We'll be glad to take your cans and let you ride the crusher bike and crush them all!
thx

I like this idea. I'm going to give that title to our camp recycling person!

Yup! I agree the early arrival system was much easier and less hassle (probably for everyone involve). Kudos!

Is it just me or does everything seem very up in the air till the last minute this year? In 2008, placement was announced 26 days before the start of the event, and early arrival passes started mailing 12 days before the start of the event. This year, placement was announced 28 days and early arriv...

When I got 2 passes, instead of what I requested, I emailed placement and got a reply telling me I got almost all of the early passes I requested, but they were slowly going through the server. I think they are doing there best... Is it just me or does everything seem very up in the air till the las...

Our camp actually got more space, but we are placed super far out (at least compared to what we were asking for) on H street. Half our campers are already complaining
I would have preferred less space and closer to the locations we asked for, strangely enough...

I think on the playa your best bet is to try to keep from having a hangover in the 1st place. And no, I'm not saying don't drink, cause I've definetly over done it out there... but I try to drink as much water as I can while I'm drinking, then before I go to bed I take a couple of Advil or Alieve an...

I have ants too! WTF?! :) Seriously, I think it's the heat or something, and I just had an exterminator out on the 8th. As far as stress and prep and all that, I've gotten to the point where I've gotten about 1/2 the stuff done I *wanted* to get done, and I'm almost done with everything I *have* to ...

Yay! I just found this thread and I'm in! I always wanted to try this game, but didn't exactly fancy getting hassled in the *real world* :) I'm also going to see if some of my campmates want to participate, maybe in the group part? We already plan on shooting tresspassers with waterguns at our camp ...

A friend of mine just reccommended Veet to me when I thought I wouldn't be able to get my legs done... it comes with a nifty little scraper and doesn't smell as bad... she said she did (not sure what and I don't want to know) on her husband and it stayed off for about a week and a half... not sure y...

Yeah, those OC burners are a good group.
I'm excited cause this year I actually get to camp near them, so I don't have to go hike across the whole freakin' playa to hang out

But unfortunately I will not be partaking of the "icy shoulder"... just because it's blue.

Err... Uhaul definetly sucks... even for just moving around town... although, when we returned the vehicle, my little sister pretty much backed the truck over another one, and seriously, they didn't even notice Course the truck was a POS with no air anyway, but...

I've always driven the spooky desert route (I haul a little camper with my 6 cyl Jeep and I can't handle the big inclines) and have never had any problem... I plan on taking it again this year as well, but I obey traffic signs... my camper is pretty burner-y and has never garnered too much negative ...

I'm a Motion Graphics Designer for a movie trailer house in Hollywood... Last year my old boss got fired, and when my new one got her, I immediately told him I would be gone for a week for burningman... his 1st response was, oh really, I've always wanted to go to that... maybe we should make it a de...

My 1st year at the burn my roommate and I rolled in around 3am... we knew the general area we were supposed to meet the others, so we drove close, parked, then walked around to find it... we got to meet some great people camped near us that way, and after several beers, a walk to playa info and back...

This post made me laugh... thanks for aleiviating my pre BM tensions :) Seriously, though, from a girls perspective, hanging out with guy friends who are taken works the same way... you get to have friends without worrying about unreturned feelings :) and they go away when you ask them to ;) (or in ...

I feel fucking dismayed that I missed out on this topic until now... hmmm how did that happen?

OregonRed, I totally fucking agree with you! Fuckity, fuck, fuck.

Does anyone know of a good time-lapse compiling program? I grabbed about 90 shots of the sunrise this morning as the webcam went from black to morning sun. I'd like to think there is something easier to use than photoshop. After effects will do it as well, and you can choose how to export the movie...

Did they approve the nuclear facility? Cause there is this strange blue mountain lurking over the playa.... hmmm

not in my book. I had found a camp six months before I went up for my first year, had more durable shade than they did, made all my own food and had water to spare. To be honest though, I did not know to bring false eyelashes but a generous camp mate hooked me up. Ha ha, that's funny! I did the sam...

That's awesome... Okay, my work story: I got hired in a small (6 people) graphics department in December and basically told my boss before I got hired I would be gone the week of BM... told him why, no problem (knew beforehand he was cool that way)... After about 3 months, my boss got fired (!!!) an...

What am I hoping to find?:

Old Friends
New Friends
My hat that I left at a beach burn :)
Great days and nights of fun and sharing and wonderful hugs, and many other things I haven't even thought of yet, but will look back on and wonder "wow, I wonder if that will happen again"

;)

The BBC will be back this year, at 4:30 and Bipolar I think... (I am not part of thier group, just have friends who are)

I like eyelash glue... No bad reactions and the cleanup is easy

Oooh... I really like the idea of a mosaic! I am bring peices of clear acrylic out to the playa to paint on during the days, maybe I will somehow use the pieces to mosiac the outside! (I just got an adorable 13 foot trailer

JB - you're the reason Phoenix Projekt smells funny...

I like a place that is close to things, but a little off the main, main area, then you don't have someone wander through your camp and fall on your tent in the middle of the night (really happened!)

Hi everyone, My roomate and I came out Friday night, which was all we could get off of work. We rolled into camp around 4am Sat morning, and then proceeded to try to find our friends camp (they were all out and about). After parking our car in the 1st space we saw in the general area they were suppo...

sishou - If you will let me practice, I will try to speak Japanese with you! I have been learning (just because), or at least trying to, for the last couple of months. Also - I just want to say to everyone who replied - this is going to be my 1st year, and seeing the responses and the spirit involve...
