My application is "pending" when I check. I'm getting anxious to go and keep preparing as if I have a ticket in hand. Are other applicants successful?

Well this is a shocker... I sat out this year's burn (2018) as well as the Utah Element 11 burn, spending the warm months painting my house and barn instead. That said, I've declared an intention to get to TTITD in 2019 and wandered into ePlaya to find this. YourLarry, MyLarry was a burner and I was...

At what point in a new relationship do you bring up the fact that you have been to Burning Man (six times) and know you are going to have to explain what Burning Man is?

I always get good advice in a bar so that's why I'm here.

Take your ticket, take off and go. The first year I went in a small hybrid car with a monkey hut, tent, kitchen, food, water, bicycle and a ticket from the OMG sale. I camped out along the way after about three weeks preparation. Once there, I camped solo and had one of the best experiences of my li...

Inadvertently. My black sport shoes lost the webbing between the elastic parts and this exposes the tops of my toes and the sides of my ankles. I think playa dust had some effect in all this. If I wear black socks it looks like I have black sport shoes on. If I don't wear socks the shoes look like s...

Sky diving IN TO THE PLAYA would render the ticket or no ticket issue moot. Not even something I would consider - going without a ticket.

TPBM wonders where the yellow went when you brush your teeth with Pepsodent.

If the LEO's would stop thinking they are adding to the burn by flashing or lighting up, DURING THE BURN. There is enough of that in the default world. A lit up patrol car for no particular reason is pretty much an act left for DT. On the other hand, a patrol car idling in the playa being a darkwad ...

Some flowers to enjoy

Started out trying to make a denim vest with a wild ass liner but it turns out I like the wild ass vest with denim liner better. Scraps and about 3 hours of time ended with this...

Started thinking about getting my list out.

Item 1. Ticket to TTITD and vehicle pass secured. Check

Item 2. Ticket and vehicle pass to that other TTITD (Element 11) is secured. Check

Item 3. ...

Somehow I read this as "squeezing penises into quarters."

Are you a millionaire yet?

Must have had a wave go out yesterday. I'll see you in the dust!

First of all, I learned something new about a Monkey Hut after 5 years of putting one up. Thank you all. Not knowing it all when you know it all is a bit disconcerting. 1. Orientation of the MH is a big deal - North/South/East/West - sun angle - time of day. All that. also 2. A jig or template for l...

1. Made a decision to go to TTITD. I AM going to go to BM.

1. Culling my art and making new ones for Anti M's Home for Wayward Art

Now.... How to get it there.

What could possibly go wrong?

TPBM is going to leave their christmas lights outside lit until Ground Hogs' Day

Hello barflies!

Sunday here. I'm thinking a reclining nude is my next project. I also have two more piles that can become "le petite tetons." And another remake of the snowsnake here that has been completely buried. Then some hot cocoa with marshmallows.

Going out to a movie is out. Staying in for a movie is in. There is a "Pause" button, clean toilet facility, fabulous snack bar that has hot cocoa, recliner lounging, blankets, pillows, cozy fireplace, rambunctious foreplay if the movie is boring, and nobody sitting next to me coughing, sneezing, or...

Maybe this is too early - but maybe not.

Next year (Aug 21, 2017) has a total eclipse of the sun with about 2 1/2 minutes of totality streaking across Wyoming. Any interest in a pre-burn eclipse camp out followed by a dash to TTITD?

Upsized the grommets on the canvas floor and made a few clips for holding it down on the playa. Decided against willow sticks for shade support and cut some EMT for poles - The EMT telescopes and the willow sticks won't Received the ticket confirmation - this just got really real today Yet to do- P...

Periodically, use a broom

Howled like a coyote as the sun set below the horizon.

Have fun.

I believe I received this personalized from Patsch at the Meet and Greet last year. Affixing it to the pee bottle has been one of those things I've been meaning to do since then.

Pinched myself - The ticket and VP are real. I re-read the ticket confirmation email. I'm going to Burning Man. Mended the smoke flap on the tipi - I put a hole in it at Element 11. Stripped the old lights off the bicycle and performed some maintenance on it. Ordered new lights for the bike and 5 ex...

These came from a day bed out in the bunk house. They look like they will convert into bike racks quite nicely.

Here's hoping. I retired from my profession in May and that dumped me into the low fixed income for the rest of my life category so I felt justified in applying for a LI ticket yesterday. Earlier, when I tried for a full price ticket in March and enrolled in STEP a few weeks later, I was fully emplo...

Not exactly a dome I live in - but a tipi - 18 footer. I bought a bolt of canvas at the xxx-mart store and sewed seams to make an 18' circle. Then I fastened grommets to the perimeter that can then be nailed into the playa. About $60 total - and I have canvas left over - but I paint so that is OK. I...

Yep. Had a near dust experience yesterday when I cleaned up the tool box I take to TTITD. Got the art gallery together but still working on the ticket thing.
