Re: Petition to Remove Maid Marian as CEO

Well considering that since I posted this thread, the petition has failed to garner even another 100 signatures, I don't think her job security is under much threat from this.. And technically CEO's do get elected, but usually by the Board of Directors and not some rabble rousers from The Internet. ...

Re: Petition to Remove Maid Marian as CEO

Personally I have resigned myself to accepting that the people in charge of literally everything are completely detached from the reality that we plebeians inhabit.

Petition to Remove Maid Marian as CEO

323 signatures so far...

With the recent Kimbal Musk scandal and reportedly dipping into the fireworks budget to pay for persona travel, the "well compensated" and hobnobbing CEO of Burning Man Inc. is facing a decline in popularity.

Re: Art car, Mutant Vehicle, and RV transport

Is it a transport service like the guy owns his truck and finds freight through brokers, or is it a transport service like he owns a fleet and equipment? If it’s an owner op, an individual might want to see about contracting with one of the already approved OSS logistics vendors for the burn season....

Presidential immunity unfortunately will not shield Biden from his soon to be legacy of being the second person in history to put Donald Trump in the White House.

Re: Tarps - treated VS untrteated; 10; 12 or 16 oz?

Tarps are generally regarded as poor material for shade unless used in a format that is playa proven such as the Black Rock Hardware style flat top EMT conduit structure. Even then, you are almost always better off using shade cloth or aluminet. Both shade cloth and aluminet can be purchased online,...
