*raises hand and jumps around “me, me, me” I have a worksmans trike that I bought in 2014. I’ve brought it out to the playa 6 years in a row now. I went with worksmans because I wanted something made in America too. Something that was built well and tough. In 2017 I put the elec motor/hub/wheel on ...

I'm looking at buying a new dedicated "playa" bike for 2020. I've gone through a few Huffy Cranbrooks in the past, 4 to be precise (although one was stolen at the Temple, so that doesn't count), and want to find something that will: A) Last me for more than a couple of years before seizing up B) Be ...

What's the (2) location(s) this year?

Barbie 19 code is still good!

I just booked my room!

Thanks!

Still working out the logistics and details for my pending trip, but I will definitely take advantage of this if I go!

With a midnight gate opening, this is a great way to get some rest pre and post Burn.

Just booked with the discount rates today 07/25!
They didn't even ask me for the BARBIE17 code. I just told them that I have a special group rate, and they offered the same prices!

It helps if you rent a car far from the event. I have rented from Alamo at LAX more than once. No problems and they didn't even check engine etc. Get your hands on some plastic sheeting to cover the inside of the car and keep it closed as much as possible. Also make sure you turn the air con to rec...

Email sent!

I can't wait!

BDV was my introduction to liquid nitrogen frozen grapes a few years back!

Really. Fell free to kiss any of them

I'm working on getting rid of them before BM, just in case I get the urge to bare all.

Are there any burning barrel drums to be found on the playa?

Have read this thread a couple of times now. I'm not that shy but introvert with low self esteem one of my fears going to burning man is that i will end up as a spectator. So i made these. DSCN0015.JPG The plan is whenever i feel that I'm going into spectator mode i will flip to a new card and be f...

i cant speak for the claims of the ones near the huge dance camps being disgusting at times as i dont frequent those areas, but i certainly believe it.

I think we have a winner! :D So, should I come up with my own name, or have someone give one to me? I read about camps where their gift was to have a veteran burner quick chat with you, ask you a bunch of questions, and then they come up with a fitting Playa name. It sounds cool, and I would totall...

Does anyone have any experience with this stuff?



It looks pretty cool (no pun intended), but a bit pricey too.

I use 10" Coleman stakes that are very similar (big nails, basically) except for green plastic thingamabobs under the heads to help prevent them from getting lost in the earth. A 30" Fulton wrecking bar helps get 'em back out. I was going to go with the 12" nails (I didn't think about the washers T...

How often to the Blue Rockets get emptied out during the week?

Great tips!

I like to think of myself as being pretty out going and friendly, but being from a big city where eye contact is pretty much a social taboo, I'm afraid that although I may want to roll up on someone and start a conversation, or compliment them, my conformist norm behavior might hold me back a bit. I...

I found an old police leather gun belt with a crazy brass buckle on the front. It came sans weapon holster (I would take that off any ways) but it did have some other pouches and key ring fobs on it. I plan on attaching some extra holders to it, and maybe a water bottle bracket. I'm just worried abo...

Are you going to fly or drive to playa? Iam looking for some ppl to cooperate on driving down. maybe renting a car from Buffalo or Toronto

I would love to do the road trip, but due to time constraints, I'm going to have to fly down.

That's not cheating--to me. First timer, long distance, international travel . . . those are some decent challenges right there. And you'll still need to put up your own tent. :) I'm not too worried about the tent. I've done quite a bit of camping in many extreme environments, but never the desert,...

Just curious...why do people sit on the fence about burning man? It's easy to look back and say "yes" but if you've only heard about the even, or even seen some pictures and stuff, you may question whether it is something you want to invest a lot of time, effort, and time-off on. Then there's the w...

HI! I'm Malcolm, and I'm so excited to be taking part in my first Burning Man this year! I've been on the fence for years on whether to go for years now, and after some deep conversations with friends of mine, and myself, I finally decided that it's time to go. This is my first post after registerin...
