I am curious, tell me more....

Thank you for the input ladies!

I suspected I wouldn't be the only one!

You're in Sparks? How come I never noticed that before? I'm in Reno, as you can see.

Maybe we should get together, talk about playa related things, and you, me, and my honey (and anyone else...this isn't exclusive!) can make a big fire out of our individual lights?

That would be hard to miss.

I knew it would be hilarious! I have always liked the show, so I was super excited to see this episode. I liked the way they said "Burning Man" about a hundred times in less than 30 minutes. It was great. And yes, I LOVED how Reese responded. (Especially since he was the one telling Dewey how it was...

So, last year after Burning Man, my period was two weeks late. Again, this year, I was a week and a half late, and I'm usually like clockwork. I was just wondering if this has happened to any other women? I'm thinking that this might be somewhat normal? I always thought I acclimated pretty well out ...

I had a great time! Nice to see so many of you again this year...and to meet many new and wonderful folks. The wine and shrimp cocktails were fabulous!

You guys are great.

You know...between last night and this morning, I read through this entire thread. WHEW! That took a while. There were several things I wanted to respond to, but then, after 31 pages, I couldn't remember all of them. I do remember however someone posted something about their friend who was a Christi...

I'm going crazy with anticipation! That's what's going on! Two and a half months...ahhhh, can I make it?? Yeah, I suppose I'll have to. Gotta by lots of gear still, so that will take plenty of time. Plus I've got a pretty busy summer coming up, the next two months should actually fly by.

That's so cool. I'm downloading it right now.
Thank you, you rock. What a nice gift!
I'll let you know my high score once I finally get one...be warned though, I'm not too good at pac man. Maybe this is a bit different though.

How fun.

I think it's a great idea, also. I would love a bad tattoo. That could be fun. Last year, we met a couple jerks in the middle of the night right after a girlfriend and I finished using the port a potties, I forget exactly what was said except for "Hey Ladies" (and the inflection in their voices when...

The other day, I was driving and I pulled along side a girl's car that had a BRC sticker on it. It was warm and we both had our windows rolled down, so I just shouted, "BLACK ROCK CITY! RIGHT ON!" She smiled and I drove off. Ahhhh, that was fun, and it made me happy to see a fellow burner. What is i...

Yay! Last year was fun...

I do believe that Steve and I will attend again this year. Yes, yes, count us in.

I agree with you robbidobbs, 100%.

On another note...if you are not registered to vote, you have until Saturday! You still have time! Go to the DMV or the post office, it's painless! Go register and then vote on Nov. 2nd!

I too have had dreams about Burning Man almost every night since I got back. In the most recent one I took a couple people from work with me. As soon as we got to the playa I started thinking how it seemed like I had JUST been to Burning Man, how I didn't have ANY gifts made, and how my husband and ...

* still Fat SAM *

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand....if you want to hear a MASTER of dj'ing; one who truly elevates it to art, pick up a FatBoy Slim mix. He produces live as he mixes tracks on cd and vinyl. He IS an artist and I won't be backed down on that one.

* Fat SAM posting under Rachel's login * While I would never compare myself with Matisse or Picasso, I think it might be fair to compare myself to Warhol, because what he did was overrated, too. It goes back to the thing that I was arguing back and forth with the Piss Clear chick...art is subjective...

OK. This is not a "what's wrong" post. It's actually a "what can be changed to make things really different?" post. Says so in the first line of this thread. I had a freakin blast, and yes, although there were some bad vibes there, for the most part I didn't let them get to me. I looked at EVERYONE...

Hey this was my first time too, and I didn't expect to take being back in the "real" world so hard! I was ECSTACTIC Tuesday morning, when I first got to work. Three hours into my shift, I got DEAD tired, and pretty sad. I didn't think I'd be so tired! I knew I hadn't gotten a lot of sleep on the pla...

You could crash that idea into mine very easily. Burn the neon man on monday and the rest of the week, allow participants to help "build" the new man and then burn that on saturday. I think that would be beautiful. I know it would be a pain to have 30,000 people show up on monday, but frankly, I don...

I meant the group from Michigan that gave out the coffee, just to clarify

Fat Sam, you should talk to the group that gives out 10,000 bottles of water each year. Hey! Fat SAM is my husband, and we did talk to a member of that group, like 3 months before Burning Man started. They are a Christian group that gives out water as "a practical demonstration of God's love." The ...

I am so with Fat SAM on this one. I think it's a fabulous idea. I've heard sooooo many people say that the burning if the Man is not the "climax" of the event anymore. It wasn't even for me, as a newbie. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED the burn, I thought it was great. I've always LOVED fireworks and fi...

Hey! It was so fantastic to meet ALL of you! I just knew I would have a fabulous time, and I did. I think I can speak for Steve as well when I say that. Truly, the Meet and Greet was one of my most favorite parts of the entire week. It was good times all around. Thank you Rob the Wop for turning the...

So I did say that I would post the second display...so here it is... and I don't really care anymore... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v286/souldancer/souldancer/moreAugust009.jpg you know, we incorporated (crap, I used the word corporate) the theme and everything...see the planets? well, the man...

Ok, so we can change it from "Burning Man(tm) wouldn't...." to "Camping in the desert for a week..." Regardless, see what happens when we try to do something nice for other burners? We get burned. It's not for the benefit of Trader Joe's, they will sell stuff to people camping in the desert for a we...

What you wrote was over the top rude, is all. Not necessary to be quite so snotty. The three burners...(wait is that word copyrighted too?) that work there didn't have your views at all, we just wanted to show people we are a part of the community. If Larry Harvey wants us to take them down, by all ...

Jeez, I was just trying to share something I thought was pretty cool. We get A LOT of business from burners as it is, and we thought it would be something neat to do. Jeez. The displays wouldn't have even been put up if there weren't 3 employees going. It was OUR idea. Not the stores. I'm not trying...

Has anyone seen "The Sea is Watching"? Man, what a good movie. It's a Japanese film, so make sure you're in the mood for subtitles. But definitely worth it. Also, I second (or third) the vote for "Oh Brother Where Art Thou". We own that movie, and watch it almost once a week, without getting sick of...

Ok, I'm a total dork, but I've been waiting for this display to go up in Trader Joe's for 2 weeks now! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v286/souldancer/souldancer/August027.jpg It makes me smile every time I walk by it at work. There should be another one up tomorrow, and I'll take a picture of tha...

I was at work (Trader Joe's) on Saturday and I saw a group of three buying a TON of booze, and other non persihable items. I looked at their shoes, and noticed they were covered with playa dust already! I pointed to one guys shoes, smiled, and said, "I know where you've been" They said they had been...
