Hi, there, This is Greeter Dan. I'm a 12-time San Francisco-based Burner in need of a bit of truck space. I've got a shade structure (including a whole bunch of poles and box of tarps, bungees, connections, etc) that needs to get transported to/from the playa. I've got an early arrival pass and need...

Hey, folks, Greeter Dan here. I'm putting together a Jaded Fucks versus Starry-eyed Virgins debate at San Francisco Decompression. Essentially, a face-off to debate hot Burning Man topics between those who feel like it was Better Last Year and those who can't wait to go back RIGHT NOW and OMG I'm go...

For years, I've seen Segways out on the playa. There were definitely more this time around than I've seen before, though. No question. Like orders of magnitude more. Now, I'll admit, I love Segways, and have long wished I could have one for the playa (or for the real world, for that matter). But the...

I'm weighing in here, because this thread brought up some questions in my mind, and I didn't want to start a whole new thread. Just for context, 2004 was my 7th Burn. I think I have a pretty good sense of what goes on in BRC. I'm sure I still have a lot to learn, but... First...I agree that it's a g...

Yeah! Burning Man is selling out. It's getting more and more commercial every year. MTV is there. The ads in Piss Clear. My god! Did you guys see the big Coke sign on top of Thunderdome? For God's sake, isn't "Thunderdome" a brand? I mean, for chrissake, didn't you hear about the Travelocity Burning...

Where was the art? I heard that question more than any other this year. It's true: there was much less big art. Other than the Temple and Jadu Beta, there wasn't really anything big this year. But as I discovered after many a wander on the open playa - and even in the city itself, the magic in the a...

Hey, all you lovely Burners out there... This is Greeter Dan writing. This is my 7th year on the playa, and just so you know I am truly a participant, I am doing 7 4-hour shifts this year for DMV and the Greeters. I have also been part of the Media Team, as well as an editor on Drama in the Desert a...

Hi... Some friends and I were wandering around on Friday night and we came across the tall wiggly lights. At first, we just wanted to play with them, as others were doing. It was fabulous. Great fun, and terrific visually. One of our friends (who has much power) began exhorting some of those playing...

Hello, Greeter Dan here. On Sunday morning, some friends and I were sitting in the pyramid with the symbols of many religions (I don't know the name of it), and we noticed something that looked like a big hamburger on the horizon. I grabbed a bike to ride out to it, and discovered the altar inside. ...
