[quote="PavementBlues"] Trolling ePlaya: Annoying. Bad idea. REPEATEDLY trolling ePlaya: Seriously...just don't.[/quote] When I first read this I got super sad/worried because I read it as "no trolling on the Playa" (I didn't see the "e" before Playa) and I thought this whole discussion was for not....

Ugh. No tea baggers. Are your plans for the koolaid camp more fun and games or more casual? I'd be down for considering something that is more low key- not trying to entertain the entire playa 24/7 and not having a crazy volunteer schedule of when to be where to entertain whom. It is my first year o...

wouldn't a sign "free sex" be more too the point?

Welcome home both of you! ePlaya has been a tremendous help for me already- and well, people will answer your questions-- but after reading your post, what exactly is (are) your question(s)? Are you looking for people to meet up with? recommendations on what to bring for your food? Things to give pe...

while we're on the topic of theme camps... how much does size vary on these? what's the best way to find out about commitments- just start emailing folks when the contacts go up on the theme camp page? This will be my first burn and I'm *really* leaning towards camping with just the few friends I ha...

what about the best way for a babe to hit on a ... uhh...?? dude?

and wouldn't bacon work better than a pork-chop?

My first thought was "jesus, why do you own those in the first place?!"

buuuuuuut are they worth investing in in general? can playaed UGGs still be worn in defaultia?

It's ok, I don't really like ice-cream either

contact juggling is so freaking cool. if you had some lighted balls that would be freaking awesome

I'm not too often a bike rider, so I'm thinking I will probably skip out on getting one- but I heard from a friend the Playa is getting pretty torn up and thus not so easy to ride on.... comments from burners?

at what point is the theme camp page usually updated?

*hug*

I mean, I sucked at chemistry... but sodium chrolide is table salt, right? And what's a "mike for a week" following added in edit: the fully cooked bacon is amazing. you can eat it right out of the bag if you don't mind it on the chewy side. (I'll let you know in the morning whether that's a good id...

Do you think it's vegan?

First, I had to laugh at the comment of "long hair" being shoulder length. And also, I'm glad this thread exists as I've been super curious about what to do with mine. Mine is almost to the small of my back, thick and curly. I don't *really* want to dread it, but I have *no* idea how to keep it main...

What's the battery life expectancy for a string of 20 LED lights-- I see they take 3 AA batteries, but how long will they stay on? I saw that non-LEDs will stay on eight hours with two C batteries-- is that true too??

This has been an incredibly helpful thread for this virgin :) i've been apprehensive about everything because I don't party a lot (ha, we'll see if that stays the case!), I'm more of a social butterfly So yes, thank you for all the various aspects and acknowledging a WIDE variety of folks exist- and...

BFE: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=BFE

Dunno about no eyebeam. Sounds like somethin' them city folks got.

:)

I'd die for any sort of burner meet up. The best I got is a couple of friends who've gone before who live THOUSANDS of miles away and a regional burn that is MONTHS away and ONE other friend who's never been either but she lives like 8 hours from me. You *have* to go for me!!! I can only imagine how...

NO MA'AM! No mad cow disease coming with this girl!! NO MA'AM!!

and I just found out a friend of mine is going. She's from BFE too, just a different BFE.

usually with international flights you can get your bags over for free- or at least one. Just get your water once you get here or you'll go over your weight limit :)

just waiting to send in my request for flipside, but thank you for the tip as well- I'm planning on meeting some folks there -- as long as I get a ticket :)

Thank you all for the welcome so far... and BSE??

Just another one of those virgin burners from a podunk-nowhere town on my way to BRC with way too many questions, etc :) Look forward to learning about folks and BM over these next months then maybe meeting in person on the Playa :) Don't know any (ok, only one or two) burners, don't know anyone goi...

you'd never bad PBR for breakfast?! I've never been to BM, but at least I've done that :) I guess it won't be so scary after all....

Victorian, It'll be my first time too and like you, I live in the middle of nowhere. I don't know any local burners but what I'm doing is sending texts/emails/whatever to people I know in my community who might know some burners to touch base with. I also am planning on going to a regional burn at t...

If you are going to sew something yourself, make sure you know about material and how to follow a pattern. I just joined a quilting guild and will probably have something quilted to wear- there are lots of old ladies there who are thrilled to answer questions about sewing :) It'll be ugly and probab...

Arika here from East Texas- virgin burner, hoping to find folks to carpool with/camp with- only folks I know who are going live hours away :( and the majority (like 99.99999% of people I know) don't even know what BM is I'll be going to Burning Flipside (Central Texas burn in May) This will be my fi...
