And the man burns as I speak, and yet no one has bothered to comment. I would venture to say that things, as they are, went off without a hitch.
Ish.

Hmmmm
Hmmm. There are a lot of good points on either side, and I particularly like the 'frosted mini-wheats' analogy. First off, people have been talking about burning the man prematurely for years. Last year there was that whole mob of law enforcement surrounding the man. That someone decided to pull it ...

Given all this fixing that seems in demand, (referring to an old adage) what is BROKEN? I mean, what is intolerably "wrong" with BM? I can think of many things I could do without or wouldn't notice missing, but nothing that 'shouldn't' be omitted certainly. Furthermore, it seems to me that art was o...

I'd like to continue talking about this. Anyone have an opinion/experience to share? Yes. My experience is from the opposite end of the spectrum. Plus, it's kind of a story. Bear with. Thursday morning I was walking the playa in my new outfit. I call it new because of the particularly revealing mus...

Looking for one of the Live Music camps
Hey there, sorry for the vague description, please bear with. Okkay, the camp I am looking to get in contact with was somewhere around 9:00 and Esplanade. It was a live music camp, including a bass and lead guitarist, drummer, flute player, and freestyler. They did a couple of live jams during the d...

It's a game! The man burn, I stood in the back next to the art cars. I didn't see a single fire-dancer, and don't consider myself worse off. I saw all of the man burn and am most satisfied. As for the temple burn, I was not only asked to sit down by one of the rangers, but to back up. This ranger ap...

I want to see pranks ... BIG pranks ... That's a mervelous idea. Excuse me for stepping on anyone's toes, but my favorite part of BM was walking around interacting with people during the day . Yeah, the lights and sounds are cool when intoxicated, but the daytime, communative, interactive experienc...

I have no practical experience at fire dancing (yet!) but I have found that you can kinda familiarize yourself with the dancing and the tricks by attaching cheap LED lights to the ends of sticks or string. Once you get good at that, I haven't tried it, but I recommend sticks and roadflares. That's m...

It is bothersome to hear "I am never going back" instead of "There is a problem and we have to figure out some way to make it better". I agree, and these statements are my reason for objection. The cause of my feverence however is the multi-page dissertation as to why. A person who has written that...

I'm sorry but if you don't want to go, don't go. If you're dissatisfied, be dissatisfied. Your pages of rationale (that's all it is) don't give any more weight to what amounts to your opinion . Furthermore, your position is so riddled with logical fallacies so as to be invalid. Lastly, what do you h...

Hmmm. This is getting stagnant. As said, keep an eye out for camp "F*ck your Couch!" On the docket is a phatty burn plate for heat/barbecue (mmmm,... barbeque) so for any who want to, BRING MEAT! Also smores. In addition there'll be a (hopefully not too) cheap sound system for music, as well as vari...

As far as moving from the Esplanade, I would say DO IT! As a musician/vocalist, I would be more interested in listening/participating if it were more remote where the music can be experienced. I brought my recorder this year, but ended up playing it at select places because well,... recorders aren't...
