I have to second what Motsky said...it was a fantastically successful camp, particularly so when one considers that it took two months to organize. We had more than 50 campers, everyone got along famously, there was no drama, there were no bad attitudes. As far as I'm concerned it was all love. Amaz...

No, I swear...it works really well and doesn't hurt a bit.

Prevention: Spray those little tootsies each morning with a solution of vinegar water (you can add some essential oil to it to make for a nicer smell - rose or lavender are both very nice). Using a spray bottle kills the problem of having too much grey water, and whatever's there you can drip into y...

This was the first year that I was able to screw up the courage to go to the Carcass Wash and acutally participate. Last year, I had my head washed, and my hands, but I stopped there. This year, aided by the company of many of my campmates, I went through the whole process and loved it. It was intim...

A notable virgin in Stag Camp spent her time before the burn reading everything she could online and compiling her own W/W/W. She showed up on the Playa like a bad ass because she spent a little extra time researching the events/camps lists before leaving her hometown. Fuck the W/W/W. "DIY is the ne...

The threadkiller strikes again!

To quote a madman:
"I don't know if it's art, but I like it."

I've had a couple of experiences with art cars on both ends of the spectrum. Last year, all of my camp liquor was donated to an art car with the promise of a ride to the Burn. The liquor was hijacked and my campmates and I were left standing in the dust after the art car driver ditched us. This year...

This was my 5th burn and without a doubt was definitely my best. I had such a tough time last year that I was thinking that I was going to bag it, but there was magic this year. I'm sure that those who say 'it's not the burn, it's you' are totally correct. I adjusted my approach and had an unbelieva...

It will, in fact, be a brilliant design. And probably also be a hover scooter, capable of light speed. For those that don't know, Motsky is receiving mental transmissions from another planet concerning new technology. I'm convinced.

Tips? Get some sleep, if you can, before you decide to leave. Be awake and aware. Be ready to be patient. I always see people passing and I think of all the people nodding off while they're driving next to those passers...Gives me the chills. Have your shit together early. Be packed hours before it'...

"You can have my art theme when you pry it from my cold dead hands!" My costume next year is going to be "The Seven Ages Of Charleton Heston." I do a pretty mean impression, too... 'The tree of patriotism must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants'. Anyone think we'll...

Wow...it sounds like you all had a fairly mundane year. I think the words I heard most, in this order, were: "Hey. Come over here. Can you smell this for me? No, the other hole. Does that smell like almonds to you? Is that bad? Taste it a little. Yeah, that's what I thought. Here's some antiseptic m...

>rubbing hands together over the hot coals of the early burnt man< THANKS, PAUL, FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO PROJECT JERICHO! THE PAVILLION WAS CLOSED FOR DAYS!!!!!!!! I just stayed in Stag Camp and made friends! Radical Christian Extremist Coalition...REJOICE! Plus, hey...two burns in one week. Nice. ...

STAG CAMP!!!! Snoogens!

By all means, dude. Exercise your right to disagree. It's the same thing I'm doing. See you there.

I'm working a stencil. The Virgin Burners tribe seems to have gotten ahold of my brainwaves, though, and nabbed my idea. Nevertheless, the stencil I'm doing is the Man with deer horns and his hands and feet are hooves. I'll make a sign, too, or just drop the stencils with Motsky before he heads down...

Ok Staggers....got together with Motsky today and he and I did some brainstorming. I talked with my girl, too, who has the benefit of having camped with a well organized and hallowed theme camp for a few years and I picked her brain about quite a few issues... We're growing, quite rapidly I might ad...

I've been working myself to a nub trying to get everything ready here for me to go. Putting in extra hours climbing trees doesn't leave a guy with a ton of spare energy... I didn't really decide I was making it out this year until last month, so I've been pretty much completely unprepared. I'm worki...

I think the palm tree sounds like a pretty sweet sign post, but it's up to everyone. I've never been part of such a large camp, so I'm really excited to see what happens when we all get out there and start working together.

Shitty, dude. Sorry to hear that. I hope that whatever's got you held back blows over.

Holy crap. I'm glad I'm missing that.

I'm with Mo. I've been bringing vinyl to the playa for awhile now and I can assure you that it's pretty safe. I've always kept my tracks in my flight case and have had it PACKED to the ends, partly for space conservation and partly to keep those bastards good and flat. During the day, I just keep th...

I'll say again about the El Rancho Swap Meet...it's a tough place that weekend, but you might find something. It's on El Rancho which is off of Oddie. You take Oddie east from I395, turn right on El Rancho and right at the swap meet. You'll see it.

No...the real Burn happens on the Wednesday after the man burns, but don't tell anyone. We're trying to keep it hush hush until it catches on and then the whole event moves to the next week.

Booyahka sha! Welcomed at Stag Camp!

Hi Jellyfish!

Welcome to all the newcomers...I want to start directing everyone to the tribe for the camp. I do want to stress the importance of the tribe, as well, as this thread is getting unruly in its size and tribe gives us the freedom to develop multiple threads without disrupting the eplaya for our own pur...

Wow, Red...the theme camp placement is HARD to read. Cripes. We'll be ok, though. I remain confident. If we need to, we can skinny up the frontage and build back into the block...I'll throw another blueprint idea up here and on the tribe.
