I realize the original post was about clothes that can't go in the wash, but since it's started to wander to washables, I'll add my two cents. I've tried a few different approaches to washing playa out in the past (including adding vinegar), but haven't been terribly impressed with the results. Some...

My 12 yo son's playa-brained parents managed to misplace the used phone he had recently worked hard to earn, and was using to interview people as part of a project for school. Unfortunately, we neglected obvious steps like putting our contact info on the home screen. Presumably lost somewhere along ...

Anti M's Home for Wayward Art will be at 5:15 and E, which is in Hushville. We will be smack in the middle of the block, against Kidsville's fire lane. So, no, Kidsville won't extend to 520, that's our turf. When you're a Hush, you're a Hush all the way ... snap snap You are, of course, correct. I ...

The Kidsville website is at www.kidsville.org - information on how to join the mailing list can be found there. That's probably the easiest place to reach out and ask. That said, I agree with the advice you've been given: this may not be project to try your first year, especially on this short of no...

Of course, I may be hallucinating, sure we have Placement on here... We may, but just so there is no confusion, I'm not part of Placement. That's a totally different "Papa Bear". (You may not have been referring to me, but since people are mixing us up more and more often the last few years, I'm be...

I'll be sure to check it out - just down the road in Kidsville this year.

(I'm also giving the attic foil a try myself this year as a carport roof/wall liner, will report back how it goes.)

Gaminwench’s suggestion is a really good one. The HeeBees have plenty of massage tables and a nice healing space, and you don’t have to camp with them to be a “guest healer” there. You’ll find them at 6:30 and G. More info about them here: http://www.heebeegeebeehealers.org/visit-us-in-2019.html (Fu...

Get back to us when the org tells you what to be upset about with the cultural direction. Thanks.

I don't take marching orders from anyone, including the org. I think I'll just stick to calling out obvious lazy bullshit when I see it. You're welcome.

Where in Colorado are you starting from? Going through SLC could indicate either an I70 or I80 route. The Northern Colorado crew is having our next meetup this Thursday at 6 pm in Loveland, you might be able to find someone there. The Boulder group's next one is Wednesday the 14th. I can also point ...

I did this new and amazing thing and actually took a few minutes to read the article before deciding what was in it. It's just a garden variety puff piece describing some of the 2019 honoraria grant art installations. The reporter contacted the artists involved in creating them, and then wrote up a ...

I believe the Kodiak and Springbar 10'x14' models are considered 8-person tents. They're pretty much the gold standard out there outside of specialty items like the Shiftpod or the No-Bake tent. They're canvas tents, so relatively heavy and not cheap, but everyone I've known who has had one raves ab...

Tiger Man Camp will be at Fortuna & 4:45. Kidsville will be in the same place as the past few years - 5:00 & E, extending over to 5:20ish and back to G. I'll be right in the middle, at about 5:05 & F (actually the ring alley in Kidsville that would be F if it wasn't a deep block). No excuse other t...

Chiming in to second Ratty's suggestion. Astral Headwash is the best. I scrubbed about 5 other's hair and then the guy scrubbing mine did so for almost 20 mins. Omg. Zen. Pure. Zen. <3 Braids and get to astral headwash once and you're good to go! While those of us associated with Astral Headwash ap...

Yep. We bought "80% Alumimesh" from the shade cloth store last year. Works great so far.

I may be mistaken, but I recall hearing that the patent on Aluminet expired sometime within the past few years, which is why we now see other suppliers selling basically the same thing. Take that with a grain of salt, I haven't done a patent search to check. The trademark on the name Aluminet still ...

Thanks PBear... I might head Loveland way sometime early this summer. I'll make sure it's a 2nd Tuesday if I do.

Sure, but stay until Thursday so you can come join us!

Bring the twelve-year-old.

Concur! My 12 yo daughter was a requested mixologist at our first M & G.

Heh. Well, you've met him... and I have to admit, he would probably *love* doing that. We'll give it some thought.

TT120's advice is good. A few additional notes: * You have to make sure they are big enough. I'd say an inch deep is pushing the limits, especially later in the week. The shallower the depth, the better your overall evaporation rate, and the less risk you run. * At the same time, too little water ca...

So to some extent, my attendance is predicated on my better half not scheduling a ranger shift that evening and thus being available to ensure that I don't have our 12-year-old in tow. Should be doable. Ugh, what a word salad. Must find coffee. Let me try again: I'll be there if my wife is around t...

Where are you camping? We'll send some "missionaries" to bring you this year. 8) Since Astral Headwash is taking the year off, it's Kidsville. So to some extent, my attendance is predicated on my better half not scheduling a ranger shift that evening and thus being available to ensure that I don't ...

Really hoping to make it back to the meet & greet this year. It’s been a long time.

FYI, Astral Headwash is taking a year off, so won't be found on playa again until 2020.

What lack of supply has not been solved entirely by generous oversupply? Well, traffic and freeways, for one. The more lanes you build, the more people are inclined to live further away and commute, which then increases traffic and clogs the roads up again. Back to the point, though - the lead plac...

Following up to my own post: if my calculations are correct, adding that extra 50 feet to the city depth adds roughly 1.683 million square feet to the available space. Probably a bit less for camping, since the shallower blocks mean the roads will take up a portion of that. I'd have to go do more de...

I agree with that sentiment and I'm hopeful the deeper blocks closer in will concentrate the theme camps a little more so that there is more space for open camping. I'm hopeful that's one result. My understanding is that there's typically been unpopulated space in the center of those outer blocks, ...

You know only a select few will remember Camp Hedon from the Planet Wanton (2004) but they may be back as Camp XX_Goa Culture_.

Oh wow. That's a blast from the past.

I think Simon’s scenario is the only hope for reversing the deterioration and dilution of the event. I certainly think it's the quickest route. A couple of years of difficult nastiness that gets lots of press, and many of the instagrammers are going to seek out easier photo ops while declaring Burn...

Last year was a remarkably hard and durable surface that was easy to ride. It isn't always that way. Many years, the playa is more of a "potato chip" texture that crumbles easily and quickly turns into seas of dust dunes. Heck, in '17 the dust was six inches deep in parts of the 9:00 side. When it's...

If you want to go, you need to get a ticket. You can still do so through the STEP program and the OMG sale. More information here: https://tickets.burningman.org To be clear, though, you're still going to have to come up with the money to buy it, as well as the money to put together everything you n...
