That's a pretty darn good idea you've got there goodleaf! Thanks for sharing.

Far out tatonka!

...I'm logging out and not logging back in. That's nice. Burning Man really isn't everyone's cup of tea. It seems to me that it is much better for everyone that you realized this sooner, rather than investing a ton of time and money, and using up a ticket, only to figure it out later. I'm sure you'...

Sorry I won't be joining you for one of those delicious hummingbird tacos this year Professor, but I'll wave and kick up a bit of dust on the playa for ya!

Yep

I recall this question came up here on eplaya two or three years ago, and back then at least, it was confirmed that there was a temporary closing of the gate for a couple of hours just before the main event opening in order to reset computers, shift change, whatever. Not sure if any of this is still...

You'll get a good laugh at the thought of bringing your small-wheeled scooter once you get out there and get a sense of what the surface is actually like. It is sort of hard to imagine until you experience it firsthand. Definitely bring the bike though. Have fun InGearX!

AntiM, I'm so sorry to hear the news, I had no idea MyLarry had taken ill. My thoughts are with you both as you battle this.

For what it's worth, what I think you are looking for is a 'Main Sale' ticket, which costs $425. The Presale tickets are the $990 and $1200 versions. Just mentioning it so you don't inadvertently confuse someone right when you're in the middle of trying to make a deal.

Great to see you stopping in for a visit Marty! Glad to hear you're well, and excited about participating in Camp Envy. In my 'off' years I've certainly appreciated and enjoyed the online stream. I've found that it does kind of make you homesick though. Then again, on the up side, no cleaning and st...

I believe the button comes and goes...

This is the impression I have as well, though I am merely basing that on various unofficial posts I've read the last few months. I haven't had the need to try it myself, fortunately. I suggest keeping an active eye on it BBD. Good luck sir!

For a moment there, I almost thought I heard the faint sound of laughing coming from deep in the forest...

wasn't seeing the image (on my machine anyway) so I relinked it.

..and Yay for LIVE music instead of DJs!

Be sure you read and understand the Survival Guide and First Timers Guide before you do anything else.

Good luck

Yep, the butterflies are starting to come home to roost here too. Currently tuning and prepping the truck for the long drive out. Pulled the majority of my bins and boxes down off the big, dedicated Burning Man shelves the other day. Shelter shakedown is next, though I'm hoping to keep that as is un...

PM sent..

If you have a physical ticket in hand and arrive in a car (truck, RV, etc) you won't need any ID to enter Black Rock City.

As GW said though, the bars will check your ID before they give you a drink.

The more I think about your idea ShaneB, the more I like it! A kind of Salon des Refusés for burner robots, with a hint of Cargo Cult and cacophony thrown in for good measure.

Hopped on the bike for a quick little ride yesterday; it's time to begin rebuilding endurance.

Hi nilasnake! Good to see you back here on eplaya. Hope all is well. Any chance that the Sideshow going to be making another grand appearance on the playa this year? ..and argh, yes it seems that there will be no Hof gathering this year.. https://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=86273 Unfo...

Awesome post!!!
Everyone should read.

Yep, thanks for the detailed info SSE, I've never felt like I had a real solid handle on the whole electrolyte thing, and this is a great primer.

Hi robin_goblin, you've been to the burn several times so I imagine you've thought this through, but I'm kind of wondering what your MOOP plan is.

I'm hoping to stop by this year and finally get to visit you guys and the Destiny Lounge! And wow!!.. congrats on the placement.

yay for tickets, indeed! I'll be watching from my recliner this year, but happy for those going! Argh!! Sorry to hear that you won't be there this year yggy. I was looking forward to catching up with you on playa. I understand though, how it can be that a burner needs to take a break for any number...

I assume by 'in person' you mean a paper ticket. The physical paper ticket in hand is all you need to pass through gate, other than a Vehicle Pass. It doesn't matter at that point who purchased it originally. Do you know the seller? Be aware that tickets can become voided by the BMorg and become no ...

Woohoo! Got an email from Fulfillment.. ticket has been shipped!

*pours drinks*

I have to admit, I never use that feature either, but sure do appreciate all of the effort that goes into building and maintaining eplaya overall.
