surprised no one jumped on that yet.
good luck.

<derailing from the battery speak for a second> as a 2013 newb, i can def say less is more. the second you get there, you'll want to leave camp and explore and that feeling won't go away for the entire week! i camped with one other person only, and while it was right for my first burn, it may not be...

I was told by veterans that Burning Man was a place filled with love. All social barriers are broken down and people come together in the spirit of peace and generosity. I did meet some, but beyond small talk and minor interactions, it was no different than the outside world. its this sort of think...

i vow to not miss the eplaya shift next year! and agree, where does not matter one bit. personally, i'd rather not work at 9am, but again, regardless, i'm making it in 2014!

i was in your situation this year (minus the large shade structure) - 2 people and a box truck. here's what worked for us: -we arrived on monday (gates open sunday night, but i didn't want to be looking at night having never been before) -we started looking for a spot on H, not too far out, but not ...

not ready, but def contemplating.
TPBM has some advice for me.

it is a blinky heart (LED? uh....not sure). i never took the tape off, there is a little button on the back to turn it on (i never figured out what the tape and the cushion was for). i tried to mix it up with what was attached to each one. some of you got a tiny blinky (that is friggin super bright!...

ratty - i got the nametag the other day, THANK YOU! (and to cheer you for a whole day is worth the postage as well!)

lol delle!!

i moved from the states to melbs a couple of years ago - what worked for me: (by the way, i'm female, so YMMV depending...) i lived in north melb - there's a bar/pub on nearly every corner (seriously, north melb had the highest concentration of pubs in melbs) - go by yourself. sit at the bar. talk t...

this made me chuckle - yay doc!

thank you YGGY for my ride along, was really fun. and such a treat to see everything from the outside looking in.
def volunteering in '14. there are so many interesting options, not sure what to do!

i do not think you are weird - i don't eat fish either, and i grew up in seattle where everyone thinks i'm weird for not liking fish.

TPBM thinks its not right to kill the wittle fishies.

They arrived today, and I'm blown away by the quality and sentiment expressed on them. I will be wearing them daily till I leave for the next burn. <3!! that quote means so much to me in my daily life - and how approp for the burn! i'm so glad you like it. maybe i can find a small pin or a patch wi...

my campmate volunteered to deliver mail - we searched for almost an hour trying to find this one person. we finally found her and the look on her face made the hour search so worth it!

luckily and unfortunately, i haven't had much work since before burning man. it was lucky because i could plan out my whole burn on company time. and it's unfortunate because sitting at work all day with nothing to do is fucking lame. thankfully, you all keep me entertained. TPBM - if you could just...

the sticker that says "i don't know you yet, but i already love you" omg, love that so much! ratty - the stickers will last longer on the inside of your van than on the outside of your bike. i really enjoyed sending out the lanyards to you guys. made me feel a little bit of the 'spirit' especially s...

only one week late - if you messaged me, your swag is in the mail!

my thoughts exactly.
enjoyable read though, real or not.

and his name is DONG! even better!

not past tense, but yes, not sure what i will be getting into. still in the 'wheels are turning' phase.
cheers to fishy, who doubted my non-creativeness, just took a week in the desert to kickstart it.

TPBM thinks its awesome that there are REAL MEN who don't like sports.

i took my expired ID around the city, got carded a few times, but never had a problem.

i don't know what the hell either of you are talking about.
TPBM thinks the boob-grab art piece was genius.

ya, i fell for the boob-grabbin "art piece" too.


not.

my idea for my next burn involves a taxi service.
amazing tip. day rides only!

walking back from robot heart one sunrise, i saw evidence of someone's uh..., blowout. not sure how one would go about de-mooping that, but it nearly had throw up next to it. how friggin disgusting.

new thread - what to do if you're about to shit your pants in deep playa?

i learned my lesson about swag. don't put the damn year on it. i had 100 of those lanyards made, i have about 88 left :/ my fave gifts were not really 'swag' - i got a sick pocket knife and a leather spikey bracelet. i'm so not a leather spikey bracelet kind of girl, so it was fun to wear (plus, i c...

i came across some pics from FP, but they're kind of blurry. can send if you want, but not sure they're worth much.

thanks fishy, that's what i figured (about the filtered part). i don't know if it was either.
this was def not a small camp.

I KNOW there were dead-beats leaving trash and pouring water all over the place Question: next to our camp, everyday someone would come out with a watering can and 'water' the streets, in cute little circles. my campmate asked them what was up, they said pouring grey water on the playa is OK as lon...
