So, someone dosed me.

if that's the actual case, then burningman has become hazardous beyond measure. it it not safe to attend. you have no choice but to agree with me.

A lot of the people tripping on acid these days have probably never even heard of Timothy Leary leary was just the messenger. anyone (with few exceptions) who has experimented with LSD doesn't need leary's teachings to know that you don't dose anyone without their permission. that's the intrinsic n...

sleep depravation and playa stress can cause symptoms very similar to tripping on psychedelics. it frequently does. every third person out there is under the impression that they've been dosed at one point during the week. most of the people on the playa are from the generation after generation X. t...

it's not "+1 KV" - he only illustrated the lackluster type 'warning' BMorg made about the massive undercover operations at the event. if BMorg cared about its participants, the title would be: UNDERCOVER STINGS AT BURNING MAN - THIS MEANS *YOU*! and then go into detail on the scale and how elaborate...

wow! i DID miss that. BMorg actually mentioned the word, 'undercover'. holy shit - at burning man? surely it's only a few, and something to be aware of, but not really a massive and elaborate undercover organization designed to cull the herd. otherwise, there would be some type of real warnings. sti...

;-) i'm actually a self-employed goon. the LEO stands for 'law enforcement officer'. i'm one of those BRC rangers who secretly wishes to be a cop. you can see me on the playa embedded with teams of LEOs assisting them in the early morning hours raiding camps for anything illegal. i love joking and l...

i'd say it's more closely related to sand than flour. flour is made of cereal grains, other seeds, or roots.

it doesn't seem too unreasonable when you consider everything the borg provides everyone. with the massive infrastructure crews they make it so easy to attend the event safely, i'd probably assume theme camps were just as coddling. plus, the event effectively targets hipsters and yupsters who make u...

it's a bit like having a stinking decomposing corpse in your living room, and the kids keep poking at it and asking you, is it dead?

what gets annoying about the repeated question, is that they're asking the wrong question. they should be asking, when are you going to burry this horrible thing?

AKAparttime: ( Every unnecessary volunteer ) ? So what are you saying ? volunteer's are not necessary ? unnecessary volunteers are NOT necessary. the boom in volunteerism began in response the the sheriff taking the gate money in 97. broke, the LLC couldn't handle the workload required to keep the ...

Ashta, of course, i wasn't referring to you specifically... the nudity thing is why most people object to the pictures going public, and because they're behaving in ways that would embarrass them in their real-worlds. the LLC has meant for burning man to increase in every way. that's why you see the...

it's only not dead because the LLC has an obligation to prop that stick up every year and take your money so yupsters can pretend to be anarchists for a few days each year. it's only not dead because the group-think of the culture continues to convince several thousand people each year that voluntee...

that's good advice. i thought posting: "We're bringing back the Monster Energy Drink truck, but this time it will be an electrified 18 wheeler and we will not cover the logo as it rolls up and down the esplanade each night passing out free drinks and Tshirts that read: Fuck you! We're Clan Destino!"...

i know. larry harvey is a friend of mine.

We're really hoping for placement this year. We've answered all of the Burning Man's questions and we think this year, we're going to kick ass with the reinvention of Clan Destino: Purchased a ticket?: ------------------- yes What years have you attended Burning Man?: -------------------------------...

i'm very sorry, mayavin. please forgive me. i was blacked-out when i posted that foul image. i should have known better, please forgive me.

BUT HOW DO YOU LIKE THISE FOULS?

sorry, but this is classic DPW. a DPW vehicle pulls up to camp saying, 'we're DPW - my passenger needs a sip of wine... come on, we built this city, just a sip of wine, please..." then a well meaning "DPW is awesome" campmate hands them a bottle, and then they drive off with the wine. i've seen this...
