"The Burner spirit means a synthesis between restraint and freedom, between voluntary subordination and conscientious leadership, between pride in oneself and consideration for others, between rigor and compassion. Unless a balance is kept between these qualities, the Burner spirit is in danger of ...

Engineer, man I feel your pain. All I want to do is build/fix shit this year on playa too. I got lucky; we got one ticket for my lady. So we are on. Hell, i postponed getting a new RV until I found out for sure we were both going, cuz if she wasnt then I sure as hell wouldnt. So when I hear that ca...

I got a post blocked. Even though that exact thing is posted in about three to four different discussion posts. You hear that giant sucking sound. It your system. I'm sitting on my ass texting and emailing the project heads asking what we are doing. Will it be the 20K upgrades to the art car or the ...

engineer: i'd say having a plasma cutter and welder on premise falls somewhere in between "quart-sized ziplock full of molly" and "nice rack and no sense of shame". you'll be fine. see you in the dust! God I hope so. If you make it. come by came charlie. 10 and G. ask for bender. I hook you up with...

Brilliant.

Brilliant.

Made me smile.

The questions you're asking have been asked and answered many times around here already. It's a matter of resourcefulness and what you're comfortable doing. Some camps/projects don't start doing anything until their slots are full, dues are paid, and all the money is raised. Others do some advance ...

And out of nowhere.....Ken Feldman....the dreamer of dreams and HMFIC of the camp told me to get a bicycle two weeks before Charlie departed. And why I asked. Because you need a bike to get around on the playa....and he handed me a ticket. Engineer, that made me choke right up. THAT'S a fucking bur...

Engineer, I have a story.... A couple years ago, i was building/fabricating a 3 link rear suspension set up on my 62 Impala ragtop. I had it all figured out, right down to the last Heim joint. I had, in my mind, built and designed the perfect set up. And it was, except for one glaringly obvious prob...

see i have a theory. There are artist and there are fabricators. There are true art cars and there are ruckus wagons. And there are a few glorious instances where these two meet up in complete union. I am a fabricator. Simple as that. Most of us are one or the other. Because it takes a lifetime of f...

Now THAT'S an effen joke. Yours.. not so much.

Mirth. Thank you.

So what you're saying is that even after the event had been sold out and nothing was available through official channels… you were able to get a ticket a mere two weeks before the event. Here is how it went. I joined up with a group who needed a welder. I fell out of the sky into the laps of a camp...

The tickets are not in the hands of scalpers.....agreed.

A success.

However

The tickets are also not in the hands of burners.

Which is more important?

The early bird gets the worm but the 2nd rat eats the cheese.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXcbj8-ILJw&feature=player_detailpage And i want to see charlie ride again. And i have done what has been asked. I relied on myself. Got into the lottery. And I accept the fact that the fates may not grant me the experience this year. I am still going to do everything ...

Everyone loves me. Thank you. I love you all. And I love welding for you. I really do. From some little spot weld to a weekend long project i never say no to a burner in need. It is my alchemy of metal that i give to the world. And yes the basic costs are expected. I even have the budget to get an i...

AND why i do this....because it is cool. It is fun to build something out of control. To build it safe. To take a 1979 Chevy truck and in a little over three months create Charlie the Unicorn Art car. And i had no intention of going last year. No money on the books. The camp paid for my ticket and t...

Tell me again how first come first serve is not fair? Tell me how the new system is working out just fine? Tell me how your gonna build your art project (the real kind with welding and fabrication involved) not knowing if your going to make it. Tell me how your doing your budget not knowing who with...

weld your own art. better start now. A group of 100 to 200 with a large art car project has only 15 people with tickets then time. Suck it.

the whole relax and it will all work out.....i respect your collective attitude....but i am hauling welding gear and all my tools back and forth to complete this art project. Welding is not easy. It is not fun.

Just glue it all together...why not.

I'm not welding a fucking thing for burning man until they sort this shit out. Let the dumb asses that think first come first serve is unfair. Your art is not going to weld itself for your festival......and i have enough going on between life and work and the project to have to deal with the fact th...
