I have had more sex with Aphex Twin than with any of those others.

I am sure you have. But I was not counting masturbation.

myself and two other people would LOVE IT

Add one more to the list who would love it.

I am planning to stick to the likes of Cal Tjader, Nina Simone, Johnny Hartman, Pizzicato 5, Mel Torme, Sergio Mendez, Luiz Bonfa, Bobby Darin, Anita O'Day, etc. You want hot? This shit is hot.

But raver chicks are hot.

Why else would I spend $250,000 on my custom Marathon coach with the rooftop spash pool and shower set up.

( Actually I have plans for my own mini-sound camp dedicated to Mel Torme, Nina Simone, Cal Tjader and the likes. )

inog, lending to your specific career, Attorney at Law What would be the ramifications if for example the terms of service had identified scalping as a breech, and Borg, scrubbed entry winners suspected of scalping, like multiple tickets going to the same PO BOX, and instead of issuing a ticket. Af...

Also of note - It can still be done this year.

It is not too late. And this would force all "scalper" tickets back into STEP.

** Personally I do not think the problem is scalpers. I think it is raw supply and demand.

I think you're applying too much faith in people's common sense. There'll still be a truckload of people with fake tickets showing up at the door. And even if you're right, what happens to all those people who have a crisis and can't make it at the last minute. They can't sell their ticket because ...

I wish all virgins were as quick to participate as you. But really, I wish all burners, regardless of their "seniority", were as quick to participate as you. I know a lot of people who just come to the party and have been doing so for years. They are spectators. I am a virgin. I will be a...

I assume you are aware of the balloon LED's generally available. Just google LED Balloon Lights. These are made to be dropped inside a standard 12" - 16" balloon and then inflated.

You can bulk in 200 unit lots for about $0.60 each.

Best of luck!

I was thinking about setting up a small sound system and spending a few evenings focusing on the likes of Cal Tjader, Gene Ammons, Nina Simone, Dave Bruback, etc. Something basic and along the lines of a retro-lounge feel. Not “chill” but “true.” I do not need a camp, I roll this party out monthly a...

BEHOLD THE DURIAN, KING OF FRUIT http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9a/Durio_kutej_F_070203_ime.jpg Seriously, I bought one of these monsters in college. You had to carry it in a mesh bag or it would tear up your hands. The smell is overpowering - it is actually banned in the subways o...

Looking to support constructive ideas - In some countries when you use a credit card to buy a plane ticket, you need to show up with a photocopy of the credit card to use the ticket. In the Burning Man scenario, the ticket purchased can be used by anyone, but you need to have a photocopy of the cred...

I do not think the current lottery system is the BEST option, but I do think it is BETTER than what happened before. I think the change was good. I think further change is going to make it better. I think people need to turn around and quit complaining about what is clearly an improvement, and inste...

The lottery is better than what was before. It has room for improvement, but it is an improvement. From last year on, there will (hopefully) never be a year when everyone that wants to go can go and there will always be people unhappy.

Real evidence that the lottery is better: look at how the “old system” worked for Coachella …. A quick review from today: Burning Man listings on Stub Hub: 79 Coachella listings for weekend one: 850+ (I would guess Stub Hub has already sold 1,000+ Coachella tickets, maybe much much more, but that is...

The scalper part is secondary, the demand > supply issue is the big one. We have gotten larger than the BLM will let our population be. Simple as that. Dead on. I was online for Coachella as the tickets went on sale. I waited 45 min online in que and still did not get a ticket. The first weekend wa...

If I do get a ticket, I will roll out the red carpet for you Burgins and would love some help. I have a feeling that this burn will be different but maybe even better than ever! Tazz ...and I'll help as I am able. I am with you on this. It will be different. Some camps will fail. Many will be rebor...

Time to make new friends...... That is a nice way of putting it. There are plenty of people with tickets. There are plenty of ideas. It is time to put the people together with the ideas. This looks like a prime opportunity for something new to take shape and see what grows in this "fertile&quo...

As a lawyer , I can't even begin to start with the ways this is misguided, wrong, etc. It reminds me of the stories of people wanting to sue because they did get the birthday present they were hoping for.

It's like... I dunno... being stranded on an island having one pigeon and one piece of paper, tying a "rescue me" note to the leg of a pigeon, then using the note to start the fire to barbecue the pigeon. Exactly.. but then throwing away the cooked pigeon because you can't find any salt....

88 out of 40,000 is not bad.

Or ... it could be the best ever!

I think the best system is to remove all independent means of ticket verification and send them out as PDF making the “hard ticket” worthless. The only legitimacy would be the source of the ticket, meaning you buy it from Burning Man, (primary sale or STEP) or someone you really really trust, as any...

Wanna totaly mess over scalpers – here is an idea - If you really want to have some fun with the scalper market, create a ticket system that does not have any independent means of verification. No hologram. No fancy printing. Just a very simple and very easy to forge ticket with a unique ID number. ...

If there are 50k+ tickets and 1,000 show up in the hands of scalpers, that is less than 2% of all tickets that end up with scalpers. Do you really think it is worth the added burdens and problems with non-transferable tickets and the issues with the added record keeping to avoid that 2%? Trust me, i...

I think the 2 tickets per person advance registration buy is a good mid-point. One per person is ridiculous and would require they dismiss the multi-entry safeguards they have as many couples have shared accounts, cards and addresses, essentially making duplicate purchases required for couples to at...

2 tickets. No donation.

Yeah, I was expecting something up there. Note: Limit exposure of carbon wrapped aluminum. Thanks.

Awesome that there is a DTA. PM on the way.
