Thank you for the video!

Worrisome, but I think it will make for awesome cement like conditions (fingers crossed).

Just got the email. Thanks. Good luck everyone!

I haven't seen anything official from BMorg that the waiting room is happening this year. All I have seen is the sale starts at noon. Am I missing something?

My virgin year was the year of the lottery and the first year of STEP. I am an original stepchild. The thread about STEP that year and timestamps etc. will always be the most epic kind of crazy for me!

I don't understand how going into the waiting room early equals they didn't do anything wrong.

It is soooo quiet.

Reading all the praise about the Honda generators is making me feel better. Last year we ran two of the smaller Yamahas together and had a few problems. We invested in a Honda EU3000IS. The price tag made my toes curl a little, but we do a lot of other camping and charge electric bikes etc. so it wi...

We finally pulled the trigger on the Honda generator we've been coveting for years. Without debt. We camp a lot outside the burn so it will get lots of use.

I feel like you are going to make it!

Made it in 2012 and will make it this year!

It seems to me even if some people got dumped out of the "bucket" or in it at 12:05, it was still random. It was random whether you got dumped or not. I followed the directions and got int the waiting room seconds after 11:45, did not refresh or have multiple browser windows open and got tickets. My...

"That, I'd say, would be an issue (like scalping) that would be resolved by simply making tickets 100% non-transferable except signficantly below face value, albeit resold at face value through STEP. Shit happens, I know, but at the same time there are enough people dedicated to wanting to go who ca...

I have seen numerous people post that they went in before 11:45 and didn't get tickets. Maybe that was an issue-going in the waiting room early?

For the record, I used my Mac and Firefox and followed the directions.

Thanks Ratty! Still cannot believe it.

I used a Mac and Firefox. I got in the waiting room about 11:45 and 35 seconds. I didn't click anything early. I didn't refresh. Got two tix and a vp at about 12:25 pm. I'm still in shock!!!

[quote="trilobyte"] Speaking personally, if I was participating in the sale, I would want to join the queue at the earliest possible moment. The random chance during that initial moment it opens is still going to be ahead of the people that queue up after. Trilo, Are you saying you would click the l...

Yep just got it. This is so cryptic! Is it saying we SHOULD get in 20 minutes early or not??

I am registered for the main sale. I haven't gotten this email. Where is this from?

That's Bucky and the sign we use for RHPS shadowcast. Took the picture in 2006. I hope your husband is okay now. That is scary as hell! He is. At least we know the medical care at the burn in an emergency is top notch. I don't know if buying the life-flight insurance was a premonition or a jinx. :r...

I have a piece of AntiM Art proudly displayed in my trailer. Oooh, which one? AntiM, It is a skeleton sitting in a chair and it says "ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK." It's in a lovely leopard frame with a howling coyote. It is especially apropos because my spouse was life-flighted out of Burning Man on Wed...

This is great info. Thanks for replying! Knowledge is power.

Hey everyone. I am doing as much reading prepping for the main sale melee as I can. Experienced buyer or computer geniuses I seek advice. I can buy from my Mac or my iPhone. Is one better than the other? When I bought tickets to the Portland regional I was only successful once I gave up on the Mac a...

Burning Man Facebook account just posted it is coming out this week.

This is on Burning Man website (blog) And there’s another effect of the unseasonable wetness: Bugs. There are lots of bugs around, including mosquitoes. You couldn’t stand outside in Gerlach as the sun went down without getting bitten to death. We’re not sure yet how bad it will be out on the playa,...

Changing the subject to plays conditions...MOSQUITOES????!!! Has this ever happened??

Got our tickets and vehicle pass today without warning (no email notification). Had to sign for them. Yahoo!
