A Playa Home Companion?

I would totally listen to a Playa Home Companion! I think you all just came up with a new radio show for the station!!

Thanks people! We have registered and eagerly await our tickets!

it's tuesday of the 2nd week of registration and the site seems to be down. is anyone else having trouble getting to the site?

While there is a psychological effect which makes you swear other lines are all going faster than you, these stats are pretty extreme. My own measurements showed that the lanes we were in were moving about the same speed (lanes 1 to 6) but I did get the impression that the right most lane (8) was m...

I'm glad exodus worked for some people, but for us it was a nightmare. we got in line at 12:30p and expected our 5-7 hour wait. we live in Sacramento so we thought we'd get home around 11p or so to relive the grandparents of watching our kids. around 8pm with no pavement in sight we asked the car ne...

Last year we left during the temple burn. it was brutal. at least 2 hours until we hit the pavement. but, we were exhausted from packing up camp all day and I had to pull over 2 times for a little snooze (i was the only driver). not the safest idea, but better than driving and falling asleep. this y...

personally, I love the disconnecting from the default world. It takes me about 2 days out there to realize that the thing missing while i'm sitting down is my laptop, the noises I hear in the background are NOT my email, text notification, or my cell phone ringing. That said, this is the first year ...

The problem is the stroke is too small and the guy was taller. He tried a bike at a shop to test it too see if it can work but it was too uncomfortable for him to ride. so this bike will work well for.someone shorter.

i have a bike i am willing to gift if you are interested. i posted a topic about it around here somewhere....

are you coming through Sacramento?

Disregard previous post. bike will not work for him. it has been discovered that the tires are a mere 24". so bike is still available.

this bike is taken!

ok, here's a photo. i hope it's big enough.

i have a bike that i used last year that i'm willing to give to anyone that wants it pre-playa. it needs new brake pads but the frame is sturdy. the chain is a bit rusted, but i oiled it and it seems to be moving pretty well. it's a beater that just needs a little TLC. There's duct tape all over it,...

This reminds me of when I was travelling with a friend of mine a few years back. We had just arrived in Edinburgh and needed to head east from the train station. She asked which way to go, and I said "well the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the sun is setting over there, so let's go th...

the airport does have it's own gate (interceptors) and greeters (customs agents) and will-call (box officer).

i'm doing a few shifts there this year! i'm excited.

also, i find it odd that Kimber had this amazing idea. i mean, it's a cool idea, but i swear i've seen this done somewhere before. http://tinyurl.com/3h8ncdp and one more thing. does it bug anyone else just a little that in the midst of this art party, where spontaneity is key, she wants to set up a...

i'm so glad i wasn't the only one who read the JRS and went "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" i find it strange that the photographer/original poster hasn't replied to this post yet. while *possibly* a wonderful photographer she(?) sure seems like a virgin to me. or maybe this is just a prank. maybe people will m...

I've posted a little here are there, but mostly lurking... I'm Andromeda. I'm sure there are 10 more people going by that name out on the playa, and that's cool. maybe we should meet up and drink 42 shots of something! 2011 will be my third burn but my first for my husband. I went in 2002 and then a...

IMHO, taking a big grill is a waste of space if it is just the 2 of you. The size of the grill should reflect the number of people you need to feed. I just picked up a small propane grill at a garage sale for 5$. Even new they are only around $20. I've used both propane and charcoal on the playa. I...

Grilling is not barbecueing.

Heretic!

HAHA! yeah, i got schooled by my son on that! he was 3 at the time.

my husband is coming to the playa with me this year for his first time. (i've been 2x's before) the thing is, he wants to GRILL on the playa. he's a big ol' meat eater and can't fathom going a week without charring some meat. (i'm a vegetarian and will likely survive just fine on PB&J, fruit, and C...
