What a lovely gift. Thank you!

Absurdity Worm Hole made me giggle.

Ygmir, I stumbled upon this poem months ago on the web and your story reminded me of it: I LOVED YOU BEST So this is where we part, my Friend, and you’ll run on, around the bend. Gone from sight, but not from mind, new pleasures there you’ll surely find. I will go on, I’ll find the strength, life me...

Love the story. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear about your place burning down!

I'm not sure what you mean by DGS ticket.

Also, tickets were only recently sent out, so I'm not sure how you would have had a physical ticket in March.

Ahh I'm so glad this story has a happy ending! I was about to be so upset for you.

I observe you are being rude and snarky on ePlaya to a veteran burner. He offered a ride above BRC on ePlaya. Where's your gift? Clue, snark is not a gift. Our gift is wine, meat and cheese. Monday, Wednesday and Friday happy hours at 8:45 and A, please come by! I have also posted this in several p...

I heard there weren't going to be any parties this year.

I say go with the Galaxy Hut. It sounds like it will be a great way for you to meet your neighbors, gift some shade, and it sounds like the option you're most excited about. We are building one for the first time this year, and it only took us about an hour to put everything together. As far as tran...

Ano! Thank you so much for posting those, they really do help. Also, I love your bikes! On that note, I totally intended to post pictures last night but instead I had a full-blown project freak out and was nearly ready to scrap the granny bike and chop up the bikes to make a trike. This was followed...

I"m afraid I have nothing to contribute to the conversation but I just had to tell you how utterly adorable the doggie in your avatar is. Thank you! That's gustavh, aka Gus. He's a sweetheart :) Trial and error, and tons of it. We set up the bikes inbetween some concrete blocks to stay straight, an...

Thanks Ano! We're still working on the bike, and so far we've made lots of modifications. I'll post a picture soon and hopefully some of you can weigh in on the mods...

Do you have any tips for making sure the bikes are level while setting up on the playa? Did you use a square and a level?

I'd go with playatech furniture

and couches (a twin mattress fits perfectly on these) http://playatech.com/downloads/desert-daze-bed/

Just for reference, I'm 5'1" and I can ride the beast no problem if the seat is all the way down. We bought 2 and are turning them into a quadricycle :) It is pretty heavy though, so if you're worried about stability it could be a problem. I would def recommend seeing the Massif in person before pur...

thechainrule, I switched my boot laces to the speed laces you posted and I loved them! My hands were never cut by regular laces but they get chapped pretty quickly and it can be quite painful after a few days. I like those bungee laces because you can just switch them back to regular laces when you...

Ano, I'm starting to regret this purchase as well... giantlady, love that trike!! Before deciding on the granny bike, I searched for any side-by-side mods of a mongoose beast but couldn't find anything. I think people would be very interested to see instructions posted online and those who don't hav...

Thanks EspressoDude! Ok so we got the bikes and the kit. I'm chugging along putting it together. It turns out that my initial concern will not be a problem, the back piece will just be angled. However, I am scratching my head about something: In all of the pictures I've seen of the kit online, there...

I had my first BM stress-related nightmare of the year. This time I was pregnant and due to have the baby the week before BM started. Still, my plan was to have the baby and somehow make it to the event anyway...? ...what would Freud say? Interestingly enough, these BM stress dreams have pretty much...

Thanks for your reply, Eric! I feel as impatient as those waiting for tix! I offered them into STEP so someone could have the satisfaction of knowing they had tickets ASAP, rather than waiting for them to ship. I appreciate the input...I'll now return to watching the proverbial pot, already in prog...

Oh sorry! Toms are slip on canvas shoes (http://www.toms.com/women/womens-shoes/slip-ons). I wear em without socks on the playa (and off for that matter). I have never had a problem with playa foot but I understand this may be an issue for some people.

Here's what I do, along with some tips I've learned (...btw, this will make more sense if I start off by saying I'm a girl, gustavh is the pup in my avatar): -Wear loose fitting cotton clothes during the day. My day time staples are: sarongs, jumpers, boy-short style panties, bandeau bras, and somet...

Hey Zerh, I'm planning on catching the BE as well. I haven't had much luck finding a ride share as yet so I'm getting this as a back up. I was checking out Walmart in the area of San Fran and found a cool tricycle that would be comfy on the ol' behind.... But it's a bit pricey for someone who isn't...

Our first year we camped with a theme camp that had communal meals. One of the camp members had some sort of issue with salt, so there was NO SALT in ANY of the food. Also, there was NO CHEESE. One afternoon mid-week we wandered over to a friend's camp, where we were graciously provided with quesadi...

7deadlygins, we hope you come back to 8:30 and A as well! We were across the street from you in 2012, and you were such lovely neighbors .

Jake's Tent Charcuterie is hoping for placement at 8:30 and A for our 3rd year of wine and cheese happy hours.

I am in the same situation. I registered for 2 tickets and a vehicle pass, then my fiance was offered one low income ticket. Now I only need one ticket, I couldn't find any info either so I contacted ticket support and asked if I needed to change my STEP info. Ticket support responded saying there w...

Such awesome sawg this year. I hope everyone brings some to the M&G. Joel, as everyone has said, a well prepared virgin is one of the best gifts out there. Just bring yourself, have fun, and accept gifts graciously. Next year you'll have a much better idea of what you can do or bring. Remember, a g...

Genius, Figjam thank you!!

Hello playa bike builders! Has anyone used the granny bike quad kit (http://www.thegrannybike.com/index.html) on fat tire bikes, ie the Mongoose Beast? I'd really like to build a quadricycle this year and I think the granny bike is the easiest way to go, I'm just not sure if it will work with the be...
