I'm a troll because I am trying to understand something about burning man? Everywhere I look there is hate for scalpers and such and I just wanted to understand it. The guy said something about burning man being a gift based economy and that selling tickets was a big slap in the face to the whole i...

If it's based on a gift economy then why buy tickets in the first place? Shouldn't it be free...or pay what you think it is worth? You cannot charge for something and then get mad when people who also bought the tickets see that the demand is higher than the supply and decide to make a little money...

Or maybe I'm just someone who got two tickets through the lotto and have no problem with people being entrepreneurial. This is my first burn, and I want to understand why people hate scalpers so much, half this thread is people complaining about scalpers or the tickets system. I don't get it. I'm u...

Kashi is so good. And Kashi as an after-ticket celebration? I want what he's having!

No fear! We have all of today to look forward to.
I also had dreams and nightmares about my ticket... woke up to nothing in my inbox.

But I have faith that no matter what, I'll make it to BM! It will just be a lot easier to get tickets now rather than buying them through STEP, I'm sure.

Fantastic! Thank you so much. I just sent a request to the group. Finally, a connection to burners in my area!

No email yet. I am crossing my fingers so hard they're turning blue!

Hahaha! Man, someone beat me to the sheik pun punch.

Haha! This is awesome, and the name you've thought up is gold. I lol'd. Enigma is a little slow. If you want something with a beat half the time and that world feeling try Conjure One. I second this. They're absolutely amazing. I would love some beautiful women undressing to the sweet sound of Conju...

I, being the Voice of Reason in the forum, am going to try to put a positive spin on this whole ordeal. I ended up paying right at $300 for my ticket(s). I do not think of it as spending $300 for a party; rather, I look at it as spending $1 for 300 parties. When I look at it through that particular...

My Burning Man hymen is still intact and I am determined to bust it. So determined in fact that I've talked to one or two people in the Arizona region about rideshare, and may just end up Greyhounding it down to there. However, that's an extra $200 for the trip for two people, and if I could find so...

Oh yeah? :D I would love to meet up with you if you're willing. Then again, if you're only here for a week I'd imagine you'd be very busy.

All the links on the New Mexico regional link are really, really dead. Is there anyone active in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area? I'm pretty new to the whole thing, and I would love to meet up with other burners in my area.

One more question; I need some guidance here. I really, really want to contribute art, even though it'll be my first time to BRC. My only problem is that I have no idea where to start. What kind of art is accepted at BM? Do I have to do something 3D? Does it have to be visual, or can I do something ...

I hope I don't sound naive or too starry eyed (though I totally am) to you vets out there. I just think the idea of Burning Man is totally freaking amazing. :D Starry eyed first-timers are the most fun. Hell, showing people around the playa for the first time is one of my favorite activities out th...

Shambala, thank you so much for the warm welcome! Tazz, I understand now! I thought you were implying that I had forgotten some necessary etiquette. :D Thank you! AntiM, I'm actually not that good of a camper... I love it, but I usually let everyone else do the work. I don't want to to be that way t...

Umm... umm...

I'm... afraid I'm lost.

What etiquette have I forgotten? ):

... Yet I have a long way to go, I'm sure. I am to Burning Man as... as... as Kesha is to talent-- no connection besides desire for the latter. I first heard about Burning Man last year only briefly before the event took place, and ever since then it's intrigued me. Only recently did I take the libe...
