New tube and tire on the back of my bike. (I did the front one last year.) Making cloth bags that say what's in them. Bungee balls, cloth side panel and front screens, decorative panels and tablecloths, etc...Finished a few sewing projects.

Yay. Heater and air conditioner fixed in my van. It broke because of excessive dust in the blower motor. How did that happen?

Sewing like crazy to fix shade structure decor. Next up....Playa laundry. I can't be the only one that unpacks a bin of playa.

Can't add pictures at this time. Oh well.

I have to agree. I have a carport set out clam style. (Flat topped roof with the legs left off of one side.) The top and back have a custom sewed tarp. One side has a end-cap coverlet made of jersey material. It bowed in too much in the wind so I sewed some nylon straps across it. The front has choi...

Lucky, What is that place we ate while on the amtrakathon. Breakfast with Doc in a very busy dive joint. I loved it.

Within walking distance of the Sands.

BRCpics, thank you for such a great gift. Having pictures of your event cements the memory in your brain. It's also useful for fundraising and necessary for camp placement. The City is divided into sectors. Each sector has a FB page. Keep in mind that events don't happen as planned. Thanks again and...

Lonesome, you are one sick pup. But I like you for it.

Yes. My friends in BC got there's. They were through our camp rather than the main sale.

ATrudel13 and Alex, Welcome to eplaya. I'm sorry to hear about your fire disaster. The important thing is that you are fine and able to start again. Hummm. Cobb Mtn. That's not far from the eplayan Elliot. You'll find him here listed under 'bikes'. We'll see you at the Meet & Greet party on Wednesda...

It's the volunteer season. As all the individuals and departments make that last push to the playa, everyone could use a hand. Yesterday Census wrapped up some loose ends. Today I'm off to help Center Camp with decor. Maybe I'll start on my own prep soon.

KlaraM, I had to google Jeff Schomberg to see which artist he is. Yes, he does fabulous work. I'm sure he has a big crew at his art installation camp. Why didn't the cook get an opportunity to buy a ticket through his Designated Group tickets? Good luck on your search.

Patsh

Still not decided where we'll be camped, though it'll likely be one of 2 usual spots.

Last year your usual spot was a placed camp. I'll find you.

Do you live in the SF Bay Area?

Tiger Man at 4:15 and F. We'll put foam and fur on your bike seat. (Or on your butt if you prefer.)

Tatonka, Come on. Loosen up. Don't be so shy. We're all friends here. Tell it like it is. Don't hold back. (It sounds like you can be the 'after' model at Elliot's seminar.) Elliot, instead of such a one sided negative title for your Ted Talk, how about, 'The pros and cons of circumcision'. Your aud...

I started sorting my costume room. Found a big bunch of unfinished projects. Now I'm sewing hot pink accessories for the Census Lab. Bustles, tutus, hoods and headbands.

It's happy Hour for us retired folks. I thought this said Electrolysis for Virgins.

I know it will all work out but it's nerve wracking to be one VP short. If you have one or hear of one please let me know. I'll make it a safe and painless sale. Thank you.

Oh no Elliot. You don't get off that easy. Eplayans can debate the best pee bottle for more than 6 years. You might as well resign yourself to talking about dicks on this board ad infinitum. You might even get a playa name in the bargain.

Ummmm, your post isn't going to reach many readers. (But the right one may bite.)

Thanks PaPa Bear. That is a great explanation. The meer fact that it started out free explains how it came to be.

Have you tried googling? I found their website and the bm journal easily

That explains Center Camp with art and seating but how did a wild gathering that shuns money decide to open a coffee shop? Don't get me wrong. I'm not knocking it. I just think it's odd.

Doc is whatever you want him to be.

What is the finished size. I can't picture cutting 12 x 100 and sewing 60 feet of it. A serger? They cut the fabric as you sew and finish the edge. You just need a sewing machine. Straight stitch.

I always wondered...in the land of FREE, why is there a coffee shop that takes money. How did that happen.

Token, I'm NOT the person to speak publicly about what and how the Census gathers. It's a department full of data-driven academics. Sure, I hear all about it and even understand some but....You can contact them now or read all about it in the Journal. You can examine last years Census and gather a t...

Boy, My mind went straight to smut. (And it didn't even make any sense.)

Instead of me trying to explain...i would like all of you 'data curious' folks to spend some time at the Census lab this year. You will be pleasantly surprised with the mode and results of the BRC Census.

JMS, Welcome and don't apologize. It sounds like you're doing the best you can. Does it matter where the camp is placed? Well yes and no. It's great to be in the center of the universe but anywhere is fine. Since you're coming from India you may arrive with no bicycle. There are a limited amount of ...
