Hey folks, 2005 will be my second year on the playa. I would love very much to create my own great work of art for the lovely citizens of BRC to play with. Alas, I have not the resources this year. I'm looking for peeps in the Northbay, Sonoma, Marin counties or therabouts, who need help working on ...

Wow!!!! This thread and topic has gone off the deep end. It seems that many of us are trying to assign specific meaning to an event that is really about celebrating human expression and the ways in which this type of celebration builds strong community through mutual awe and respect. i don't underst...

But don't get me started on the t-shirt with no pants. That's a whole 'nother thread.

Yeah. What's up with the donald duck outfit? Seems one wouldn't want a toasted penis. I can only imagine the pain.

After rereading that last post, I realize that proofreading is a very important habit :D Sorry for the typos

having been initiated into the Burning Man community so recently, i'm really happy to see the amount of love that all of you feel for this event. I know I posted a similar sentiment in a former post, but seeing the amount of emotion ad thought that has gone into so many of you'r satements just makes...

give up on your expectations and your experiences will become brighter and more focused.

OK. Well like I said i was just curious and geekster does have a point in that the big dance camps do seem to attract spectators. I personally love to dance and i really like electronic music to dance to. It can all be quite a distraction when you mix in some really good drugs. there's nothing like ...

everyone has their tastes. I dont think any regulations will be put into effect anytime soon. We will see

No bans on anything. just getting people involved so that they can feel a sense of envestment. It is about radical self expression. Correct? I just think it's dificult for people to come out of their shell. We need a kick in the ass sometimes.

Playasnake, Are you talking about the masses of uglyass tricked out Honda civics roving here and there eachone exactly the same except for the nauseating pastel colors and lettered logos all over the body? Are you fucking kidding me? What are you talking about? maybe elaborate a bit. i wasnt trying ...

Thats much different. look at Mutaytor. They rock and they're fun to dance to and they appeal to the rave crowd. Its almost all live performance though. good shit

It would kill attendence. you'r right. i think it would cut attendence by close to half

Oh and I wanted to say that its nice to see the amounht of love and dedication for the event that alot of you have displayed in you'r various posts on this thread. As long as people love it, as more than just a big party, I think it will get better and better.

Cheers!!

Rob and Geekster, I love it. these kids (rave generation) have lived their whole lives with everything given to them. Everything laid out for them. They don't know the word Create. Under 30 is the ADD generation. They don't know how to make art, but they want to!!! i'm telling you they want tto. It ...

the rave scene inhibits creativity and participation. Its true. I loved dancing in the clubs, but usually didnt hit them till one or two in the morning. I hate to miss all the stuff that goes down out on the playa after the sun sets. Well really geekster, Its to bad for the ones who only hang out in...

Thats certainly an idea, Geekster. Someone should try that. Techno, electronica, house, breaks. Same difference to those who don't like the stuff. So, you really think it's killing the event? Music and dance are both art forms. And electronica can be quite creative at times. beleive it or not. I act...

Im just curious. I kinda like the all night clubs. Although, it would be very nice to have a few more alternatives in the line of dance and music, but thats completly up to the participants to make that happen now isnt it? Personally I think more Jazz clubs would rock. More funk and soul would be fu...

Do you really have a genital ID card? I can only imagine how helpful that could be. Anyway, your very cute and I had a great time reading your blog. See you next year SuzyQ. Bye now

If you marry that dog, I want an invite to the wedding. Freak!!! Oh , and I meen that in the most affectionate way possible.

Captain, If there is need of more slaves next year I would be more than happy to oblige. catering to 2000 partially clothed burner women seems like something I could do for a living.

What A thorough response.

Ice is essential if you are staying in the desert for a week and you want to eat decent food. Ice sales dont smack of commercial chain shops. Coffee would be provided by citizens if they did not sell it it center camp. It sucks even having to take money out and look at it while your on the playa. It...

[quote="theCryptofishist][/quote]I don't know. Think of the effort involved in such tombic projects as the Pyrimids and the Taj Mahal. Although the 2nd only turned into a tomb during the lengthy building project.[/quote] Did they try to burn the pyramids after they finished them? I don't recall read...

Tracer rounds and gasoline sounds like fun also. Oh, to see those old days. It's amazing you guys rarely hurt anyone.

Yes. this thread went to hell real fast. Burning metal is always fun though.

Do cultures usually spend four months building a funeral pyre? I dont know. And arent they usually just a bunch of sticks? Really, I dont know.

Fuck respect and reverence at the temple burn. the temple burn itself is a slap in the face of all thats considered spiritual or holy in the outside world. Lets build a big fucking beautiful structure and then burn the thing to the ground two days later. One of my best experiences at the burn that n...

Dont cry it will be ok really. I promise.

So, a metal sculpture won't burn? Thanks geekster, for the input.
