If you truly want to go that bad then you'll find a ticket - whether it's from a scalper or not. Brianna, you seem like a cool person but I really find myself disagreeing with this sentiment. As an international entrant, and loser, of the lottery, I was already looking at spending £250 on a ticket,...

Me. I didn't get tickets either.

Arghhhhhh nothing yet... There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling. It's a little big, but this one works for me. http://x6f.xanga.com/38df53e754332245509766/b194652100.gif Yeah that one works, thanks :mrgreen: Well I have to get to bed soon. It's almost eleven pm here in England and I have an earl...

Last time I checked, I didn't have a scrotum.

he did say 'some newcomers' and didnt seem to imply that you were one of them... only you know about whether youre one.. you arent the only newcomer to read eplaya, and wont be the only one interested in this thread As it was in direct response to a post I made, in which I mentioned Bob by name, I ...

With all due respect, some new comers remind me of scouts expecting to earn all available merit badges before their first scout meeting. In what way exactly am I doing that? I asked for clarification about what you meant, in what I thought was a concise and respectful way. You seem to have misinter...

Do you mean official greeting, Bob? Or the more informal kind?

I'm not gonna be able to help so much with practical hands-on things as I have serious tendonitis issues in both of my arms. Anything that puts more than a little weight or pressure on my hands and arms is painful. The doctors say there's noting they can do about it. I worry about not being able to ...

http://burningman.com/preparation/event_survival/playa_foot.html its not only hands.. but anything.. theres tons of info about it here on the forum.. i wear shoes and socks, not so much of a worry for me if i put on new socks every day but it KILLS my hands, the playa dust.. to the point of my firs...

Watch out for playa foot! Take good care of your skin out there.. Yeah, WTF is up with that? I keep hearing about playa foot. Apparently I need some vinegar? What's the deal with the dust? Someone told me it's "caustic." :shock: Just how caustic is caustic? *head scratching* Tamarakay, you painted ...

use yer imagination!

Yeah...not gonna be a problem for me, I don't do drugs either.

I was just hoping the other poster didn't mean, I dunno, some horrible playa disease that I have yet to hear about. There seem to be so many of them.

Not seen it. I hate Benedict Cumberbatch's face. I just hate it. I can't even explain.

I'm curious as to what you mean by this? Please explain.

I definitely won't be the hungover person. I don't drink a lot due to a medical issue. Plus, sense of responsibility, I haz it.

I'm excited!!

I think I'm starting to understand Fertility 2.0 now. It's about thinking outside of the box in terms of what fertility means. Growth, pollination, the spread of ideas, movements and attitudes...

Also, bee costumes, yes.

Hi guys. I'm reading through some posts in this forum and trying to reconcile the whole participation ethos with the advice everybody gives to newbies not to commit to anything in their first year. While I can very much see the logic behind advising newbies not to commit (apart from anything, I supp...

I actually love the idea of a Merkin March!!! Hahaha! One thing I really would love to see on the playa, but I'm not sure whether it's a good idea/people would go for it would be a sort of...musical flashmob. What I mean is, you know in musicals when everyone is going about their business and then t...

also worth noting is that any camp serving food to the public (or over 150 to their own private camp, as per 2011 rules) will have to have their permit posted in a very visible public place where anyone should be able to see it.. it is the first thing they wanted to see when my kitchen got inspecte...

I wasn't actually at all worried about the misting menace...I appreciate, as you guys have said, that transdermal absorption of a drug is not exactly an efficient route of transmission. It was more concern about food and drink being spiked...obviously a far more efficient route of transmission.

That looks badass. I am hoping to attend for the first time this year too.

I have the exact same problem Fixiekins. I too was hoping for the tix to be awarded before 1st Feb. :-/

Mr Trilobyte, please can you tell me if there's any way to contact the ticket people?

There's a burlesque CAMP? of course there is, why am I surprised, everything exists at Burning Man.

I wonder if these lovely Dark Sparkle ladies would be nice enough to befriend a British Birgin.

Thanks for the tip, veleda

I think the biggest thing here is verbal communication as someone already stated. "Are these special?" "Is there acid in the stew" "Is this going to f**k me up" are all relevant, reasonable questions to ask. If you get a giggle, wry smile, or wink, you may consider getting your cocktail somewhere e...

The self expression thing caught my attention some however. There was a lot of self expression evident in the art, the dwellings, the sculpture, mutant vehicles and in some of the clothing. But what really really struck me was a lot of the uniformness of the clothing. One day my "self expression" r...

I'm dying to know, does any burlesque performance happen at BM?

Thanks ygmir.

Ok, I'm sorry if this seems kind of a negative topic to raise, but I am sorta concerned about whether spiking of any kind goes on at BM. I understand that the event organisers do not condone drug use but I am fairly sure some must go on regardless. The thing is, I have never been into drugs, and tho...

Mdehfjhekjdhijsanjdhangshgahdgd every email notification...is killing me...come on come on come on...LOL.

Seriously every time I get a notification I instantly get super excited and then I realise it's just an iTunes receipt or whatever. Gahhh!

Hi, welcome to ePlaya! What they all said, though I'll add that there are numerous places to pick up supplies (and not just a Wal-Mart) in Reno. I can't imagine how the trip won't cost you thousands and thousands of dollars - even if you live in the US and have transportation, it can be an expensiv...
