what an adventure! can't wait to hear the rest. you may not need them anymore, but big **hugs** to you!!

Prism Magic usually sells ones made out of Oggs - great quality (not the conversions that fall apart) - call ahead to make sure she has them this year.

In our camp, we take a 2.5 gallon jug (the squared off kind with the handle on top and faucet) of water that's empty, cut a flap in top, and fill it with ice. Cover with a towel or blanket and keep in the shade, or a large cooler, and you'll have a slow steady supply of cold clean water. If it's too...

Thanks for the scoop - I restocked on goggles but unfortunately some I didn't notice were coming from another country and may not make it in time - I ordered a pair of these just in case :P You can never have too many pairs right? As a note about them not getting really dark in the day - if you aren...

Try contacting Lauren at http://prismmagicclothing.com/ She's a friend of mine and was our minister for our (legal, off playa) wedding. I know she has 4 weddings on playa and working a lot of shifts out there this year, but she may be able to help. There's also an email on the main site for weddings...

haven't had one out at burning man. had one for regional burns and camping, and i loved it camping solo. however: - cold nights - the air i the bed below you is cold, you need insulation between you and it. - cold nights - temp drop means less air pressure, the bigger the mattress the bigger the dif...

start walking and looking around. you'll get a map at the gate, it should show the locations of the installations, but basically just walk away from the city blocks (there's art there too of course) toward the Man and toward the "top" of the map you can see online of the city. you won't have any tro...

my boyfriend and i are new geocachers, but so far only used our iphones to located caches. :/ maybe we'll try to meet up with the group event, we don't have a GPS but would love to be in on the fun!

hey goathead

i see on the list we're actually at 6 and Evolution - E is Extinct, Evolution is the outer ring around center camp. (6 and Evolution is pretty much the same as 6 and DNA, however.)

I thought it was a typo until i looked closer at the map!

see you soooooon......

post-burn depression always hits me, this was my third year. although this year was the tamest, unless i haven't hit bottom yet :? but i had a head cold upon return and spent a day sleeping because i couldn't keep my eyes open. aside from planning for next year, i have three approaches to help offse...

nope - 5:30. and where along 5:30 varies each year.... just head out from esplanade and look for the coffin!

*waves to goathead* can't wait to see you!

not even sure what i think/want to say on this whole topic... while i do feel badly for anyone falsely accused of sexual assault, either intentionally or unintentionally, i think a little dose of healthy fear of that will help people decide to communicate better and be sure that the other person is ...

the smaller one? will deflate and end up on top of you at night. happened to a friend camping when the temperature difference was no where near as bad as it is out there.

i sleep in a red van on the playa, with no shade over it. i hang fabric inside to keep the sun out, but i think this year i'll try the aluminum foil instead. (the fabric hung straight down and the air between the window and fabric heats up.) it's ok. you can't sleep in very late. like 8/9 max. i str...

i'm in NJ, and active in local stuff as well as BM. hop on tribe and find us! there's a regional event in delaware mem. day weekend called Playa del Fuego.

i'm here - http://people.tribe.net/hunnybear feel free to contact me on tribe for more info ;o)

i have daily disposables. if you don't mind wearing your glasses if needed, bring both. i end up mixing, more contacts early on, more glasses later (it's dustier on the weekend, more people.) i take them out at night (throw them away). the stored unopened ones last fine, bring rewetting drops in cas...

i actually was behind you when that happened - probably a few dozen cars back. we saw the dust from when you went off road, and i slowed considerably not knowing if it was an intentional pull off or dust devil or what. i felt horrible when i saw your car there, and i saw the passenger getting out of...

i'm fortunate in that i've learned from extremely safety conscious spinners. one should NEVER spin without a designated safety, whose job is to help put out any fires, with a fire blanket (or damp towel). they should both be wearing natural fibers only. transfer does happen to clothing, but it shoul...

(just in case it isn't a joke) the fire things people spin around? they spend a LOT of time learning to do it WITHOUT fire. i was learning for a year and a half before doing fire, and i'm still learning. don't be a dumbass (and risk your own health and others), just enjoy the show and buy glow poi o...

check out the hooping tribe on tribe.net, tons of advice there! ;o)

most people don't do padding.

they are full already. they have a website that's like nyccontainer.com or something similar, they advertise on the NY/NJ tribes on tribe.net if you can't get that addy to work. there is a bus leaving philly that i believe still has room for supplies, check the philly/nj tribes for that info.

saw one once. helping friends putting it up (for the first time) took as long as a regular tent. cold weather led to it falling in on them overnight. i'm NOT impressed with what i saw of it and wouldn't recommend it! probably ok for kids who want to sleep in the backyard, but not for BM with the win...

goathead!!!!! first time i've seen one of the brewers on here ;o)

sorry i missed your appearance on the cam....

see you out there this year!

i have an email addy for him somewhere... if you can't reach him PM me and i'll give it to you.

he biked to BM, i don't remember where from, but i know he'd be happy to help you out.

yeah, and really boring!

just saying. i'd have loved to see gerlach on tv.

Anyone watch Bullrun on Spike TV? Can't say I normally watch that channel ;) but my brother talked about this show, because he wants to try to get on it, so I tivo-ed it last night. It's a driving race where they have to get from point A to point B, and do car related challenges. Last night they had...

hey awesome idea! i haven't personally seen any accounts of this at BM, but that would make a great theme camp.....

i would say just find someone willing to help you, before or at the event!

thanks diane, i'm looking for a more traditional deck - but that camp looks like it was a lot of fun! iso - yup i think that's the one i've heard about - any idea how to contact him? is he on here? (i'll go search for him on the memberlist, but if it's different than the 2 names you gave, please som...

I hear a rumor that years ago, someone created and gifted BM tarot decks... i'd love any information about it -- a way to contact the creator, images of the deck, and (i'm not holding my breath LOL) if anyone has one they are willing to part with, i'd be VERY interested. i'm learning/collecting taro...
