Yeah I meant a BLM Ranger, not the BRC volunteers. I know the difference, this was my 5th burn,

Sorry to hear this - thoughts with the injured and those stranded.

About 12 hours from camp to Reno for us - about 7 hours in line then stopped for a 2.5 hour sleep near pyramid lake because we were both so tired. We left about 9:30pm yesterday having watched the temple burn from the RV roof at our camp site after breakdown.

I have nothing but positive feedback of the LEOs. They were super friendly, stopped for a chat with us, talked us through all the gadgets on their uniforms (we're from the UK), gave us Junior Ranger pin badges and BLM wrist bands and told us to flag them down if we needed anything because they were ...

What I remember reading is that a Registered Theme Camp must be set up and ready for "business" when the event opens. That's the reason for Early Arrival passes. Well only speaking from experience of my camp - we usually have 70-100 members but are only granted 5 EA passes. Those 5 guys do a lot of...

We just leave ours in the stairwell.

And brush out the dust once a day with a broom.

I have mid length hair (down to my shoulders) and i don't wash it at all at BM - just shake it out and pin it up in madder and more outlandish up-dos throughout the week, I love it!

I just think first come, first served was fine. And having had 10 years + of non transfrerrable ticketing system for Glastonbury there is virtually no secondary market for those tickets. This has been hashed out on the ticket threads for this year. Please read up before re-opening the can of worms....

I mooped loads of bits of mirrored squares and rhinestones.

Shall we just ban crafting altogether?

But you weren't obligated to buy a STEP ticket once your name came up. yeah i know it was a bit more complicated than that - I took it so that I could sell my other to a friend and then she simultaneously got one in STEP too. Anyway, all history now blah blah.... I just think first come, first serv...

Corn chips dipped in spicy salsa, guacamole and sour cream has become my staple.

[quote="pink"]Well, why the hell did you buy a STEP ticket if you already I entered STEP, assumed there wouldn't be a cat in hells chance of getting a ticket (after i waited minths for one to come up) so took the opportunity that presented itself to me to buy one. I literally got the STEP ticket on ...

I got lumbered with an extra ticket because I bought one from a friend when I didnt get one in the initial lottery and the I got one in STEP right at the last minute and couldn't shift the original one. So I basically paid double for BM this year. Sucks. BMORG - for gods sake please will you simply...

Illumination Village , one of the oldest and most-flammable villages in BRC, expects to be placed near 3:30 & Esplanade. We will have a much larger Esplanade presence this year, with a Fire Garden (many fun toys), a tall light sculpture/navigational aid, and a Fire Stage with a 30' Aerialist tripod...

It's cool if all the tickets went to virgins...just a long as they all come and built plenty of awesome theme camps so there'll still have cocktail bars, amazing art and places to go and hear great music.

(2) Europeans in RVs who are attracted by the idea of a giant rave and participate by giving out a few cans of beer to strangers . That's a bit unfair. I'm a european who comes in an RV, and yes I like to dance! But for the last 3 years I've paid significant amounts of money and contributed signifi...

Trilobyte, Respectfully, that isn't a reality my camp had to wrangle with last year. We all ordered tickets the day they went on sale, and had exactly the number we needed. We didn't buy more and hoard them, we didn't get less because of a ticket shortage that wouldn't present itself for another 6 ...

This system sucks. First come, first served is always going to be fairer - and based on last year vs this year - MUCH less time consuming and stressful. To stop scalpers PLEASE consider using the system that Glastonbury festival in the UK uses - participants register with a photo. Their photo, name ...

Coming from the UK I have to deal with the annual scrum that is Glastonbury tickets - 180k tickets sell out in 3 hours. So my thoughts re: Burning Man tickets are: if you want to go - plan to buy your ticket when they go onsale! Kind of have little sympathy with those whining about ticket selling ou...

Hello neighbour - the good ship HMS XS has sailed all the way from the UK and will be docking in the 3 o'clock portal for the week. Come and say hi!

We used El Monte last year and the were really great and totally burner friendly - they even gave us a printed information sheet especially with Burner Tips like covering the seats and so forth. My advice (in addition to what else has already been posted in this thread) would be to buy all of your c...

Im from the UK and have rented RVs two years in a row now. Last year we rented from Cruise America and we had a tire blow-out and a bed that broke. We returned it probably cleaner than we picked it up (4 people scrubbing the shit out of it for 3 hours) and we got all of our deposit back plus a refun...

Anymore 3 o'clockers?

Awesome map, thanks for all your hard work!

Please could you add Burningdales Department Store to 3pm/Plaza?

If you come to the Berserkus Boudor at 9 and F, my friends in that camp are also getting married on Tuesday evening and in that camp are several makeup artists giving makeovers - come along in the afternoon and they will sort you right out.

Congratualtions - I hope your wedding is magical xx

[quote="Shambala"]Oh how you eplayan burner freaks inspire me! I made up a bunch of very cool, police specific swag to pass out to any suspected police or undercover cops.

Excellent - come and have a drink and a dance with us!

Come and visit BURNINGDALES (UK theme camp) - An emporium of pleasure... 24/7 bar, lounge and disco. Positioned in the 3 o'clock plaza when facing the man on Athens :)
