Drove from Reno to Boise today. Fernley and Winnemucca were pretty quiet. I have 5 days to pack, then I turn around and drive back on Thursday for Friday entry. I've brought my brothers, my wife, and I can't believe I get to do this again, this time with my daughter!

You people are the best!

No answer to any of my email inquiries...but as of today it has been shipped and should arrive tomorrow. I'm guessing they saw my requests and went "OH SHIT"

Whatever...just happy they'll be here before I leave!

I'm starting to panic. My ticket status on the website says "Not Shipped". I leave for the playa in 12 days. If they force me to go to will call I'll be really pissed!

I've sent messages to ticketing...nothing yet.

WTF!!!!!

I never really expect to get tickets these days but I got lucky this morning. Now I have to see if I can make it work!

I'm a local Boise guy. Been going to the event on and off since 2009. My first advice would be to check into the Xanadu project in Boise. It's a local collective of Burners doing art and great community things. That's what that thing in the desert is really about.

I used a 7K BTU window unit in my old travel trailer the same size. That and a few well placed fans and I was in heaven!

NO YOU DON'T!!!

Get your shit together, show up, find a spot, set up a tent, help out with your neighbors, and explore.

It's really as simple as that!

I can't even figure out to respond to this. I live here in Boise and get to see it daily. It's a tragedy! A guy I know, who had attended that very event earlier in the day, decided it was a good idea to go to band practice that night with a bunch of people who had been careful to limit their circle ...

Nice to meet you and good luck! Do your research, brush aside the snark, and have fun!

I've got it in my head to host a BM style party for my friends at my property in Idaho on Labor Day Weekend. Camping, live music, ATV's, rafting and/or kayaking, hot springs. Everyone's being encouraged to bring something to freely share with everyone else. I've already heard some great ideas from f...

Bless you and your family in this tough time. Both my frail, elderly parents are locked down in separate homes, unable to see the people they love. I pray they make it through or pass peacefully like your loved ones!

We are not alone in this!

c'est la vie

2014 was the last year I attended before finally getting tickets this year. The single biggest change I saw was the increase of e-bikes and scooters (with and without seats). I admit, early in the week I was a bit jealous. Especially after long rides into the wind to return to camp. But as the week ...

I did not lose a single thing while I was there. I feel like I"m doing it wrong....

A beautiful, young 9 year old boy was lost in a drowning accident on the Feather River. I had the pleasure of being good friends with his father and it has hit me really hard thinking about what agony he must be feeling. I've reached out and donated to the fundraising account, but it never feels lik...

I haven't used that before but my only concern would be restricting your turning radius. I imagine two bikes parallel to the back of your truck sticking out and over a bit of the trailer tongue. In tight turns your propane tanks or the edge of your camper might be a problem. Just thinking out loud! ...

My point exactly. I don't want to be part of a camp.

Especially one that would have me as a member.

Are you a camp that inflated your population to improve your chances or to get a better placement closer to the Esplenade? Did you end up with more space that you could possibly use and are struggling to make good use of it? I've got just the solution for you! My brother and I will come set up my tr...

Nice work Bunny! You've got a nice camp planned. Like Ratty said...get there early to make sure you have the space you need and be ready to adapt on the fly in case it goes sideways. My brother and I are in a similar situation. My camp is a little more DIY, but taking it up a few levels this year to...

Hi godiechoes, Welcome to Eplaya! Good job getting started early and planning ahead. There are lots of ways to do this event. You can camp solo, with a small unplaced group or you could join an established camp. Depends on what you are looking for. Vehicle passes are pretty valuable at this point. T...

I sent you a PM...I don't want to post any details in public to make it harder on potential thieves....

I got my tix a few days ago...I just logged on and checked my profile. There is no indication about shipping either way.

I found mine in the mailbox this morning....this is really happening!

What he said....

I've been to BM a bunch. I built a shade cover for my Travel Trailer once.

Once!

I tell you what...these dumbass fucking camps better use their space to good value! If I read another post from some camp whose members can't find tickets...good lord. It'll be hard to find a spot for my little solo camp because of dipshits like these! They can take their fucking mindfulness seminar...

I still have a couple of "Ratty" original costume pieces in my collection.

I love your work! You are an inspiration...

Off to the 2nd hand stores this weekend!

I was with a placed camp and had early entry work passes in '12 and '13. Even then there was plenty of open camping so I never gave it a second thought. This year, I was looking forward to camping solo. Now I'm wondering if I should rethink my plans and see about joining back up with my old camp or ...

It begins again....I just got my new alumanet in the mail for my shade structure.

I'm going to have to do a test build this weekend for fun!

Thank you everyone!

Going to the event is the big deal but I'd forgotten how much fun it is to dream/plan/execute a BM plan. It's really a ticket to 6 months of fun for me!

The Meet 'N Greet is on my to-do list this year...but you know how that goes. Hopefully we'll get to meet in person!
