Im down for whatever. Since Im going solo, Im probably just gonna wander to my hearts content and check out everything I possibly can. I plan to do some hiking in the black rock too. How big is your camp? Ill definitely bring beer or food...actually both. Im always hungry anyway. What kind of beer d...

Hello friends! :) This year will be my 7th burn, but my first trying to balance a full-time school schedule with my week on the playa (this year Burning Man overlaps exactly with the first week of the fall semester at my school). My class load is likely to be fairly heavy (Integrative Physiology ma...

thats debatable.

Radical Inclusion -- 
Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community. I SUPPOSE that, uh, you know, it applies to ePlaya, too... I guess... even if you are an trollish asshole... So, POST ON, you fuckin' troll... N...

It's as if the whole thing could serve as some kind of lesson in the use of potentially insulting or inflammatory remarks in an introduction post... sorry you have trouble reading. re read my intro post and think about it again. it was definitely not an inflamatory post. your selective brain just p...

NWO, you don't want to miss this concert ... the Crescendolls are the closing live act on the main stage but none of these people will tell you that straight up! Also, despite what anyone says: TAKE THE BROWN ACID! hahaha! i will be going to burning man sober, but thanks. never heard of the crescen...

i notice a common trend on forums...4/5 people are ass holes. responding is useless! no one is like "sic opinion dude! now come check out all this awesome electronic music I listen to and be free!" no one says "i feel the same way. I feel ya brother" i have like 2 positive comments on this entire th...

okay i am putting this TO REST once and for all...so much hate mail over an OPINION of ONE MAN!!! I mean what the fuck is wrong with you people? I am just trying to introduce myself and socialize within the forum. Electronic (music) is shit. Everything else is good. It's my opinion. I respect you li...

this thread burns my bottom.............the more i think of it the more i hope NWO is joking it pains me to the core.... I think we have all seen people misunderstand what this event is before going there themselves.. I think i would rather people believe it is a drug fueled atheist sex orgy than h...

Bravo! I wouldn't even fathom that someone from a festival like this would even know who Bach was, let alone a harpsichord. . LOL! Man!! kids say the darnest things. Music is any agreeable (pleasing and harmonious) sounds. One person certainly cannot define it for the rest. I am no musician and I a...

I am currently listening to a recording of a counter tenor (burner) performing a Baroque opera; the period instruments, played by friends/colleagues/someburners, are actually in tune, the musicality is beautiful... I love baroque. I love opera. I've never heard baroque opera?!? What are these wonde...

I wouldn't even fathom that someone from a festival like this would even know who Bach was, let alone a harpsichord. you have a lot to learn. Yeah, someone who has admitted they have never been sure has a lot of opinions on who "we" are. If NWO makes it to the event, and does it with an open mind, ...

Bach was an organist and composer as well as a harpsichordist... And it is only as a composer we know him. There are no recordings of him at any keyboard. We don't even know exactly how that Klavier was tempered. Good point. But I think that this really gets to the heart of the issue. We say Bach i...

Welcome to the eplaya forums. *waves* ... after checking all the forums I can't find how to volunteer. I was also wondering that if you volunteer is it possible to get a cheaper BM ticket? I think you can volunteer with some theme camps to get a discounted entrance ticket. the volunteer commitment ...

Not that I don't "respect" what anyone has to say or their right to say it. I just don't find the poster above you to be earth shattering in said statements.

It isn't. :/

Electronic pisses me off; being a musician, it is a cop out to say that mixing random sounds to a beat suddenly makes you a musician. To me, musicianship takes skill and a life time of practice at mastering not only an instrument and the technique, but the theory of why things sound pleasing to the...

Keep tellin yourself that, man.

"true music" how stupid can one post get. you can take youre music snobbery and shove it!! "i like all music.. except.." i hope this is performance art because it truly nails this type of personality.. if so, good one.. if not.. sheesh.. you might think youre showing us how worldly you are but real...

dancing at burning man?! not to that crap... point me to the nearest ballroom.. maybe in vegas. i wouldnt step NEAR one of those places, not only is the so-called-music amateurish droll noise but the architecture is just disgusting... i mean they are mixing neoclassical styles with Bedouin designs?...

lol.. that's quite a stretch there, bro. It's taking all my power to button my lip right now. Y'all have fun with this one :D Agreed! Lets get wasted and go dance to EDM tell we sweat like a pig in a slaughter house. I hate alcohol. I'll have a beer and then get really high and me and my friends wi...

You should watch Ken Burns documentary on the history of Jazz. It will open your eyes to things that you didn't know about music.

Welcome to ePlaya. Is the RZA a "musician"? He certainly doesn't strum a banjo, but he makes some great beats, no?. GZA is an MC from the group Wu Tang Clan. He's a hip hop MC. I know Hip Hops roots actually go way back to the civil war and stem from jazz and blues which came from mixing african sl...

I get it, you clearly have no understanding or appreciation of electronic music. Good for you. In addition to the thread Savannah linked to, you can get a lot of other information about volunteering from the main/home page of the site. Ticketing info is in its own section, though the low income tic...

Yeah, you're pretty much not going to get a ticket this year by volunteering. Depending on department you have to finish multiple work shifts this year for a discounted ticket next year . Any variations of this that I'm aware of, I'm not going to say a word about, because I don't want to give peopl...

Hi Evan! I think you're the first person to quote Coldplay in your introductory thread. :lol: (I'm easily entertained.) Here's a thread with lots of information about the ticket situation as it pertains to volunteering, including links to the volunteer pages. (The short answer? Register for a ticke...

First of all I just wanted to say that after checking all the forums I can't find how to volunteer. I was also wondering that if you volunteer is it possible to get a cheaper BM ticket? I don't have a lot of money to spend on going to things like this because I am a full time student. I don't want t...
