Friendly warning: pack a map if you want to, but don't rely on it, as United Site Services sometimes has to move the portos (at request of the Health Department!) in order to meet sanitary requirements. Last year they removed 2 banks of portos from the inner playa, fuuuuuuuuck, on the Thursday of Bu...

HI MDF. awe, that's nice of you to say. yeah I'll miss chasing hippies, for sure! and yeah, it'd be fun to meet up post Burn in Reno! I know some years there are many folks who spend a few days in Reno after. I'll see if I can get Speedbump or someone to haul your cook stove wood out, if you still ...

We'll miss you (((Yggy))) but I'm sure the fence-jumpers will not. :shock: And maybe we can meet up in Reno, post-Burn? I will be there until the 10th or so; since Puppy decided to get married on the 12th, no sense in me flying back and forth and back in a week, sheesh... * pours an extra drink at t...

((((Sham)))) I hope it's not too late to thank you for the new Bar and to donate some dust to the decorations. 8) (((((((((((Ratty)))))))))))) I have been speaking your name all over DC, explaining my clothes as "start with what you have..." * pours a shot in honor of The Hat * * wanders off looking...

Gosh, Figjam.

I am having playa anxiety dreams already.

I miss you (((Figjam))). Are you Burning this year?

Ratty, you don't need to finish the edges of aluminet, in fact that will reduce its effectiveness. When untrimmed it will stretch and rebound without MOOPing at all. I have untrimmed aluminet that's been to 7 Burns and is still intact. Shark-Bite clip-on grommets work really well with aluminet and c...

I'll be bringing the "big Kahuna" aid bag to next year's event. gvi Yay!!! We need all the help we can get. Double Karma points if you bring single-use eye drops, but only if you make your hapless victim admit that they left their goggles back in camp because: Shiny make-up is so awesome!!! Quadrup...

*sets a shaker of Green Hat martinis on the Bar*

DGS tickets? Oh aren't you sweet. Yes, indeed, and thank you so much. See you in the dust.

Dude, now I want stickers of this shark-ridin superhero ^^^^^ to plaster all over DC

Thanks for the whiskey, (((BVB))) and the coffee to pour it into, (((Yggy)))

Had a great visit with Misa, all over DC.

So, what do all y'all Nevadians think of this so far? Is it working out well for the general citizenry? Any problems or benefits that weren't anticipated?

Let me add my congrats and a big (((((((((((HUG)))))))))))

Babies are great. So interesting to watch them unfold into people!

Oh Savannah, I got a Ratty signature in my card this year too! Such a wonderful gift.

I miss you guys.

*throws a handful of dust into the fan*

I'm with you on those numbers, EspressoDude, but I'm not sure a no-suicide pledge would help at all. I was aware this year of a fuck-ton of folks who took "something" and were convinced they could fly. Some were corralled in time and some were scraped off the playa on backboards. Was it stronger shi...

The turnout was thin, but those who showed were great! Hope everyone had a good burn!

Thanks to everyone who showed up. This Burn was really brutal.

Tatonka: Love ya dude!! Well, you say it’s your birthday… Well, happy birthday to you… yah, I can really mean that! I have a photo of you & me & Yiggy at the 2013 M & G. I framed it and it hung on my living room wall; it’s been there ever since… Thanks for the music, Brother… Even during the “slow”...

YAY for the Meet & Greet. Please come, even if you can't remember what you promised to bring or your camp already ate it or you forgot to even pack it or your magical outfit never came together... just come. I have such love for all you people.

Julia I hope to see you & puppy in Reno Sunday if w all have our shit together... Oh hell yeah seriously let's all have our shit together. 8) We will be there all day Monday too (thank you Doc Pyro for the Reno hotel deal!) and then after the Burn, 3 nights in Reno to get our shit totally together ...

We will miss you, Skuzzy!

I am so excited, I can't sleep. This year I am taking the train out to Reno, instead of driving, so I can actually stay up all night doing Burn prep but instead, I am ahead of my lists. I have time to sleep. But I am too excited. *opens another bottle of wine* One more day at work, then I am out of ...

I just wrapped up the construction of my Jockey Box & have the kegs on CO2. There will be no warm beer for my friends on the Playa :D Where are you camping, FlyingMonkey??? Or, more particularly, where and when are you pouring? :lol: :lol: :lol: I got new boots today, which is way past when I shoul...

Two more hours until the end of my double shift. Miss you all and wish I was back in BRC. At least there, I can sweep the med station all night to stay awake.

*starts dusting the bar again*

mgb327 wrote:"organize the Barbie Death Village" Goodluck.

Only Doc Pyro can do that. I just have to organize the Map.

"Plan your Burn, Burn your Plan," best advice ever.

*grabs a random bottle off the bottom shelf*

Excuse me for not opening my eyes, I have been staring at a screen all day trying to organize the Barbie Death Village map.

Brain is totally fried: time to stop.

It means a lot to all of us. Yes indeed. And double-yes on the flakey-ness, geez I LIVE at Barbie Death Camp and am usually late. :shock: Though that might be because I sign up to work ice that day, so I'll remember to get some for the party... :lol: :lol: :lol: This year I have a big bag of Perky ...

It's a lot more Burner-y to engage with what's in front of you than to chase around looking for something else.
Start where you are.

I love this so much I am stealing it.

Can I come to your crochet class? Should I bring hooks & yarn?

My favorite gifts to both give and receive are the totally invisible gifts of Leaving No Trace, Picking Up MOOP, and Exiting The PortaPotty With The Lid Down* Over A Clean Seat. Seriously. If you find a MOOP-free patch of playa you have been given a great gift. Please accept that gift gratefully and...
