Planned Playahood returns in 2017 -- event schedule
Planned Playahood is back in 2017 for our second year. We are the combination of two long-standing theme camps, camp DeBocceRi and camp Cats! Cats! Cats! Each have more than ten years on the playa. True to our roots, the combined camp still offers bocce ball and cat-themed events, but there's so muc...

Most are self-explanatory, but here are a couple of notes: Awe : Feelings of reverence and respect mixed with fear or wonder. There's a duality to this word: Awe can come from both ...

Awesome. I think a lot of these may have "hidden" carny meanings -- I searched for a while for the ones like "kook" and "illusion" that seemed a bit too ordinary. Illusion seems to have a specific use in carnival terms related to certain types of acts like flea circuses and headless men. At http://w...

Brad, I like the idea, and I even agree it's more rational than the current system. I don't think people have gotten the point you're making: It's a lottery TODAY. Some people clicked the green button at 12:00:03 and didn't get a ticket. Some people clicked the green button at 12:01 or later and did...

2012 was the worst year (demand was roughly triple), and this year the runner up (demand for the Individual Sale was roughly double the supply). Trilo, the blog post said that 80k people registered for 40k tickets. Are you assuming that each of the 80k is only going to buy one ticket? I think most ...

I just got in. SOLD OUT Absurd. I logged in at 12:00:29 So looking at other comments here it looks like tickets (&VP) sold out in 5 to 15 seconds. BM should officially announce TICKETS ARE SOLD OUT.

JT's completely absurd and non-apologetic response is the most mystifying thing I've ever seen associated with Burning Man, and I've seen Pepe's operas.
