If you volunteer at home it's only natural to give a helping hand at the burn. And on the flip side, volunteering at the burn has opened up the world of volunteering at home. All non-profits have paid employees at the highest levels. Does that mean you shouldn't volunteer at the animal shelter or To...

So just plop down a double-wide and fire up your generator.

Hi, Why don't you just join the naked pub crawl? There's an all day marathon run, critical tits, million bunny march and a gazillion other organized things that I never attend. Monday night fireworks, all the various burns on different days. Who has time to get naked and do nothing.....

Acid Sonia, Welcome to ePlaya. If you are serious about helping with an art project please tell us where you live. Making art doesn't start at the event. You will most likely need to join up with a group near your home.

The week-end before the Super Bowl. That's in 2 weeks. Roseville Ca to Reno. We are in the last car. Tolerated by the conductor for 20 or 30 years. Every year could be the last. 60 burners. Party at the sands in a suite or two. Chartered bus back the next afternoon. I won't give you the details but ...

There was a beautiful overhead fire pit at the after party. Who hosted the Poofer party on Labor Day?

A 'Theme Camp Symposium' it's not. I'm sure there will be some talks and gui...

That looks like shade cloth from the garden department. It comes in different weights and various amounts of shade from it.

Capt, I agree. This is beyond me. Gather friends, camp together, enjoy Burning Man.

I camped solo for 7 years. It's great. Be your own boss. Three years ago we, (the friends I had made at the event), decided to go legit. We are still our own boss. The four of us. Don't be afraid to go it alone. Say 'yes' a lot. You won't die. You won't be any lonelier than if you joined a camp. Bur...

For me it is 10 burns and three tents so far. All garage sale tents. My criteria for a tent. It must have windows that open for a cross breeze. The poles or rods must be on the outside of the tent so I can hook straps from them down to the ground. I have to be able to stand up in it. It has to be bi...

I'm always amazed that people post their search for lost items here many months after the burn.

Doc is right. Worry about your comfort the first year. Be prepared as possible for the harsh environment. There is a spot at the event called 'Volunteer resource'. The 'V' Spot. You can go there and get a volunteer job. You will be busy, tired and overwhelmed. Read everything. Connect with local bur...

They seriously need to work on that website. The 'gallery' was 6 identical photos. the rest of the site was broken or lame. It's a shame. I would have liked to read about it.

Toto, Welcome to ePlaya. I understand you wanting to find a camp. Your post didn't have enough info about you and yours. Where do you live? Are you ready/willing to take part in the prep work? When you say you volunteered for placement did you mean the teams that went out for the last two years chec...

I'm sending a virtual hug to all my ePlaya friends. You don't need presents, company and fancy foods. Stay warm and dry. Be grateful for what you have. Do what you enjoy and have a nice holiday.

Come on people. If you're going on the trip buy your ticket now. The sponsors of this are out on a limb for the tab. Don't wait till later. You know you're going. It's the best 24 hour party around. Food, drinks, rides and gifts. Put on your happy face and get on the train.

I remember when the TV sat on the floor and had 8 inch legs under the cabinet. There was also a TV lamp on top of it. That would save you from going blind. Or so they said.

Welcome to ePlaya. Read a lot of the Burning Man website. Search this site for any questions you may have. The search engine on this site is crap so use Google or others. (Like...eplaya foreign traveler. Or eplaya burner express bus.) Make lists of your supplies needed and people to visit at the eve...

Nicscal, Welcome. You will be able to volunteer once you get to the event. There is a Station or camp called Volunteer Resource. Or 'V Spot' for short. They keep track of all the departments that need help. You will be pretty busy just checking out everything. Read eveything you can find on the Burn...

Ha. I'm both. One week ahead of multiple art projects and several days behind the stuff I don't want to do. TPBM has trouble saying NO to volunteer opportunities and parties.

Eric thank you for all the years of modding. You do a great job. Please dont disappear completely.

It was one of your nighttime shots of Dustfish. It's perfect for their page. It's getting a lot of love already. Thank you.

Marc, Thank you. Those are beautiful shots. I hope you don't mind I took the liberty of posting one on FB. With your name as photo credit of course.

I worked 'The Potty Project' one year. There are some things you just don't touch. Plus they overflow in high traffic areas.

Hi Ygmir, It's beautiful.

Yay Spacetime. I knew you could do it. I'll keep my fingers crossed for some financial help this time around.

RVs wrapped in spandex?

Reminds me of 'The Zippless F---'. You should have asked her name.
