I don't know if ticketing can help you out, but maybe you can contact them about this. BMOrg really should get their shit together to prevent these kinds of SNAFUs. Maybe TicketFly's system is so inflexible that they can't restrict purchases of dependent items (e.g. allowing VP sales only if tickets...

Supposedly the .led files that those controllers use are encrypted and only generated by that LEDEdit software, which is apparently not very good. I do full custom software with my own lights because I want complete control and those other programs feel too limited. Maybe you can use something like ...

I expect the profile registration helps to: 1) reduce the ability of automated systems or multiple windows/accounts from being able to increase the odds of getting a ticket; 2) provide demographic data; 3) weed out dumbasses who can't even be self-reliant enough to register a profile or for the sale...

I never understand why any of you even bother posting for tickets wanted, or selling presale ticket this early in the year. Who is going to respond this early?

They probably don't make a huge difference either way. Just make sure your impact driver can handle the load though.

Though w.r.t. insurance policy tickets, I'd more direct the blame at BOrg for allowing such tickets to be resold at their un-depreciated value. The BOrg won't even criticize the practice, and may even tacitly support it for more ticket sales.

Whoop-dee-fucking-doo, a person got accepted into a camp! Why should "free campers" get the shaft compared to people who have merely been accepted into a camp? At least they're probably setting up their own shit. Being accepted into a camp is about the lowest, most useless "qualificat...

Er, well, LEDs are nearly always packaged in materials containing plastics and the electronics themselves contain different chemicals, metals, etc. Depending on where you bought the LEDs, the solder may also have lead and other stuff in it. Your wires will also be insulated using plastic. Overall th...

... skip this year. It's kind of a relief to resign myself to not going this year, as much as I love it out there. It'll be a nice break from all the prep, getting tickets, cleaning shit, leaving shit uncleaned, etc. All again in due time, but not this year.

With rope, you can use some nice running rigging with the rope , which will balance the load for you. Another nice thing is that if the rope you used is cheap enough (or you don't care about it), you can just cut it instead of pulling it out. If you use paracord, you can also use a Blake's Hitch and...

I generally have that same view of the LIT program as well. The marginal price difference should not be the financial difference between going and not going -- and if it is, you probably ought to not go and strain your finances. However, it may be such that receiving a LIT ticket just helps decide w...

If you opened a Ticketfly account in the past, login to it to check if it's still good.

Also call your bank up before your $1000 ticket transaction to make sure your card doesn't get denied.

Yeah, well you can't rely on reminder emails for everything, and two days is a lot of time. Radical Self -Reliance and all that dude. The sub-head on the article says it all: "If you want to go to Burning Man 2018, you better pay attention." (this is in reference to someone on FB who misse...

Good you saved, but it's still luck of the draw these days.

Man, that Journal post was so filled with 10-principle-collaboration-babble that it sounded like some crappy high school essay. They must have filled their full-time position for the community-engagement-obfuscation-bullshit writer. I'd actually rather see BMORG have less reach-out. It's not as if t...

Whatever the policies laid out in that page, you should not be applying for low-income tickets if you can afford main sale. The LIT is not meant to be some second chance to get a ticket, but the only chance.

Claybcook, It looks like you have all the component specifications listed in terms of rates and capacities. The equations essentially fall out by themselves with only a few additional other unit conversion formulas, and maybe additional margins and factors to keep things safe. The fundamental equati...

People can buy their own damn label maker, and instead of using some sort of databased number they can put real names and addresses on the stuff. But officially handing out stickers, RFIDs, zip-ties with embossed numbers, etc.? That's just encouraging people to be lazy with securing their stuff. Qui...

And it forces people to click through an "all of the above"-is-obviously-the-answer fluff quiz to see the info. Funny the breakdown of the ticket sale: ⋅ 5,000 for the presale tickets ($990 and $1,200) ⋅ 30,000 + 2,500 for the directed sale tickets ($425 ea) ⋅ ...

I gave up on all that funny-money business when they I could no longer exchange my Betty Crocker box tops for BM tickets. I can't believe they shut that down in 2006!

There will be, no doubt, some camps seeking members that spring up on the forum. However, your best bet is to attend and get involved in some of the Burning Man regionals that take place before the main burn, and see if you can find some people you jive with. It'll also help you get involved with st...

How about you come back when you've actually done some research yourself?

Or don't come back or invite those other 50+ clueless people either.

Air mattresses are fine, just pump them up before you go to sleep.

You should probably not construct anything out of styrofoam for use on the playa. That material is too liable to break apart and become MOOP unless you're planning on coating it with something. If you need something like foam, you might want to look into something like expanded polyethylene or somet...

Man 'cements microwave to head' in Wolverhampton

Practicing for a mob hit?

Especially those Lithium-Ion batteries. They might even explode if abused.

Yeah, one 12V, 125AH lead acid battery only yields 3 hours. So it's about five of those.

That Ford Fusion Energi battery pack only has a 7.6kWh capacity. If your AC unit consumed as little as 500W of power, even with 100% efficient conversion that would only last you about 15 hours. That's about 2 gallons of fuel on a generator in eco mode. You'd probably be better off just powering a n...

Trump is just a master huckster that knows how to read a crowd. He'll say whatever it takes to get votes or agreement without actually believing anything of it himself. He's one of many recent sleazebag clowns such as Erdogan, Chavez, Berlusconi, and Duterte that should having their faces featured o...

From what I heard, that less MOOPy kind of glitter is the camp's "trade secret."
