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!

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.

Yep, the event takes the laser thing seriously, especially after a Ranger had her eyesight permanently damaged by some asshat with a laser on playa. Good on ya for asking polyhedon.

I think that's a pretty solid rundown you have there already dj_shuze. I personally don't have the lower section kickplate below my door, and the 'seal' between the door and the floor tarp remains relatively tight all week, and structurally sound as well. However, mine is the smaller H5 which I main...

Have you been able to change your password yet? I haven't been able to log in to make a change; did you go the 'forgot my password' route instead? I did read one article which suggested that no credit card info was breached.

Nice story there kremlin-pancake. I'm usually a member of the school of thought that it is unwise to make any major life altering decisions immediately after attending the burn, but it sounds like things are working out well for you! Glad to hear it! I hadn't heard of doofs, thanks for sharing a bit...

If by chance it turns out that you can't find appropriate foam that meets all your needs, then I'm inclined to think that you may want to consider not worrying about airflow in those spots, and use a more rigid foam. Then for airflow, cut some rectangular window outlets in your plywood, and build so...

I assume you have been granted a WAP. Also, it seems to me that you need to rethink your departure time to insure you'll be where you need to be at midnight. I know I wouldn't attempt to cut it that close if ESD were depending on me. Good on ya for volunteering jbyman. I don't know how many shifts y...

I've never done STEP, but I'm under the impression that folks receive a confirmation email once they're in. Is that right? If that's the case and you never got one but your profile says your in, then I'm guessing you are in, but the email communication channel (email address?) is messed up somehow. ...

Tatonka, have you double checked your spam and junk mail folders? Sorry if that is obvious, but I figured I'd ask anyway, seeing as I'm really hoping you find a ticket. If you're sure nothing is in there, then I would suggest contacting them to insure you will be able to receive that all-important t...

Congratulations Ratty! I can understand how retirement comes with mixed emotions. That said, I'm guessing it won't be long before you find your days overflowing with fun and productive activities, and you'll wonder how you ever found time to go to work. I'm happy for you!

Hi Ratty, are you talking about the BIG "get out of there?" I know you've mentioned your upcoming retirement from time to time.

Urgh! indeed MotherMayhem. I have to say, I also would have thought that there would be enough VPs allotted to match the $1200 ticket sales going forward. I haven't really read much in general about this sale; does this $1200 related VP shortcoming happen every year? Anyhow, thanks for the insight M...

Hi Ratty! I'm over here wandering around the Bluegrass, contemplating muddy tracks and fast horses.

Rainy here today.

If I may follow up on Asr's great suggestions, what I think is meant is simply setting the upright canopy leg up against the rebar and duct taping them together, side by side. That's what I do with my shelter, along with rachet straps etc. to actually hold the whole thing down. I learned a nice litt...

Welcome to eplaya remimarcelle! Yep, a great place to start would be the Survival Guide and First Timers Guide. Once that sinks in, there are tons of additional sources of info both here and on the Burning Man website to help you begin to shape and build your burn plan. The prep becomes less like ho...
