There's a blog post about how great it is to NOT wait until the last minute to register your art project for 2019!

Thanks, did stop by Planet Earth one night when you were doing 8pm-midnight but it was sparsely attended and the sound system and music was kinda odd, so we rolled off in search of other adventures. Thanks for being there though! It was good to have a starting point destination.

I'm not one for going out to music-based stuff, but I love me some industrial music. Goth, industrial, darkwave, I don't care. Something besides EDM. Know of any camps where I'd be likely to find it? I'm poking through the Rockstar Librarian but I don't know what KIND of music these people are playi...

Nope, SF.

I've got my dirndl ready to go! Who's down for wearing one, or some lederhosen if you're a dude?

Makes perfect sense with the theme. C'mon!

I'm hoping to see lots of GilliganTech/bamboopunk this year. It's sort of cargo-culty..... CLOSE ENOUGH. BAMBOOPUNK IS THE NEW STEAMPUNK. You heard it here first, friends. Hey, maybe this is what I'll finally turn my golf cart into for this year: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e113/diecast_cars/G...

Gas motor--not electric. All golf carts have the same key. (Okay, I"m not sure about gas carts, all electric ones do.) Have some sort of theft/joy ride prevention system in place when you get there. Seconded. I used a flexible cable lock through the steering wheel & around the center armrest of my ...

Your Yammi may or may not need a dust snorkel. I'd have a good mechanic (preferably one familiar with playa dust) look into the air intake. If the fresh, clean air intake (air box) is in a bad spot, such as pointing down toward the playa, then this could be the year to have a dust snorkel installed...

A golf cart will fit in the bed of a fullsize truck, you can close the tailgate if you have a long bed. Oh yeah, you'll need ramps too. You can probably buy one cheaper if you look in the central valley/ sacramento areas. My golf cart is 8 and a half feet long. Someone is towing it for me behind a ...

Hi- I'm trying to figure out how to get my golf cart up to Burning Man. Does anyone know of a good place to rent a utility trailer around the SF Bay Area? I can't seem to find a decent one to buy that's under like....$800+. I need the golf cart up there really early (8/15 or thereabouts), so can't h...

So Grand Sierra has some pretty nice pool cabanas. They tend to have a post-Burning Man Decompression party, which if you're into thumpy club-kid techno music is ok (but sucks if you want peace and quiet, honestly). Their normal weekday rates for pool cabanas are $100 for an entire day, as published...

I do fine talking to strangers or groups if I am fundraising, advertising, or promoting something because I have something to drive the conversation. I'm going to try to do my best to find things that I can use to drive a conversation or at least fall back on. At the burn I'm going to try and make ...

Or, depends on the person. I don't buy anything without the intent to use it. Otherwise it's just gathering dust and being useless and why bother buying it?

So what if it'll never be the same again? Objects are meant to be used, not worshipped.

Meh, if I had a golf cart, the last thing I would make it into would be a golf cart. But that's just me. Yeah, but nothing else is really calling to me enough to put huge amounts of time (which I totally don't have at the mo), money and effort into making something amazing. I don't do things half-a...

The phone idea is hilarious! Maybe next year... I've been thinking. As many great ideas as there have been here (thank you all for playing suggest-the-theme, you are all rad and made me laugh), none of them are truly calling to me. The cart is such a perfect 1989 time capsule, I'm going to leave it ...

Get a used golf bag on freecycle, and get one of these: http://craziestgadgets.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/golf-bag-drink-dispenser.jpg Holy crap, that's hilarious! I had no idea those existed. That would be awesome with some lemonade or something in there. Yum! And yes, I didn't think about Fre...

Maybe a fake undercover artcar? Poorly concealed police hardware, hokey 80s drug motif decoration, police radio hidden, but crackling ... Ask riders for 'psychedelics'. Don't accept any. It's an amusing idea in theory, but it pretty much gives you the short end of the stick with everybody in terms ...

ARTery uses golf carts, but many other departments on-playa do, too. The Org rents a whole big fleet of them every year.

YOU GUYS.

Someone on Reddit says I should turn it into a Dustbuster!!!!!



I won't even have to paint it, it's already tan. Just put a handle on it, and a giant cord trailing out the back of it! HA HA!

What does a "rich 80's country club guy" look like? Make it look like you just time travelled from the golf course from 1989 and were dropped on the playa. I'd have to cross-dress and wear a polo shirt! And some awesome plaid golf pants. Hee! Actually, that would be funny as shit to actually be dri...

Wow, that Star Trek thing looks remarkably similar to the cart! Funny. That would definitely work, tho I'm not much of a Star Trek fan. Similar to the Star Tours ride at Disneyland (RIP Star Tours, sigh): http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20050612033956/starwars/images/thumb/5/53/StarSpeeder_300...

Ha ha. Well, I think it's pretty cool myself, but I don't want to be That Girl driving around a naked golf cart. Then again, if I don't come up with (or have someone come up with) a FABULOUS idea, I might just leave it naked. It's in absolutely pristine condition, it's like a time capsule. Been livi...

Hi, folks. I just picked up an older gas Yamaha golf cart that looks weird as hell (it looks like it's FROM SPACE) and am puzzled as to what to turn it into. Note: I know the MV registration has passed, I don't need to go through the DMV and will not need to "radically mutate it", but I also don't w...

Welcome good burngins

Yeah, it's much more positive here on Eplaya, thank goodness.

I think it might also be helpful for people to mention whether or not they have a ticket-- there are several nice virgins who are posting, but doesn't sound like they have a ticket. The odds this year that someone will gift you a ticket are very low-- that's not what I was thinking when talking abou...

Please remember also, you don't need to be in the same physical location to adopt or be adopted. It can all happen via email, even. I've adopted virgins in the past, who were across the country. Lots of emails, a care package mailed, etc.

Thanks to everyone who is jumping in and participating!

Hi, all. This thread is a connection point for Virgins and experienced Burners to connect (based on my recent blog post: http://blog.burningman.com/2012/03/participate/advanced-gifting-why-not-adopt-a-burning-man-virgin/) If you want to adopt a Virgin, or be Adopted, post here, and connect with each...

Moonrise, thank you so much for the great reply! And to everyone else as well. I'll definitely be referencing back to this thread as I get a cart (yeah, I've heard great things about the club car). For some reason, Eplaya wasn't notifying me of all the new responses. Yay for help from people who've ...

What exactly is a snorkel?
