The Hof looks great yg! Quite an achievement! I especially like the 'fractured' granite designs on the side door panels. But really, the whole thing blows my mind! I've said it before somewhere, but I'll say it again; it amazes me how you have the capability to be able to build such a thing! But the...

Thanks for the link to The Atlantic election article Canoe. Let hope it doesn't get that far out of hand, but it certainly could. I easily see the possibility of a 'red mirage' happening Nov 3, and subsequently a lot of previously sewn mistrust taking hold as blue mail-in ballots turn the results in...

I believe that may be the name that Elliot sometimes uses for his "old time radio" personna here. A rare and fun treat! I had seen where he had recently popped in elsewhere on eplaya, so... here's to hoping for another installment at some point if he's so inclined. Meanwhile, the weather is making a...

. Just finished Built to Burn by Tony 'Coyote' Perez. https://i.ibb.co/hZw6YPC/51j-DZsnc-ZJL.jpg It's a fun read, starting out by covering his first trip to Burning Man in 1996, where Will Roger put him to work building the city prior to the event. Ahhh, 1996... for many of us here on eplaya, enoug...

Always good to see you ygmir!

It just dawned on me, that my last post had a bit of a political overtone and we don't go there in the 'bar'.

My apologies.

*pours drinks for all*

Dang, I had forgotten about Risky! And Bay Bridge Sue! ...and so many other fun and talented people that have wandered through over the years. https://youtu.be/maOtX4tXyb4 hmm... those 'Leningrad' hairstyles seems vaguely familiar https://i.ibb.co/VvN1CBC/trump12-1646d5a063e120563d971efd3ab5c967ac3a...

Yeah, that idea of creating a parking lot along the outer ring on the north side of the city lasted all of one burn... It is best to park in your own camp, or in this case, on the outer side of the outermost street alongside where you plan to venture out into walk-in camping. There is a rope fence t...

Turns out Burning Man is really great if you get rid of most of it.

Yeowwzer! Now THAT is a CG sig line!!

Yep, I noticed that by mid-week cars were double parked in some areas, in effect blocking the first layer of cars in. I imagine if you really needed to leave early though, you could work it out. Regarding ebikes, I believe that there is a limit on the motor, a certain maximum of watts if I recall co...

@UD... I guess I'm more referring to Burning Man itself, but thanks for the reply. By the way, I miss reading your clever one-line retorts around here. ...but yes, I guess the outright burning ban for the entire state that Lucky spoke of is what got me to wondering how the event might have been affe...

The question occurred to me the other day, so I'll ask it here. First though, my thoughts go out to all of you dealing with the devastating wildfires out west. My question... with the strict fire ban currently in place on the playa and elsewhere, if this had been a regular burning man year, would bu...

Any mention of rain in the forecast Canoe?

Thanks for the live report direct from the playa Captain. Glad to hear it is indeed turning out to resemble the Burning Man from days afore.

I read that Tom Seaver passed away earlier this week. I don't keep up with current baseball teams much, but back when I was a kid, I was all over it. It's funny, I can still name a good portion of the starting lineups from long ago, but would be hard-pressed to name more than just a few of the curre...

I ran across this live stream from the playa. And here I thought I'd make it through the week without FOMO. Ha!

Out: Dust

In: Smoke

Are they having any luck getting the wildfire tamped down ygmir? It sounds like you guys out west are getting some severe weather conditions, and quite a number of fires caused by lightning. Glad you have your 'bugout' bag and supplies at the ready. Hmm, why am I not surprised by that, haha! Like ma...

WooHoo! Glad to hear Rat Lady!

I hope you recover your truck Rat Lady. What city/town was it in when you last saw it?

Glad to hear everything went well ^Rhino!

*shakes fist at those dang phonics*

I finally set aside few minutes to give this interview the full read-through that it deserves. Thanks for asking the questions that seem to be on a lot of burner's minds these days DrYes. And kudos for maintaining and sharing a direct line of communication with BMP. Your work is appreciated, as well...

Savannah, I'm sorry to hear about your friend. It sounds like she was a great person, and brought a lot of joy to your life

Sure thing Lucky! ...and yes GW, it does seem odd that a lot of radials and intersections fared poorly. I don't see the same kind of thing in previous years. For example, 2019 vs. 2018... 2019 https://bm-phoenix.s3.amazonaws.com/large-media/MOOP_Map_2019_11x17.jpg 2018 https://bm-phoenix.s3.amazonaw...

Yep, Crumb the movie was a bit of a strange ride, a little unsettling at times, but fascinating to watch. I do seem to recall the portion you mention DoctorIknow, where he talks about telephone poles and wires that exist right there in front of everyone in plain sight, so he put them in his art. Tha...
