Sounds like an amazing project. Good luck!

does anyone know? are "streets" the radials and "avenues" the spokes? http://www.burningman.com/themecamps/2013_BRC_plan-zone.html The link you provided appears to answer the question. The Esplanade is described as the "first street." So I think that means the radials are streets. 3:00, 4:30, 7:30,...

I have never gone solo, but I think it would be great! Many of my favorite moments on the playa have been when I spend time wandering without my friends. I would recommend that you find a home base befoere you go. A theme camp without much responsibility, orphan camp, or a village. This will give yo...

Meanwhile...I'm looking over at Stubhub...their tickets are tempting. I say this as a friend: "Shut your f***ing face about Stubhub and simmer down!" Grab your timestamp and get on board the STEP train. It may take a while, but it will work out for you. In a worse case scenario (won't happen), over...

Ass-to-mouth with 7 people in the RV? These aussies really know how to burn!

Last day of work. Funemployment for a month before I move on to bigger and better things! I think I might squeeze in a little BM time.

I think everyone who wants to go is already on the bus. I don't think any STEPchildren are being left behind. Praise the Almighty Timestamp!

"9th year of NOT getting to BM." That sounds an awful lot like a frequent eplayan, whose name I shall not speak.

Victoria, don't give up! You will get to Bel Aire, then defeat Sweden, then finally make it to Burning Man. In that order.

I check this link a couple of times a day and most of the time it looks dusty out there. http://blackrockdesert.org/friends/playacam Figjam, I have been watching too and it looks like it is getting dustier, maybe it's just smoke though. Only about a week ago you could see the mountains in the dista...

Great news! I was able to secure tickets for camp mates in need. The tickets came with a fireball! The playa provides, problem solved.

Wedeliver, I am looking forward to meeting you on 8/24. Thanks in advance for the gift!

Bioluminati. Somewhere near Center Camp.

Fuck yeah, Simoneski!

I am planning to if other obligations do not get in the way.

Indeed. Time for a role call. STEP children that are still waiting for the bus to arrive, please identify yourselves.

...EVEN though it's a good ticket and DID NOT come from a scammer. How is the person who sells the ticket supposed to help the bids from going up and up?? Is it fair to cancel a ticket that was ORIGINALLY purchased in the beginning and then sold again because they could'nt go? How is it fair to can...

Just bought some dust masks, and wondering if they are okay for the playa... are they "strong" enough or have a high enough rating, etc: http://www.amazon.com/Tekk-8661PC1-A-Home-Dust-5-Pack/dp/B000BQSXCU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342617285&sr=8-1&keywords=home+dust+mask+3m they are "home dust masks"...

-bring an excessive amount of party lighting on all camping trips.

Boom!

Folks, it's gonna be dusty this year... Thanks for the update, I enjoy hearing reports directly from the playa. The alarm bells have been ringing for awhile now and I intend to be over prepped to handle the conditions. I bet we see a thinning of the masses prior to Saturday as some inevitably show ...

Bringing awesomeness to the playa certainly costs money, so I don't fault anyone for creative financing. However, I absolutely agree that the line bumping tickets are not good. If the project is fully financed this way, it will end up creating an exclusive private bar. Not cool IMO.

I am lucky enough to still be able to enjoy the smell when I turn on my car's AC.

Absolutely! Everyone, including myself, reacts like this to getting a STEP ticket.

In an effort to maximize the meaning of this year's theme, contraceptives are officially banned this year. Anyone caught trying to sneak condoms through the gate will be denied entry.

Considering that I'm at 12:21, it is doubtful that STEP will ever get to me. Don't give up hope moonwatcher! Obviously you should look at all possible avenues for tickets, but there is still enougth time for STEP to get to you. My guess is that waves of ticket offers will keep coming every 72 hours...

It sounds like a toss up between the van and meet and greet as to where I am more likely to be molested. I hope to attend the meet and greet and maybe find the van too.

That's what I am talking about! I would feel the great joy I am looking for if I got a ride in that van.
