judgment. It's funny how easy it is to judge others and not really focus on yourself. After the many comments, it's made me realize that I need to think before writing any comments as they've been pretty judgmental aft...

Point taken and apology sent your way in regards to outfit and effort. I'm guessing that although you may not have been dressed up in some crazy outfit, you did have lights on. I did see quite a few people with both no costumes and no lights. I do appreciate all the efforts of those with theme camps...

To be fair, since the theme this year was Metropolis, maybe those gray drab burners were indeed dressed up according to the Metropolis theme. Hard to say and I stand corrected on that point. That said, a LOT of them didn't have any lights. No lights combined with the dark clothing made them nearly i...

Actually, those buses had nothing to do with the Green Tortoise. I know because I camp with the Green Tortoise and have done so for the last eight years. The buses parked there because they saw the other Green Tortoise buses and thought this is where the buses park. I talked to the first "Tourist" b...

I saw the same thing. I've gone up with the same camp for many years and I saw 4 different newbies that just walked over a rockstar aluminum can in my camp and didn't bother to pick it up. I went over and picked it up but was surprised at the lack of awareness so to say. I then came back around 2am ...

Well said -- so true on all points. I've been out there 7 years and hungover only once -- ONCE was enough. Coconut water is a great for re-hydration and has electrolytes and does wonders for your hangover. The 100 degree heat definitely adds to an already bad feeling. You can get it at health food s...

I too second using Cool Neon. They screwed up my order in a different way and sent me the same thing twice. They didn't charge me for it and probably didn't know they did it but good karma being what it is.....I called them to let them know. Sure enough, they had no idea they sent it out. I was goin...

I've been to Burning Man 7 years in a row and this will be my eighth. I always drink a lot of water but last year I brought a case of coconut water. It's great as it's natural and has potasium, Electrolytes and is just good all the way around. I've only been hung over once on the playa and once was ...

It was so amazing. I so miss it already and can't wait to go back next year. I love it when they build the man so you can climb up into it so I'm looking forward to that next year.

Still cleaning up the costumes, dust, tent, etc. I wish I was still there.

You can also try a Bevmo store -- Beverages and More. Look them up on the internet, call and they can tell you if they have it or they'll order it for you. Not sure if you will get it in time. Sometimes the RiteAid drugstores have it as well. I'm looking for Corona in cans as well so that's the firs...

Sounds Fantastic!

I don't see it online at Costco.com but I just bought the Casio Exilm 6 camera for about $130 or so on sale in the store. I got one a few years back that worked great until I dropped it one too many times. It still works but it was time for a new one. Good deal for the money.
