My Camelbak stays attached to my back pretty much all week. I love it. The 70 oz. capacity is plenty for me, but I'm pretty petite and don't drink as much water as most average-sized people. (If you're unsure, better to go with the larger capacity and not need it than not have enough.) Water stays c...

TPBM doesn't call his/her mother enough

I am little. I am Laura. Since a lot of nicknames are formed by just using the first syllable of someone's name, that's what my friend did with Little Laura.

Every once in a while, someone who's never met me and does not realize I am little will ask if the name implies that I'm always lit.

Well, that settles it. Guess I won't be going this year since my husband registered for the both of us. I've tried to stay positive about this, but this is extremely upsetting. I don't understand why people who registered for 2 tickets in the lottery can't get 2 tickets through STEP (if available of...

I'm guessing that real burners (as opposed to scalpers) who got extra tickets will probably redistribute to others in their camp rather than submit them to STEP, which is totally understandable. If I somehow got extra tickets, I would offer them to fellow campmates first. Unfortunately, none of the ...

I used the word rejected mostly as a joke. Sure, I'm unhappy about not getting tickets. It sucks balls, but I'm not seriously taking it personally. I will get tickets. Hopefully via STEP, but I'll go outside the (broken) system if I have to.

Out of the 45,000 tickets released so far, 82 are currently on stub hub. Less than 0.20% of tickets. That means they're in the hands of your friends and neighbors who all want you to go to BurningMan. ...except for scalpers waiting to list theirs until a few weeks before the burn, or after the inev...

I'm guessing there will be no apology because they consider the lottery to be a success.

The lottery system sucks, and I'd think so even if I had been awarded tickets. It's no better than previous years; it just sucks in a different way now.

So lesson learned from this year's lottery sale: Do not sign up for only the tickets you need. Sign up for the absolute maximum you can afford on your card and ask your friends and relatives to sign up for the maximum they can afford in so that you increase your odds of getting tickets and as an ad...

has anyone received their rejection letter yet?

Still waiting to hear from my husband who registered for both of us, but I'm guessing we didn't get lucky this time around.

Between reactivating my Facebook account today and ticket anticipation, it's amazing that I've been able to do any significant amount of work!
