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...

Plug n plays is how we get shit like this in the Temple: https://www.instagram.com/p/BnVSJJ3B4ix/ BLLLLEH!! This year was definitely the worst for witnessing lame photo shoots on the playa. Tons of it. All over the place. Next year (and all future years), I support a movement for increased photobom...

The event has been selling out since 2011, however prior to this year there have been quite a few tickets that popped up for sale in the month / weeks before the burn that wound up being sold below face value. Particularly the $1,200 level tickets, but even some of the presale $900 level tickets wer...

Avoid the blue flags, those are for placed camps (as far as I know) Later in the week free spaces closer to the Esplanade will become available I always enter the city as close to gate opening as possible. The past couple of years have been a sea of land grab with everything from blue flags (legit)...

Shyte. I saw that without even realizing it was colored for placement. Seems a bit... fuzzy this year.

Did the Org release the usual camp map with the purpled out areas showing where placed camps are versus open camping areas?

Last year my girlfriend brought small evaporative cooling towels for us to help with the morning heat. She also bought cool touch mats. The combo of the two were surprisingly effective.

Chiming in encouraging a shade structure... even a small one just to keep the morning sun off of your tent will make a world of difference. Monkey hut it up. A few lengths of PVC, some rebar, shade cloth & bungees. You'll be very happy that you did it. A fan is just going to be pushing hot air around.

I agree in general. However last year there was a guy in a suit & Trump mask standing in a cage. People were taking turns banging on the cage with a stick while "Trump" recoiled & cowered. I thought it was funny.

Echo to the wait comments. However, if circumstances may change that make you unable to attend in future years, just plan to go. Tickets always pop up in the waning months/weeks before the event for well below $1,200. People sell them at a loss every year. If you want to go, plan to go. You will alm...

All hail the greatest of all playa scooters. I love this thing.

AC, This is not a new suggestion. I've seen the debate and several mean ideas. That's what they are. Mean. Personally, would you crack someone's skull open or break their wrist for taking your bike? Some people would. If the answer is yes, (and understand I am not asking for your answer), then go a...

Thoughts, please. In the name of tomfoolery, combined with punishment for low down dirty scoundrels out stealing bikes, I've been wanting to do something like this for years. One lag bolt with some parachord tied to the rear of a bait bike. Would this make me an asshole or a participant? Stolen Bike...

I understand your frustration, but don't fret. There will be tons of these popping up for sale as the event approaches. Make all of your plans as normal and pay attention to the for sale board here. People often buy extra VP's "just in case" and then as plans materialize, they sell what they don't n...

To echo EGAZ's point on contribution Karma. I put in the work for my camp and for the city. I create on my own without relying on some camp I found on the interwebs to lay the foundation for me. Playa karma has come through three years in a row by way of rewarding me with tickets during the main sal...

Every year there are threads with people making suggestions for how to fix the "broken" ticket process. This is the absolute worst one I've ever read. I'm not joining some stupid f*cking camp just so I can go to the event. I camp with my friends and family. We do our own thing. We are self-reliant. ...

HOOOOOORRRRAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!

Yeah, not sure what's going on with it.

Crude Awakening is the best thing I ever missed. Looks amazing in the videos. Best thing I ever saw was the playa for the first time on the first night of my first burn. Pedaling out from camp after finishing our set up after dark, crossing the esplanade for the first time and seeing the splendor of...

Camped with synonymous across from anonymous for my first burn and spent a few evenings with anonymous pals. Great group!

There was a lot more nudity. A whole lot more.... People felt like they COULD behave however they wanted, without it being broadcast to the internet... Cameras had to be tagged and registered! It was heavily frowned upon to take photos or video without consent. My girlfriend & I were actually talki...

6'3" 239 LBS.... coincidentally ONE POUND below what would make him "obese" according to the body mass index chart. Seems legit. He looks like a slab of solid granite carved with a diamond.

If you're looking for something easy and delicious, look into Tasty Bites (http://tastybite.com/). Boil water, throw the bag in (unopened) & let it heat up for a few minutes. Serve and enjoy. Really tasty food, minimal cleanup required. Plus on cold nights, something warm in your tummy hits the spot.

I look at my 401(k) and it has appreciated nearly $400,000 since Donald Trump was elected. Considering it would have likely lost around $100,000 if Mrs. Clinton had been elected. Disclosure 1: I'm not a supporter of The Don. I hate what he's doing with environmental policy, social issues... many th...
