Hey Elliot, you ever get any farther south to Glen Eden or Olive Dell? or hit any of the nude beaches south of Santa Barbara? I love Bates beach and just hope we can keep it nude. Haven't made it to Laguna del Sol yet and will keep an eye out for Naked Man next year.

I wonder if you could make a playa shade structure out of those, covered with a tarp or the silver netting stuff. I'd add a string of random blinking lights behind just the synapse parts. And chasing lights down the synapse connections arms. would be something to sit back and stare at.

Wow Trilobyte, that is truly
breathtaking,
awe-inspiring,
magnificent,
wonderful,
amazing,
stunning,
staggering,
stirring,
impressive,
and just really kewls.

I feel the same way about not wanting stuff blowing into a neighbors camp, let alone damaging anything in mine. Plan to tie down camp anytime not using stuff. Hope when I do get to the playa that my neighbors feel the same way.

I was borrowing an RV and contacted my ins co USAA. They gave me a 'rider' that covered the RV etc. but not loss of use like hotel rooms and another way home etc. They suggested and additional 'travel insurance' policy from a 3rd party company just in case. They ran less than $100 for peace of mind.

Always wait till the last minute to get tickets. Buying them at inflated prices from scalpers is the 11th principal of Burning Man. Just don't resell them for profit. That's always lame.

last item on my list... sell my tickets :( The 'free use' of a burner's RV and BM camp set up is a no go. He'd not used the RV in several years and didn't realize how bad of shape it's in. I'm in Los Angeles, if you know any one who needs 2 tix and a car pass at face value, let me know. Maybe next y...

I think you are... what night was that again?

I've tried'um, do keep longer, but didn't time the days. not sure how they'd work in a cooler though.

Thanks for the reminder

naw... tell them to try to make dust with the bucket and judge them on their choice. Kicking, lifting, etc.

Helllooooooo! Eplaya! [First, ever Eplaya post!] A question for the veteran lag bolt-ers out there. I'm looking to drill in some 3/4" x 24" lag bolts into the playa. Could it be done by one of the cheap-o Harbor Freight Impact drivers? http://www.harborfreight.com/power-tools/drivers/12-in-heavy-du...

He's a friend of Procrastinating Man, who keeps putting off posting, let alone volunteering.
And Apathetic Man, who just doesn't care about the name at all.

I think he's Nihilistic Man.

That's the perfect way to say what I and I"m sure many others are looking for in a neighbor hood camp.

My FIGJAM bucket cooler works! Small pieces of the mat got in the tubing and clogged the holes, but after cleaning that out it pumped well. Any body see this at home depot? Glanced at it briefly, looks like they are using the fig idea. Uses a 18 volt ryobi type battery. 99 bucks Yeah, saw that last...

I agree Ratty, this is the first board I've used that has it installed! I've got a used pool solar bubble thingie they use to let sun it and keep the water warm. I've used it in the past between the roof and a silver tarp. learned after the first campout to make sure there is space between the bubbl...

3 cheers for burning man. Home of unadulterated, unrenewable energy. Hip hip hurray. (my pile of batteries is at least that big). Unforetunatally my pile is about as big.
