"Isnt that all about drugs, sex, and naked chicks?" "Why do you want to do that?". ... Why wouldn't you want to do that? Fair enough :D But do you want that to be the only thing that most people think about BM? When I first heard about BM I was reading about it as an art festival/community. That wa...

Right now I am stuck in the desert due to return somewhere around SeaComp. I just dont know my exact return date yet.

Uncheck those. I uncheck Disable Smilies as well

I dont see a problem with these girls expressing themselves the way they want to. The issue that has come up to me is that raves used to be all about the music. Now its come down to more of a dress as slutty as you can. At one point it was a novelty to see girls like this. As you read through the co...

Hey Roundtuit! I see that it does take a whole year to plan! So much to do! What to bring, what not to bring, bar or no bar, clothing, shelter, food, PPE, water...and the list goes on!! But it will be an awesome experience. You going solo? Joining a camp? I plan on going solo. From everything I hav...

Welcome! I have known about BM for several years and 2011 is going to be my first burn as well! I have already done quite a bit of planning and have a small group together to go. Preparing seems to be a year round project.

Great thread! Thanks for all the good theme camp info. I didnt even quite understand that you had to be vetted and accepted into a camp. After reading up on all the juicy details... and some of the other stuff... it seems to be a good idea to go solo my first year out. I have experience in carpentry...

After talking to a few friends up here I found one that is going to her first burn next year as well and she has an RV that we are going to use!

Transportation and roof over my head - Check
Everything else -

I found this recently. Temporarily out of stock but to me its an inexpensive and simple option.

You do indeed need to love the rain in the Northwest. In case Fishy was cryptic, as a heavy equipment operator, you'd be a great volunteer for DPW (Department of Public Works). Here's a link: http://www.burningman.com/participate/dpw.html haha thank you. I missed the burning man correlation there! ...

Heavy equipment operator, huh. Do tell us if DPW salivates over you... Its more like the PNW salivates all over me 8-9 months out of the year. Gotta love the rain!

Thanks for the input on the RV! I will have to do some checking around.

Justin here. New to the eplaya. I have known about BM since 2005ish. I heard about it an an electronic music festival then. Circumstances up to this point havent allowed me to be able to attend but I have already started stocking up on the necessities for next year! I am a Heavy Equipment Operator l...

Im trying to decide whether or not to rent a tow behind RV or buy a VW Bus. Also, what do you do for showers? Do a search of these forums, or google it. It's camping. For a week. In the desert. Most people don't shower. Some do baby wipes, others rig up other things - there's a plethora of informat...

. . . Would you enjoy it more if we told you it was wrong? :twisted: Quite possibly! It is not wrong to be that excited. My first BRC experience was amazing. I started planning for next year during exodus! Remember it is nothing without the people there and, though you are excited, try not to have ...

[quote="C.f.M."]It's wrong for you to be excited about Burning Man, period. It's pretty lame. According to their website, they're renaming it WHOOMPFEST2011 for next year, anyways. The good news, though, Starbucks will officially take over Center Camp (to be "Eurotrash Theatre"), so at least the cof...

I have been following the Burning Man festival since I disovered it in 2006. It looks like 2011 will be my year to go. I know that this years just finished up. Is it wrong for me to be so excited about next years??
