Okay, you're communication is accepted as is. I'm out out. This account can be closed. I'm not writing anything, all done. Not coming back to ePlaya either. Sorry for the waste of time and resources. You are too good, way way out of any league I can think of... Goodbye - message received, loud and c...

Further intimidation is not communication. You definitely win on that score, enough so that I'm terrified to publish, but without assurance that you can control your entire group, including those that made the death threats, means there's nothing in it for us except possible further harrassment and ...

This is the second year we (my spouse of 20 years and myself) have been stalked on the Playa. This year included a death threat the night of the Temple Burn and a threatening phone call on the way home to our cell phone (among many other serious threats). Although no injuries were sustained this yea...

"secret collective of people dedicated to stopping ignorance self-important violent fucks just like yourself."

Yeah, right. There is no secret collective.

The row of telephoto lenses in the mini U-Haul that's been decked out with shelving is another give-away.

It's tough to imagine the people who did those things were BM folks.

I agree with Rooster. We were searched in 2002 and 2004 but it was clearly for stowaways trying to avoid paying to attend the event. It wasn't a real search, just cursory enough to see that there wasn't a body hiding underneath gear etc... Although I'd love to see what's inside those little huts.

No, I don't want to discourage anyone from attending. There's too much good stuff at BM. I'm trying to say this: Be aware of your surroundings. Be aware that there is a strong law enforcement present and watching. And on a lighter side, don't hand out Pez to your friends on the playa at night. You k...

Thanks for the information. I don't think I'm up to it, honestly and I'm sorry about that. In part, I'm failing the community in that way. But I don't know exactly who was behind everything that happened as I admit. I know I'm posting here which is a half hearted attempt to hopefully help someone el...

I'm sorry, it's hard to defend what I posted. Everything is correct. Even for me, it was hard to fathom that what happened could happen. I was totally unprepared. The coordinated efforts were amazing. The attack happened late at night on Friday/Sat AM. I'm truly hesitant to post more details because...

Yes, we guessed BLM because at one point a BLM truck pulled up to talk with this group; the brownish, very new looking trucks, with BLM insignia on door - we had seen one other one on Thursday night parked just off the Esplanade (on the Man side) with its lights turned off. When they pulled up durin...

Please be careful on the playa. At 3 and approx mars, they were watching the potties. A couple blocks further out, they had a few camps together. Don't do anything illegal outside your temporary housing which may actually be protected... At the very least, assume you are under watch, why not safe. W...

We were physically tortured last year. We may or may not have done something dumb that attracted their attention, but forcing playa dust down our throats was just one of the strong arm tactics they used. The use of technology was amazing. We left early and were followed the entire way home. Instead ...

My wife and I were physically tortured by some authoritative force this year on our second trip to the playa. Another friend we met on the playa while out and about on Thursday night whom I had not seen until this week mentioned the strange entourage that was following us and with the help of a few ...

We (I and my wife) went to the medical tent at 3 oclock after I was assaulted the previous night/morning. I didn't want to go at first because I didn't want to continue the experience, so to speak, but was finally convinced to go. We also went to sanctuary where we were asked repeatedly what drugs w...

Nope not dead, in fact permitted for '05 already.

I hear ya. This was our second year at BM after doing a theme camp in 2002. The cold weather put a huge damper on our plans, costumes, and eventually fun. In 2002, we met the warmest, kindest, most loving strangers on the planet. This year, we met some of the weirdest people. One woman (Cat) told us...

After a very positive life experience during our trip out to the playa in 2002 (we did the, imho, very fun and nifty video drome (large scale video projected on white geodome (yurt) in which you would watch in the quiet inside of the dome or set up chairs (as some did) around the outside of the dome...

Awesome job! I've added a link to my page to the site. I will definitely be stopping by! I saw my first flare at Burning Man thanks to an art installation on the path out to the man that had all the Flare data. Although I had brought my satellite data with me, I had never heard of flares until I stu...

There will be plenty of satellites traversing our Vault of Heaven during Burning Man 2004. I saw my first Iridium Flare at Burning Man 2002 and since I was going to collect the data for this year, I thought I'd post it too! See Iridium Flares and the Internation Space Station traverse our Vault of H...
