Re: Show your Swag 2016

I made a bit over 150 hand-pulled screen printed posters to give away as gifts this year. http://i.imgur.com/CgbbWFq.jpg They were all unique and done collage-style and i just sort of added imagery on top of imagery until they looked okay. I included art from this years temple and included imagery o...

Re: How is it that only presale tickets seem to be available

Last year I was ripped off in a Will Call Transfer and it just sucked so hard. This year I vowed to not chance going through the stress and I made plans to buy the Pre-Sale tickets. I'm not loaded in any real sense of the word and $800 is a lot of loot to me. So was the $650 Exception Ticket I ended...

Re: Hexayurt 3D-Printed Wall Brackets

how can someone without a 3D printer benefit from these? If you were interested in using them then I'd be happy to see about getting a set to you. Will you be out on the playa this year? I'll be there for sure and am doing Early Arrival working for Playa Info. I can maybe bring an extra set for you?

Re: Hexayurt 3D-Printed Wall Brackets

In the grand tradition of looking at something awesome and then saying how it could be better, adding a web across the outside free corners would make the joint MUCH stronger :) The webbing is a terrific idea!

Hexayurt 3D-Printed Wall Brackets

Last year my terrific friend made these 3D-Printed brackets to make hexayurt assembly a whole lot easier. It's ideal to have a few people help assemble your hexayurt but using these brackets allows the wall panels to be held in place without requiring the additional hands you'd otherwise need. You c...

Re: Finding one's fellow posters: How?

Playa Info has a kind of amazing Camp Directory and you may wanna check there.

You can search for people and add your own info to the database via computer kiosks that are connected to PlayaNet.

Hooray for the Burning Man Rideshare System!

It's been officially live only just today and I have already used it to connect with exactly the right people. In just 20 minutes of using it I felt my cognitive load lighten immediately. Thanks to the team responsible for rolling this out. [Thanks a lot!]

Re: Advice on finding people to camp with

Just show the fuck up. You'll be instantly surrounded by 86,000 of your beast fiends. Your impulse to hyper-plan your trip to the playa is understandable. The basics of shelter, food and water are obviously worth having completely figured out. But as far as trying to find even a few people that you...

Will Call Transfers - Buyers and Sellers and Scammers

The process for Will Call Transfers unfortunately allows room for scammers to rip people off. One of the worst things about this is that you may not even know you've been ripped off until you are at the Box Office. And by then you're kind of beat unless you've done some heavy documentation of the wh...

Re: Mobility and More!

Last year was my first time back in a decade and one of the most amazing changes that I saw was the effort from the folks at Mobility Camp. One of my great friends uses a chair and years ago I remember discussing the possibility of him going some year. And, sadly, it just wasn't possible for him to ...

Re: Did you ever experience the nightly loneliness?

Okay, so one of the nights last year I kind of felt something like loneliness. I am a very social person and am an extrovert for sure. I had a lot of friends that I camped with and knew for a long time too. So I definitely had people to connect with and talk to and all of that. And I don't have a pr...

This year I'm gonna party like it's 1999.

It's not uncommon for many people to say their Second Year was their favorite. This makes sense since the first time you go to Burning Man you're too blown away to really grasp the full scope of what you're witnessing and participating in. When you go the next time you've got a great idea of how to ...

Ticket Fraud Assistance

After getting hustled by a scammer via a Will Call Transfer I've been in very frequent contact with others who were scammed in the same way by the same person. The list of people scammed by this same person has grown to at least six other people and I cannot imagine that there aren't a whole lot mor...

Re: How did you find out about Burning Man

How I first heard about Burning Man was from Jeopardy! of all places. There was this guy who, as I recall, was kicking ass all week and when the time came for Alex Trebek to saunter over for another round of small talk with the contestants he asked each of them what they'd been up to lately. The guy...

Re: How can you verify will call ticket exchange

One of the things that I did when buying tickets via a Will Call Transfer was call Ticketfly and ask if the confirmation number was valid. The whole process was initially cool and screenshots were sent after the seller/scammer updated the Ship To name to mine. Still, I felt like I needed to get a li...

Re: Will Call sucked real bad

Well, I guess I'll give some of the line trolling ticket seekers the benefit of doubt that maybe they got scammed. THAT would be crushing! I would think anyone who is on ePlaya would know better, but did anyone on here actually get scammed in this way? It would be nice to know what the numbers were...
