strange love wrote:Kinda unrelated.. but idk how many loose pages of the www book I picked up throughout the week. I thought it was ironic that the org failed to have a secure binding for those little moop books.

That's why I always carefully pack my guidebook away for perusal after the event.

Ended up going and even doing a little bit of volunteering and I must say the event this year did not suffer at all from the lack of certain sound camps.

I hear Ford makes some kind of F250 with a hybrid engine. That's burney as fuck. (Not because of the environment but because it makes long distance driving with a carful of crap way cheaper.)

The only shame is that hybrids can't come in manual.

I think I gave our neighbors the spicy pickles. I tried another batch and I thought they were really spicy, so that probably means they're way too hot for normal humans who don't use siracha like ketchup. I feel guilty. Another thing: the reason that I volunteered this year was partially to get myse...

I saw some chick with one of those little fluffy pee-pee dogs on the last Monday by a bank of RV's near H and 2. I felt pretty bad for it.

Ugh, looks like /r/mensrights sprung a leak.

Some sketch dude in a backpack and t-shirt rolled by our camp one day who was either an undercover looking for some burners to roll out with or a huge tripper, either way, he ran off after I started asking him questions about himself and wondering if he needed to go back to his camp to get a jacket ...

Anyone got any recommendations for playa boots that are friendly to a no-shoes type of foot? About halfway through the event I started realizing how much I hate wearing normal shoes but didn't want to throw caution to the wind and risk the dreaded playa foot, either. Need something boot-like, with a...

2012 was the best for so many reasons. I did volunteering this year, brought some good virgin friends who got a lot out of the experience, successfully put together a nice camp for four people, has a really cool blow up couch, met up with all our friends there at least once. Thursday night was the m...

If they are claiming that there is so much illegal stuff happening @ BM that they need to charge more than triple the actual cost of law enforcement.... I expect they will try to 'pad' the numbers from this year, to prove their point. I would not be surprised if that were the case. That worries me ...

The Contingency Plan: Packs light, but brings lots of raw materials which actually get used. Itemized lists on every bin, clothes in ziplocks. Has thought of at least three ways to fix any possible problem that might arise. Useful to camp with if you can find the appropriate documentation, completel...

If you have doubts about how LEOs will react to nudity, Now see, one thing about nudity at Burning Man is that every damn person in that place is well aware that there is nudity at Burning Man and has chosen to attend despite that. What is the most used phrase to describe Burning Man? Naked hippie ...

Alternatively, for those of us (myself included) that don't do illegal drugs, but just want to meet cool people and have amazing experiences at burning man: How would you feel if you spent half a day with someone you met and had a lot of fun and they seemed really cool, but in the end you found out...

I can easily foresee an 18+ event. The Utah event is already 18+ because otherwise we couldn't get a permit and insurance... on private land no less. Folks, if you are not from one of the big Western states whose land is mostly owned by the federal government, be aware there's a movement to "take b...

absolutely wowing. I know doctrates in Engineering that couldn't have designed / made these. This guy is a survivor and awesome. There's a lot to be said for the difference between six months of CAD and prototyping, and having a job to do that ends in 'Fuck it, we need this done this week. Weld it ...

Pershing County deputies, meanwhile, are able to enforce “person on person” incidents, Love said. That means domestic disputes, sexual assault and other conflicts that will happen within a city that has a population density that rivals Brooklyn, N.Y., on a per-square-mile basis, Love said. “They re...

Yes, but they wouldn't build castles.

I hope they at least come out wearing little tuxedos and spacesuits.

Put together the first aid box. I think this will end up being pretty important.

Somehow the whole concept of "manly clothes" and Burning Man just seems somehow incongruous to me.

I'm sorry, but where I to see a dude dressed like that I'd immediately assume he's some kind of turbo geek in real life.

Today I made really warm cozy stovepipe pants for wandering around at night which I will sew el-wire onto as soon as I get that order. I am kind of impressed with my ability to make pants happen. I used one of those Butterick fast and easy patterns for gaucho type pants, they are awesome to have as ...

Please feel free to console yourself in the knowledge that you are society's ideal body shape. Really not sure why the boney hipped crowd would read this thread. Morbid curiosity about how the chubby half lives maybe? And no one loves chafy thighs- especially those of us who are burdened with them....

It wouldn't be a Junglesmacks video without the daft giggling at the end. . . . Seriously, I was going to be disappointed if there wasn't any. The sound effects are pretty boss as well. 'Here we go..

It's not right to disrespect bony hips just like it's not right to disrespect chafy thighs.

I was gonna say something snarky but then I realized that I dislike default world dancing events more and more primarily because they're starting to make me feel old.

It kind of just reinforced and justified all the weird shit I do normally (are we going somewhere where I can make a pack-list and then put all that stuff in bins and plastic? Good.) but now I feel better because I know there are at least a few thousand people out there just like me.

When I was a kid, clothes were definitely my mortal enemy. Makes me feel bad for my mother.

I am not questioning any intents or Feet's happiness. People should do what makes them happy. I just refuse to agree with the general notion that naked people are more secure and vice versa.
