As far as Fire Poi - If i cannot manage to bring fuel (because I'm flying in) will it be easy enough for me to spin with people, perhaps in exchange for a present/favor

So I recently purchased some Pod Poi from flowtoys. I can picture few more fun places to put them to use... but considering they cost me $100+ I'm not sure how I feel about bringing them out in on the playa. This is my first burn, I hear the dust gets EVERYWHERE. Does this mean that even if I keep t...

Didn't it say somewhere that it would show us what number we are in line? It be amazing if I know how close I was.... 3 hours and counting!

Thanks! good to know

Did the individual tickets sell out on the spot last year or did it take a few days/weeks?

Did all the individual tickets sell out on the spot last year? Or did it take a few days/weeks?

wise words, and they are much appreciated

So we have a conversation. Great. We sense a passive spectator. Burning Man has too much of that. Just go. If you have something to contribute, creative energy or participation of some sort (even compiling a list of musicians) then Burning Man will be richer for it. Like you said, it's not a music ...

thank you dear testosteronereds I was just about to be sparkleponie bad but you said it first and better dont come newb this is for creation not what you seek and how exactly do you know what I seek? I'm just making conversation and asking questions. Not to get too deep on ya, but assuming you know...

some seeing eye wrote:N2F what is your instrument and what musical genre is your interest?

Thanks Some Seeing Eye. Guess i just have to get used to the snarkiness here.

I play guitar and bass and meddle in all genres across the board. What ever sounds good and makes people move

Does anyone know if Shpongle has played there? I feel he'd be a great fit... listening to that music at sunrise on the playa... oh man

woah there cow boy... did you not read my post? i specifically said I was asking NOT because I think big DJs are better...

I hate EDC and such festivals, and know thats not was burning man is about.

Not that I should have to defend myself here... what happened to one love?

Heres a good question then: Name some of the biggest names you've seen at Burning Man.

Not that i think the biggest names are the best shows, i'm just curious who has played that I wouldn't expect to play in the middle of the desert.

Somehow i seriously doubt that.... but just the thought of it is continuing to blow my mind....

Thanks for the tips!

Thanks!! The What/When/Where guide given away at Greeters also lists things like small & medium sized theme parties, jam sessions, and other events, though not usually artists by name. There's a map folded into it. When you say jam sessions, is that something that typically people can participate in...

Newb question... I know burning man is not a music festival but all the same lots of amazing musical artists perform at burning man. I'm wondering how in all the nuttiness that must be going on everywhere people figure out who is playing where and when. Are there schedules of some sort posted somewh...

Hola amigos! Thanks again for the warm welcome. Been getting lots of great input for my preparations. Can't wait to experience the reality of it all.

Same! How did this turn out?

Well done Savannah

Wanna give some examples Figjam?

Great break down Chowski thanks!

Thanks for the helpful replies! Although everyone takes different paths this is helping me get an idea of what people spent on their path so I can better chose my own.

I'm sure everyone will have different answers for this depending on how much you are participating and how big your art and camp may be, but I was curious to see what people have to say on this. I'm trying to plan out the year and see how much I need to set aside every month to make BM 2013 happen. ...

Yea I realize that No Boundaries, this is basically the reason I posted it here. I have almost a year to go until BM 2013, and I'm just getting started so I only have the basics down. I'm hoping through ePlaya and more research I'll be able to clue in on the smaller details and specifics. Do you may...

Wasn't looking for any praise. Was hoping for helpful tips on what to add, and perhaps someone would find it useful.

Thanks Zeke thats a great tip! May as well get rid of everything you can before you get out to the desert and face all its challenges.

Hello everyone! As a virgin burner I am doing as much research as I possibly can. To organize all this information I began putting together a nifty little document on google docs. Its growing rapidly and at this point I think could really be helpful to anyone starting to do research. There are lists...

What a warm welcome! Thank you everyone for your kind words. I have started doing a lot of research. Read pretty much everything on the burning man website, and many many different threads about preparation. In fact I am putting together a document with some lists of food, equipment, and other aspec...

Thanks Sham! I live in Mansfield. Its where the Comcast center is if that helps at all...

Hello! My name is Guy Shechter and I live just south of Boston. My curiosity about Burning Man has been steadily rising ever since I heard about it a few years ago, and after meeting and having an amazing experience talking to a burner, my curiosity has reached critical condition. Every year my frie...
