Wedeliver, thank you so much for this offering! It was great to meet you last year! Not sure of our plans this year just yet, but hopefully an overnighter will be in the works.

I had no idea camps charged that much! Thats crazy!

Day 5 Map our camp is Green and Day 6 Map our camp is partially yellow..... We racked and mooped for hours before leaving the playa! I don't see how we could be partially yellow. Also, weren't there only 3 open blocks between 4:00-3:30 C, D and E? These moop maps make it seem like there were 4 open ...

Sounds great wedeliver! I will give you a call when we expect to arrive!

Thanks again!

I was driving westbound through the Southern California desert near Blythe on I-10 yesterday. A storm rolled in from the south and the wind gusts were so strong it blew over 4 tractor/trailers that were rolling down the interstate. It was all in the matter of minutes and the storm was gone. Freaky! ...

Love this post! It gave me the chills, misty eyes and butterflies all at the same time!

We take an RV, but only because its offered by my beloved Mama. She loves that she doesn't have to clean it at the end of her camping season (because its pointless really before the burn) and it's returned spotless to her. Win-Win. I do admit though that I feel like I'm cheating for having never exp...

Wedeliver, any chance you'll have room for a semi truck and 53' trailer to get in and turned around without harming grass ect? We'll have precious cargo! NW Art Installations just waiting to be set up on the open playa! We intend to pass thru the 21st, 22nd, or 23rd. Thanks so much for this wonderfu...

...and so it begins anew. I'm glad I'm not the only one! I have it sooo bad this year! My husband and I are gifting our semi truck/time to haul art installations to the playa and Im worried sick that something is going to happen to make us late! It's not quite as stressful when you don't have peopl...

Nice!? But I'm hoping to witness this "eplaya snark," that you all are so famous for in the flesh. Snark will still be present, right?! I hope so.

I now request power tools for my birthday. I've got shit to build!

Trilobyte, they look incredible!!!

<bump> I can't believe there aren't any Punjabi single males (or at least males from India by way of anywhere else in the world) who wouldn't want to be part of The Punjabi Dating Game! We have as of now zero contestants, but have the fireworks and party favors all lined up. We could use your help!...

Are there a lot of eplaya newbies that go to the Meet and Greet?

I was wondering what are some of your favorite camps for the, "Other," music on the playa, aside from Center Camp.

The one with words. And live instruments.



I love electronic music, but I notice after a few days on the playa I'm anxious to hear other music, but it's not quite so easy to find.

those shots are incredible!

It's projects like this, and people like you that make BM the wondrous place it is.

I'm so happy that the characters on eplaya pushed you to stay with your vision because ideas like this on the playa are the best things to unexpectedly happen upon.

Being a long time househead, I was surprised at my lack of interest in sound camps my first year at BM. Even my husband, who dj-ed a couple of times, felt a little silly for being apart of the over saturation of edm on the playa. We both thought we would spend a lot of time in large camps where the ...

Hey, vaddyn, I know you're catching some flak in this thread, but know that we appreciate your being responsible and trying to convincing your campmates to step up. I know reading this and other, similar threads has reminded me to not once trifle with the dangers of the Black Rock Desert. Agreed! E...

I didn't realize it was this easy either! Adding lamplighters to my to do list!

Wonderful gift, wedeliver! We will have to stop in and see you!

Has anyone had any luck with some of the solar flood lights out? I plan on using them to light up a sign from the inside (sort of a shadow box sign) so Im hoping they will be bright enough....

Thanks!

You, my dear Frank, are AWESOME.

The camp I would have participated in isn't going to be making it to the playa, so I'm trying to figure out what the heck I'm going to bring/do/create for this years burn. I need a little help with a couple of ideas, so I have come to the professionals..... :D My first thought, is a sort of "Burners...

Our organizer for Couch Surfers camp said our camp was not chosen. I think our app was in a week and half before the deadline and she just heard back a few days ago.

Rites of Passage was my first burn and I was SOOOO lucky to get in 4 days early, along with 8 other virgins, to help set up our camp. (Our camp leader said we were the best crew Ever!!!) One of our veterans was going to Welcome when the gates opened so he asked us all to come along. What an amazing ...

Lots of small stuff that made my virgin year completely magic. 1:00am or so, we had just gotten into the city, 3 virgins, completely shit-scared because we felt like total outsiders (at least I did), trying to make our way to where the people we were camping with were. We were driving what I felt l...

Oh that made me smile all over my face! What a wonderful treat!

Many Many thanks to your camp!

Thanks for the info mshaman! I'm def going to check with the permitting/licensing director at our company to see what they suggest.

Hey WeDeliver! My Husband and I are long haulers and own our own semi truck. Do you know if we are volunteering our truck/drive time ect and not accepting payment if we still need our own Authority? We currently lease our truck to one company and run on their authority so I'm not sure how it works ...
