I'm all the way in SF and the air is so bad here my eyes are stinging and my throat is raw. I can only imagine how insufferably bad it is for people closer to the fire to be inhaling all these toxins - let alone the horrible losses. I have multiple friends who's families have lost everything in the ...

I love the RJG's hyperbole: allowed the event to swell past its population limit then, a few lines later: As of Friday, the population at the Black Rock Desert event had risen to 70, 358 I don't think less than 500 people is what is implied by "swell past". This is within the range that's happened b...

It's been a while since we've posted this reminder, so if all of our newer members could please read the Very First Post in this thread to see what it's all about it would put everyone on the same page. All are welcome to play, but this thread does exist as a pressure valve. As always, for all ePlay...

Last week we lost a member of the ePlaya family, one who rarely posted yet was a major presence to all of us who knew him. Our own AntiM's beloved & magical husband MyLarry was taken all too quickly (FUCK CANCER), this is a place for ePlayan's to share memories about him.

Y'all responded so much more politely than what I stopped myself from posting. Basically: Burning Man isn't your momma nor your nanny; if someone can't be bothered to follow basic safety rules in buying 3rd party tickets that for an event that is (a) sold out and (b) an extremely hot commodity... ye...

Just a magical man. Sigh.

I've gotten the same. It's lovely to have a non-destroyed copy (though I have my dusty "real" tickets from those years as well)

^{(5 years, 7 months, 10 days and counting)}

You made it. Does something happen now?

There will still be spots on the back streets - no need to join a camp, just find an open spot, check with the neighbors to make sure it's actually free, and set up your camp. Being a solo camper & meeting the neighbors is a really good way to end up with new life-long friends.

Do not post links for items unless they are in response to a question (asked by someone else) and it's specifically playa related. Any vehicle links MUST be approved by a moderator because, with incredibly few exceptions, they do not qualify as being playa-specific. We are not Craigslist, we are not...

Fuck, I haven’t teared up in a long fucking time.

I've been fucking crying for hours now. Fuck fucking cancer.

Pull back with the personal attacks - if you don't want to see someones posts, plonk 'em. This is a doacracy, you wouldn't stand next to someone whos company you don't enjoy at a cocktail party, why would you here?

Please note that Trilo is on-playa with limited cell service until sometime after the event. Please don't expect the name change before early Sept (though it may happen sooner. Who knows?)

That press release basically confirms that they are willing participants in this.

That's what I get out of it as well. Sadly the actions of the Tribal Gov't are going to burn the average tribal member by loss of revenue, even if they're opposed to this action.

IMHO, 24 hours should be the minimum. Throughout the course of my day doing monotonous chores, I like to reflect upon what I have written and on many occasions desire to make changes. Reflect before you hit the "submit" button - I proof-read most of mine at least 3 times before I post. ePlaya is a ...

The street numbers have nothing to do with the layout of the city in relation to a compass. It's more to do with the names of the streets and navigating your way around. Yup - the radials didn't even get named with numbers until 2004, to make it easier for Emergency Services to find their way aroun...

I dress for comfort, even though my clothes tend to be bright. PJ bottoms, pantaloons, silk flowy pants for daytime, paired with a tshirt and a shit-ton of sunblock (I'm a ginger), keffiyeh for my head (double-duty head covering & dusk mask that fits over my beard), goggles. Good to go. Night-time i...

I'm pretty sure trenching meant to be only for areas of possible public vehicle traffic. On playa, across a road. Not for hiding wires in your camp. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but it's not supposed to. Don't take that on as a newbie. This. If it's inside a camp, cover those wires with rug...

I thought we agree to the principles went we buy our ticket. Burning Man on the 10 Principles : They were crafted not as a dictate of how people should be and act, but as a reflection of the community’s ethos and culture They're general guidelines, not commandments, other than Leave No Trace and No...

but.... maybe more will feel better??.. Nope. I can guarantee you that no matter what system you come up with, if the person who is upset doesn't have a ticket in their hand, your system is a failure. How can I guarantee that? I've been a mod since the first sell-out, and every single "fix the tick...

Good intentions and all but still, MIA.

Trilo is still here, still paying attention behind the scenes. Just like every other Burner he's in crunch time though. Besides, it's not like we're getting paid for this...

Does anyone really, seriously and truly believe that this marketing photoshoot was done completely without the approval of anyone in the ORG??? I've looked over the posted images - the only mention of a brand is in the websites headline, but the actual images were taken from the women's instagram a...

You wanted to talk cock, own it. You know I'm enjoying this thread. :lol: Both me & the hubby are from the auto-cut generation (I'd be cut anyway, being Jewish), neither of us has ever had less than a really good time using our dicks. Been with plenty of boys of both varieties, all their cocks were...

Eric, may I help pay for that new migraine medicine for you? Luckily meds are one thing my insurance does well. That's covered, but thank you, you wonderful man! So whats better , natural BO , or patcholi oil ? Natural BO, any day. If it gets too strong, use one of those salt crystal deodorants, th...

You've been steered away from a parachute, but just to drive the point home: this is what happened to a brand-new parachute on our dome when a microburst hit it (same storm had a microburst that partially collapsed a steel dome). This even had venting in it. Make sure you use something stronger than...

Events? Sure - I'm at parties and clubs all the time. Also movies, game nights and ... other stuff.

Was he a major force in making EDM mainstream (love it or hate it)? Yep. I’d say Donna Summer had him beat by 40+ years, but that’s just us old bearded queens talking drag races and shit... ;) Everything's a cycle, Avicii, Daft Punk and some others are who brought it back this go-'round. I remember...

I haven't showered out there since 2007 - within a few minutes of getting out, you're covered in dust again. I use No Rinse Body Wash & a washcloth for my hands, face, pits & bits; No Rinse Shampoo/ Conditioner for my beard. You smell like a nursing home for about 30 minutes, but the stuff works rea...

I've got a lot of friends who are really sad about this. Was he Prince or Bowie (or even Amy Winehouse)? No. Was he a major force in making EDM mainstream (love it or hate it)? Yep.
