Did someone see the suicide note? It said the following: "I am doing this because I have chosen to die in a place I love. I know many of you are too self conscious to look up and see my rotting corpse. It is just not cool. I might be messing with you heads. I predict no one will notice me for awhil...

man somebody seriously needs to go do wayyyy better drugs if they think this bullshit is worth shitting on. god what a turd of an idea. yecccch, what a rotten thing to see posted so soon after the Burn. easily the most worthless theme ever, takes it to a whole new level. and a loud "blow me" to you ...

sounds great. i'm all for variety out there, just kind of prefer that quality be part of the package. no bad genres/styles, just lots and lots of bad records in most of them, especially techno. I appreciate when somebody takes the trouble to dig out the good stuff. I wish bluegrass rave camp would c...

oh well. that's why when anyone asks "so how was Burning Man this year?" I always say 'well, I can tell you how MY year was, but you might hear 30,000 very different stories if you ask everyone else'... did you get any actual enjoyment out of blasting your daytime stuff beyond pissing off your neigh...

K4 you seem to want it both ways unjon likes to poopoo everyone, kind of abusive, and that's cool with you. but when I suggest others look up his record to put his aggression in context, you basically want to shut ME down. if he wants to run his mouth, I'm not going to try and stop him. but the dist...

I was quite pleasantly surprised at the overall quality of music this year. some of the best I heard was at LOTUS, where they had a rugged minimal variety of breaks (normally one of my least favorite genres, so endlessly inane) that just kept kicking our asses way out on the playa. Image Node had a ...

don't let this unjonharley douchebag get under your skin find some other posts by him to see what a bitter old fart he is the epitome of "more-playa-than-thou" he loves rules and regulations and that smug feeling of certainty you get by being oh-so-fucking-right, and loves to bray on when he sees an...

usually i hate breaks, such boring inane crap, but man oh man you guys had some seriously rugged minimal stuff that i just LOVED!!
I wan some of your mixes please!
can someone put me in touch with them?

thanks!

actually what i learned is coincidentally just about what Tom Robbins said at the end of the post about the hat. Ecstasy supposedly taught me that, but it's hard to implement or even remember what you learned on drugs, such as X and BMan. I want to learn to enjoy life, regardless of external circums...

so lemme get this straight, if I bring art to the playa, I'm a great guy, but everyone who stands around admiring it sucks?

yeah you'll be missed
sure you will

you're more fascist than you know

uh, literacy helps? because I didn't read my ticket? I put in my energy how I see fit, and anyone who thinks I need to justify my actions is a poor example of The Burning Man Spirit, as if that's something that would survive any attempt at definition. as someone once put so aptly, "any sentence that...

boy I sure got sucked into that one, if your mariage is sick, either fix it or break it off. Not wanting to "destroy" your wife is emotional blackmail by proxy (translation: your actions do not "cause" her feelings, and if she said they did she'd be guilty of manipulation, and you are just as guilty...

hmm, haul all the materials to build bike racks big enough to hold 2,000 bikes, then either remove or burn it when it's all done...

or people just get a clue and leave their piles further back?

thanks for the gentler option, but I still like the second one better

yeah "it's what you make of it" may be true to some extent, and this thread probably does happen this year, but this was my fourth burn, and it's the first one in which a large number of my veteran friends said they only had an okay time. No, I didn't have a big theme camp, no i didn't volunteer lik...

I am 100% with the original poster on this (except maybe the part about not wanting to get his robes dirty). every year it's the same predictable little dance, somebody gets the bright idea to yell sit down, and within seconds the previously-blissed-out crowd turns into a pack of self-righteous jack...
