Its fascinating how things like coffee sales and rain can have an unpredictable butterfly effect. Along with weather I think another piggy back reason for a lag in ticket sales was the uniqueness of the Burn has shifted and worn thin for festival people. Unfortunately, for various reasons, a huge pa...

Happy Anniversary Comrades, fellow travelers, beautiful Burners, eplaya faithful. September 26, 2014. There was a lot going on after that year's Burn; festival versus direct action community, tourism versus creating, popsicle camp, Sherpa Gate, some realignment after the previous and before the next...

2025 theme for the Burn: "Stalker," from the Andrei Tarkovsky film. "In an unnamed country at an unspecified time, there is a fiercely protected post-apocalyptic wasteland known as The Zone. An illegal guide (Aleksandr Kajdanovsky), whose mutant child suggests unspeakable horrors within The Zone, le...

Happy Fall Mayday

Next year the rent on RVs will drop!

ROD'S ROAD RIP
Is there any truth to the story everyone is telling about the canceling of Rod's Road being the org taking an underhanded dig at Camp THREAT?

Me personally? At first I brought enough baby wipes for face, underarm, crotch, butt, feet wipe twice a day, morning and night. That, along with mopped up ice chest water, and the like. It's just over a week, I've gone longer without. Then out in the City whatever you can imagine and more, so it's p...

Blessing. Called it.

When did they sell out last year. Seems like the main sale went longer than normal. Did the 2 years of bad weather thin the herd? I was wondering this myself. This will be my first year and all research shows that tickets were difficult to come by. Got mine in about 20 ish minutes. Should this be a...

Any news from the front?

Looks like Paris better secure that sunrise set.

...and the bird you cannot change...

The eclipse had a touch of the same reverence, awe, and introspection of the Temple Burn. I had seen the previous eclipse on the way to the Burn that year, so it was all on my mind this year waiting to see the sun blotted out from the sky. We waited on the edge of a small lake in Ohio before the tot...

It's been a couple years now. My old camp went on without me. it grew, and evolved. While there are many things I'd do differently, and didn't agree with, the people in charge are very competent and know what they are doing. I have friends and family still in that camp, because it is a good camp. So...

Nine years ago today, comrades.
We had enough popsicles and sherpas

The Lost Continent

Have you ever been? Maybe brag about that first. Plenty of showers out there. Sounds like you might invision a filtration system so you can reuse the water? A lot of stuff happens out there without approval or permission. Is it that you want some type of formal acknowledgement from officials as to w...

interesting that we don't see climate protestors in China, India, etc., where arguably the worst violators are. They only do what's easy and gets them camera time. lazy narcissists. [/quote] I'm sure that China and India have people who are concerned and protesting what their countries are doing to...

Me: "Disaster", maybe not
Billboard, a week later: "Disaster" maybe not
Finger on the pulse

Well, that Dipshitlo comes to mind, as a representative of DJs as a whole. An archetype. Doesn't do any build or tear down, no moop sweep, no making grilled cheese. Attracts tourists. Scurrying off to some high paid gig. But, as with the flood, blessing or curse? Maybe it'll discourage other paid pe...

News from the Burn is very grim, friends. Already 3 cases of hippie cannibalism have been reported. Current conditions, they may be forced to ration the E. If no National Guard relief column reaches the playa soon, the celebrities could be forced to drink mimosas cut with Sunny D. From a story just ...

Disaster is too harsh a word, I know, but setting out contrasting perspectives here. And wading out before the playa even dries to slay the wounded innocent, classic LonesomeBri. Last year notified many that the Burn wasn't all fun and games. And now, this year, the rain. Recent history, there was a...

All camps are moving on playa right now.

The camps are on the move to the playa right now. You aren't going to reach them. Are you driving in? Bring food. Bring 5 extra gallons of water and a sponge. Don't count on a camp at this point. You will meet plenty of people regardless. Go

Are you prepared at all to take care of yourself? Tent or shelter? Food and most importantly water? How are you getting there? Most camps are on the move and won't have time to see this or respond. If you are prepared, just go.

Welp, we don't need to worry about Chairman Xi crashing the BRCCP: ... “ Cutting ticket prices is necessary,” said Xu Sitao, the chief economist in the Beijing office of Deloitte. “It is about stabilizing the burner sector and offering calibrated relief to local governments that are experiencing wo...
