Hey Doc!! Any idea if Barbie Death Village will get a hotel deal again in Reno? Is it a possibility? Is the Death Village going to represent this year??

* an announcement*

So, it's the end of March basically and there is still no info on when the Tomorrow sale is going to be. What seems to be the holdup and when can we expect an accouncement?

Hi, contact me through here.

Does anyone know if Barbie Death Camp will reserve rooms for 2024?

Who did you camp with?

Welcome. You're now officially a burner. Daydreams? Night dreams? Planning for next year already? Yep. You get it. Know that each burn will be completely different. Not better, not worse, just different. Get used to saying, "but last year" or "I thought this year..." It's all part of the experience ...

100% agree. For some of us, the rain was a reminder of 'the last time'. When you step back and really look at it, it was mud. Pure and simple. I now have two new stories to tell about what Burning Man really is as a direct result of this year's burn.

You're exactly right. Look, if you bought a ticket and can't sell it, you'd rather just burn it? (pun intended) Or would you rather try to recapture some of the actual spirit and gift it to someone who would like to go, is prepared and just didn't have the $$ or ability to buy a ticket.

That's right. More tickets were available to camps than in the general sale. Too many people couldn't get a ticket in the main sale and made other arrangements for vacations, etc. Now people who bought FOMO tickets are stuck and the people who ganged up to buy extra are left with those as well.

Hello and welcome! Please get in touch if you have any questions. I assume you're done your reading homework and have some idea to properly prep.

Excellent. I wonder if the screw you picture is a lag screw or more likely a timber screw?

Just curious, has anyone ever done a study of how much force a standard 14" lag bolt drilled into the playa will resist? I know it will vary greatly by playa conditions, but it might be helpful in knowing a range (assuming it's not from zero to infinity) so that any structure with an area of X and a...

Patsh, it is I, Wigwam! I still have the medallion you made for me a million years ago at the eplaya event at BDC. Gonna try to be there again this year!

Agree 100% Papa Bear. It's the way to see more people, more camps, see how others do things. The contacts you make volunteering may end up being lifelong friends.

The best way to do this is to go to the rideshare board on the ORG.

This was a shock. How did she pass?

She was one of a kind, a real sweetheart. Will be sadly missed.

It was a very odd dynamic to see last year. I'm glad it's back and while I never partook in the coffee service, it seems it was at least the impetus to bring people together.

Oh yeah! They changed the name. Is Mel's Diner still there? That was the best part of staying there after the burn, before the trek home.

Oh, duh. Never mind. I'm not myself today. That leaves the question though...who am I?

I think I have some friends who want to. How early are rooms available on the deal?

All excellent things to remember, to be sure. Also, no dumping grey water on the playa if you happen to find yourself in need of a shower. I agree, read, read, read and then prep your butt off. Remember, experience is the one thing you never have until just after you get it...

Gunny,

I sent you a private message.

Join the STEP (Secure Ticket Exchange Program). It's secure and when people's plans fall through, tickets become available to purchase. Unless you've connected with people through your regional burn or know someone personally who has tickets, this is the only way to make sure you won't get scammed.

Thank you much! I am having my design and lighting team watch these in order to have improved frontage for our new camp.

Having been near the 6:00 portal last year, I saw many, many, many people dragging (not rolling) their luggage across the playa. In some cases, it was so bad that members of my camp, while giving away hot dogs and Gin & Tonic, offered to help carry the luggage. It's actually pretty brutal. I would l...

If I didn't register for the FOMO sale and there are still tickets, can I apply to buy one?

Has anyone received their email yet with the link to purchase?

I'm looking for a video played in a Camp Symposium, I believe in 2020, before the event was cancelled. It was about a camp that uses a Pink Flamingo as a sign and how they gradually worked on frontage to include flags, material and other things to call attention to their camp. Can anyone point me in...

I agree with ALL of this. There is no practical way to make this tent dust or rain proof, let alone wind proof. Anything you do attempt will likely be blown away and you'll create moop, or worse--someone will be injured by flying debris. I use a Springbar tent now for 14 years and it's holding up re...
