About 200, I'm bringing an extra book just in case.. LOL. I am bringing a lot of gifts.

I'm striving this year to collect the gift of people's wisdom. I'm bringing a diary, and for my gifts the exchange of some burning man wisdom is all I ask. Hoping to fill the whole thing up this year.

The first year I went Hexayert I bought all 13, 1" for ~$350. Thought it was expensive at the time, but the second year came around and I only had to replace 1 panels. The third year came and I only had to replace 3 panels (3 because my tie downs tore them up during exodus). If your only using the p...

I trick my cheap sewing machine when I'm sewing faux fur. I put a strip of paper below and above the fur, adding paper as I go. It keeps the fur from getting stuck in the boot. After my sew is finished I rip the paper off. Just make sure you use a thin paper like tracing paper or you will rip out yo...

:!: Been working out every day for the past 3 months. Run, Bike, and Bike! :!: Lower my coffee consumption so the coffee i drink on the playa actually works :!: Tame that body hair! :!: Practice safe sex and sex related things in general, with myself and others. Like humping, bumping and my awesome ...

Might be off topic, but what size RU all building? So, I guess I'm still dubious on 8' walls--but who knows, next year we might add a third room with 8' walls--or figure out how to put a second story on the thing!!! Oh the possibilities. A second story! LOL now that would be prone to wind damage. T...

I have a costume question... I'm a guy that wants to wear a sheet wrapped around my waste, how can i make it not look like a dress skirt? any suggestions... What do you want it to look like? I guess i'm crossed between what looks more masculine. A shorter cloth wrap or a longer cloth wrap. I was to...

A Bota Bag/ Water Bladder is the best! It's easy to carry and you can always decorate them with extra leather or cloth. They can easily become apart of a costume. The leather ones keep you liquid cooler than any plastic bottle. I use to work for a guy that made them from scratch. It's extremely easy...

I'm going for a 8' tall. 12 sheets of 8'x4'

I'm doing the dry ice thing this year. I have done it before when i go camping. If you leave the block alone and not chip it, it will last a lot longer. 2-3 lb block, 3 day camping trip and the block is still good! I don't know about a week though... Hmm.... 5lb block i'm guessing. Lose a Pound a da...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/steven8says/progress.jpg In studying the Eskimo dress throughout the centuries it has come to my attention that now the "Eskimo" dress is comprised of nothing more than a pink fluffy hat and some type of swim wear. So in wearing a Spirit Hood, this would still...

I'm glad you finally introduced yourself

I still think you should just go as an Eskimo for laughs! With all those coats on I can roll you around and I'm sure i could get people to play some type of 4 square with you.

So the single Gallon idea is a bad one. Looks like the 2.5 "suitcase" is the best idea so far, it probably stacks better than the single gallons. Does anyone have a pix to compare to KMAN'S? Cuz that's what i was thinking the inside of my car might look like... LOL.

I was wondering how most people store their water at Burning Man. I know there are tons of ways to store water, but on the Playa what’s the most efficient way?

I'm thinking that Monday Morning around 9 will be a good time to wait in line and begin the baking in the sun.

[quote="Dr. Pyro"]thk127, as to what to bring: When in doubt, absinthe. Followed by ice, champagne, and a morally casual attitude.[/quote]

Absinthe it is! :D

I'll be there for sure! See you all then! Hmm... what to bring?

I was thinking of making a ton of Hemp bracelets, anklets and necklaces. I’m sure it’s already been done before, but they never seem to go out of style!
Also I’m trying to make up 2 “Pass it along Journalsâ€

It seems that Burning Man is just the right prescription... :D

Awesome Video! Will you be performing at Burning Man this year?

Is time necessary on the Playa? I was thinking of getting lost in time...

One of my friends did a Hexayert last year with a swamp cooler and said it was awesome! I’m doing the same this year!

That's what I thought... Hmm.. I'll just copy everyone else i guess and follow the experienced ones. And those Dust Devils look fun! My friend tells me you cant out run them...

I'm building a Hexayert for the first time too. Which was should i position the door? Or better yet, which way does the wind blow on the playa?

HELP! Ever since I bought my ticket for Burning Man 2010 I can’t stop collecting items for it. I’m constantly buying new survival items, and art material. Creating weird contraptions or seeing potential in other people’s garbage… as art material. My friends think I’m going too over the top...

I would have to think that they used some type of Food Dye. That shit never comes off!

Thanks for the help! I'll get some Kryolan Aqua Color.
I'm doing a full face paint and others are doing full body.

I'm trying to find a good body paint that won't sweat off, and create a moop trail throughout the Playa. I found out that there are 4 different kinds: Henna Water-Based Liquid Latex Oil-Based I’m thinking that the Water and oil based paint will just sweat off. I have used liquid latex body paint b...

My boyfriend and I (21 and 23) are going to BM for the first time too. We were looking into staying at a themed gay camp, but being first timers we don’t know what to expect. We aren’t into the whole “Gay Cultureâ€

thk127... I'm glad you're excited. The planning is so much fun, isn't it? We're taking three birgins this year and it's actually putting some spring back in our camp's step. I like you new people with all your excitement and stuff. Planning is fun! And my pile is getting larger by the day! I'm pack...
