^ good advice there, if its not such a hassle to bring one then you might as well. Maybe a bike-less campmate might ride it to the pottys and make some use of it if you dont.

My first year I lived on my bike, because I wanted to see everything. After 08, (which if you guys remember the same way as I do was mostly unridable hippy sand traps) I took up the hoofing it method. Traversing great distances is the only obstacle I really come across, but if I want to be there I w...

Last year I hit Gerlach around 12:45 and if I remember correctly was just hitting camp when the sun came up. Although it has been different every year, so planning to get in right at sunrise is going to be pretty tricky.

Also it might help to put "electrical question" in your title, these days forum folks are so tired of seeing "help need ticket" or "help miracle please" threads that blindly asking for help might not even warrant a second glance.

I'm not an electrician or anything, but typically red and black would be your hot in wires and white would be your negative out, green would be the grounding wire which would likely not connect to the plug. Just a screw somewhere. I looked at the pictures but feel like i'm still missing something. B...

So excited to see this complete and the playa looks amazing. Its beautiful and torturous at the same time. Soon!

I love your idea. I have friends who do Amtgard in Wavehaven and the Iron Mountains. I even attended one of their big wars on Mount Madonna in California one year. It was pretty intense and has a nerdy, yet burny community vibe. That being said i've seen plenty of projects on kickstarter for BM and ...

thanks everyone for your responses. They sound perfectly fit after a week of culinary desolation. I'm definitely making a stop on the way out this year.

Not really sure where to post this, so here goes Every year during exodus my belly and tastebuds that have been tortured for a week demand that I stop at one of those roadside indian taco stands. However, every year I have ignored them and patronized some less deserving corporate restaurant in Reno....

Was she still his girlfriend afterward?

If so, she's a keeper

I just reread the OP and realized I didnt really answer your request, if you enjoy alcohol start here:
Fandango, 4 & Esplanade. Theme is you, drunk.

I like to flip through the what/where/when book for the current day and find an event that semi interests me and start wandering there. Theres always so much cool shit on the way and i'm easily sidetracked so I only actually make it there about 1/4 of the time, but the adventure is always a blast.

thats what I was kinda thinking, thanks for clearing it up.

go to Fandango on the esplanade and enjoy their world class mash up parties.

Esplanade & 4, 8pm Thursday! yeeeee!

But the fact remains that shirtcocking is a Court Martial offense. One of the few things that is against the "rules" at the Fandango bar is shirtcocking. You will not get served. Period. (others include: "miracle" signs, bragging you got a miracle ticket at the gate and, depending on how drunk our ...

totally cannot be unseen

Theres a few pages of pictures i've taken over the last 4 years posted at batmanschool.tumblr.com some of my favorites: http://tumblr.com/xkq3sxxrcq http://tumblr.com/xkq2ldvzdh (LOVE this picture) http://tumblr.com/xkq2hjh3e8 Not a whole lot, but a few cool random shots. Some of these are edited an...

Hello all, I feel like a doof for not starting here first, but here I am. My name is Joshua, 28 years old and this will be my 5th year. I live on my family's ranch in the mountains of Paicines, California where we grow hay, livestock (sorry vegans) and harvest our own eggs, herbs and some vegetables...

You're doing it right.

Thanks, last year I did that wdydwyd and my answer was "because everyone else is doing it wrong"

Also, the mere thought of the heinous mixture of absinthe and ham makes me want to vomit.

In 2008 I drank an entire fifth of Jagermeister, was lying face down halfway out my tent and couldn't move so I puked in a puddle around my head and fell asleep in it. When I woke up, it was gone. Inform the hippys in Gerlach because I found a real playa miracle. I no longer drink Jager and plan to ...

I played Tetris on the playa two years ago, somewhere around 7oclock I think. Not sure if that was you guys, but maybe. Either way I was horrible and i've been practicing my block dropping skills for 2011 redemption. Just thought i'd share.

Deathguild loves things from Hot Topic gifted to them, especially if the tag is still on
Microwaves still work in the rain
Beerbongs for Breakfast is not a good idea, no matter how awesome it sounds (somehow every year I forget this by Thursday)

as long as we agree that last year was better, I can see passed the clearance card situation

Loved the Kantina last year! Will my awesome clearance card the bartender gave me still grant full access? hahaha! much fun.

Also i'll never forget your barkeep teaching us the real soviet way to shoot vodka.
