Good point. A better response would have been "As the burning orb transitions above the western hills stop by for a dusty dog before embarking on dirty thrills"

Awesome, stop by for dogs at dusk (well from 5 to dusk)!

Yes, definitely keep your private porto secret, don't even tell your campmates. That's what I do every burn.

Luckily they are also very lazy and will never see this post!

I forgot to mention we just booked DJ Dolbytall for a sunset set on 8/27 Monday night (7:30-9:30pm) and a sunrise set on 9/1 Saturday (5:30-7:30am).

Great EDM/Trance music, you'll find him on mixcloud and soundcloud

Yeah, puppy play is a fairly specific 'thing' in the kink world. Probably not your bag. Okay so I used the power of the vast inter-webs and in very general terms you could say we are a puppy play camp in the most innocuous of ways. There was no intent behind the dog theme, other than since we were ...

Camp D^5
G and 4:15

Welcome Bittersweet! And welcome to ePlaya. You really gotta love this crew. It's like every character in Rocky Horror Picture Show, or the Adams Family, you'll eventually get familiar with each personality and when you see a persons avatar, you'll be like "oh fuck, here we go again" or "thank blood...

Oh ok. "Puppy play" means a very different thing in gay culture that's why I asked.

Thanks for educating me on that, I didn't know my tongue and cheek comment had other meanings and I don't want to leave the wrong impression about our camps interactivity.

I have been to 14 burning man(s) This year I will try burning man with a camp. I can show up early and help build the camp and I can help cook Hot Dogs . I am from Reno just 134 miles away. Is there a covered area here I set up a bed roll? Is there access to a shower? Hey Thomas, welcome to the for...

Yep, I was clued in by the G (first) and 4:15 in the placement letter, definitely on G based on the placement letter instructions. I would have thought mid-block, but with 4:15 having an avenue on G there is a chance it could be on that corner as well. We are rolling in Thursday. If I can get all th...

Your camp sounds great. Are you placed? If so, where? Did you get your health dept license? Don't forget your fire extinguisher. I'd love to find you guys and have an otter pop. Hey Ratty! Yes, we are placed. We are on G and 4:15. I'm not sure if we'll be on the corner of 4:15, but we do know that ...

No, it's definitely not a sex camp. While sex may occur at some point during said event in said camp, we are just your typical run of the mill camp. Our main interactivity events are: Gifting hot dogs from 5pm to dusk (daily, until the dogs are gone) Obstacle course, where guests traverse obstacles ...

At Camp D^5 we’re having a bounty of interactive entertainment and activities catering to the young, young at heart, hippies excluded (sorry). We would enjoy a couple more experienced burners who are willing to be interactive and help out and in return you can reside in our fun interactive camp at G...

Given the unforeseen events that occurred in April with the passing of Larry, I have wanted to thoughtfully integrate something related into our camp theme and interactivity this year. I need help finding who to coordinate with on taking plaques to the Temple for burning. Here is the background for ...

Here are a bunch of tiny box necklaces I'll be bringing for 2018. Each box is laser cut from 1/8" wood and measures 3/4"Lx1/2"Wx1/2"H. There is a sliding top that comes out to reveal a tiny bell inside. The premise behind this being that once you leave the playa in 2018 this tiny box will be a symbo...

I totally love your vision and project and would enjoy being a part of it. Were you guy's an officially placed camp last year? Curious, because another veteran burner and I are putting together a camp for placement this year. We've got all the infrastructure (large dome, shade space, music/video pro...

Sorry for the delay, I've been getting way too into propane and flames lately... I've told myself to ditch the propane and get back to my gifting... Update. Here is the initial design. Unfortunately the CAD program isn't able to support the vast number of LEDs, so I can't show those details on this ...

Safety First! "No - drones, lasers, paratroopers, fat tire bikes, segways, kites, untethered tents and canopies, zip-lines, Thunderdome, bondage, barbie dolls, latex, sparkle ponies, hippies, virgins, mutant vehicles, sound camps, darkwads, any art or Man in excess of 49 inches, or participants belo...

I'm planning on building a couple of pyro boards for the this coming year and I was wondering if there were any camps that have had experience with this and could provide some tips. My plan is to have two 24"x24" boards with two six inch speakers driving each pyro board. Some of my concerns are: Win...

You want an impact driver. They sell super handy little 1/4" drive models but I'd be more tempted to go up a size. I have to agree with the Captain, pump up the impact wrench to something you know will do the job. I took a 1/2", 20Volt impact driver with 5/8" x 23" lag bolts and that worked wonderf...

I've done work on programming and building systems employing lots of strips (72 strips x50) using LEDscape and some custom software. I'm also in the Portlandish area. I'd be cool to see what you're doing and help out if possible. Hey BBadger - I'll send you a PM. I want to see your work. I have rea...

Awesome resource links SomeSeeingEye! I'm delving deep into the throngs of all this content. I have no idea where you get this information, but holy cow you don't do it half-assed to you? Thanks again!!!

What projects have you been involved with or created out on the playa? My art assists were in 2012 and 2013 with Rob Bell and the Zonotopia Crew. First was the Two Trees...the LEDs were all addressable but Rob liked the system-wide color effect and wouldn't let me disco them out :) The second one w...

Hi Kowtow!!!!! So great to see you back in here! Where in the HELL have you been? We missed yer azzz something fierce!!!! Welcome back!! So 2016 was a distracted year. Distracted by Defaultia and I bought a park model in a 55+ resort in AZ. I know, call me the enigma... I'm one of the only republic...

Great input Jackass. I totally didn't think about the dielectric grease. That's an excellent choice for the ICs and capacitors especially. The PCBA's aren't super component intensive, but there are over 680 individual circuit boards that will be involved in the project and that ends up being a coupl...

I also work with a long-time burner who has been a part of various art installations (Groovik's Cube) and temple builds. He wasn't a lead on these projects, but he also suggested the inner ratchet system like you have. He also told me about the recycled CDs. That cracks me up. BTW, you're being nice...

Thanks maladroit! I have 23" x 5/8" lag screws that I used for the "theater room" in 2015. This was directly from previous advice from Figjam and the impact driver was a piece of cake to install and de-install these bolts. I was definitely wondering if an "inner" lag system would be the key for this...

I'm finally taking my Burn to the next level. Having taken last year off it left me feeling absent and neglectful, so now I'm trying to make up for my selfish and inconsiderate behavior (resultant from not attending) by offering more than just schwag in 2017. Not that there is anything wrong with sc...

Ya and the sights and sounds weren't too shitty either.

Can't we unionize and bring the Sherpa's and Hippies under one umbrella organization called Shitties? Then the sherpa's could pick up after the hippie's (as part of their radical inclusiveness) when they finished their duties at the PnP. Excessive apostrophe abuse! Hippies. Sherpas. The sherpa's ti...
