Cheers to the woman in the middle of the play on Sunday picking up moop and putting it into a trash bag. Cheers to the Do Lab for the giant flower. Jeers to the yahoo fucks who tried to steal the black lights from our aerial rig. Jeers to the drunken troglodytes who showed up Friday, turning the pla...

We had a DJ but plans changed and now we don't. We have a cool location on the Esplanade just north of Center Camp. We have a 30' aerial rig with el wire all over it. We will be doing aerial tissue and trapeze, and will also have instructors training if you would like to learn. We will also be spinn...

Nice stuff, Kevin. Kudos

I've owned four RVs over the years. I bought the last one just to take to Burning Man last year. I seldom hung out in it, but it was great to have a comfy bed free of playa dust, not to mention a shower, toilet, kitchen, fridge, freezer and air conditioning.

For those of you not on Tribe.net, here are pics that I snapped at LA Sea Of Dreams. What a great party!

I have a costume idea for NYE that would require me to paint my entire body a solid color (probably gold or silver). I have never worked with body paint before. Can anybody tell me what I should use and where I can find it. Any tips about using that stuff would be cools as well.

Thanks - Chris

Thanks for the reply, and sorry about getting the band name wrong. Does that fire drum belch flames when you strike it, or to you use a peddle to time the fire burst with the drum strike?

This year at BM there was a band F-Stop that had a guy who played a percussion instrument that shot fire out of each side. I'm interested in creating a fire breathing drum of my own, and would like to talk with him. If anybody knows who it is, please respond.

Thanks

How did you all like Beyond Blackrock? I thought it was very well done.

Badger must be serious. He chanced his avatar and everything.

Cool logo! I like the grey with white and black the best.

So people can navagate at night. So true, cryptofishist. After the burn I was completely disoriented without the man to point the way. I tried to find my way home and ended up going in exactly the opposite direction. It was not until the next day that I remembered that on my camelback was my hiking...

FWIW, Man-O-Sandwich, the site is pretty helpfull for a newbie like me. I can't keep track of the history and geniology. But seeing how one form connects to another is visually satisfying. And being able to bring up quick examples of the various types is handy too. It seems obvious that I won't be a...

Thanks Stuart and Sandwichman. I will check out the links and, I'm sure, come back with more questions.

Learning is FUN!

Chris

This year at BM I got exposed to more electronica than ever. Great stuff for dancing, and it's fun to play along with my drum. I also find that if I put it on while at the gym I set a pretty good pace for my cardio. But I am not clear about what the difference is between house, break, trance, psycod...

I found her. Thanks again for the tip, Ivy. Your advice did the trick.

Chris

But mainly, it's education, education, education! Inform people at the door, on the JRS, on various bbs's, to people you randomly bump into... I agree. I worked the front door and we could have mentioned it to everybody as they walked in. But as Ivy pointed out, there was a real shortage of trash c...

I agree, Ivy, and will pass that point along. I too hunted for trash cans and could find none. Those cardboard recycle boxes became nothing but trash cans in the long run. After all the rain, they kinda discintegrated. Which was just as well, because by the end of the night we found out that we had ...

We had the same thing at the LA Decom. However, you gotta factor in that there were a lot of non-burners who heard about "some wild street party" and came down with all thier Frat buddies.

Will do, Ivy...thanks.

I wrote an article for the Black Rock Gazette about Madam Morgan and her Dad who were staying at the Temple of Atonement. I promised to bring a copy of the article the next day before they left, but the article got bumped. It ended up in the Decompression issue, and I snagged a couple copies for the...

Hello everyone. Below is a link to the pictures I took at the LA Decompression Party 2004 yesterday. The night pictures are a little fuzzy, but by that time of night the world looked like that to me anyway. Feel free to share the link with your friends. It was overcast most of the day, and by the ti...

Thanks for the tip. I signed up for the service and used your code. Pics should be up soon.

I have about 150 pictures that I took at LA Decomm that I would like to share. In the past I have used Ofoto, but that site requires that I send an email invitation in order for people to view them. I would like to find a free or inexpensive site where I can post my pictures and then just give out t...

Try Tribe.com/net

(Did Tribe change it's format?)

Yes, and there has been much gnashing of teeth as a result.

I left Sunday morning after the burn, driving a 34' motorohome. I had a guy who was going back to LA with me to share the driving (750 miles). At the last minute he decided to stay. It was still kinda early but I was hoping to see scads of people looking for rides. I found one...going to LA.

I remember hearing some MoTown at one point and was thrilled. By being on the playa for a week I came to appreciate house, trance and electronica - which I had not listened to much. But I vowed to bring a real mix of music when I return - hard rock, alternative, bluegrass, Sinatra, James Brown, Led ...

ONE LAST QUESTION...how do you all get the quoted information in a nice box? Copy the text you want to quote, click the Respond button. At the Post a reply page you will see a button at the top that says Quote. Click that button, paste the quoted text, and then click the Quote button again to signi...

how do we enpower all of us to jump into situations and correct behavior. I think that we *have* to but this is difficult in a "freedom of expression" environment...I would like a set of tools so that it doesn't end up being a shouting match AND I would like to feel that the community cares enough ...

While the ID issue has merrit, I am more concerned about how a supposed adult treated a child. If Hipifish's account is true (and I have no reason to believe it isn't), then it's a new low in being high.
