best: the pier II, the lizard art car was fanfuckingtabulous, the dusty tornadoes that shot out from the the man during the burn, the afterburn fire dancers and drummers scattered about (some gal in red flame leotards was the hottest thing with 2 hoops!), the temple double wedding we chanced upon wi...

Finished packing last night, yeah! Ended up with 3 bgs to check but there's no way one can fly to BM with camping eqpt and a couple flashy coats for night time all in just 2 bags, what was I thinking. today we fly to Reno, tomorrow hit Walmart and pick up the other camping goods and bikes I ordered,...

i impulsively bought 4 very colorful underwire bras today even tho i never wear underwires much less colorful in the default world. too self conscious for pasties so this is as close as i can get to letting it all hang out (with a bit of a lift that is).

so glad to see you do this again. last year I took some of my mom's ashes but time and frivolity got in the way and i never made it over to your camp. maybe this year. thank you for offering. namaste.

Spray painted a pair of comfy old sneakers a chrome silver and added some blue glitter. Now I'll have comfort AND style going for me.

Sewed on a big blue butterfly shape from el wire on the back of my white jean jacket for my night time travels. So, if out on the playa, you see a blinking blue butterfly just flutter by and say hi!

The worst part? He giggled and I said "what the hell are you laughing at?" and he said I was cute when Im mad. Arrrrrgh.

Being somewhat the anal type, I about went fucking postal on the beau for NOT picking up the tickets at the PO when he got a pink slip in the mail A MONTH AGO. I found out by asking last night if tix were will call like last year and he says "I think they're supposed to be mailed." now, I knew maile...

ditto on the bike basket idea. in 2009 i had a camelback and had to return to camp on too numerous occasions for a refill. last year we put a gallon jug on the bike and since we biked everywhere we had water on hand at all times. i guess it depends if you walk or bike most places.

Fuck! All year, I've been like "i'm going to Burning Man,meh", not feeling it. But now all of a sudden, FUCK! I"M GOING TO BURNING MAN AGAIN! with multiple happy dances and smiles and I have all this shit going thru my head. The camping equipment from last year's burn still boxed up and needing sort...

Well, looks like the beau and I can save a couple hundred bucks and not buy bikes in Reno. From the looks of things near our camp we might be better off just staying close. I would hate to stumble home in a dark and dusty storm to end up in the wrong sleeping bag with the wrong beau after a night of...

dear folks who are looking for an opportunity to participate, I did this last year for a shift and loved it. I worked my butt off but had a great time. Its a great opportunity for you virgins who are so overwhelmed by all things BM and not sure what to do to give back to the city (that was me last y...

Thinking about getting these. Thought they were cool. Plus they're cheaper now.

what is your wife's timeline? we, too, have to leave but were planning on Sunday morning.

yesterday's thrift store find was a god awful looking silver sequin dress with white fringe (think cowboy shirt from the 50's fringe) on the bottom. it is fabulous and I can't wait to wear it. for $2.99. yes!!!

Dear FoC, Your post made me do some thinking. A while back I was showing a friend pictures we took last year there and some w/ me and my beau in there and I realized I looked huge. Now, that's in my words. But I was heavier than I've ever been and like you I always saw the pretty people in those pix...

http://www.chromatest.net/Lovemonkey/ i got my monkey hut instructions here after cruising the interwebs as well as eplaya for a year resources on here are limitless and invaluable. of course, everyone has an opinion and its hard to come up with the best way. Just use your judgement and since you ar...

Yeppers! I just left the ticket thing up to chance and hoped for the best. And the best happened for us so we are coming, pink fur and all. This is our one splurge for the year.
I hope all who want can get to come. I can't wait to play with y'all on the playa.

Last year we used the Coleman instant 4 person tent and it held up fine, but then again, last year didn't have record wind like some years. We also built a sturdy monkey hut that was the envy of the camp so that helped alot, I'm sure. Planning on taking them both again this year. Fingers crossed for...

Congrats to those who've gotten tix. The beau and I will officially ( as of 5 mins ago) be joining you in the dust and we can't wait!

(insert happy dance here)

Best of luck to those who are still waiting! We'd love to see you out there as well.

i've made a point to go to the local thrift stores one day a week looking for cool burner stuff.
This week I braved snowstorms and found a pink furry vest. its mahvelous, dahlink.

Congrats on a great pier. Much cooler than expected. Thank you. W
asn't sure what to do with the hippie I caught so I threw him back.

This goddamn monkey hut is gonna kill me. Todayi have to set it up, take it down and pack it in the frigging car ALL BY MYSELF coz the beau is working. I hope to hell he drives most of the 2300 miles to get there coz I've planned and packed for 3 months and when asked him yesterday if he read the su...

We'll be fine.

... (Now, see, those driving out from the East Coast - this was your alarm going off that you should be leaving!) i wish! got one more work day then 2 more pack days then out the door at 9 am on Saturday. i was shaking here at the hospital where i work. lots of confused looks on people for about 15...

Ohio was rocking, too! Hope nobody was hurt by this. I was talking with another nurse in our hospital on the 4th floor and honestly just thought i was having a "moment" with the movement. Head rush or whatever then one of the social workers came out of their office and asked if we felt the same thin...

fucking license plate registration... got so caught up in all that is TTITD that my birthday passed on Sunday (woohoo big 5-0)and I forgot to renew my car's registration. Now that I've spent all my current cash on the frigging monkey hut, beads for making jewelry and other whatnots, I have to wait t...

THINK??????????
And I've never even met you.
TPBM is gonna leave something at the temple this year.

Not really. I'm a "gotta do all, see all" kinda girl.

TPBM needs to get off eplaya and go to bed.

Aw,man, I'm working there selling coffee on Wednesday. Am I gonna need ear plug? as I'm not much for really loud stuff.
