There is a great burner community here in LA (if that is near you). Get yourself on the mailing list to if you want to hear about local meet-ups, noobie orientations, etc. My fire conclave formed through the LA burners email years ago and now we are a great group of friends. The link to subscribe is...

UPS might be right, give it a few more days. I had a package recently that showed as delivered and it didn't show up for another 3 days. Apparently this is common. Especially as it seems no one has actually received their tickets yet.

Metropolis 2: Electric Boogaloo

We took a ride through the DMZ one afternoon early in the week and it was a sea of abandoned bikes, backpacks, clothes, water bottles, vape pens, etc, etc.

Just wanted to revisit this thread to thank the Mutant Vehicles on the 6:00 side of the man burn this year. They turned their music down during the fire conclave and we had one of our best performance experiences in years.

Thanks.

Just did a quick search and found this video. Not sure if it is the Dancetronauts we hear here, but I sure as shit dont hear any drumming.

Personally, I never understood why someone would do will call unless they absolutely had to. Having a hard ticket in your hand seems to make so much more sense to me. I have a file folder with all my BM info for the year, and the ticket and vehicle pass goes in a brightly colored envelope. I can th...

David, I just wanted to say that your section of the Conclave was incredibly beautiful and everyone around me was watching in rapt attention. We all recognized you were doing this for us in spite of the major distraction, and while there were some angry mutters about it, we had to choose between wa...

Unfortunately Radrangerreb those of us in Conclave did not have the option of moving somewhere else. Every group is given an assigned spot and that is where you perform. Also, the rules of conclave do not allow us to use amplified music so are are dependent on our drummers to provide a beat for us. ...

Our fire conclave was located practically in front of the Dancetronauts. Our carefully choreographed drumming and dancing that we have spent months practicing was nearly drowned out by their incessant noise and self promotion. I encourage everyone to write complaints to the DMV. I do not want to see...

Here's an update, for those still interested.

Someone needs to tell those holograms to stop leaving their condoms lying around.

Burning Man 2: Electric Boogaloo

BEST: On the way back at one of the border checks between nevada & california, the guard looked at us, looked at the condition the truck was in, looked back at us and said "Get the fuck outta here, I don't wanna breathe that shit in" WTF? They guard the borders between states now? It's an agricultu...

i want to know how not to be a douche bag. enlighten me.

David... Yes. I mentioned that it was the last pic and the other three were not from RS is there a solution? I think so. A Deep playa Ghetto for sound camps , away from the city, the way it used to be. it's worth thinking about it. then the sound camps can all work together to patrol their Village ...

From the pics it looks like RS left firewood behind, which isn't good obviously. But it doesn't seem as egregious as leaving a car, trailer, couch, bbq, jars of piss, etc. I have never been a fan of the sound camps, but I always figured let people burn how they want. Camping on 2:30 this year I saw ...

Our camp was having a great week until this ASSHAT strolled into our camp and ruined our entire burn.....

Wheels up in 4 hours. Can someone remind me what I forgot to pack?

From the article.... Attorneys for Burning Man say the county’s festival ordinance directly conflicts with the BLM permit. The ordinance goes into effect in October, meaning it would affect the 2013 event, and would allow Pershing County deputies to regulate behaviors that are considered “obscene, i...

You're coming in very late to a conversation (this thread is only a tiny portion of it) that has been going on for about 10 months. Don't get your panties in a wad. Yeah, reading more for the past couple hours, I see what you mean. I guess I'm just a bit frustrated at my own mistake of buying ticke...

Just saw a seller on Ebay with two tickets for sale. The auction is going to end in a few hours and the current bid is around $250 for the pair. A certain band I listen to (which will remain nameless) sells a percentage of it's tickets via a lottery before the general Ticketmaster sale. Some shows s...

This is from the "12 ways to treat an introvert" graphic that was going around a while back. 1. Respect their need for privacy. 2. Never embarrass them in public. 3. Let them observe first in new situations. 4. Give them time to think. Don’t demand instant answers. 5. Don’t interrupt them. 6. Give t...

There could be a name for disorder that makes people prognosticate the happenings, who knows?
