My biggest misconception my first year was that I would be attending all kinds of events and theme camps that I had been reading about for month previously. I had not yet encountered the concept of playa time, where everything takes 3x as long as it does elsewhere, and people you are supposed to mee...

I'd love to bring some stuff from Canada for trading and giving, but alas, that darn border! Last I checked you could still bring gifts across the border. The only ting I wouldn't do is print up 1000 matching t-shirts because they will assume you are selling them and taking $ away from hard working...

The protest in Vancouver seems to be run by similar nitwits, who have decided to tack on a whole bunch of other issues to the protest (afghanistan, palestine, native people in canada). Oh and of course they also have to protest 'US imperialism in Haiti'. Not everything is about 'US imperialism', kid...

From my very limited experience with DPW and the work ranch you seem to have an accurate idea of what things are like already (especially the hard drinkin' part). I know if that had been my first contact with burning man I would have been pretty shocked and surprised, since there ain't no peace and ...

I would say go for the road trip if that's what you want to do. Somehow it seems like cheating to fly. As you get closer and the scenery gets more and more desert-like and your excitement builds. Ok so my drive is 'only' about 20 hours, but manages to be filled with many (mis)adventures (border cros...

illegal aliens i don't recall being asked for my social security # when they handed me some tip money. little did they know i pole vaulted over the us/canadian border in order to score some greenbacks.

can't really help you out with immigration questions (although maybe i should learn since i've had quite a few americans ask me about this in the past year). i also go to ubc, but i'm hardly ever out on campus because i do research at a hospital in the middle of the city. most of the burner/artist t...

there's an ottawa burner rep ([email protected].com). i think they have a semi-regular pub night, but i'm not sure since i got the heck out of town as soon as i graduated high school. i think there are only a handful of real live burners there. there's not a whole lot of fun stuff to do, but i seem ...

I drove up through reno in july and we needed to buy groceries. I figured we could just get off at any exit and it wouldn't be too hard to find something. I guess we got off at the special liquor store and strip club exit because it was definitely the creepy side of the tracks. Generally gave me the...

Chupacabra policia are mostly DPW types who dress mad max meets SWAT team and generally act like they're badasses. They were at camp baghdad at around 8 and the esplanade this year. Supposedly they are there to protect innocent goats from being defiled, but i think their main goal is to piss off the...

Herself, weren't you supposed to fight Grace whatshername (of the yuppie slime comment) instead of mayfield? I'll take on anybody myself, but i have a feeling that i'd get flipped upside down and stuck like one guy i saw this year. There was a big flame war on the seattle bm list about a month ago w...
