I used a MC6000 out there a couple times. After the last time I started having some issues with sliders and crossfaders. Maybe it was the dust, or maybe it was the numerous drinks that have been spilled on that thing over the last 5 or 6 years. If I were you I would seal it up as well as you can, an...

I just wanted to find out if our camp was going to be accepted as there's a whole lot more work to do if it is with what we proposed. Two points: 1. The vast majority of camps that apply for placement receive it. Also generally if a camp's application is lacking they will email you and ask for more...

This information has been included in literally every Placement newsletter. No one has heard about their placement yet. Pay attention to the newsletters, they will not lead you astray.

Mine, Battlestar Erotica. Just kidding, we're not that exciting :wink:. It depends on what you're after but the best is just to roam aimlessly and see what you find. Some of the small random camps end up being the most fun. But as far as larger established camps I really like Voodoo Soup, the Dusty ...

As always, you guys are amazing. I'll be seeing you this August.

Very cool! How well do they stack when flat? How did you reinforce the vertical panels? They fold down flat with 9 panels in 3 sections (2 2-panel sections and one 5-panel section). The back wall is reinforced with a 1"x3" wood strut across the middle bolted to the panel with a big washer. The fron...

It's pretty amazing what you can built out there from foam panels if you think it through properly. Here's my creation: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-obckt-7Tzmk/VE2iPPXaEmI/AAAAAAAAE2k/RBhcxWQ1fSY/s1600/18%3ABRC6673%2Bcopy.jpg We have three of them that have survived three years out there. I've had a h...

Great work! Way to go for it and try out a new idea. How did you end up anchoring it down? Four aluminum steaks on each corner about 3 feet away from the structure with paracord going across the roof. Works pretty well. The aluminum framing is supported by the wooden bracket in the roof, so essenti...

Ticket sale information was provided in the December 20 Jackrabbit Speaks email as well as on the website.

Can't be 2%. That would be a 220 foot drop from the end of 3:00 to the end of 9:00 (11000' x 0.02). Biking east would be a bitch if that were the case. For reference, if you are standing in a parking lot that slopes to a catch basin at the middle, that is generally a roughly 2% grade. Steeper than y...

I have had no problems tying knots in mule tape, including clove hitches. I can't imagine your pvc moving along the length of the "spine" once it's under tension. Good luck!

It's so refreshing to see a post saying "I have these skills and would like to contribute to making a theme camp awesome" rather than "I am looking for a theme camp that will give me this this and this". Thank you.

Howdy neighbor! Battlestar Erotica is at 2:30 and Ballyhoo as well! Let's nerd out on some sci fi!

It's back up. ETA: also, fun fact - events this year started with an event number of 13284. So if your event gets a number of 14784 or less, you're definitely in the printed guide if you chose to be. (Obviously higher numbers might also make it in due to people not wanting a print listing, non-publ...

Scratch that, it just occurred to me that ESD camps probably don't undergo the same placement procedure as theme camps.

ESD sub-camp 3 "The 'Burbs" has been placed at about 3:15 between Ersatz and Freak Show. This no-frills, no services camp should not to be confused with the main ESD camp at 3 and Carney. Last year, The 'Burbs was at 3:30 between D and E. Wait, have people started getting their placement decisions ...

Post in the Seattle Burners facebook group, i'm sure something will pop up.

Google will be bringing their self driving cars to the event to Street Map the city. It will be a study in how the AI system deals with curbless unpaved streets and the lidar clutter characteristic of developing countries. the project will be a prelude to a new Google Games business unit, extractin...

I was very grateful for this gift last year. In 2013 we camped at a rest area and woke up in the middle of the night to sprinklers hitting our tent so it was nice to have a real place to camp in 2014. We met some really great people there too.

Thanks!! Good to know that it's not too late. Last year, I didn't plan on going to BM until I was invited last minute (about a month before) by people I met once at a bar haha. Luckily it turned out great, but since I joined so late I wasn't really too involved in all the preparation work that went...

Battlestar Erotica is hoping to get placed on the streets near 3:00, hopefully around F. We are a new bar with some delicious treats and drinks, as well as fun activities and games. We are starting small for our first year but definitely plan to ramp it up in the years to come. Come say hi!

Again this year Black Rock Power CO-OP has asked to be placed between A and B streets and 4:00 and 4:30. Brain Freeze / Got Stickers Camp will anchor the Village on the 4:30 end and And Then There's Only Love (Read the Orgy Dome) will anchor the other end. Between those two camps will be at least 9...

Ya, there is an all. All of the tickets released into the STEP are actually directed to certain people. They are not sold to any old person in the so called queue. The queue is a lie just to cover up what actually happens to the tickets. Well then, it's good to know my friends who have gotten STEP ...

If they only took 4000 applications there would be no need for any review though, there'd be enough LI tickets for everyone that applied. It would be interesting to know how many applications they got/what the success to failure rate is. Yeah I assume they take a certain percentage more than 4,000....

I was always under the impression that they close the applications once they receive 4000 (or a bit more), thus they should have the exact same number of applications to review as any other year. Of course they still have the pressure of all the other sales to deal with, but there's no way they rece...

I don't know about the inner workings but on the surface...The tickets are offered to the next in line and they have 3 days to buy them. It would be a whole lot of People not buying them for it to drag on for weeks. It's possible. I suppose that's possible. It would take 5-7 people to not notice th...

I would love to see the inner workings of the STEP program. I know that tickets put into it aren't immediately sold, as I have spoken to friends who released their tickets into STEP and didn't have them sell for several weeks. I wonder how they control the pace of ticket sales in STEP, and why they ...

Last year gates opened at 10 AM on Sunday, and entry was a breeze (unless you had to pick up a ticket at will call). Hopefully they keep the same schedule this year. Thanks for that. Were you there right for the opening? No, I think we got there around 1 PM. The line itself took 30-60 minutes, but ...
