We stayed there last year on Sat&Sun before the Burn and it was great - just booked a room for this year too. Thanks for arranging this again, Doc!

The difference between buying a ticket from a scalper and prostituting yourself for one is, if you suck dick for a ticket and brag about it, burners will still respect you.

Promise?

Ahhhh - fellow travelers along the Beam. Awesome.

I received my confirmation last night - checked my email while driving home and nearly drove off the road in my excitement. Still, it's hard to feel like celebrating when so many people are ticketless. Congrats to all those who got tickets; to those who didn't - there's still hope. Hang in there. {h...

Congratulations to all the winners. It's nice to see the joy in the posts. And every time I see the little (1) on the tab of my e-mail inbox, I get a rush -- followed by utter disappointment when I see it's not a confirmation. For the last couple hours, it's been like that: RUSH! deflate RUSH! defla...

I'm not getting all edgy about this. I have no idea if I'm even going to get a ticket, so I kinda refuse to tie myself in knots over it. This is a good time to let go of need or interest or outcome. You'll need that "no expectations" at the burn, no harm practicing it now. Good suggestion. I'm tryi...

It looks awesome! I have been so excited to see this - for months now!

Great job, you guys -- bravo!

Well, DUH!

TPBM is starting to let go of their attachment to their original departure plans because there's just too much to do before they can go.

Not the butterflies in the tummy, but the nail in the brain - headache is really inconvenient today.

TPBM hopes they don't get sick between now and the time they leave for TTITD.

True - I finished it an hour or so ago, and no it's not perfect, and yes I'm pleased!

TPBM wants to get some sleep but can't shut the mind off.

True! I'm positively floating with excitement!

TPBM is leaving for TTITD before next weekend

TRUE! I'm sitting down with some paintbrushes and an idea right now, and just know it won't come out the way I see it in my head. But I'ma do it anyway.

TPBM has a huge to-do list for this weekend, and knows they won't all get done.

What is "True"?

TPBM cannot grow a mustache.

I like that you put "anal bleaching" in a white font. well done.

Yes. Yes I do. I really love today. Also -- I really love, today.

TPBM found a piece of playawear they really really love, but can't bring it because of its unexpected moopiness.

Peaceful Human, you might like this book: Faking It , by William Ian Miller. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0521613701/ Thanks, Savannah, for the book recommendation! I checked out the amazon link, and I don't know if it was the font used for the title, or if it was the amount of skin shown on th...

I have this bad habit of averting eye-contact as if I'm doing something wrong by looking at someone when they notice. Me too, like I'm going to see someone in some way nakedly if I look in their eyes. This one I think just takes practice. I've gotten better about this over the years -- I used to av...

I'm infatuated with EVERYONE on this board. You all complete me.

TPBM thinks statements like "you complete me" indicate serious co-dependency issues and wonders why on earth they're considered romantic?

no, I don't evaluate apologies. but i am kinda wishing i heard the trojan horse joke.

TPBM ordered something for the burn and is worrying it will not arrive in time.

I'm looking forward to encountering Burners at the hotel before the event -- I suspect the energy and excitement will yield mirth and merriment of all kinds.

One can never have enough mirth.

So. Who's at the hotel on Sunday the 28th? We'll be arriving late Saturday night, the 27th, and staying two nights. Our plan (as it stands now and is subject to change) is to leave the hotel in the middle of the night Sunday (Monday) to hit the playa while it's still dark (for the thrill of seeing ...

Wow, this is my favorite ePlaya post of the week -- thanks Brody! Excellent stuff here!

You don't need to ask for a camp site, you can just show up at AV -- it will be at 6:00 and Funeral this year. You can get more info at www.burnanon.org, there is a mailing list you can sign up for and ask questions, or you can PM me if you like. Last year was my first burn and I stayed with AV - wi...

Eric and a few other people seemed to think it could be an epic journey out the gates and into Reno. But jojofroyo, if I read your post right, you said that last year you left 5:30 AM Monday and were in Reno by 9 AM. I'd have to be at the airport to drop off rental by 10:30 AM, so I"m thinking I'd ...

No, but I'm with you on the cheez its...

TPBM has not even started packing for the Burn

Oh so, so true. Whenever I find it, it's not my size.

TPBM has an unpleasant task ahead of them that they are wishing to avoid.

True - anything in moderation is fine.

TPBM doesn't like to be told to enjoy things in moderation.

I posted in the 2011 Tickets section that I received the wrong order from In Ticketing, and despite trying repeatedly to right the wrong, I am still in possession of two tickets that aren't mine, and never received the one ticket that I paid for. (the post is titled "can I give away a ticket?" if yo...

Terry and Lesley, glad to be of help. I have used the Sands for group trips in the past (like, oh, 20 times) and though they're funky and a bit "uncool", that's part of the allure in my opinion. Please come by and say hi. Would love to meet you. "Funky" and "uncool" is perfectly acceptable, especia...

Doc Pyro - THANK YOU for arranging this! We just booked Sat & Sun pre-burn at these great rates - so awesome of you to do this. We will look for you at the meet n greet to thank you in person!

See you in the dust
Terry & Lesley
