Swiss researchers from the University of Fribourg received $100,000 from The Swiss National Science Foundation to study burning man and are now experimenting on hapless burners. Burners are being lured into the researcher’s facility with bright shinny objects then strapped to electrodes and ask to p...

Hi JMS A word of caution, do not over commit your first burn, the playa is harsh and many virgin burners end up in the infirmary due to exhaustion. Here's what you are getting into; the days can be over 100 deg. The nights can be below 30 deg. The soil is alkaline dust the consistency of flour. I ha...

Hi Blaine First of all thank you for your service. I am going to premise this with I am no expert on Burning Man, and I have yet to meet one. So in my very humble opinion Burning man is a platform or a canvas where you can safely express yourself (as long as you don’t harm yourself or someone else) ...

Lost my soul at burning man during a dancertonauts deep playa party. If fell on the ground while dancing and a naked girl grabbed it and ran away laughing. I chased her into a crowd and then lost her. I really need it back. I have had it since birth and have become rather attached to it. It is hard ...

If you are going to hand out food make sure you get a permit http://burningman.org/event/preparation/health-safety/permit-for-gifting-food/ .

“Dr. Baron von Realz Esq. most spectacular Steampunk Sideshow of altered reality and debauchery” will be back, hopefully on the art plaza again! We have lots of yummy events that are in the works.

I have no technical data on hexayurts failures but I do have real world experience. A few years ago I decided to build a hexayurt. Long story short I arrive on the playa a week early and as I was setting up the wind picked up before I could stake it down. It actually imploded, more or less blew up l...

I want to go to burning man

We purchased a 30 foot parachute for our 30 foot dome last year then our camp architect (every camp should have one very handy)informed me that because of the arc of the dome we need a parachute larger than 30 foot. We purchased a huge cargo parachute (I really do mean huge I think it is used for ta...

I have been the lead in a theme camp for several years “Dr. Baron von Realz Esq. most spectacular Steampunk Sideshow of altered reality and debauchery”. We specifically reach out to burners coming from overseas. Our team is spread all over the globe. I have a small core group of core people here in ...

Well then my advice is less is more. Nothing is best. Don’t over think it because you will be running around naked after a day or two anyway. Which is very comfortable and even if you are not fabulous on the playa you will be fabulous! Peace Dr. Baron von Realz Esq. “Participants become the art and ...

If you are comfortable at the burn you are doing something wrong. That said if you use a tent you will need some kind of shade for it, a pop up shade structure works ok but by 10:00 am you will be sweating. You really need a monkey hut for a tent but I will still be warm during the day. Some of the ...

The plaza are not for camping they are roundabouts some have art in the middle. The area around them is prime space reserved for theme camps.

I may be shooting you an email soon.

I wonder what Dr Realz would think of me.........

Sounds good. Two for one what a deal

Are you seeking volunteers to help build housing for Burning Man artists, or for your campmates?

Burning man artiest, well I guess we are all artiest, but no it is not for my campmates.

It's not really important, but... I question the whole feel-good reduced carbon footprint biz. Is it less carbon footprint for you to transport the shelter than it would be for an artist to do it? The stuff is coming on someone's truck! Do you really think anyone who was coming in an air-conditione...

Who and where are these Artist being recruited and how do you plan on getting your Idea out there? are you actively approaching project leaders? I wonder about this, too. It occurs to me that any artist with a ticket is probably already trying to nail down his or her sleeping arrangements already. ...
