*pokes head out from under NEB*

Happy 40th Burning Man Anniversary to all of our burner friends near and far. It seems that there are a lot of empty chairs around, and dusty glasses sitting on the Bar at this point, but the fond memories linger on! Cheers to all of you!

. As Sham mentioned, this would be a good year for new people to attend. It appears that the $675 tickets are still available! I can see why the BMP can't just leave the sale open indefinitely. Probably some overhead expenses involved, plus a sale event itself generates some excitement I think. Sha...

It appears that there are still $675 tickets available, over twenty-four hours after the main sale opened.

This is likely an off year for me personally (usually I skip alternate years), but I do like to keep an eye on the ticket demand and status.

As a precaution, I want to have access to information about gate/highway closures in case they recommend not driving up 447 until later. I recall that this has happened in the past (I wasn't affected) due to severe whiteout, rain, I think one year there was concern about a brush fire near the road, ...

Just a reminder that there is a thread here for that!

Nice photograph yg! ...and yes, for me anyhow, the road trip is part of the fun! Building up momentum and excitement on the way out, and especially on the way back when I have a little more time to visit some interesting places/parks along the way. It helps with the decompression too I think. Patsh,...

Hey gang! Good to see you guys! It looks like most of us are getting some pretty hot weather these days! We have us one of those fancy heat domes over here in these parts too. Doesn't really cool down a lot at night at the moment. I recall talking with a certain eplayan, (the one who likes those Bri...

Hi Wigwam! Good to see you! Best I've heard regarding the Tomorrow 'Main Sale' is that it will occur toward the end of April. They do seem to like holding the sale on Wednesdays at noon PT, with the registration window open for a couple of days near the end of the preceeding week. That said, you nev...

I believe some songs transcend time and space, and speak directly to the soul.

Tom Robbins had somehow flown under my radar all this time, so I went by the library and checked out a couple of his books. I'm already delighted by his ability to 'turn a phrase.' Thanks guys, for bringing him to my attention!

RIP Tom Robbins

Thanks for the UPDATE
Glad to hear it!!!

*blows dust off of empty glass and pours bourbon*

It's always good to see some of the old-timers stopping into The Bar!

I found the thread linked below from a few years back that Meat Hunter posted when he retired from the Big Burn. If someone is still in touch with Ratty, perhaps she may know something more definitive. https://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic.php?f=470&t=85824 ___________ ___________ RIP Meat Hunter ...

Wow Elorrum! Next time I get covid I'm definitely gonna invite you over! Haha!

Seriously though, I hope it's a mild case yg, and you're feeling better soon!

Hi there Yg, Elorrum, Patsh and other bar people curled up in the NEB. Things are going pretty well here, though we did see a lot of rain and a few hours of fairly high winds. Nothing like what people experienced further south though. And apparently western NC has been hit really hard with devastati...

Always fun to have a map by your side when you wander down the gigapan Rabbit Hole

You might consider mentioning to him that if he's interested, he may want/need to look into becoming an OSS Outside Service Provider.

Hmm, I think you may have a good point there SunrayU75. They seem to be fun guys, but I'm guessing their monetized video is a hard no.

Patsh, I'm really sorry to hear that everything went sideways for you at the burn this year. It's not an easy challenge to begin with, but when your body becomes contrary at the same time, it sure does take all of the fun right out of it. As FIG already said, the most important thing is that you mad...
