Our RV took about 1 minute to search, then another 6 of shooting the shit with the searcher, named John, who coincidentally used to run John and Tosh's Wear House. Their wear house was an awesome little kick ass place in north Denver. Spent many a night in my teenage years raving it up there. Then ...

Hi mrgr8avill! Junglesmacks said some good stuff there, including that link. You will receive a map when you come in that shows you were "open camping" is. I will add only: have your stuff packed in bags & or containers where possible . . . boxes, cooler, duffle bags, rubbermaid, anything. It's eas...

Haha thanks man - I admit I'm in information overload right now. I actually moderate two un-related forums, so I'm kicking myself pretty hard right now for that... Was so concerned with survival guide I forgot to search the forum. It should be obvious by now why I'm trying to figure this shit out so...

Thanks, Remi! You have no idea how much I am looking forward to it -- or maybe you do =-) Hey I have two questions for y'all -- both have to do with arrival... 1) they mention packing in a chill way to allow for easy searches to speed things up. I want to be a good line guy but I'm REALLY tight on s...

So, moral of the story is: I think that taking your mate to the burn is one of the most important and defining things that you can do. It may surprise you in many different directions. You may surprise you in many different directions. Come with no preconceived notions or expectations.. nothing but...

D'oh! We forgot to point you in the direction of this thread. It's another issue, but there might be some worthwhile tips... Thanks, Crypto! I actually found that thread after my OP here, and might not have even posted here had I seen it first. It is DEFINITELY the goto thread for dealing with shyn...

Thanks, Illy! I have read them, and so much else it's all a huge blur to me. Luckily, I have months and months to read them over and over until they all start to find a place. I apologize in advance if I step on toes or act like a Noob but I promise you my heart's in the right place =)

I agree with all, except make it non-transferralbe. Refunds available until 2 weeks prior to BM (minus a pain in the ass fee). Infact, I agree with any solution where I can purchase my ticket on opening day. I don't care if they want a blood and stool sample. I hear 'ya - except refunds are a pain ...

Each ticket has to be assigned a name when purchasing (like an airline ticket). Only one ticket per name, 4 per named credit card. Non-transferrable except with letter/photocopy of ID method already in place. Tickets have name printed on them. Must show ID with ticket at gate. Quick DB check won't a...

Birgin here finally lining up to make it in '12 after trying for so many years! Just want to say "thank you" to all you miserable, beautiful sons-a-bitches who take the time to share your stuff here on ePlaya. In my readings, I've cried in the temple alongside you, and felt the tiniest bit of the lo...

Thanks, everyone, for your thoughts. Communication is there, but it won't get her "off her ass" to explore her own thing. Nipple - I think you're the winner! I hadn't anticipated that we'd meet a snavely full of people who will provide the vortex she'll get sucked into. You reminded me - don't force...

How about "Two Birgin Relationship?" Sooo, first post (I know, I'll get to the Greeting Station). I've been reading for some time in anticipation of finally making it out to the Playa in 2012 (presuming of course, we win the ticket lottery =). One of my concerns has been going with my girlfriend. I'...
