Or if your pocketbook's a little smaller than Bruno's $700/yearly, get yourself a small utility trailer, load your sh-tuff into it and park it at Gay's storage in Empire for $300/year. Pull it into camp and place it where you like.

Repeat yearly.

Me, I'm going to bring a horse skeleton to the playa next year and give y'all baseball bats.



So you can beat the dead horse some more.

Maybe we can institute a suit against the Center Cafe for not smiling enough, while we're at it. I mean, it's the American Way, innit? Get our knickers twisted and sue! How about we all try standing up for our own selves, right at the source? Maybe refuse to give up stuff without a darn good reason....

We ran two burn barrels last year, half cord of wood and ended up with six inches of ash in each. Then again, we burned them HOT, which lessens the amount of ash produced.

A cord is 128 cubic feet or 4' by 4' by 8 feet, stacked tightly. I hope anyone ordering realizes how much wood is being talked about. good point. I happen to live in the hills where the heat is all wood-sourced, so my chainsaw, maul and I are very clear on how big a cord is... and how many fallen o...

Here's the skinny! Reno-Tahoe Firewood will deliver firewood TO burning man (the DPW Depot) where you/I can pick it up with a receipt from RTF. A cord of almond is $420 which is steep for firewood, but maybe not delivered firewood. They won't do half-cords, only full cords. Their number is 775 787-8...

Our camp is looking to join up with other camps, who are having firewood delivered. Last year, Radio-Free Valhalla (I think it was) got a good deal and hauled wood in from Reno, splitting it amongst other camps, including us. This year, I can't find them, so am looking for other camps who need firew...

Niiiiice!
I showed them thar pitchurs to somma tha gurls here'bouts and thez all hopin' y'all 'r cousins from way back. We doan rememb'r havin' no famous kin, tho.

...an they wanna know if yur the one in the grey britches... or the blue?

Nice washboard 'n tub! Heirloom, ain't they?

Now you just might be innerested in hearin' that Iron Rose is doing our Bluegrass Jam Sat'day in the dust, so bring yur banjos, washboards and geee-tars. Lotsa other folks'll be stoppin by to yammer on their strings, too. Better yet'n Sattaday, we're doin' it first time 'round on Thursd'y, too. Noon...

What geekster failed to mention is that our neighbors completely failed to listen to any of our suggestions or warnings about the big blow coming in. Maybe 'cause it was chicks who came over to warn them, or maybe they had never lived through a big blow before. They lost their entire structure and d...

Yeah, yeah.

I'm sure everyone in the line at noon was as much a saint as your hardworkin' de-moopin' selves.

Not a one of 'em had a cuppa joe or sauntered.
My bad.

I feel for you Kinetic. I'll bring the bull/china and comment thing up to those wonkier than I, and at the next gate mtg. ...and you weren't searched by me, that's for sure. No 'personal' comments unless they're invited (or admiration for a particularly good packing job.) and I always ask where the ...

Mebbe if y'all wouldn't take your time waking up on Monday, having a cuppa joe, sauntering to pack up the last bits LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE, your exodus wait would be shorter. If you act like everyone else in the herd, then you get stuck in the herd and can only move at the speed of the herd. Want out o...

but i'm not telling!

So if we've already peeked at the funded art list, will you hold it against us?

Yeah, but the source for Billboard vinyls has pretty effectively dried up, so consider other stuff. If someone out there can source 'em, please msg me offlist. I could use one or two. I saw someone with a pvc hoop-building using tyvek for their cloth. It looked really sturdy. (the stuff just doesn't...

... if you feel like a women's space will make you safer then a women's space will make you safer. Falk honey, I love you but what you just said is complete bullshit. Feeling safe doesn't EVER make one safe. No matter what Mr. Bush tells you. There is no such flipping thing as SAFE. Yeah, she'll do...

We have a misting system on our art car and successfully used a 12v weed sprayer meant to mount on the back of an ATV. Extended the tubing and it was plug-n-play! Got it from Harbor Freight. We only had 8 nozzles, not 12, but had a nice, fine mist with no dripping. Are you sure you really need that ...

It was done by 'The Brewery' and not 'The Do Lab'? Why's The Do Lab have it on their event creations page, if they didn't create it? The Brewery might want to have a word with them! http://www.thedolab.com/ Or maybe The Do Lab is related to the Brewery in some way? (and who's the Brewery?) Like most...

Big White Stickers from your local office supply store will cover up all sorts of printing. You can use the cards! They might be even cooler for having been re-used.

Yes, but bringing barbies along required planning - and getting the frickin' themecamp on-site is more planning than I can generally handle in any one year. I wanna mangle a barbie ON-Playa! Maybe Barbie Death Camp could build a 'Processing Center' (read: box) where waiting Barbies can be selected a...

... We welcome all visitors and wish more people would be less shy about drinking our award-winning wine and just come in and visit. I also believe most camps, at least those that are worth a damn, feel the same way... I have been to Barbie Death Camp, drank their Wine and kept the commemorative cu...

You will be pinged.

If you're going to email, might as well email themecamps (at) burningman (dot) com and harley (at) burningman (dot) com They do placement and probably have some sort of input into the layout. If nothing else, Harley and Frog really DO want feedback on themecamp issues, your placement... and they eve...

Oh, thank god. They're a commercial outfit! I thought that some guys pulled it together on weekends, out of their own pockets and 'scraps' they had laying about. It raised the bar pretty dramatically. It makes a lot more sense knowing that they do such things for a living, and pretty successfully, j...

You dont want to commit to a camp then feel like youre missing out... A lot of folks have a really big misconception about what themecamping is like. It's not all work and effort! It can be even more fun than camping alone! Some camps take lots of daily upkeep and care with schedules and work-shift...

...have you used skyrunners.com before? ...I'm beginning to think i have been hosed here... My boy bought his risers from skyrunners and got them very quickly. We heard good things about them from other riser users too. It's the incredibly busy holiday season, so maybe it fell through the cracks? I...

However, Burningman LLC does not sell water there. Certainly they sell water! They sell it in easy to carry 5 pound blocks for $2. Sheesh. If you run short of H2O, hoof it over to Camp Arctica, pony up for a block of ice (cubes melt faster!) toss it in a container in the sun and voila! Perfectly Po...

Yep, bored as toast, so I keep checking messages. Sorry everyone! (grins) Placing Hush neighbors?
