Hi Lina222! Nice articulate introduction, I must say. Yep, keep on reading, and learning, and becoming more involved, and you'll be just fine out there. The very first time that you prepare for the burn, and make decisions related to it, can become an exciting and memorable aspect of the overall exp...

Clear skies and extra cold here...

Good luck with your new mutant vehicle Galaxo! And thanks for the big contributions to the burn. If you can find time, please keep us updated on your progress. Many of us here enjoy reading about a good build! Hope to see your new rig on the playa!

Did you bring any dog biscuits for us to munch on while we wait?

I'm not sure exactly what methodology they will use this year, but I feel confident saying that they will keep burners who are located overseas in mind as they put the finishing touches on this year's plan. Stay tuned, and be sure to subscribe to Jack Rabbit Speaks if you haven't already. https://ti...

Dammit Bill! I thought we had reached an understanding... anytime I start sketching Mutant Vehicle ideas, you were supposed to come over and snatch the pen out of my hand!

*pours Bushmills* Thanks GW... by the way, it was great to finally get to meet you, even if it was only briefly! *slides bottle down bar toward MDF* I still like the name FIGJAM's came up with for MDF some time ago.. Fluorescent Nightingale! I guess it just stuck in my mind as being kinda awesome. ....

D'oh!.. way to go von braun, responding to a post from over a year ago.. haha! Oh well, hope the OP had a good burn and left with his camera gear still in reasonably good shape.

Hi moteofdust! Welcome to eplaya. You might want to consider researching the Black Rock Observatory! In addition to being the Desert Wizards of Mars, they are a group of serious astronomers who bring an observation dome (assembled without fasteners, just clever custom fabricated panels that fit toge...

This, from the BMorg, refutes the reckless Reno Gazette Journal article as well.

No worries JeffBdn, you haven't missed any ticket announcements. I'm glad you're excited. Harness that energy to begin to plan how you will be totally self sufficient the entire week you are in the desert as well as how you'll contribute, and you'll be well on your way to a worthwhile experience. Go...

At the risk of running whoever's left, out of the bar..

Thanks yg. A slight correction: the debris that we are passing through now was shed from an asteroid, not a comet. However, some of the other meteor showers throughout the year involve debris shed from comets. Overall, the effects are about the same. I'm not sure how they try to determine if it is g...

Yep, the way I understand it, as a general rule, you'll see more meteors as the night goes on. It has to do with the earth's rotation bringing your particular position around so that you are facing the leftover comet dust and debris field head on. Because of the natural orientation of the earth and ...

:coffee: Good morning all! I hardly ever look at the spam that rolls through here, but I couldn't help but notice the weight loss solution that suggested that I should "accost my wideness" Now if I only knew what "Grant flavor in your plank" means, but I think I'm probably better off not knowing. Al...

Yeah, now that you mention it Canoe, I recall you noting the blank space technique in one of your posts some time back. Seems like a thoughtful thing to do for those who have been deeply impacted by the tragedy.

I wasn't able to see your video link Canoe, but I'm guessing this is the video source you're referencing

EDIT: I went back and put a space in my link here, so it no longer automatically comes up, much as Canoe has been doing.

(((AntiM)))

Glad you're having a go at it spacetime! I recall a particularly fine and thorough write up that you posted here on eplaya regarding the logistics/experience of traveling on the Burner Express bus several years ago. It was a good read. Likewise, I hope we get to read more about the 'ins and outs' of...

Bounce, with the big Burning Man tattoo on his arm, right? He stopped by the eplaya M&G this year, and we talked a bit. Sorry the news isn't good. Do you know any further info? They have reported on the news recently that the entire town of Paradise has been destroyed.

Hi Marty, good to see you stopping by the bar! I'm glad to hear that you're remaining active, though like most of us who are beginning to advance in years to one degree or another, we have to gradually set aside things we were once easily able to do in our more youthful days. Stings a bit, but a goo...

Thanks for being you ZeugmaMethod!

G'Day SquirrelScotch! There are quite a few folks who come over from Australia every year. Keep poking around and I'm sure you'll meet a few. Meanwhile, welcome to eplaya!

BVB nails it....again....

This is the kind of thing where that pesky zero numbering sometimes trips me up, and I end up having to cipher it out on a scrap of paper... ...but I think yggy may only be 60 0 through year 9 = decade 1 10 through year 19 = decade 2 20 through year 29 = decade 3 30 through year 39 = decade 4 40 thr...

Happy Birthday ygmir!

Looking forward to next time ygmir!
