Haven't been on eplaya in a while. Stopped in to see the pulse of it. Gotta say that post from Eric above hits the nail on the head. About as close to reality as it gets. The straight truth is there aren't nearly enough tix to satisfy demand. It is an undesirable fact. But in terms of certain camps ...

Strong Tom...the strongest of all Toms.

RIP. You are missed.

Bummer that they won't be back this year, but it certainly won't change things mucha s there are plenty of other options and I'm sure theat many of the OT crew/artists will be looking for other ways to help out! Great works last year to the entire crew! Let's bring the Temple of Boom back! Seems li...

Wow! I sent the inquiry and received a response within minutes with confirmation of a revised delivery address.

Kudos to BM Ticketing! I know you catch some flack, but that follow up was A++ service! Seriously, that was awesome.

Is there anyway to confirm a mailing address after the change of address form is faxed into HQ? I received a a confirmation from the fax service that the facsimile was successfully transmitted, but I did not receive a confirmation from bm.org noting that the mailing address was changed.

Trainwreck waiting to happen.

Well you got mariachi-punk w/ Mariachi El Bronx

Uh, get your crunk cup, gold grille, and baggy pants out because there is going to be a ton of trap music this year.

Don't know if anyone posted this revelation yet, but believe me....it's coming.

That reminds me of another good time - Saturday night pre gate opening I was wandering around with my son looking to get into trouble and followed the music to Dis)'(rak's camp. Never did find my way back again when they were open, even though I could see their camp from mine 1/2 a block away. I kn...

Worst: Our neighbors flying carports during the Monday wind storm. Yes they lost (2) due to piss poor anchorage. Cracked my campmates windshield, dented another campmate's truck, and damn near pinned a small girl to a box trailer. Luckily she got out of the way...barely, and only suffered a spraine...

Awesome, and thanks for bringing the birgin energy into the city. I for one know that it helps the old timers and veterans get re-invigorated about the burn. I have two responses to your post. 1.) I have greeted before and have spent way too much time thinking about this, but I'm not convinced that ...

I thought the playa had a lot less interactive art and nightime gahering areas this year and the sound camps seemed to be more of a focal point for communal gatherings. Basically, it felt really ravey this year. It's always hard to recall, but it seems like I used to meet a lot more people before th...

No - Apex the psy-trrance DJ.

I asked in another thread if it was going to be the DnB Apex...looks like I got my answer here.

I was seriously hoping I was gonna hear some deep tech DnB - Brit style.

very pleased to see fewer big names than last year (big name defined as: someone I've heard of). The "gotta go see the <whoever> concert!"vibe was harshing my mellow. Yeah.. honestly.. I can count the "big names" on one hand this year.. which I'll call as a good thing! As much as I love seeing worl...

Youtube NOISIA, BTK & Optiv, Mefjus, Upbeats...these guys are more into the neurofunk, and deep/dark tech dnb (NOISIA is crazy all over the place). Stuff is closer to metal than most electronica. I used to not like electronica when I first went 11 yrs ago...now I DJ DnB...go figure. BTW...I live in...

I am a big time Slayer \m/ fan myself, and also am a drum'n'bass head. DnB is typically fast breakbeats at ~170 bpm, so it probably would be a good fit for you. Aphrodite - Opulent & Root on different days. From my limited electro experience (by limited, I mean burning man last year), it was the fa...

BRC doesn't share in my usual brand of musical preference (my Slayer flag will be flying over my camp), any good recommendations for whom I should make a point to catch while I'm out there? Crystal Method is an easy one, REALLY digging The Gaslamp Killer so far (thanks homiesinheaven)... who else? ...

Got a text msg this AM from a campmate currently on the playa for Temple Crew that read: "His tent tent got blown the F**K up and he had to to back to Reno to get another..." And the guy that got blown up is a veteran burner that spends 20+ days a year on the playa, so you know he was strapped in pr...

Can't help myself but...Schadenfreude.

I love this post. Ditto...ditto...ditto.

Already happening on auction sites; I'm seeing tickets going below $320, and most of these tickets will be at the $320 tier or higher. Now with shipping time becoming an increasingly anxious factor, folks are probably going to be happy to just break even. I love it that some of these people had over...

I'd praise Fido for leaving the other one alone. Good Boy!!!

Dog ate the one with no staple holes. Not even a dog would stoop to the level of touching a previously stapled ticket

Ok, so I swear I got an Atomic Fire Ball one time...am I crazy? Is it always Lemonheads?

Edit: Dammit, I just read the other thread. D'oh.

Good luck 18ers!

Disco - you from Ventura? I lived there for 16 years. Well, sort of. From Thousand Oaks in Ventura County. Ventucky is a Ventura-based camp with members also scattered around in Camarillo, Santa Barbara, Ojai, Simi Valley, and even a handful in LA. Do you know any of us? LOL at ventucky!! I grew up...

Thank you all so much for the kind words and support! This burn is going to mean more to me than I ever could have anticipated! I can't wait to meet all of you at the meet and greet. I will be the guy with a shirt that reads 12:17:? Actually, if you rock that hat and glasses people will know instan...
