Oh right. Like YOU'VE always been a ray of sunshine!

I don't even understand why you care about children's health on the playa. Unless you're bringing your own kids, it's not your concern. :? Really? You really don't get that?...Hm... I'd be pretty careful about that, Sanddog. Motherhood seems to be this place where perfect strangers deem themselves ...

"Adult Focus" = sex and drugs

Your putting-words-in-their-mouth interpretation of it.

No apology necessary.

I think pretty much equates to "I'm too fucking spineless to admit that I crossed a line - even for this board."

Yes, you're exactly right.

It seems you are looking for any excuse to ban children, just so you can have sex in the streets and do massive amounts of drugs. That was a really fucked up thing to say Bus. Seriously fucking stupid. Not to mention presumptuous. Regardless of his/her opinion there's not been one one suggestion in...

Kids are raised, grow up in both Gerlach & Empire here. They are exposed to the same dust, year around from the same playa, just from the other side of the highway.

Thank you Goathead, for putting an end to this tiresome debate.

Since it came up, too: our pediatrician ( who is the head of her department at Kaiser) is enthusiastic and supportive every year as we head out to Burning Man. Our daughter's doctor has no problem with it either, and this will be our 10th year. In addition, over the years, we've had doctors camp in...

Kidsville 5:30 & D

Personally, and I'm not directing this at anyone, I feel that segregation by age is one of the great tragedies we bring upon ourselves in this culture. ] Crypto: I do not feel that Kidsville is segregation. We are families that camp together by choice, not because we are forced to camp there. Most ...

Hey Barbara!

I just sent you an email. : )

If BM were a 21+ event, there might be less pressure from the locals, via the cops, to reform or keep a lid on things.

I think it would be the opposite. I think it would be a free-for-all for the LEO's as they could then label the event as a rave.

Excuse me???

blah, blah, blah! I've heard this argument for the last 10 years. Let's move on to something else, like what are you going to build for next year?

I am 100% with Fishy's post above.

Ditto!

As for 'adult' camps, bars, etc..., it's simple: If you are out with your child and you come across one of these camps, you simply take your child and LEAVE. still doesnt solve the problem, and the result of your suggestion means people confine themselves to thier camps. . Not so, unless you're say...

As a member of Kidsville for the past 9 years, and Mayor for the last 3, my opinion is that children are valued members of BRC. If the event were to become 18+ or 21+, I think it would evolve into a giant rave, and that would be the death of the event. In Kidsville, we have worked very hard these la...

I can only stand techno for about 5 minutes. It's nice to see someone playing something different.

Where's your camp?

There used to be the Burner Hostel camp (or whatever it's called), for those traveling from overseas, but I don't know if they are still in existence. Your other options may be trying to get in with Hushville or AEZ, but you would have to conform to their standards, and they may be filled up already...

I like to camp next to Vegans, so when I run out of meat, I can just BBQ them!

Greetings Dirt Mother! If you are seriously contemplating bringing your children to the playa next year, I suggest you check out Kidsville. Our website is: http://blackrockkids.org/ and our yahoogroup is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KidsCamp/ We have over 100 families in our village each year, and...

What a great idea Timeless! Turning that horrible incident you had into something creative - KUDOS!

Be sure to check out AzBurners.org . There's tons of burners in your area, and there's always something going on.

Hubby's been using an eCig for about two weeks now, and he has gone down from 2 pks a day to 1. I'm hoping to have $ soon to order one for me.

BTW: You can get a 10% discount from NJOY by entering the coupon code "greensmoke".

I'm so glad we have Sarah Palin porn to distract us from what the 'messiah' is doing.

You need to tell us where you're at; and if there's no one in the area, I'm sure someone can help you online.

No problemo - he's kinda a buzzkill! LOL!

And that's what makes this Country so great!

Thanks for the pics!

Can't wait for Barbie Death Camp this year!

Welcome! And good luck on Rangering!

I bring home about 2 gals. of playa dust every year so I can just throw it all about when I get to missing my playa family.
