I like it. I can relate to it. When I went through puberty, all I got was a coupon for kotex. Burning Man was my real entry into womanhood....

I heard it was "Rites of Passage" but that might be bullshit.

*remodel update * decided after all to rip out the carpet, good thing since I found a little mold up front from an old leak :( Floor is strong though and It rained most of the day and dry as a bone so it's definately an old leak. We priced the pergo and well lets just say buying stick down tiles le...

Thanks to Tom Servo, for graciously letting me adopt his old goggles, I'll post some more pics once I have painted them and made them prettty. I'm so excited. http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs366.snc3/23592_340150569892_689139892_3392729_1015446_n.jpg Again, thanks tom! :D Those are very cool lookin...

Getting our Rv today 8) Had to tell someone !! I can't wait to remodel it with "playa" in mind hehe. Does anyone have experience with installing floating laminate floors in rvs ? It's an old c class beater but it runs like a champ. I am picking up some mismatched bits and pieces of laminate and jus...

Re: Renting and RV... I rented one year and with the mileage it was $2,500 (and I lost the deposit). I then bought an old RV for $10,000 and this is year three with it - already paid for itself, plus I had it the rest of the year for trips near home. It isn't pretty, no gennie, no AC, but the conven...

Those are very awesome, thanks for the link. Awesome price too - I ended up getting a northern shield tent thing, which won't keep out the dust, but should be good for shade. Only $180...

One of the best bands ever. Don't know whatever happened to them.

bah. Was trying to post a picture I took in Malaysia. I fail. But it was really cool.

"Namaste, motherf**ker"

I think he was reading it from a bumper-sticker, but nonetheless, I have taken it fully to heart and it is my mantra.

Swallow and you may be able to worm onto someone else's MV.

I love eplaya snark. It is my reason for getting up every morning.

I would also highly suggest bringing a spare air filter, just in case. We changed ours just after driving off the playa last year, and it was great not having to worry about it - the old filter was completely clogged. Also don't forget some water or coolant for the rad. There is some altitude to dri...

I RV it and this is my third year - BUT I don't run the air con, I keep the beast closed up tight to try to keep the dust down, I don't shower because the grey tank fills up too fast, and I don't use the toilet because it stinks. Needless to say, most of my time is spent outside under shade. The bes...

I peed a little when I went down the wedge.

I'm sorry.

*worse*

Revel in that monster! Be loud and proud. Decorate it with glow in the dark stars and happy face stickers. Or duct tape it to your belly and wear a sarong. I don't see the difficulty, seriously.

Um. A little crazy maybe, but certainly knowledgeable. Every year, I take the DSLR thinking that I will dedicate one day and one night to taking photos. I have done that, but the hauling around of lenses and tripods and all is getting a bit grating, especially when I can enjoy the much more beautifu...

Yeah, that's what I thought, unless you have an adult guardian or parent.

My son is 17 and this is his third burn. You will have an eye-opening, life-changing experience IF you read the first-timer's guide three times and then REMEMBER everything. Water, rest, be prepared always. Underage drinking is illegal and there are undercovers. Don't just focus on the party. Never ...

Great shots purrijan. As good or better than anything I had last year with the big dslr.

It's gonna be a good year.

Bling, how is the lag time on the Canon? I was looking into an Olympus waterproof:

Forgive me. What is PLUR?

Thanks for another camera thread - I have taken my DSLR two years now and both times I only managed to take about 100 shots before I couldn't be bothered to lug it around anymore. This year, a small waterproof cheapie is coming. If it is easier to cart around, I might actually use it.

You can find them in any store that caters to caregiving for bedbound patients. Drugstores, home health centres. A bit pricy, but so worth it. http://medicalnoise.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/aloe-vesta-cleansing-foam.jpg I have learned a trick or two during my adventures. And I won't tell you the s...

So mental note for 2010: Run after the water trucks! Keep that a mental note, rather than a physical action. Talk about getting ick in your hair. They make waterless or no rinse shampoos. I bring one or two - it is SO refreshing in the middle of the week when the itch makes you crazy. You can find ...

My hair is long and fine and curly - after my first burn, I had to cut it all off because it go so damaged - the best thing that worked for me was keeping it religiously wrapped up in a scarf all week, washing it with waterless shampoo and then spraying the crap out of with leave in conditioner.
