It's a good thing that there's only one thing going on at a time at Burning Man. Otherwise the whole event could get really crazy. This way you can plan out your entire burn before you even leave home! Hooray!

I don't have much to offer for your setup, though. Good luck.

hey. We are heading out of Portland, and I was curious if anyone who has traveled from there with a large vehicle has any recommendations on route. We will be in a school bus hauling a trailer and fairly weighted down so I'd rather avoid hills as much as possible. I expect not do about 25 heading up...

We don't know how many early entry passes we have yet, but if it looks like we have more than we will use, we can probably help you out. I just noticed that you guys are from Portland, where we're located. Is your flatbed traveling from Portland? Email me at talik at meatbeer dot com.

haha. Love the bowling ball idea. Also, good point on bolt cutters. I would never have thought of that, but I have a 4' I can bring. That thing can cut through pretty much anything. Also, we'll take people's advice and not bring cups. We expect a fair amount of traffic since we are right on the espl...

Well said, Igneouss. I tend to agree that the BMORG is looking for something unique. They particularly like themed camps. There's a huge difference between a dance floor, and a dance floor in a jungle. I'd like to add that it's probably safe to assume city creation goes something like this: 1. Creat...

Double shitcakes, Batman! That's a crazy amount.

What camp were you? What time was your busiest?

[quote="BitterDan"]If I am not mistaken we brought: 40 Gallons - Moonshine 100 Gallons - Misc Hard Liquor 6-10 - Kegs of Beer A shit-ton of mixers[/quote] Wow, BitterDan, that's a lot more than we were planning. How many hours a day were you open? How much do you think you might have gone through in...

Some great info here. Thanks for the responses. We aren't actually a "bar camp", but a fairly large forest(ish) themed camp with a 60 foot dome, music, misters, etc.. Last year we were on 'A' and we had a couple big dance parties with open bars but I don't think we kept track of how much alcohol we ...

haha. I didn't say we were reasonable, by any means. Definitely a few of our members have put in a tremendous amount of personal resources, both time and money. We have several engineers, and people generally good at making things, so a lot of the stuff we've made from scratch, which has helped a bi...

Thanks for the response. I assume you guys were 4 hours a day during the heat of the day?

Hey, I was hoping to get some info from camps that have run open bars in high traffic areas on what to expect, mostly in terms of alcohol consumption. How many gallons a day of liquor do you plan for? Beer? Mixers? Cups? Ice? Anything else worth imparting?

Thanks.

[quote="Zang"]It's probably NOT that easy to figure out when it comes to actual placement, but it should answer your question about why there's a bias against "theme" camps that are 85% residential.[/quote] Right. Being a theme camp isn't about camping, it's about creating something. Nearly every me...

I think that what they are trying to avoid is having the inner eschelon of BRC becoming a tent-zilla. I feel for all of the people who didn't get placed and I understand that there are probably many legitimate camps who weren't able to make it in that would have helped bring up the general awesomene...
