I knew there was a thread somewhere about this, but I couldn't find it. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

I loved the porta potty etiquette when I came out to TTITD in 2011. I was surprised how often I came across clean dry seats. I want to bring this to a small local music festival. I remember there were signs either on the front or inside each of the jots that had pro-etiquette messages. The only one ...

Another thing we did on our journey was plan a few stops along the way based on restaurants featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. One was really good, the other not so great.

I should note that I only read the beginning of this thread where people were discussing discomfort of seeing a man walk around with an unintended erection. A lot of people say they would be uncomfortable going to BM because of the nudity. Seems like most on here just tell these people that after a ...

If it were legal, I would buy a ton of Viagra and hand it out to every nude male in BRC. We could wander around erect for a while and then we could, as a community, just get over it.

bring some baking soda. Pour a little in your hand and just a little bit of water. Mix it together until it forms a paste. Rub your hands together and then rub your armpits. You will still sweat, but you won't stink.

I should have mentioned, It's called the wearable sleeping bag. I thought I grabbed a picture that stated what it was.

You can drink late into the night till you pass out in front of the last bar you partied at and wake up safely free of hypothermia!

Found an email solution.

Without question, from the time you get in line to enter Black Rock City until the time you hit the road to make your way home, you will have an unbelievable number of memorable experiences. But what about on the journey to Burning Man? The journey home? I wanna hear about some of those experiences....

i kind of figured that was the problem. I found his email on whois.net. I'll start looking into other email hosts.

Tried to register for skoolie.net. It won't allow my email address (a gmail account) and there isn't any contact info available for admins, at least not for people lacking an account. booooo

I believe Big Black Box was mentioned by some wine expert on MPR as a decent brand for boxed wine. Haven't tried it yet.

Just go with the electrical tape X's over the nipples and then cut up some more strips of electrical tape to fashion a smile with a tongue sticking out. Now you have protected nipples and people will just think you have silly art on your torso. That's what I would do anyway.

this plus a half avocado to even out the heat is so tasty!! even some croutons :) avocados are great OTP, just make sure to get some that are really green and un-ripe. Avacados, eh? That gives me an idea! Check out #6 on this list. :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :coffee: :cof...

I'm considering an air charter to BRC this year. Once the plane lands, how do people transport their gear to the campsite?

http://afterburn.burningman.com/11/ Participants making the trek out to Black Rock City were rewarded with as hard-packed a playa surface as we've seen since 1996, and consistently glorious weather throughout the event week with nary a single whiteout the entire time (a warning to first-timers: thi...

Downloaded Social Distortion's Greatest Hits and put it on the ipod. Are there any other albums I want to buy for the road trip?

That's the question going through my head since I woke up an hour ago. I'll look on Amazon until I fall back to sleep.

Got my Survival Guides in yesterday's mail!!!!!!!! The post office here hates me and doesn't always deliver my mail. Hopefully it will arrive before I leave for BRC. They know I despise Texas and I'm a proud East Coast liberal Democrat. Why should they care? Don't the people at the post office know...

This is my first time. I've decided that volunteering with the Lamplighters for a couple evenings sounds like my cup of tea for now. Next year I think I wanna work gate.

I am currently undecided as to whether I will bring any alcohol to BM this year Have you lost your mind? Perhaps. I always keep hard liquor in the trunk because I don't drink at home, and don't want to mooch when I'm at a friend's place. I've heard a playa hangover is not something I want to experi...

Never! My hooligan costume is a cloak and a kilt.

I have a thick wool cloak I bought from the local Renaissance Festival several years ago. I take it with me to music festivals and pretty much any time it might get cold when I go camping. I want to bring it out to BRC for those chilly nights I keep hearing about. I don't mind if the cloak develops ...

Nice! If I was going to bring wine, I would appreciate their services. I am currently undecided as to whether I will bring any alcohol to BM this year.

People take the movie Sideways too seriously. My understanding is that the main character's prized bottle of wine is either a Merlot.

Pinot doesn't have a rich enough flavor for me. I prefer Syrah/Shiraz and Merlot.

Go out as far as you like (if you cross the trash fence, though, you may well get nabbed by those stalwart, bright, and oh so attractive Perimeter folks), sit, and act accordingly. Are you saying that going beyond the trash fence is not allowed or just that you might be mistaken for some hooligan t...

Don't you mean 4 meddling kids?

I work in a sandwich/pizza place and one thing we sell is giant kosher pickles. I asked my boss if they would allow me to buy a bucket (40-50 pickles) from them at the wholesale price, and she said yes. I think I know what I'm gifting. :D Also, there will be plenty of pickle juice if anybody needs s...

These "friends" sound like the type of people that also would say, "You can show up at the gate with nothing, and the community will take care of you." AKA - selfish mooches. Just show your friends the responses to this thread. Also, I have to question the quality of your boyfriend if these are the ...
