Re: The End of Burning Man as we Know it.

That doesn't apply to my situation, however I can see how that is a possibility for some camps and especially art projects. I hope the artists are not discouraged from completing their projects without a ticket (I feel most true artists would do their thang anyway). Artists may complete their art t...

Re: Official "Not Awarded Tix" Thread

Of the 27 people who are nominally part of our theme camp only one got tickets!

The End of Burning Man as we Know it.

This means many of the traditional camps will disappear and the groups with the energy and ideas will no longer be able to create all the wonderful stuff that we have come to expect at the Burn. Less than ...

Re: if you have a Lottery, Why have tiers?

One way to do that would be to offer the tier one ticket but charge $320 for it, though it is marked as a tier 1 ticket. Keep your tier 1 ticket because on Monday or later you can come join a Playa moop walk crew. You'll go out to moopy-areas and moop-walk, and after 4 hours and and handing in a su...

Re: Best rebar stakes for Costco carport? Newb here.

Our rebar was welded by our neighbor, he did it at work. You can just bend them.
Nooo, don't bend your rebar - it bounces around like all f*ck when you try and hammer it in.
