RIP Pizzamancer. Your Playa pizza's were legendary, and you also were a guide assisting many Japanese Burners.

YMMV, but back in 2006 and 2007, the Artery did not have a category for Fire Art that was mobile but not on a vehicle. I know because both years I brought a flame effects art that never got inspected and badged. Both years I was told that no one was going to come inspect because it was not fixed art...

Rest in Peace Mayor Joey (Joseph Pettegrew) You were one of the main forces behind The Conglomerate, Blunderland, and Spankey's Wine Bar, also the Creator of the Chairway to Heaven and many other toys I enjoyed over the years. You also helped form the Burning Band, and the Little Black Dress parade....

an oldie,but still useful info for birgins....

what Chowski said (and a nod to the Captain) BurningMan is a Doacracy - you want it, you make it happen. Like learning to swim, the best way is to swim. You can go under the radar your first few years (especially if your members will arrive together). Find some open ground (outside the reserved them...

Welcome home!

read the Survival Guide cover-to-cover many times, and do what it says....prioritize the water and a decent shade structure for over your sleeping tent that can handle 70mph winds....Bob's your Uncle!

Leonardo risked prosecution by the church for his secret anatomical studies. Late at night by candle light, he meticulously dissected corndogs to learn their secrets.

the rules appear to preclude anyone from having any amount of liquid fuel, unless their camp size is at least 200' wide by 100'+ deep....since the fuel depot MUST be a minimum of 100' from any neighboring camp (cannot be next to road, so probably minimum camp size of 200' x 110' ) A corner camp coul...

taken to an extreme, each camp now gets an 18-wheeler with flatbed trailer...first it hauls in the camp infrastructure, then it hauls in the camp's vehicles (2-3 at a time) to the camp parking lot. probably get by with 1:10 passes this way (2000 or so for the theme camp's 18-wheelers, and 18,000 for...

none of my links worked using Chrome....despite clearing cache, etc....finally tried an incognito session and pasting my special link, that got me into the waiting room, then queue, but I suspect I was pushed to the back (as if I had 2 sessions open), as no one I know of was further back in line tha...

one can be part of the "Burningman community" without having attended, and in this sense call yourself a "Burner"....but in reality if you have never been, you have no reference (and thus effectively no credibility). Anyone can call themselves a Burner (like Kennedy was a Berliner...) - not everyone...

satellite photos can be instructive... several years back we had two check-points (each with a gate that could be swung open)...as part of performance art (complete with written passes and "armed guards") blocking A street completely. It could all be very quickly removed (like when DPW came by, or a...

When do they shut the Gate....is it Saturday, or Friday at Midnight?

dill pickels

I strapped one directly over the axles of my 7800 lbs rated trailer using 4 of those vehicle ratchet straps...no problems

filled it up at the Chevron at Fernley, for free with my truck fill-up (but that was in 2009....not sure if they still allow it)

simple - switch to a camp trailer towed by this

one carries fresh water too the burn, the other carries grey water back!

behold the glory!

weird as this sounds, it is an incredible combo (that all should try at least once)

it must be true - it was posted on Eplaya

if you have cargo racks on top (for bikes etc) these make excellent attachment points for plastic tubing to make a shade structure. Be careful where any tarp touches the vehicle - it can wear away the paint rather quickly. Have a spare key hidden somewhere. The vehicle should be in shade (otherwise ...

figure out what type of battery the Captain uses, then get one of those....during the week, as your battery runs down, just swap it out with one of the Captain's (who surely will be keeping them all topped off and all...)
