Thanks Crypto.
Not in a huge rush, so I'll check back now and then.

Strongly considering a trip to Lithuania this year and was playing with the idea of having it coincide with their Regional event, if it is happening. All of the internet research I've done so far seems to indicate that it happened in 2012, but not 2013. Not entirely unheard of. Was wondering if anyo...

Re-posting right from the Blog: Two questions come immediately to mind: 1) Will non-participant vehicles need these? Every water truck and loo-sucker? DPW trucks? How about the trucks used to haul the containers (local or otherwise) on and off the playa? Being from Boston, we’ve had some issues in t...

Ah! That'll do it. Assuming coverage. Why didn't I think of that?

Also, how do early crews find out if the Gate road is closed? Do we all just huddle in Gerlach until they let us in? I mean, the weather reports look fine by the time the Gate opens, but for those of us showing up between now and Saturday... That's what radio is for - you can tune into BMIR! I've t...

It's located in the heart of BRC, near Center Camp. Data is updated every 5 minutes or so. Enjoy!

Hmmm...appears to be down.
Definitely not ominous...

Is this an appropriate thread for this? http://instagram.com/p/dQ5fXOzDFg/# :shock: :evil: Also, how do early crews find out if the Gate road is closed?

Got an early entry pass to arrive with camp on Thursday. I'll leave Thursday night and after a short stopover in Reno, I should be on playa before noon on Friday. We've got art, two art cars, and a camp full of goodies to get built. No problem..... FOP in 4 days, then ten days of desert life and ou...

Gotcha. We East coasters are pretty Zen right now (most of 'em anyway). Our Space Madness is usually highest two weeks before gate opens, when we (Boston, NYC, Philly, etc) generally load the containers for the cross country trek. The cross-country drivers have mostly left by now. Tossing a few last...

Oh, soon it will be so quiet here, just me, Ugly Dougly and the rest of us in Camp Envy. Oh, and the spammers who always seem to know when Trilo's away. Have fun, y'all! Makes me curious. When does the slowdown happen? Are most eplaya regulars on early crews? Or does the slowdown tend to be around ...

Sweeeet.

Too bad there's no seismograph...

Latest word on playa conditions are that they are... optimistically great?

Woo-hoo!
Looks like way more Bootie than the last couple of years and that can't be a bad thing.

So, back in 2010 I spent a lot of time in the medical tent. Pretty much every member of my Camp had to visit at some point (including my future wife). This was also the year of the Wedge. It was interesting to learn that it was the first installation to ever log more injuries than Thunderdome (slac...

Oh, and if you drive in while its dry and the forecast is for rain, park your vehicle on 2x6s so it doesn't sink during the week.

Cactus Pete wrote: If you're out and about in rain. Stop. Don't drive. Don't ride your bike. Walk to the nearest shelter. Don't try to make it back to camp. Make new friends.

I should add, please carry your bike to shelter with you, if at all possible. Don't be a tool and just leave it out on the playa.

For the skittish or inexperienced, a few packing tips: -If it rains while you're there, it'll definitely be followed by colder than normal temperatures. -Consider extra footwear and socks. But also time for your feet to breathe so they don't rot. -Carry extra gear on you when out of camp if it looks...

DOOOOOOOMED!! :twisted: Heads-up, they are still experiencing some severe weather on the playa. Word is there were some severe thunderstorms and even hail on the playa this afternoon and evening, resulting in crews getting stranded out in deep playa. Last I'd heard there was an inch or more of stan...

Schwarttzy that's awesome!
Those two guys were my camp-mates Ray and Eli and they actually biked all the way from Boston.
Awesome to hear you ran into them on the Jungo.

AutoSub is at 8:30 this year, come by, say hi and try out that slide!

Sorry to threadjack. btw.

I don’t really want to get into the ‘why get married’ side conversation, so to address the initial question: For much the same reason we go to the Burn in general…there’s really no place on Earth like it. We didn’t meet at the Burn; we never even really had any profound moments as a couple at the Bu...

Wa-BAM!

And for those who are reading this thread that are from New England, New England ex pats or just love Moxie (*coff* shambala *coff*), be sure to swing by our New England Happy hour on Thursday! Its always great to chat about the home region and see how many Burners have connections there! http://pla...

The Automatic Subconscious will be returning to this side of the City after a few years of exploring the Berlin side.
We'll be anchoring the Boston Hive at 8:30 and Esplanade!

Hi all!
Just wanted to follow up. Tony has indeed found us.
Likely, in part because of your help Savannah. Thanks!

There's a few of us that have eplaya accounts, but none of us check regularly (obviously).

Just to resurrect an old post, I'd like to confirm that Booty will indeed be returning to AutoSub this year.
Friday night as usual.

We're located at 8:30 and Esplanade this year, so don't be looking for us on the Berlin side.

I totally did not see that coming.

Whoa. Holy awesome thread. I guess I need to check ePlaya more often in the off-season :roll: Shambala is absolutely right, the Boston (and beyond) scene is actually quite large and dynamic. If you can't make the Tuesday Meet & Greet due to class, I'd highly recommend that you subscribe to the Bosto...

Hey ThudGeek.
There's a bunch of Burner folks who have made that drive and been to the Burn many a time. I'd recommend chatting with some of them.
We gather at the Cambridge Brewing Company every Tuesday night.
Come say hi!

Hi Diana, Sorry for not noticing your post earlier, I don't frequent eplaya much these days. I jsut wanted to say that if you're looking to meet up with experienced Burner-types, there's a meet & greet at the Cambridge Brewing Company every Tuesday night. There's a surprising number of Burner folk i...
