Re: CALLING ALL SAN ANTONIO AREA BURNERS!!!
Burning Otherside? Is it as exclusive as Flipside? Otherside is the opposite of exclusive, it's formed for the burners who weren't able to get Flipside tix. If you can't make it to Apache Pastures, head to Recreation Plantation. http://www.burningotherside.com/ I'll be at the Flipside PETs tent thi...

Cargo belts are cool, but how about a cargo sash? http://i41.tinypic.com/bdwjzm.jpg I got one of these for volunteering for another festival.

Re: Burning Man Personals?
Ok Cupid is pretty user friendly though (and free), and you can do keyword searches for people's interests. People tend to put a lot of effort into their profiles on there. Seconded!

I just wish we could keep the asshats from winning tickets in the lottery. Steal a bike, banned for life, I say. I think that's actually a fennec fox, native to north Africa.

Re: Comparison to another first case of lottery.
I think non-transferable non-returnable non-refundable tickets would be cool. You sign up for a ticket under your name and if you can't go that's a $300 donation you just made to the event. That way people would have to be damn sure of their plans and tickets would sell at a much slower rate. If you...

Re: Senseless roping off of unused acres of prime camp spots
Ironically, the highly trafficked spaces are always filled with antisocial dickwads. They like to surround themselves with other people so that they don't have to confront the fact that they're not fit to be around people. It's like when you go see a band you love, arrive early to get up near the s...

It's not just the tough environment that makes the burn difficult for couples.

Do you give up your plans for the even...

But yeah, dub step is the only dance music I've actually enjoyed for a while, much better than typical oontz oontz. Dub step DJs actually do something interesting with their oontzes. Very danceable.

Maybe it's just a cross-cultural misunderstanding.
