I like pitching events so I second the call for coming to Cirque De Mar. It would be super duper happy great if we could have at least one boat/ship type art car at the event... I think there is at least one in Tahoe. IF you are the owner of such an art car and want to bring it, PM me. ALSO-- WE NEE...

Hello! I'm part of the crew who is working on The Pier, a large-scale art installation for Burning Man 2011. It's a 300-foot pier and we want it to be a place for burners to come hang out, perform, play, enjoy and interact with each other and the art. To that end, I'm working on obtaining some items...

Those mudskippers are hypnotizing.

Little Fundraiser?

No more like awesome! Stupendous! Mind blowing! Huge! Magnificent!

Well maybe not more than the underground could handle... that wouldn't be so fun.

Hey hey hey- Reno and those who would want to travel to Reno for a fun time... We're having a big fundraiser on May 21 at the Underground in Reno for the Pier. Cirque De Mar* An underwater circus party! There will be circus performers, carnival games, live music by El Radio Fantastique, and DJ sets ...

I love your idea! And I really really want to see this out there. I just posted the link to your website on my facebook, hopefully some of the 300 or so burner friends I have on there will take a peek and like it enough to donate. Please let us know when your kickstarter is up and running. Knowing m...

I read that as BABIES from Death Camp. So then I started thinking of dead babies... and throwing them off the pier... which is kind of sick and kind of funny if you have a sick sense of humor like I do.

Hey HEY HEY! We have a website. Check it out... Let us know if you want to volunteer and/or donate. And if you want to donate, you can do it right there, on the website. www.thepier2011.com ALSO-- Is there anybody in the San Francisco area who could possibly pick up and store some wooden planks for ...

AntiM just reminded me-- you know when you're walking along venice beach, there are always various artists sitting there painting? Oooh I hope the Pier inspires people to come out and paint or draw charicatures (sp) as well as all the performance stuff we're hoping for.

Yay for Obtanium!

Hmm.... Lost-- are you talking about the camp I was at? ;) Yeah, by Thursday the public port-a-potties were way better. I'm going to beg that we a)use a company that will clean the pots and b) put them closer to the street so the cleaning companies can come do that service. My van was fairly close t...

It was Monday, probably around noon. We had left Reno Sunday night/Monday morning about 1am. This was after barely sleeping Saturday night due to excitement. It took us 7.5 hours to get to camp from Reno. While waiting in line I had munched on trail mix, cookies with m&ms in them and some dried frui...

Dude, did that link work? I thought with all the time I spend on the interwebs I could paste a link correctly. I want to play the fishing game. Type: Sparkle Sea Pony Best Lure: Furry boot covers, flavored lip gloss, pasties Cooking Methods: You'll need a good scrub brush to remove all the glitter, ...

But keept this thread going as well!

I'm so excited for this, both in helping it come to fruition and the possibilities on playa. It's going to be a great place to meet people, do some hippie fishing, have a first kiss, watch the sunset, sunrise, marriage proposals, deep talks, not-so-deep talks, megaphone snarking, picnics, resting sp...

Igor's notorious for mumbling peculiaraties at pretty girls.

Jellyfish, as one of Reno's most active lover of the gays (aka fag hag extraordinaire) i would love to participate in your next project!

Damn, you just described me. Big boobed, yup. Goth... well I prefer the term burner chick. Actually, yup, not goth. Less than 40% tattoos- I have 5 small, strategically placed ones. Getting 3 more in the next year. Hopefully one day I'll come into enough mad money to get my full back piece done... o...

Lament over facebook how much I miss the playa. Commisserate w/ all my campmates about how much we miss the playa. Try planning a camping trip w/ said campmates and realize all of our schedules are crazy and attempting to plan a camping trip before frost sets in is like herding cats. Attend a bday p...

I actually have a few. Tuesday- my best friend and I were in our tutus walking the city. We were exploring the back streets and we ran across a little older man pushing a cart that said love. I ran up singing "I LOVE love!" he stopped, he had all sorts of snacks in his cart. We chatted for a while, ...

Well, I heard rumors of this floating around Reno. I heard from 3 or 4 different people that there was a "rumor" that they were going to open gates at 6pm, but that they weren't going to post it on the websites, etc. and it was something that you would only know about if you heard it via word-of-mou...

I loved loved loved Ein Hammer. The beauty, the interaction, the performance. I stopped by almost every night to tease and play with the strudel girls. Even though I personally didn't work on the project, I saw it grow and heard stories about it all summer long from so many friends who did work on i...

As many others have concurred, our crew loved the pulsing. We found it as a way to continue with the event. Plus it was a great way to unload all our leftover veggies and hummus and chips and popcorn and drinks. We came upon a group of people and asked if they wanted some veggies and hummus. They we...

I fell in love my virgin year. It was beautiful, magical, serindipitous, and sweet. 2 months after the burn, he quit his job and moved cross country so we could be together. After a few months of trying the relationship in the real world, we realized how different we are, and it wasn't working. He m...

oooh oooh oooh so excited. Plus it's in stumbling distance to my camp... and I'm a sucker for massage oils (and quite gullible under the influence of wine).

I'll be there Sat 3-6 and Sunday 9-12. I have a feeling I might be around longer...sometimes when I'm surrounded by beautiful, happy burners I have a hard time escaping into the cruel default world. Although, that weekend in Reno is sooo fun and charged with amazing energy. Even before I ever made i...

Eric- were you at Juplaya? I went to a party at Bootie.

From the looks of the inside of my tent- I had a fun night!

My 7 year old daughter (who hasn't been to BM) told me the other morning that she dreamt we were having Burning Man in our house. Hmm... maybe it's the mess of costumes in half-finished state taking over one half of the dining/family room or the stock of non-perishable food, drinks and water taking ...

Forgot to add-- my friend mentioned that he'd rather spend his money going to somewhere tropical, lie on a beach, and be served a drink by a sexy man while another sexy man rubs his shoulders. Well in true googbox fashion... if he DOES leave his negative attitude at home, I will make sure to find 2 ...

swampdog-- thank you for your advice. I think I'll do my best to let this one go gracefully. He ended his last email w/ he's not trying to ruin my experience. I replied that nothing he will say or do will ruin my experience, I'm going to have a great time, and I just hope he has a great time too bec...
