This may have been posted in another area, and if so, I apologize. At appromiately noon Sunday, Kevin "Frostbyte" McCormick died from an MDMA overdose. Dustin was with him, CPR was tried, 911 was called, and he was rushed to the hospital. We don't know much more than that, and there probably isn't m...

We are having an all-night d&B party on Wednesday at the IGS Village at 9:30 and the Esplanade. Last year we had the tensor, the bright-ass wall of LED lights that was the brightest thing ont he playa, and it will be back again, this time in a larger space. See you all there!

You know, while we men build homages to our cocks, we also devote just as much time to building homages to body parts belonging to women. It's WOMEN who notice that buildings are phallic shaped, not men. But they forget we also build things that bring to mind the female anatomy: http://www.xevioso.c...

We are a large village located at 9:30 and the Esplanade. We are looking for excellent DJ's who can spin Drum n Bass for a night of it on Wednesday. Please email me with a link or someway I can listen to your set. This will be a all night Drum n Bass set , from dusk till dawn. If you got the chops, ...

Clic goggles are the best.

The magnetic front is awesome, and I wear them all the time, even took them with me to Thailand.

sorry

The company, if I understand correctly, is owned and operated byt he son of none other than Michael Savage, the far right radio talk show host. I remember hearing that he is as conservative as his father. I don't drink that energy drink precicely because of this.

Oh, yeah, unfortunately Xevioso, commenting on such things upon which one has little or no knowledge makes you sound as off the mark as any nutcase with a bullhorn. Its great to ask for background and/or specifics of an event and quite another to take such a small, fragmented telling of the situati...

What did you guys think of the Tensor? That was the very very bright (maybe the brightest thing on the playa) rectangualr LED display that we had in our camp that blinked with all the cool patterns and attracted tripping people like moths to a flame. We are thinking of bringing it back next year. Th...

Sounds to me like both parties were in the wrong in some respects. Clearly the cops were not cool for demanding the piece be moved while allowing other pieces that were equally as offensive to some people to remain where it was. Likewise, if it is true the guy, who shall henceforth be called "The Dr...

OK, enough...thanks guys and gals...I think we might have enough folks. If I didn't get back to you, sorry. If you want to play, drop by and visit Jeremy in Kamp Krotus at 8 and the esplanade, and we can chat, but for right now we have enough folks playing. See you out there! Oh yeah! Moontribe will...

What I find funny and sad is that the Drama Queen still was angry enough years later to actually call into Larry's interview at KQED. I bet that if you were to listen into other shows with Larry, this guy has probably called numerous times trying to get through. I could be wrong, and maybe he was ju...

here are some threads about the incident. http://oldbbs.burningman.com/index.cgi?13@229.K4gPa96phEF^8@.eedcd55/52 http://oldbbs.burningman.com/index.cgi?13@229.K4gPa96phEF^6@.eedd083/0 This whole thing seemed to be rather interesting. The one common thread through all of this is that Burning Man is ...

Wednesday on KQED's Forum in San Francisco, Larry Harvey was on, talking about Burning Man. One of the callers was a guy who said that two or three years ago, a bunch of local cops came by their camp, and basically demanded that the guy take down the sexually explicit wooden sign/art project that fr...

My Mother and my Grandmother passed away within a week of each other in July.

I dodn't know my grandmother very well, but I will be thinking of her when I go this year.

Each day closer to the burn is one more day + ~1 week the weather can be predicted. Of course it's not completely reliable, but weather predictions were really helpful to me last year, as I was checking the weather before I went pretty consistently, and it turned out to be pretty accurate. I actuall...

I hate to be so critical, but I've seen lots of responses like the above to basic questions people (myself included) have asked about the weather and even some other things. I think it is important that we are prepared for everything. Yes, be prepared for very hot and cold and dry and wet and windy ...

Hello there. I'm Jeremy...this will be my second burn. Last year I over did my art project (which I understand is usually a sympton of second year burners) and tried to build a gigantic 6-ft tall Origami Buddha out of a 20ftx20ft piece of chicken wire. The finished product did look vaguely like the ...

If you have any decks, please feel free to bring them. Just for fun. I will have a lot of decks for people who don't have any and would love to play. We will be in the IGS village at 8:00 and the Esplanade playing on Tuesday afternoon, and maybe other afternoons as well. It gets addictive. Come by a...

We are located at 8:00 and the Esplanade, and will be bringing a pretty decent sound system, and also turntables, CD decks, and a lot of happy fun people. We need DJs. We are looking for people who would love to come play for us. Preferably House, and Trance, although it might be fun to have some Ju...

The reason I was initially curious about how this would affect the playa didnt really have anything to do with the rain, but rather how it would affect the dust. Supposedly the lack of rain earlier in the year made it so that there was a crusty surface, and this year was supposed to be dustier than ...

How often has it rained as much as it looks like it will? The forecasts on weather.com say theres a pretty good chance of rain every day, almost up until the burn. Yikes! Are plastic bags on your feet a good way to deal with the mud? I used to use plastic bags with rubber bands around my calfs and t...

I was randomly looking at the upcoming forecast for the Gerlach area, and it looks liek theres supposed to be quite a bit of rain there over the next week or two. I'm wondering how this will affect the playa if it was supposedly very dry earlier in the year. I.e., how does a lot of rain affect a ver...

If you wish to bring unopened packs, thats fine. I dont really care much for draft. I will be bringing about 20-25 precontructed decks I have built and a bunch of card for people to build their own. If you have any decks youd like to bring, feel free. Type 2, Type 1, it doesnt matter, its all in goo...

We were in Kamp Krotus in the IGS village. We had our own sound system, but actually it wasnt that bad. If you want pure silence then yes, you will have difficulty there. You will be having our spot it seems. It seemed to be actually a little qieter the further out you got from center camp until you...

bringing a lot of cards. Nothing better than to reintroduce all the older people who left it many years ago to the game. I had a blast doing this last year, and its a lot of fun in the middle of the hot afternoon. Wheres yer camp gonna be?

Ill have to bring some balls I suppose. It would be a lot of fun. Check out ouyr site at sfdodgeball.net.

I had only been playing for about 6 months prior to BM, but for various reasons I ended up with a ton of cards. My camp was geek-top-heavy, so I brought a bunch of cards and people were very pleasntly surprised. The wind wasnt so bad because we played behind a tarp in a covered area. I was thinking ...

My friend told me that he has used a car battery with a device that connects to the terminals and ends with a car lighter outlet. You can then buy an inverter and hook up a two-prong regular outlet on the other end. He mentioned you can connect the car battery to a regular generator and recharge as ...

We play dodgeball pretty regularly in SF. We were playing it before the movie came out too. I had thought about bringing some balls out for folks to play with. It's a lot of fun, and it might be kindof cool to set up a game or two right before dinner when it isnt so hot but when the sun is out. In t...
