This post IS for eplaya, looking for feedback from Burners, My camp is hosting a bar for the first time; we'll put up a 21+ sign and ask for ID, BUT, are most people carrying ID out there? I don't remember if I saw people get carded last year (but I'm 34 and don't pay attention to carding much) I a...

Post of the Month

Good to know. Honestly I'm not too worried about the camera. Photojournalists use it in war zones and beat the shit out of the camera and use it locations similar if not worse than black rock. I plan just bringing my 16-35 and 50 1.4(possibly upgrade to 1.2 before bm) I'm not big on telephoto lense...

Affirmative

My 5D Mark II did okay but as mentioned minimize the lens changes. It got pretty dusty and I did end up with some more dust spots on my sensor but overall the camera is still very usable. It is actually a different challenge to use only one lens and take photos. I did bring a few camera bodies to gi...

Live in Santa Barbara, but already have plans for Saturday night that I can't get out of.

Hope you have a great time.

He talked about fantasies, but you will come back with the naked truth......

Welcome and the only cure for Burning Man fever is attending Burning Man.

As for the fever you might develop after Burning Man, please consult your physician.

Worked smoothly for me. Hope any bugs are remedied quickly.

I can only offer thoughts about my experience with a "virgin camp". 2011 was my first year. Sparky made a post in the ePlaya offering a similar set up. I took him up on his offer as said several members. The camp was not placed, but you obviously need to communicate to the camp members where you pla...

Cigarette Butts.....

Most surprising an Earth Guardian bandana

Best..... Our camp leader Gary aka TnT Tough when he needed to be and accommodating when he could be. Mike and Rudra for setting up and doing so many shifts for our awesome bar. The great campmates who know who they are. I appreciated the conversation. I learned a lot. Jim, for taking so many of our...

Thank goodness you weren't injured.

I am sure you will find a way!

Hope to see you on the Playa.

They should ban the sale of coffee and ice coffee .

I mean if this is about self reliance, why should someone have to make you your coffee?

How might it affect the community? If it is true that not all camps got the tickets that they need, they might recruit new members to their camp which could add to the diversity of those camps. New Burners might have more opportunities to join an established camp which gives them a level of comfort ...

Welcome to the ePlaya!

Rites of Passing Gas

I like Chef Boyardee canned raviolis!

Welcome Rebecca

I didn't make it to Uli Baba's this year but hope to next year!

-Kudos to Sparky for putting together the Dirty Goddesses camp with a bunch of virgins. Thanks also for the jump start when my car battery died! -The Temple was amazing and I get teary eyed every time I think about the memorials people wrote for loved ones departed. -My campmates who enjoyed just si...

Added a new gallery over the weekend. My attempt at the unconventional. Intentional long exposure motion blurs of the lights on the playa at night taken just prior to the burn of The Man. They are meant to be art for art's sake.

Welcome to the ePlaya!

How did I miss that one?

Very funny!

Welcome Fastball Sounds like you have a totally cool boss!

Welcome Tattoogoddess.

I get the feeling you will have a great time in 2012!

I am happy for all the people who have been serving under false pretenses and sorry for the anxiety they must have felt and what a relief it must be.

I wish there was a way to make it up to the 11,000 that were kicked out becuase of the previous policy.

Loading up the photos over the next few days

Hope you enjoy them.

Being on the Playa at night with the lights of the art cars, the random music wafting over the Playa and the lit up art pieces was a moment never to be forgotten. The power of the Temple and seeing all the memorials of people who have passed was so moving it still brings me to tears thinking about i...

I saw it too. No strobes to make you think it was a commercial helicopter. I would like to find out what it was too.

I went to the M&G. Thanks for putting it on. I met one of the three people I was hoping to meet. One suggestion. Can you make the premade name tags much bigger with the ePlaya names. I felt uncomfortable walking up to people and squinting hoping to see their name. I am kind of shy that way. Again th...
