Hey everyone! The Darwin Fish Tank will be at 4:30 and Foxglove, on the portal I believe. Come on by for our Foxy Welcome Home Party on Monday night! Then we have happy hours with fantastic DJs, Fault Line Brewery beer and rosemary/lemon fizzes! Just look for the giant aluminet fish, Sperm Whale art...

I highly recommend running one first - you really get a feel for the dynamics of the game. There's one in LA on 7/23, I'd go if my wife and friends weren't all busy that weekend.

This is somewhat relevant, but my members of the Darwin Fish Tank are putting on a Journey to the End of the Night in Mountain View this Friday! 7:30pm until the end is reached. It's free, and you need to just show up with some comfortable sneakers to play. Details are here: http://journeytotheendof...

Hey everyone, We're organizing a Journey to the End of the Night this Friday, at 7:30pm. Details are here: http://journeytotheendofthenight.com. The city spreads out before you. Rushing from point to point, lit by the slow strobe of fluorescent buses and dark streets. Stumbling into situations for a...

I completely understand that there was a lot of time to apply, it's just that this one date got missed by our entire camp and board of directors (including myself). We had our theme camp application in two months ahead of time. We were distracted by infrastructure planning and construction and misse...

We are pretty super organized with task leads, schedules, google docs, the budget, etc, we just didn't know when the deadline was and assumed it was late July. And we all know what happens when you make assumptions...

AHHHHH! My camp has an art car (from last year), and we realized over the weekend that we just missed the deadline - we thought it was the end of July, not the end of June. Do we have any recourse? Or are we doomed to roam the playa on foot without the Janky Fish. Any help would be much appreciated,...

I imagine this piece of news might pop up in a Jack Rabbit Speaks email newsletter, or in the 2011 Survival Guide when it's available. The 2010 guide has nothing about Gerlach Propane (I just checked). Hmm . . . I actually wouldn't expect it to be in the JRS, to keep demand low and encourage self s...

I just called Gerlach Propane, and apparently they service a propane truck that is run by Burningman Inc., but besides that they only sell from their office (great prices too, only $3ish per gallon). Anyone know who at Burningman Inc. is the contact to find out more?

I'm the fuels and firemaster of the Darwin Fish Tank, and last year I heard that there were propane refills available on-playa. Does anyone know if this is happening in 2011, and who I can contact for more information? We'd rather not increase our propane storage capacity if we can avoid it, and we ...

Hell yes! Have a great BBQ, btw, but we won't be able to make it up. We're scrambling to prepare down here in Darwin Fish Tank country (we're adding an observation deck to our tower). Let us know where you are this year! We'll definitely be stopping by for some libations and relaxation, those mornin...

Hells yes! Thanks guys for jumping right on this! I'll get in touch with you tonight or tomorrow about scheduling.

(btw, I am both baybrewer and hammer...I accidentally logged in as baybrewer last night - I blame the sake.)

I've read both what dragonfly Jafe just wrote, as well as this: http://www.burningman.com/installations/fire_themecamps.html so... since I'm an optimist, I think what I'm doing *is* allowed, as long as the rules are followed and safety is generally maintained. Tiki torches in a playa environment are...

Tell us where it will be, we'll all throw imaginary rice. Damn moop. Take playa, mix with water in the morning, let get cakey in the sun, break into tiny rice-sized chunks... Voila, MOOP-safe rice. Congrats! One of the guys in my camp, while at BM last year (first time, and first I'd met him) reali...

Nice flames! I can see why you can't fire that in the tent city :-). I hope ours will be allowed, it's really high enough (15+ feet) that it won't be a fire hazard to anyone except for flying insects and birds, and the flames go straight up into the sky. Also... it doesn't move ;-) (that will be nex...

FWIW our fire cannon (Barbie Death Camp & Wine Bistro) was prohibited from being set off within "the tent city". We had to move it by truck to the open playa. You might want to contact those in charge of flame FX and make sure you are not doing something that will be nixed. Frankly, after the Range...

So this year my theme camp has decided to fund, design, and built a metal tower (secure scaffolding) with a "burst" flame effect as well as some constant-on, more artistic and less fwoompy flames. We plan to use it nightly just after dusk, and as the lead I'm following all safety regulations, cleara...

Were you guys with Camp Secret Hideout last year by chance? Nope, I don't know who they are. We weren't really associated with any other camps, although we did have some friends in the Rave'Ns Nest and Martini Village. Hey Cool, then you will be Terminal city's backdoor neighbor....welcome to the n...

Hey all, I woke up more excited about BRC than usual... sooo, I just wanted to say hello and thank everyone who did for stopping in to the Darwin Fish Tank and the giant aluminet Mister Fish at 4:30 and DNA last year! 2009 was our genesis as a theme camp, and we all had a fantastic time serving marg...
