Re: Your 2012 Burning Man anthem..

had to be this one... heard it at least two or three times a night at difference dance camps or off the big sound cars, and danced my socks off every time. Beatles + house music = WIN.

Re: Anyone else actually EXCITED for BM 2012

Hope so too Mojojita! Whoever it is, they are going to get some serious bloody hugs.



have just read this again and realised that I sound like something from a slasher movie.

Re: An Open Letter to the Burning Man Community Re:2012&Tick

This is a pretty interesting discussion. Regarding the whole transatlantic 'snark' thing... my own view is that it's a welcome change from the usual stuff you encounter in the States, especially on the west coast. While I'm a big fan of many of my American friends' can-do attitude, positive spirits ...

Sure. Bovril and tequila. This is a good combo.

Re: So what are you doing for the Meet & Greet in 2012?

How long what will last? The red carnation, the newspaper or my classiness? Maybe if I bring an umbrella they'll all last a little longer? Also... I'd be happy to rig the betting if someone offers me half their winnings.

Melanie... I actually prefer Bovril. I know, sacrilege!

Re: So what are you doing for the Meet & Greet in 2012?

Hello folks. I was frogmarched over here, on pain of death, and told in no uncertain terms that I should introduce myself and let you all know I'd love to come to the Meet 'n Greet this year. I shall bring tequila. It might even be cold. I will be wearing a red carnation in my top pocket, and holdin...

Re: Advice on renting a trailer

Thanks to everyone for the various bits of advice. The box van sounds like a great idea - Budget seems to have some pretty good ones available, so that looks like an excellent option. Not sure about actually setting up inside the van though, I think it's actually pretty nice to be exposed to the ele...

Re: Anyone else actually EXCITED for BM 2012

OK I have to pipe up on this one. We're coming with a small crew, and for most of us this is our first burn but I feel like I've been waiting for it all my life. This has been over ten years in the making, I've wanted to go to Burning Man since 2001 when I came across it in a long-forgotten article ...

Re: Advice on renting a trailer

@mshaman... thanks so much, that's pretty helpful. Not too sure about those enclosed trailers - in the past we've used something that looks a little more like this: http://www.trailarent.co.za/images/trailers/trailer_lrg_halfton.jpg This usually allows us to stack everything up, and when all the awk...

Re: g'day/howzit from Melbourne/Cape Town

Of course. How else would we pay for the Burn? :shock: Welcome to the board. (The ePlaya Meet & Greet will be Thursday of the Burn, probably @ 6pm, at the Barbie Death Camp and Wine Bistro. Address to be announced.) Thanks! Not sure if I'll be able to establish enough of a presence here for anyone ...

Advice on renting a trailer

Hi all! Like someone further down on this forum, I've been wanting to come to Burning Man for close to a decade now. I remember reading about it in some obscure corner of the internet back in the early 2000s, and promised myself I'd get there as soon as was humanly possible. Easier said than done th...

[/quote] Baker Beach![/quote] Good point... not even here for a few hours and already I'm displaying my profound ignorance of Burner lore. That said... it's close enough right? Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome though. Amazed by how quick that was - does anyone on ePlaya actually do any real w...

We've all burned before at out various country regionals ( Afrika Burn and Burning Seed ) but with one exception this will be our first time to the mother ship, Ground Zero, aka The Place Where It All Star...
