BLM would be extremely shortsighted if they don't do a hard closure. I would be shocked if that's the case. However, if it's not closed... I'll probably be there.

The 2016 election will always be the one that got away, thanks to the DNC & specifically Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Still highly feeling the Bern in 2020.

Sure makes my open camp experience with friends & burners I've met along the way seem like the right way to go. Drink, be merry, serve drinks to strangers, play loud heavy metal, drink some more, serve some more, see art, make art, make friends, go home happy.

I see me! This is very cool. I always enjoy finding my camp in the satellite pic. This rendering is better than any of the previous satellite pics I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

Oh my. That description is so... cringe-worthy. Yuck. Pass.

Bad. Ass. When/where is this epic sounding Heavy Metal Happy hour??? Monday - Friday 5:55 to 6:66 (7:06 for the layman) at Slayer Camp. We’ve never put in for placement -regretting that this year with the minimal open camping area- but we usually aim for somewhere between 6 & 9, I & K. Look for the...

Awesome, I’m glad you dig em. Drop by Heavy Metal Happy Hour at Slayer Camp and getya one!

Edit: All over that Alex Grey listening party!

You should consider adding no pooping in the RV to your list of rules.

Heavy Metal Happy Hour approved!

Not helpful, but: OUCH.

I know Will Call is a bit of a disorganized clusterfuck... but man waiting on international delivery seems like a stressful ordeal. Especially with having to hope for delivery before flights and whatnot. The ticket fairy shall come through! It will be the best mail delivery you receive all year.

Right after gates open, there is space on the corners next to the portos. Maybe I'm being posh, but I can't bring myself to camp near the portos. I've experienced too many afternoon wind gusts wafting the smell of other people's hot shit into the air to do it. They are definitely prime targets for ...

Last year it was very difficult to find anything open early Sunday, this year will be flagged all the way out. Last year we got in less than an hour after gates opened & we had a hard time finding a 20 foot wide sliver of open land to set up our small camp. As much as I worry it may result in confl...

The likelihood of there being street front property available is likely zero. I would say your best odds are to look on the interior of the open camping blocks & try to find some open land in the middle of the block off the street. There tends to be SOME of that still available here & there but the ...

90-95% of requests are granted. For Maths, let’s call that 92.5% Not counting Villages ... 1750 x .925 = 1618 placed camps. 32000 DGS tickets. Divide the two numbers and you get ~ 20 tickets per placed camp on average. 32000 / 1618 =~ 20 So please tell me, what kind of fucking awesome could you bui...

Last year was brutal for those of us who enjoy open camping in the suburbs. I was in the city less than an hour after the gates opened and already the vast majority of open camping was being held. This year is gonna be tough for us peons.

Buying them is easy. They sell out but there is no mad rush, as their is for Main sale tickets. People are always able to sell them to other burners if they have extras. Prior to last year, many sellers were forced to sell the presale/DiVinci/FOMO tickets for less than what they paid for them, espec...

The new ticket vendor needs to bring on the green man as a consultant prior to next year's sale.

Nothing would please me more than to see the airport go away forever. Experiment over.

This must have been a low bidder cost saving measure. This sale vendor sucked way more than normal. Bring back the green man!!!

My girlfriend and a campmate were able to get tickets minutes ago. Got the zero option, refreshed, refreshed, refreshed, got tickets.

Go back to Ticketfly. This sale was a shit show. Error messages, time outs, false accusations of attempting to skip the queue!

I'm ok with this. They're not using Burning Man or any related / peripheral event related subject matter to promote themselves, just the name of their art car. I've seen other camps / art cars do similar things as fund raisers. If the flyer said something like "Your favorite Burning Man art car!" or...

comrades, your orders are as follows:

you know what to do.

Lots of this. Vice Theme 2019

Fewer general sale tickets available... so that's cool.

I'm with Lucky on this one. That's eeeeasy money. No way they'll pass it up. I don't mind the presale... except for when it's used as a "just in case" cushion for people who just sell them back immediately after they get a main sale ticket. If you can afford a presale ticket, get a presale ticket & ...

I would love to see a graph of my years plotted out depicting the amount of time I spend at camp. The time has definitely increased year over year. Time at camp sitting under my shade structure with my camp mates is always a major highlight for me. Same goes for getting more sleep every year. I know...

Decommodificatio above all else - no fucking services. Make BM hard to pull off, not Disneyland in the desert.

This was the crux of most of my answers. Burning Man is supposed to be potentially fatal. Stop it with the fresh fruit deliveries WTF!

I took this survey yesterday & was surprised by some of the questions asked. Some acknowledgement of some of the major issues that are souring burners to the burn. Whether it will have much (any?) actual impact on future camps / placement / behaviors / burns remains to be seen, but it's nice to be a...
