Does anyone have any tips on how to remove the parking pass from the inside of one's windshield? It is seriously glued on there. My windshield is brand new and I would rather not scratch it with abrasive materials. Thanks.

As perverse as it may sound, I really do hope we have a massive dust storm this year. I freakin' LOVE the sound, ambiance, natural drama and mystery of a major white out. Also, they're very socially leveling: nothing puts different types/ranks/categories of people all on the same level as a powerful...

I have this recurrent nightmare where I arrive on the playa, look in the trunk of my car and, to my horror, instead of my usual Sparkle Pony essentials (makeup, glitter, blinky cowboy hat, orange feather boa, E, mylar hot pants, bead necklaces and gold cowboy boots) I find instead a lot of crap like...

I've been hearing a lot of people recently talking about how Birmingham sucks. I don't get it. It's not such a bad place. They have nice buildings there. Some restaurants. I like their railroads. It has been nicknamed, "The Magic City." You like magic don't you? Everybody does. I think of Birmingham...

. . . I was not planning to go this year for "family reasons" and my resolve cracked some time on Thursday afternoon after several days of live-stream on my monitor at work and a flurry of tickets wanted/available notices on a mailing list. I *barely* managed to get hold of a ticket on Thursday nig...

alright so who brought the playa goose?! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8034/7940341604_ed4dc1baec_z.jpg it flew down on my camp panting and quickly disappeared after people chased it with cameras and water. weirdness! That's not a goose. It's one of Yaqui, "Man of Knowledge", Don Juan's newer appre...

Wow. A heartfelt THANK YOU to you all for your feedback. It is very much appreciated!

I'm a bit embarrassed that I could have been so uninformed, but there have been times when I have run my windshield wipers while I was inside my car during a dust storm on The Playa. Bad move. Now my windshield is scratched. :cry: The scratched area is in the shape of the sweep of my wiper blades. Y...

Hi. Are you shy? Do you have a hard time walking into a roomful of complete strangers and striking up a conversation? Does the idea of walking out of your tent in a crazy outfit strike terror into your heart? Cool, ok, you can work with that. . . . HUGS! Hey Brody, this is one of the BEST things I'...

That's hot. Can I watch?

My theme camp, Camp Stella, will personally deliver this magical Playa Bike to one lucky Burner – on the playa: http://stella.storenvy.com/collections/27679-buy-a-ticket-to-ride-of-passage Celebrated San Francisco artist Ube Urban was commissioned to paint this deluxe comfort cruiser.

Here is a critique of dubstep with which I cannot argue.

I think that the Bliss Dance sculpture was quite the tour de force of exacting engineering and aesthetic beauty. It really was quite awesome and such a treat. I would LOVE it if the artist would someday grace the playa with an equally impressive and lovingly rendered sculpture of a naked man.

You must have some SERIOUSLY interesting electronic farts!

LOL!

They should change the name to "Fartstep." The bass line sounds like butt song. It's flatulence music.

. . . I don't know, the whole idea of a group of people "theoretically" cooking their food on playa, does sound like a recipe for food poisoning. Especially if they were "theoretically" keeping their meat cold, too. I can't tell you how many times I've heard of people getting the runs while at Burn...

The point of this is let everyone know that if you believe you are right, stand up and say so. If you allow law enforcement to abuse your civil rights, you will only get what you deserve. Perhaps someday the Federal Judges in Reno will get tired of BS cases in front of them and say something to the...

. . . Be aware, be smart, and protect yourself. That said, LE is NOT allowed to violate people's civil rights in the performance of their duties, and there have (in the past) been such incidents. . . . Excellent point Playaquest.

More importantly, most of the fallout from those nuclear tests blew west and northwest from the Nevada Test Site. This map showing the results of a National Cancer Institute study of radioactive fallout strongly suggests that Black Rock City is nowhere near as irradiated as are the Great Plains and...

A quality rejoinder if there ever was one.

When I was reading about the nuclear tests being conducted in the Nevada desert in the 40's and 50's, about 2 years ago, i suddenly thought, what about all he dust one gets into his/her lungs during the week at Burning Man? . . . :shock: A good question and a reasonable concern Evaphoto.

My first thought was "drama llama" but. I dont know about this. oh and yes, i read the whole thing. You know the guy for 10 years, you know he has the hots for you.......... Sounds kinda shady to me. You also think he's hot, and decide maybe you're kinda into him, then you both get shitfaced and li...

338 miles, much of it quite lovely.

I heard a very serious rumor this year that 2012 will be the last burn. Reasons: Too big, & it's deteriorating into something not what the founders wanted. Sadly given the way it's going....I hope it comes to an end. It's becoming a big "scene" rather than sincere. 2012 would be a poetic way to qui...

This has always been something I've been interested in - ever since I was a kid. To this day I still take something with a nice smell, a lotion, perfume, something along that line. For me I've discovered that if I use that one smell on a special trip - when I come home and use it, it instantly trig...
