Hey, I was just wondering if I could get some advice. Me and my SO were planning on getting folding bikes for BM. I was wondering if anyone has one/has rode one/has used one at BM. Any input appreciated. I want to know if it's worth buying because I need a new bike anyway but I'm not sure if the spe...

Hi Stephanie, welcome!

I'm from NY too... and this will be my first time also :D

Hello Apex, welcome :D

I totally feel you on it being so far away. I'm from NY so it's quite a trek for me too.

Are you going to PDF (Playa Del Fuego), the regional BM event for our area?

Hi Squeak, welcome!

That's unfortunate that you're surrounded with a bunch of problems at the moment. I hope everything works out for you :) Good luck!

I'm down for an NY tailgate to the desert :D Haha

Hey nGaZ, I'll be coming from New York : ) I know a few people from BK going as well.

But I definitely agree with gaminwench, the regionals are super helpful.

awesome, thanks for the help : )

welcome hippiekitten : )

nGaZ, who?

Haha, thats great. I'm looking forward to the loooong trip down I-80.

Welcome MrandMisBehavin! I have to agree with what everyone is saying. I found out most of my information via Google before I bought my tickets. Then once I absorbed general information and survival information, I joined Eplaya for help with other things that I wanted first hand opinions and advice ...

Hi Bodhi Paige, welcome to e-playa!

2010 will be my first time too. Don't feel crazy... I'm starting to get prepared because I'm so excited and I can't wait :D

Is Pig Hunt another Les Claypool movie? I'll definitely have to check it out.

Yeah, there were certain moments that I found hiarious, others not so much. When I put it on, I didn't expect to hear the Burning Man song though. That's why I posted it :D

Oh, and I like when the guitar player passes out in the woods, only wear 1 sandal.

Has anyone seen this movie 'Electric Apricot: The Quest for Festeroo'? It's a National Lampoon's movie, but it's made be Les Claypool. It's a pretty funny festival/jam band spoof movie.



"Hey are you going to Burning Man?"

Yes, this will be my first burn. Me and my BF got our tickets in the mail last week. We haven't decided what exactly we're doing as far as theme camps. We might be doing our own little thing but I wouldn't mind camping with people from my general area. I'm more concerned about making sure all of the...

Hi Chris, I'm good.. how are you? Are you a first-timer?

welcome fellow first timers!

Welcome, again : )

Hi Jenna! Welcome : )

It's always nice to meet fellow New Yorkers that are going.

Yerp, not trying to get a sunburn. I'm one of those people that think I can go without sunscreen because I don't usually burn, but I'm SOO not trying that in the desert.

Ahah, more power to you. I don't think I'd have the guts to go barefoot. I do appreciate your advice though.

So mine will get pretty bad. There are creases and indentations all over them.

Haha, I totally agree. I love Docs but for the cost, I'll stick with just having one pair. And mine are no where close to the condition the picture shows. Many mosh pits took a toll on them so I wouldn't really care if they got wrecked.... to a certain extent of course.

I was thinking about bringing my Docs, but I thought they would collect more dust than the ones in question. Docs are suitable for the playa? http://sc7img.dillards.com/is/image/DillardsZoom/02806712_zi?layer=comp&op_usm=2.0,0.5&&rgn=0,0,1760,2040&scl=6.666666666666667&fmt=jpeg&id=1UpqKg0dzMLsIKJUYp...

[quote="TomServo"] You can, you just can't ship it, without a liscenced shipper.[/quote] Okay, cool... I wasn't sure. Zachass, no problem. I'm glad to help. The Strohs' site would probably be helpful to you. You can locate a dealer... but there aren't any on your coast that I could find (CA, OR, WA,...

Wait, you can't bring beer (or any alcohol) across state lines?! I didn't know that..... Just in case I read something wrong, if you find anyone coming from the east.. there is a place in Odgen, Utah (as per the Strohs' website): GOLDEN BEVERAGE CO LLC 2361 B. AVENUE OGDEN 84401 8013993773 Atleast i...

True, good looking out... thanks!

Thanks LaReyna! It's pretty fun. I'm actually making dreads with the Man on them. But anyway, the rave posted above this is in Brooklyn. And Bioluminescence is a fundraiser for BM and is coming up pretty soon in the city. DisOrient hosts it. I hear they throw some sick parties and have had some fun ...

CFM, I'll give you that.. my boots are pretty heavy. I think I'll have to practice riding my bike in them and that can be the deciding factor. I like the boots you have and those sneakers do look pretty comfortable because of the flat wedge. And thanks Elliot, I will probably be bringing 4 pairs of ...
