I regret only getting a 10x10 not a 10x14 for the husband and I

Weekly update: A veritable flurry of donations has arrived in the last week! THANK YOU! I need to take an exact tally, but this would be a good time to.... Well, we may run out of the Top Tier Perk Bikes after all. Regardless, we are now DEFINITELY doing Burning Man without serious financial restra...

Thanks Trilo! I saw that on another in another fundraiser thread and wondered how it worked.

Hi Cryoguy! Welcome to ePlaya! We are going to be volunteering, not sure where just yet, any suggestions? I hear Arctica is a great choice for first year volunteering. Driving a 2000 GMC safari van without AC working, It will be just like the old days as a kid when our family took road trips in a st...

Our Indiegogo is in it's final days and we're SUPER close to meeting our funding goal, can you help bring Methuselah to the playa? We're building in West Oakland in the Bay Area if you'd like to come help with the welding or stain glass get in touch through our Facebook Page (There's also extra info...

Hi Astrid! Welcome to ePlaya! I'm an Aussie who went to BM a few years ago and now I live in the US so I can be closer to the playa year round ;) Have you made it to any of the Australia regionals? I hope to come back to go to Burning Seed at some point. I hope to see you at the Aussie meet up Stray...

Hello Ms Kirbs! My friend Lau and I run a Facebook group for Australians headed to the burn each year, you can find this year's here; Aussies on the Playa 2017 . If you join up you'll get to see the last couple of weeks of chatter before this year's burn and we'll post the link to next year's group ...

I'll be camped super close by (4:10 & F) so there's a very good chance I'll stop by! Quite possibly with weird sparkly purple liquor and/or Australian snacks. I haven't been around here much in the last year or so but in years past the ePlaya Meet & Greets have been a highlight for me so I look forw...

Most terms can be found at https://burningman.org/culture/glossary/ a FUN read :D Oh cool! I hadn't seen this glossary on the main site before. One of the first things I did after I decided to go to my first burn was read a participant created BM glossary. It was a super useful and informative star...

Is Robbi just taking a year off?

I just shared that Flickr album on a FB post asking about the car and got a reply from a lady who worked on the build. She said the French dude didn't build the car, a guy from LA called David Shields did. It seems like Laurent was somehow tangentially involved but is taking credit when he really sh...

It will be

Also ticket prices and all the practicalities of how they will be sold can change from year to year so as informative as previous year's procedures are there is no guarantee everything will work the same way next year. Sign up for the Jack Rabbit Speaks to stay in the loop but don't expect to hear a...

So...On a different note. I ran across someone promoting this on the playa. (It was on the Moop Map thread). Honestly, I had to google it. https://www.shethinx.com/pages/it-works I have a bunch of those but I much prefer this Australian brand . Their fabric is softer and I don't like the lace on th...

Is this it?
I don't know anything about it sorry, I just came across this picture soon after seeing this thread.

Burning Seed the Australian local burn will take place from Sept. 28 til Oct. 3, 2016 at Matong NSW Australia No it won't. It's been cancelled. There are two other Aussie burns though, the QLD burn Modifyre is in July and Blazing Swan is in April in WA. The Sydney Burner FB group jinyukuang08 poste...

So we've moved on from people looking for camps and now camps are looking for camps?

Wow! Most of my playa swag goes straight on my Camelbak but one of those I'd want to display/wear year round!

Oh no! What's happening?

It really sounds like you would be better off without a camp. The reasons for preferring solo travel are magnified at the burn, meeting people is just as easy in open camping/at events/etc as it is in a camp and if you're bringing everything you need all a camp can supply you with is the potential f...

Aw folks are SO MUCH better about this here than on Reddit. :) They were there last year though not in their usual neighborhood and I heard rumors they had some issues and opened late. Quite probably because of the early dust storms. Last year they were called "Something Freaky This Way Foams." Also...

The Direct Group Sale tickets cost the same amount as General Sale tickets.

Also the extra cost of the Pre-Sale tickets covers the Low Income discount whereas the extra from the Da Vinci ticket goes to art.

Yes I am. No it was not.

Protip sparr: The people on the sub suggesting you do that were being sarcastic and trying to fuck up your burn for laughs. They are almost as good at sarcasm there as people are here :D I thought so, too, until I got banned for "challenging" the bad advice. You didn't get banned for challenging ba...

Please don't encourage people to sneak zombies into BRC.

A little gratitude and humility would probably help more than a single extra thread hinders

Wow that thread is so warm and cuddly I'm confused.

Packing has begun

Yes, greeter not gate, of course! What a rookie mistake to make! :oops: I'm actually hoping to step back a little from theme camp running this year and do more volunteering outside of camp and if it goes well do even more next year. I don't think I'll ever stop theme camp organizing completely thoug...

It's Pabst* Blue Ribbon, a type of beer. It's quite popular on playa because it is quiet watery and thus refreshing and easy to drink a lot of. It's also pretty cheap. I think it is what is sometimes called a "session beer" Also worth noting since you're a pom; they drink it cold here. Ice cold. *I ...
