*Zooms in, runs three circles around bar with hair on fire*

Hi dear Bar! I hope to see you all soon in the dust.
Love ya,
Mojo.

We learned last night that our Burner community has lost a very dear, sweet soul. RIP Parker East, aka "Cake". He was wildly talented, deftly creative, and enormously intelligent. He travelled the world with a childlike love and unstintingly gave of himself to those around him. The Greeters communit...

Wow! The sky behind the ridge west of town is bright orange for miles and miles from a fire out on the Air Force Base. We are not in any danger, nor are any occupied structures threatened yet - but it is really dramatic looking. 2,200 acres burned so far with 0% containment. Am glad I didn't wash my...

Happy Birthday Ratzel!

Yo, Sparr - the bar codes on the tickets are scanned, each time someone comes in with them - with a hand held scanner connected to the data base. We are not new to this rodeo.

Welcome Chief! Sounds like you are super prepared to help out anyone who meets you. There will be many. Good luck, and Happy Burn! I am so glad (as a former Navy wife) that you were one of the very few that succeeded in the OMG sale.

Yo, Crunchy - you need to go to Belligerent Gap. One of their own is a professional longboarder, making a good living in the industry. Ask for Max.

Sweet Zigzag, I am so sorry that she is gone. It is hard that most of us outlive our very best friends, but there is another side to it - I have seen some pets that outlive their owners. That is the very hardest, because they grieve without knowing why. I have seen good people ask that their elderly...

I have personally busted people who rolled into camp asking for handouts while bragging that they snuck in. I'm over 60, (and not very big), but at the top of my lungs, I backed a 25'ish guy a half block down the street at high volume hoping someone with a radio would hear so he could be removed. I ...

I beleuve that's the Virginia mountains complex fire which is burning on the other side of the lake at Sutcliffe unless Nixon caught fire last night. There was a mandatory evac of Sutcliffe residents over the weekend but people are back home now. Nixon community center was used as an evac shelter. ...

Yeah - had a business meeting in an attorney's office where he saw me pulling the butt part of my new pants up, more than once. Thank God he has my back - literally!

Real answer: The Greeters Station is close to the city, but not so easy is Gate. Greeters is easily bikeable, or walkable, from the city. Most of us walk or bike ride to the Greeter's station. I have walked it many times for 18 years. Gate volunteers need to arrange for transport which is provided f...

Greeters is the BEST job on playa. Come out to play with us. Please sign up - but if you haven't, check in with the Lead greeter, who will train you, let you greet with a veteran greeter to get comfy, and then you get to welcome a lot of people home.

Yo kids, apparently big fire at Nixon. See the videos. Scary.

Thanks, sweet friend. I bought a pair of pants today that I thought weren't too big - have had to pull them up over and over today with my son (Fuck Yeah) laughing his butt off.

Bigbluedoggy Are you working gate again this year? It was really nice to roll in in 2104, pull over to have placement radioed and realize I recognized someone. Alas, you happened to catch me on my one and only shift as a Lead Greeter ever (not Gate). Last year, in order to focus more on bringing ou...

Yay for all the losers! Me too... had a rny about 5 years ago and now have lost nearly 100. I'm sure it has given me back about 20 years of my life.

After 18 years on the playa, I have recently learned a new trick. If you use a cooler with a connector for a hose on the drain - like the big white Igloos - you can collect the melt under it if you work to keep it clean. Last year I collected as much shower water as I brought in.

^ That is funnier than you know! (Fuck Yeah is my son's playa name).

Thank you all! Will everyone fucking please avoid dropping dead for a while? We tend to stay way fucking fresher above ground.

Fucking, fuckitty, FUCK. In one month have lost two very close to me, now a third had exploratory surgery and they sewed him up, saying, "sorry, nothing can be done".

Oh Yiggy! So beautiful, it took my breath away.

There is only one job in camp cleanup as bad as cleaning up the black plastic evap pond - that's beating the dust out of any carpets. Honestly, just use your emergency potty buckets just before you leave and haul it out.

Double welcome! I was in Ireland this time last year for Body and Soul. Your biggest shock will be our "Leave No Trace" ethic. Let me know if you need any help. Ha, brilliant. This is my first year not doing Body & Soul (because of costs for burning man), so jealous of everyone heading down to it t...

(((Unjon))), and my sweet (((Maryanimal))) I wish sweet memories of them for you both. I lost my daddy when I was 15, and my Mom immediately dove into a bottle. It was much like losing them both. But sometimes when you have to grow up fast, it kicks you into overdrive. That happened to me and it mad...

Hey kids, here is something good for this thread. Topless Deb has reached out to me because our Greeters "early burn" piece will be dedicated to the 4 Greeters we have lost this year. My part will be a tribute to ibDave. I get to make a burnable piece about 2 feet by 2 feet. All of you who knew and ...

Had to re-create my username and password to be able to virtually hug you all. Greeters have lost many over the past few months including; Ken Lennon (Ken Bear), Freddie Smith, and now our sweet ibDave. It breaks my heart. Cindy Lou has reached out with a note to Topless Deb and I will fill you in w...

I'm working anyway - it's a good day to get paperwork done and play with you guys.

Be fucking careful with that UH.....

Hey Pinemom - I had a playa dream last night with you and Titwi..., I walked in to the Booby Bar and you guys had built a fucking swimming pool - mosaic tiles and all.
