I hate the howling and dumb shit people do at temple burn, so I just go out to deep playa and watch it from a distance with my partner. I know that'll piss me off, and I know it's going to happen, so I take myself out of a situation where I will be (unreasonably?) pissed off.


Lol @ free bird ^^^

That sucks to hear. I noticed last year in the last month or two before the event there were TONES of vp's available in the Alberta local community. Usually they're from theme camps that got overzealous and purchased all the DST and vp's they were offered before event knowing who they're going to (b...

I know not to trust what the website & emails says.. and because of that I got my ticket! I logged in 20 minutes early and joined the waiting room. I noticed the timer ended 2 minutes after noon and thought "jeez.. that's odd." So I went on my cell phone and clicked on the link they emailed me about...

anyone else notice that the countdown ends 2 minutes after noon.. or is that just for me?

Update for my regional, Freezer Burn (in Alberta, Canada.. not the Texas Freezer Burn)

The producers picked 8 themes to put to a public poll, and the winner was:

(drum role)

Freezer Burn 2018: Fighter Jets v.s. Laser Sharks.

Holy fuck!

To be honest, this isn't one of the regionals that's been on my radar.. but I just checked the link added by the moderator.. and it looks like a swell time. Perhaps this just made it to the short list to attend in the next couple years (this year is a no-go.)

I knew I shouldn't have spent the entire weekend trying to get selfies with Halcyon and Larry Harvey...

Hi Friends (and frienemies.) The fiancée and I have decided to take a few years off the big burn and focus on regionals for a while. We decided this after we realized we much prefer our own regional to the big burn.. and thought "I bet we'd prefer other regionals over the big burn as well." Obviousl...

I have used rubber boots, but I don't find them good for long distance (or all night long,) traveling. I use a pair of waterproof high-top hunting boots. I'm the geek that tucks my pants into my boots and from the waist down I'm clean as a whistle when I go to bed. The boots are comfy, keep the dust...

I had a blast at the GLC this year.. can't wait for next ye... oh... never mind.

I had a pleasantly uneventful year in regards to LEO interactions, however, a camp mate of mine was freaking out on Saturday because she claimed that "all these people are getting busted" and "large camps are getting randomly searched," and all this stuff. I think it's her first time here.. maybe sh...

Woah.. as a camp that holds many family friendly day time events every day of the week and always has a green moop map.. I am shocked we didn't get placement this year.

Not sure why Badger believes "providing art grants" is a fat load of shit.. our camp already provides thousands of dollars in art grants every year.. adding to that would only benefit the festival. (Well, it goes to artists from our region... so it'll benefit our regional.) Therefor it does not ben...

Freezer Burn tickets back on sale. This years event is June 22-26. If you want to have some fun north of the border with some crazy alberta burners, buy a ticket (than sign up for a volunteer shift!)

Very interesting replies, and thanks for your contributions. Eldergeekaz - Your mentor/birgin training is a well known method that our camp has used for a few years, which is why our camp has no cultural issues. Unfortunately the end result isn't the same... it doesn't get us enough money to transpo...

I just got from our theme camps annual retreat and thought about a crazy idea. What if a major theme camp sectioned off a small corner of their camp as a plug n play, sold tickets for a pretty crazy price (as you'd expect for a ticket that includes a yurt, food, booze, bike, water, shower, toilet, s...

Sad to not be partaking in this ticket fiasco. It's always fun/stressful. Oh well.. DST for the win!

Good luck to everyone!

Ready.... set.... go!

Well, personally, I will post about every single way to game the system in hopes that they will change it so that people cannot do this.

I'm not using my burner profile to claim the direct sale tickets because I will be out of the country. Someone else in my camp who isn't attending this year is graciously donating his time and profile to acquire these tickets leaving my profile open to acquire another pair of tickets to gift to a fa...

Early bird tickets (even tho they're +/-1200$) should have the regular price on the ticket (so it can only be resold at the reg.price face value.) Call the additional +/-600$ a early bird fee, apart from the ticket free that the original purchaser must eat the cost of if they decide to re-sell. ^^^ ...

I'm don't care much for the theme.. I don't really care, but I don hate the fact that the man will be in a pagoda. The last 3 man burns sucked. I was really hoping they'd go back to the skeleton man. Oh well.. I guess I'll just build my own and hold a competing man burn.

http://lakesoffire.org/2016/06/20/updated-information-on-matthew-vo/ I just wanted to send out my deepest condolences to those effected by the death at the Lakes of Fire regional, and also send a reminder to everyone that although it's great to experience burner events solo, sometimes a buddy system...

I really hope you had a great time! That was the best weekend of my life at Freezer Burn 2016: Myths & Legends. We had 4 burns this year. (Man, Temple, a bar called the saloon was burnt down with a massive explosion, and a big wooden myth sign had a sunrise burn) I brought out my first interactive a...

I'm just thinking about the time when you could purchase tickets at a few stores over in the Mission here in San Francisco. No rush, no worries, you had pretty much the summer to make up your mind and buy up. Now, after 21 times I missed out even after doing all the right things. That 50+ thousand ...

why the fuck didn't the keep the line up for the people who didn't complete purchases? I keep seeing tickets popping up, but in the half second it takes me to click on it, someone else beat me to it. It's quite frustrating, and is another thing that should be fixed for next year.

Sold out, except the stuff in people cart that will be not be purchased.. It's disappointing that this is the first year that no matter how radically self reliant I am, a ticket will not come to me via the main sale.
