I have nothing to add, since I'm a birgin, but I'll be watching this thread for replies. We're going with candy-cane rebar, but haven't actually bought/bent it yet.

We put ours up this weekend and it took MAX 15 minutes to put up with 3 people and a few nice gusts of wind. Someone suggested taking a 15 foot rope and measuring out where you would need to place your stakes from the center pole and I think we'll definitely try this next time we set it up. We went ...

Well since we are on the subject of checking ids at bars, i figured I would chime something in. Do NOT walk around on the playa with your actual ID. Leave it in your car! Every year I go to a local print shop and have them photo copy my id. They do a hi-def photo copy then laminate it for $5. You c...

Kinda off topic- Why do people love stickers so much on the playa? I know that nothing makes me feel like a giddy 6 year old more than getting a sparkly sticker (extra points if it's a scratch n' sniff) but I would think that they would lose their sticky and become MOOP quickly on the playa. Is thi...

There are very few reasons to go to town during the burn. Apart from "Crucial Camper Cannot Find Another Ride" they all pretty much come down to "Total FUKCING Meltdown Emergency With Camp Infrastructure." Wanting a burger doesn't count. It can piggy back on the other two, but if it's the second, y...

I actually just bought a North Pole tent from this site and it’s on my way to my house at the moment. All together, it cost $135. The shipping wasn’t too bad considering they’re sending it across the US. I’m a little nervous because it seems a little odd that this is the ONLY place on the i...

I don't think there are any burger joints near the playa. bring the fixens & cook some up!! :) I'm not bringing stuff to actually cook on the playa... It's my first year and I'm sacrificing cooking (living off canned ravioli and boil in bag meals) in order to see as much of the playa as possible. S...

Looks like this website just received a new shipment of this structure for a pretty good price. I know the thread is a bit dated, but just wanted to share with everyone in case you were still looking. For a while, I thought this piece had been discontinued. Hope it helps! http://buyfromhome.com/p-2...

How long does your hair have to be before putting in the colorful extensions? I would love to do this, but my hair will probably only be chin length by playa time. I've made dreadfalls before and attached them to a headband, which allowed me to wash my hair (just take off the headband). Not to the p...

[quote="Ugly Dougly"][img]http://www.itsiticecream.com/images/logo.gif[/img][/quote] Oh man, I'm craving one of those already :D !

Alright, I'll definitely bring some cheap yet delicious hamburgers, some ice cream bars (any particular suggestions?) and maybe a small amount of fresh melon (prepared BEFORE the playa). I would have never thought that people would be craving soda. I guess flat water and juice could get old after a ...

What are you craving by Wednesday on the Playa?
What food/drink are you craving by Wednesday? Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to make it to the playa until Wednesday morning. BUT, I figured I might as well make the most of it. Since I will have access to fresh food and cold beverages while everyone else will have been living out of ice ...
