Another 50-something Beatty resident chiming in -- welcome! Last year was my first burn and tho I haven't hit any Vegas get togethers yet, I'm gonna try to this year. Went solo last year and had a blast but do pay attention to the posts above as they speak truth.

Sounds like you guys have deeper issues than just Burning man. Truth. She gave you a shot at going and experiencing BM with her. You declined. Now you're afraid of what she'll do or how your relationship might change? It's all on you, my friend. You could, ya know, suck it up and go even if it's no...

Damn, I'm in for the pickled garlic. Never thought about that one

Then you know the drill. When folks contribute, you gets what you gets. We had combos of everything from snappy tom to generic juice. We lined up each bucket in line with each ingredient and just....guessed. Many types of hot sauce, from cholula to tapatio to tobasco. Perhaps that was part of the ma...

I brought a couple of shemaghs but ended up wearing this mostly:

Speaking of which, is there any way to possibly get reprints of the BRC Weekly issues say like in downloadable .pdf format? You could always go to our website and download it. :D Note- the images came out weird for some reason in the pdf. We don't know why, but it makes a good way of telling an ori...

lol, well we made 'em in 5 gallon buckets....that recipe was: tomato juice til about 4" from the top. One largish bottle of worchestershire, 1/4 bottle of lime juice, level water dipper of horseradish, 1/2 handful of pepper, 1/4 handful of celery salt, about 1/4 small bottle of tobasco, stir an...

I made them this year (for lamplighters, 200 gals.) if you have recipe questions

^^^^dammit you beat me to it figjam lol (oh and I'm definitely stealing your swamp cooler idea for next year) Got called a "stealth virgin" by a couple of people this year <shrug> Dunno what it means but perhaps worth an entry Found it on PissClear: "a Newbie who acts so much like a j...

I want to show you how our village handles space logistics. Maybe you could pick up a pointer or two that could help Sacred Spaces next year. And vice versa. I have a question about theme camps. This was my first burn and I went in with the Lamplighters. It was work: got there early to help build t...

You know, I never said I thought it was a good idea. I just saw it. It's something that happened in front of me. I didn't walk away with a brand. But over 90 people decided it was a good idea. I wonder how many got home thinking that... i don't have a single tattoo -- but I do have a BM brand on my...

I have been contacted by several people on this, so I thought it should have a thread of its own. The M&G will be held at Barbie Death Camp & Wine Bistro Thursday beginning at 6 p.m. We do respectfully request that you bring something to share, such as beer, alcohol, mixer, snacks, or ice. ...

It's just like death valley with mod cons.

Heh, thanks!

I'm actually looking forward to getting to some cooler weather It's been brutal here this summer.

There is a rebar fetish. A good 9-18 inch metal stake is better, if it is a proper type. ...and here's a link to show you how to sink them properly: http://www.tentexperts.com/pdf/StakingGuide_LowRes.pdf to contribute: I'm Russ, grizzled 52 yo.

Thanks for the replies.

Yeah, I'm bringing a propane grill but I'm also gonna smoke a bunch of ribs and charcoal is required in the smoker. I'll bring a metal can.

If'n you want to caravan, I'll be leaving from Beatty, NV (right outside of Death Valley) -- also going solo. Camping in with the lamplighters.

Done. Didn't realize phpBB had that stuff off by default

I keep burnable trash separate from regular trash (and separate from alum cans) and burn as the burnable trash boxes fill up. I bring cardboard boxes for burnable trash so no mess on the burn platforms with things blowing around or having to dump out plastic bags. This is a good idea and I'm steali...

Another option is to use seltzer water in lieu of vinegar. It also relieves the alkalai. Smells better and in a pinch can be used as a mixer.
