Tuesday inside Embrace...! We were standing in the long line waiting to ascend up into the heads, and this amazing performer popped in and sang an incredibly powerful song. Then, he was gone! WHO IS HE? Does anyone know?!? This was one of the most enchanting moments I've ever had at Burning Man and ...

I have a tier 2 ticket for BEquinox and now cannot attend. I will sell this ticket for for $60 which is BELOW the tier 1 cost.
Please PM me direct if you are interested. Thanks!

2011 will be my 3rd burn. Like so many others, I have been inspired by the incredible amount of art and technology all across the Playa. Last year I was involved with the Honorarium project "Polygonia" and really enjoyed the experience. This year I'd like to flex muscles that I feel are more my fort...

I'm in a similar situation to the OP.... but leaving out of Reno at noon. So what I gather from the responses is that the mass exodus (with 3-4 hour traffic jams) starts as soon as the burn ends Saturday night? Say I needed to get to Reno Sunday at 9am (absolute latest) to return car and check in fo...

4:30 and Florence, Club Verboten... my 2nd burn. Great thread, looking forward to meeting a lot of you this year.

Wow... I was excited to find this thread! Never thought to look for an Irish Pub on the Playa but I guess anything and everything can be found if you just look hard enough. I play trad. Irish flute and purchased one of the M&E flutes specifically for travel; hardy enough to knock it around without f...

Last year was my first on the Playa, taking a mop of waist-length hair was one of my first concerns in my planning. It's taken so many years to grow, I didn't want it to get destroyed in just one week at Burning Man! I kept it braided all the time, except when I washed it... which was about every ot...

Heliophobia = Fear of the Sun. Actually, I'm not afraid of it, I just can't stay out in it for very long. So.... What volunteer opportunities or theme camp events are there that I could volunteer for, that are: * Not in the sun, or have minimal exposure to it, and * Will have me meeting LOTS of new ...

Thanks everyone for the advice! Especially about the dog screws... I'd forgotten about those things and they might work as well for my application. Cheaper, too! The 30" length of the augers in my original post do seem a bit overkill. Harbor Freight also has item #99693 which are 15" long and are pr...

I am designing a shade structure for our camp but it needs sturdy anchors to withstand the wind gusts. In the past I have used augers (aka "trailer home anchors" or "canopy anchors") to secure large tents but I have only used them in loamy soil. Will augers work in Playa earth, or is the Playa too b...

I'd been wanting to attend for years... I'm getting a late start on planning but am super-enthusiastic. All I need is a push... and a purpose! I could go as a solo but being part of a larger group is more my thing. This will be my first Burning Man, but I'm a regular at similar events. I'm looking f...
