Hello everyone, Has anybody used Lora or meshtastic out on playa during the event? I've been playing around with a couple of units, and I quite like them for their simplicity and non-immediate nature, but yet a good way to reach someone if need be. Obviously Radios work, but it's a fair bit to lug a...

I'll be driving in either wed or thursday, coming through Reno. I can swoop you if need be, provided you don't mind having to wait at will call while I pick up my ticket.

Messaged you, too.

I'm seeing posts from people saying that getting on and off playa was a much more streamlined process this year.
What have your experiences been?

Yeah, it really was. Can we go back to the way it was last year? at least that way I only waste 40 min of my day before I get disappointed.

Went to my burner profile to click on the link.
"The sale is over".

Just checked on mobile, and it sent me to the "You're early!" page.

I've tried all of the suggestions, still looking at arrows. Anybody else in the same situation?

My favorite part is the "unexpected technical difficulties".
Guess the expected technical difficulties weren't the problem...

from the BM twitter: "We are experiencing unexpected technical issues with today's ticket sale. We're sorry for the difficulty and are looking into what happened. We will share more info when it's available. #burningman #ticketing #blackrockcity #brc2019 #bmantickets" Also, the box right under the p...

This shit ain't over 'til the last arrow spins.

I think somebody said they just clicked on the box and it let them go past it.

Same here. Separate window, those little arrows just churning right along.

That shouldn't be too hard. I'm willing to bet I can dig up a couple hundred feet of old hemp rope for the net.

So in terms of netting, should I just start making one big honking piece? What would be a good width? 10', 15?

You had mentioned previously about the crew either dying of thirst or being integrated into the BRC population. Does the shipwreck have a supernatural aspect? You could crank out some blacklight cannon and fire shots of UV into the crow to "Reveal" the long-dead members masquerading as citizens. Bla...

There was day when MOOP not problem.

Was good time. Much sun. Bolsheviks play in field. No mine.

Cars drive on Playa, fast as they want.

Now is different. blinkenlight and boomy wub-wub. Gone are days of fast drive
Sun has met quota. Now is cold. You have potato?

My experience from my first burn (this year), was that any bar you like will always gladly accept a donation of Ice. Sometimes it gets you a lap dance*

















(* results not typical, no guarantee of lap dance upon ice delivery. If rash developes, discontinue use and have another beer.)

You lucked out that you didn't swallow any of the broken glass in that glowstick.

That would make such an awesome 80's movie...

It might not be MOOP that got you the yellow. It could have been playa scars from tires or dumping water that left a scar, etc. It wasn't until we found out about these types of things from the Earth Guardians that we started getting green consistently. well, I parked the van on carpet samples, but...

Let's hope that is, in fact, the case. and your artbarcart rocked!

I do remember that. We made it by friday night, and the place was fairly packed. They'd gotten tired of bartending, so it was just byob/make your own drink (everything was on the bar). It was a pretty good time. A big thank you to whoever set that place up!

I am ashamed to admit that my camp is in the yellow. I MOOPed pretty thoroughly the day before I left, and then did another 30 mins before we headed out. Thought I got everything. I monday morning, though, and had many camp mates who weren't leaving until tuesday. I guess that's further reason to st...

Yeah, we told him to stop, but apparently he didn't listen. Too bad, as he helped us come up with the idea for the block party. Last I saw,he was being walked back to his camp by someone LEO-based. Didn't see him again for the rest of the burn. Either he calmed down and they didn't arrest him, or he...

For some reason that picture makes me want to watch "Blue velvet" again...

I, too, wanted to stop by and say hello, However, on the day I came past I had to compete in a sling-shot competition up the street, and on the return trip, I'll admit it, I lost my nerve. Seemed a laid-back time of day, and not the right time to come in and say hello.

oops. sorry.

(And then I found $5.)

The most apparent thing I learned this year (aka my royal virgin facepalm moment): Bring a cup with you, WHEREVER YOU GO! For some reason, this tidbit wasn't screamingly apparent to me until I went adventuring monday evening. Then it very much was. Fortunately, I'm decent with backrubs and was able ...

Awww, man! why does that keep happening? I never should have printed those ballots on digestive paper!
