I got a pack of Quantum bits for christmas and after gluing them to my double staves I wanted to buy more until I saw the price http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/f25e/ 20$ for 8 seemed like alot, but I noticed that that are all self contained units made in china and figured there has either got to be...

I need help doing something awesome for the two people who inspired me to try creating and who tipped the first domino in the series that lead to me making it to the playa for the first time this year. My sister and my friend are both long time painters and I would very much to bring a piece of thei...

Playa Coat... I haven't really started, but I have a backup and it shouldn't be nearly as labor intensive as the cutout shirt was.

Its Wub Wub Wub now

Xanax... Seriously... got a prescription just in case because I sometimes get panic attack when really stressed out, after I wrecked the jeep I was glad I had it, After I realized I wont be getting all my costume stuff I was wanting done... well I was glad I had friends and hugs... but I will be gla...

Update: I will be making it, going to be renting a truck and getting up there with that most likely. I am excited again, got behind on some ideas, but I will be one with the dust.

Last year Deathguild and the Thunderdome came to Arizona for a "rave". I was at that party because I wanted to go camping in the desert for a few days with a big party for a background and lots of other people to meet. I had of course "heard" of Burning Man, some sort of "hippie, music/art festival ...

I Love dubstep, but I plan to wander as long as I need in order to find someone spinning swinghouse, at which point I will probably not leave until it stops. I have never had a music make me feel so consistently happy and motivated to dance as swinghouse.

The Burning Man organization tries quite hard to reduce the impact of the event. This problem is caused by the amount of dust disturbed by the attendees. The best solution would be for Burning Man to buy land elsewhere and hold the event there. The perfect solution would be land from an open-pit mi...

They're just the entourage of the kakistocracy that lords over Burning Man.

Why have I no minion, then?

Is this a volunteering opportunity?

Not been to the big burn yet so take my experience with a SHAKER of salt, I went to the virgin orientation recently and of the 5 or so people in playa wear 2 had feathers as part of the outfit. All the photos galleries or videos I have seen of the burn ALL have someone wearing feathers in them. Same...

Lady in pink was awesome, as was the old guy who said chorus, verse, chorus, verse. I really like that a couple of them especially the lady in pink were open to the idea, It give me hope, the only thing I really want to avoid as I get older is getting stuck in my beliefs and behaviors. There is no m...

Awesome, Cannot wait to stop by and visit for a while!

now if only I could get this silly fetlife app to work...

I keep seeing posts about the new survival guide, I assume it is coming to people with their tickets but I have will call tickets through STEP and cant find it online. Where can I find this years instead of 2011?

People get so confrontational over musical taste I never really understood why. Personally I just really hope someone plays some swinghouse on the playa. I have really been into it for a while and got to hear someone spinning it for the first time at the AZ regional. That said, I dont have a clue if...

This thread made made me wonder what would happen if you tried to sneak in WITH a ticket. Like what would happen if a person with ticket in hand walked in across the playa and exclusion zone?

My camp is complete and Myself and My friends will be able to go this year, I don't have words for my emotional state but I do have something to share.

A HUGE thank you to Figjam! We are beyond excited and absolutely gonna bring the A game.

Putting ourselves up for adoption, we are three guys trying to make our way home. We have some means, time, and an endless desire and energy to participate. we could use a seasoned voice that only experience can provide. We are located in the east part of Phoenix Arizona. Two of us will be out at th...

Thanks, FIGJAM!! See you in the dust! (and at Saguaro Man...) :D I am seriously hoping to have everything ready that I want by the time Saguaro Man is here, but the monkey hut and other shelter stuff is done so its all just sparkles now, so excited to go. I am wondering which will get her first ste...

A little off topic maybe but I am beyond excited to visit retrofrolic on the playa!

It is on the plug and play camps thread here http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic. ... 42#p816742

My understanding was that they were red, my apologies if I was wrong. My point was simply to answer the earlier question Is there any actual evidence that these "radical entitlement camps" are getting tickets? If you substitute the official term plug-and-play for the epithet "radical entitlement cam...

I dont know if its even worth mentioning but in an attempt to be on topic, janus states in the other thread that he did get tickets from the placement team, LNT be damned.

Thank you lemur for saying almost everything I wanted to say better than I could have said it. I wante to add that all my life I have believed in some things, and it always bugged me that people around me never seemed to understand. When I met burners and found out about TTITD I felt for the first t...

What is of interest to me is that there is a public comment period. I am working on a essay in support of burning man being allowed a full permit of up to 70,000 as someone who has not gone. I figure the more public support it get the better.

Since I cant do anything to stop them all I can do is shame them here is an even more vomitous vendor that says "Let us handle all the details so you don't have to!" and mentions being in the wall street journal. Warning may incite rage http://www.classicadventuresrv.com/burningman.html Also how to ...

I can't imagine my experience being the same if I had simply paid for a ticket compared to having to plan months in advance how to survive. For me that is part of allure. But to borrow a page from psychology things are valued more when they are hard to attain. This is, no offence, the mechanism behi...
