You guys rock, Doc. Keep it up. I too have showed pics of your installation to friends, they especially love the sign 'we put the barbie into bbq"

I coughed up playa for a couple of days after I got home. Seemed to get better after that, hang in there. It's never happened to me before but the dust was of course much thicker this year...

Oh, and let's ban those damn scooters! Their little 2 stroke engines are loud/annoying as hell. And they almost always go faster than 5mph - any slower and they fall over.

On the early arrival subject...There was a lot of "official" talk that us plain old (non-theme camp) types would not be able to get in prior to 12:01 am on Monday. I got there around 10:00 Monday am and had to go all the way out to Neptune to find a spot. Talked to several non-theme campers around m...

Bye all. Time to go play.

Take a vitamin K supplement daily, starting now and throughout the event. Or get it by eating a lot of green leafy veggies. K helps with clotting. I had a nosebleed problem as a little kid, this cleared it right up.

We just got married a few weeks ago. We'll be doing Honeymoon Camp, probably located on Saturn at around 3:45. Come on by for some cheap champagne served from Dixie cups!

What's this have to do with the event?

What a legend.

Julia Child, asked by a radio interviewer once what her ultimate meal would be, said: "Red meat and a bottle of gin."

Cheers to that!

I've noticed that the bbs has slowed down considerably over the last few weeks...to the point where it's often too frustrating to use. Often up to a minute for a page to load. There are usually at most 25 users on when this happens. Something is really bogging down. It's not my local connection - I ...

I did something like that in 99 and 2000. It held up fine in 99 but then the winds of 2000 shredded it in about 15 minutes. From there forward I've build my canopy using iron pipe instead of PVC. If you want to go with PVC I'd say go with something bigger than 1". When designing the thing just keep ...

This guy is so difficult to read that I be missing his point...but is his main argument against the dunes that it makes the playa a bad place for the land speed people? Does he want to kick out 30K of us so a few people can drive real fast out there?...

doron = DJ Mic Rage?

We came to the realization a couple nights ago that our art project will have to wait another year. Our calendar...

7/24 get married
7/26 - 8/1 honeymoon
8/18 school starts (wife is a kindergarten teacher)
8/29 leave for burning man

Just don't see time for an art project in there!

I’m looking to adopt out my 2002 Burning Man art project Fish Like a Drink to anyone that can offer it a good home. This is a metal and fiberglass bicycle trailer in the form of a clown fish. It opens up to expose a bar setup - ice chest, bottle holders, etc. Two years of towing this thing around th...

yawn.

I know of two sources for Kee Klamps in the US... First choice is Davis Bacon Material Handling.. http://theonlinecatalog.com/davisbaconmh/view_product.cgi?product_id=44 They can also usually get fittings that aren't listed on their site, just call them with the part number from the Kee site. Second...

For several years now I've brought a structure based on Kee Klamps... http://www.keeklamp.com/ We basically make an awning using these fittings and 3/4" iron pipe. Bungee a silver tarp onto the top, cover the sides with 60% shade cloth panels. Easy to transport and assemble. The frame looks sort of ...

I've seen small hovercraft at bman before. Lots of dust and little forward motion. Most got parked after a few attempts.

I've been bringing those Reliance brand 5 gallon plastic collapsible carriers to bman for years. They work well plus they take up a whole lot less space on the drive home. We bring a generous 5 gals per person per day. We really love our showers out there. http://www.campmor.com/images/acc/80820.jpg

I know my boobs get tired after a long day of playa play. Any suggestions on how I can help them rest up for the busy night ahead?

Yep, full moon, Monday August 30.

We certainly eat well out there. My belief is that we have to compensate for the harsh environment with some seriously good eats. Past things that we've made...filet mignon and lobster, grilled salmon, chicken marsala, thai tofu curry, turkey burgers, bbq'd tri-tips, Mexican breakfasts, green salads...

I'm not washin' my clothes in shower stew!

I came across this ag supply company, seems to have some kinda cool stuff that could work as shade structures. www.farmtek.com Thieir "Sunblocker" shade frames look interesting.

I love that first bike ride around the playa, seeing that year's man for the first time, seeing art projects under construction, etc. Basically getting my first look at the city for the year.

Body Hair Barber Shop has been done, same thing maybe?

Whenever we see camps like this we always find ourselves wondering the same thought...are these guys legitimate "artists" or just pervs trying to get women to take their clothes off?

I'm in SLO, been going to bman since 97. Where are you?

Last year my wife rode her bike into our flaming hot bbq and went home with a nice big burn on her leg. Is that the same thing?

Which begs the question. Does the internet really need 5000 unedited pictures taken at Burning Man? http://www.chroniclesofjoy.com/burningman/bm2k3/albums/closeup/thumbnails/IMG_0706.jpg http://www.chroniclesofjoy.com/burningman/bm2k3/albums/man-burn/thumbnails/IMG_1012.jpg http://www.chroniclesofjo...
