War rabbit: that's an awesome idea! I've been looking for some inspiration for a rabbit mask this year, thanks!

And since most of my playa wardrobe is mad max meets the golden girls I should be able to cobble something together pretty easily to go with the mask. Back to work!

I wonder how many burners voted for Trump. I bet it's lower than 30% but higher than 10% if I had to guess.

Keep in mind this was for green man and then cargo cult, so maybe more recent ticket purchases are different. My experience both times was pretty similar: I filled out the profile ahead of time. Made sure to be ready with my credit card the exact minute that the main sale started, and kept refreshin...

I'll probably vote for Trump again in 2020.

I mean just to help keep this thread alive.

You guys keep talking about pnp camps but nobody ever posts on how to actually join one. I'm fairly well off, I'm offended that I haven't been approached. Here I've been schlepping my own gear to burning man like a poor for years! I demand a/c, tempurpedic mattress, gourmet meals, and a coterie of a...

This year I'm going all out on expression through costumes, so I'm fully expecting to suffer. I normally carry a water spritzer to cool down with. I have a fair complexion so I usually wear a light long sleeve shirt during the day with a wide brimmed hat, and tons of sun screen on anything exposed. ...

Directed at anybody going solo really. If my friend who I'm trying to drag with me this year is in he knows some people that might already be in a camp we can join. Otherwise I'll end up out in the boonies by myself, both ways work me.

I've heard that before in the context of tickets but I don't get it. I hope it doesn't involve pee.

I was going to buy presale tickets but now I'm scared.

I had a vision last night: the shutdown starts again in 3 weeks and the BLM is never able to finish whatever it is in time for burning man 2019. Hardcore types go anyway and it's an awesome burn for once, just like back in '97. For whatever reason I decide to go to vegas instead, and I never have my...

I'll probably go solo this year. If you're still looking for people to camp with closer to the burn look me up, we could form solo camp

Isn't the presale for the super expensive tickets? I'm going to wait until the normal tier starts personally.

Welcome! Planning on attending burning man this year? Where are you from? I'm in Austin Texas and hoping to go this year. Tickets aren't even for sale yet and I'm already excited. I've been twice before but it's been a while since both. I've already started working on some fun outfits, this year I'm...

Latest jackrabbit had no mention of tickets. Damn the shutdown must be delaying things as suspected, oh well back to waiting.

I don't hate Trump. Why don't you hate Trump? Is there something wrong with you? Do you not love this country? Please respond forthwith. Because I'm not a progressive/liberal/whatever, and we might be a minority but we do exist both here on eplaya and out at the actual burn. Some reddits about my i...

I don't hate Trump. The federal government is pretty high up on the list of things I have no control over that I try not to worry about. 2018 I made a big effort to consume less news, it's really helped out with my anxiety and overall stress levels. Since we're talking politics, any other voluntaryi...

I was hoping by now burning man was just a week long edm rave in reno. I could stay in a casino with a pool and my inner sparkle pony heart would finally be at peace.

I hope they release the list of dj's soon so I can decide if I really want to go. Anyone want to go in on a poolside cabana?

My first BM was Green Man back in 2007. Amazing time, had a blast! My second BM was Cargo Cult in 2013. Took the husband for his first burn, was not great. He was a turd about a lot of things, and I spent too much time trying to ease things between campmates and sir turd. Long story short, almost do...

while I had some good interactions and fun experiences this year, the police presence added negativity to an otherwise memorable experience. On the way in Sunday afternoon the person on my left, and then 30 seconds later on my right both got pulled over. It was ridiculous stressing about if I was go...

i'm a cute guy from lake tahoe, but I never made anyone a turkey sandwich. so close!

I ended up getting slammed with work so I'm behind on my costuming, but I did figure out how to get my serger to produce a nice rolled hem yesterday! It took 3 hours to figure out how to thread it, and several pieces of fabric had to be sacrificed to get the tensioning right, but now I have a nice g...

I'm worried about the smoke. I live in south lake tahoe, here the smoke is so bad you can't even go outdoors. I hear it's the same or worse in reno/carson.

We're buying hepa filtered masks just in case (my asthma has been acting up), wondering how bad the smoke is on the playa.

The only thing I do differently is freeze with the caps off. That way there is no chance of explosions. I leave the caps on the top of the freezer to remember to put them on before I use the frozen bottles. Yes it works, I do it all the time, not just Bman but camping and backpacking. The secret is ...

Interesting theory on radical entitlement. Beggars not understanding that if they first try themselves, then someone along the way might decide to help them without being asked, but if you skip that whole try part... problemo! I think another aspect of your radical entitlement theory is sparkleponie...

Isn't the big exodus Monday morning?

Elliot, I get the feeling that you might be saying 6 days isn't enough time to start from scratch and up well prepared on the playa. Sparkleponies make the burn go round, if we cull them before it even starts the numbers might be too low this year! :mrgreen: Hey there, and welcome to ePlaya. I have ...

hike in at night, don't wear any lights or you'll be spotted.

Today I got my h12 all cut and taped up to be semi-folding! Took my partner and I about 7 hours. Would have did a test run setting it up but a storm rolled in here in Tahoe, I wonder if it rained on the playa too? doing the setup tomorrow so I can get my air conditioning and generator plumbed in and...

drat, just found out someone else named burnerbunny got added to the no burn list. Great, now I'll never get past the playa tsa checkpoint.

My burning man 2023 experience: My tent permit wasn't approved in time for the burn, so I'm looking to join an orphan camp. All of the pnp camps are out of my price range unfortunately. 2 of my 8 costumes passed the inspection process this year, I'm super stoked to have choices this go around! I can...

sparkle ponies UNITE! We really should have our own parade during the event. Would someone organize it for us?
