Thanks for the feedback.


Tickets and VP came through this week, making all of this a reality.

Just have to finish my last little preparatory tweaks and it's time to Burn!

The 'Arbour' installation looks like it could be pretty amazing as well, for someone who has a strong appreciation for architecture. I especially appreciate the comparison between the architecture and how it can shape things like a person's religious/spiritual experience, and oftentimes can inspire ...

How well does the "1 gallon / person / day" rule hold up at Burning Man? That's usually what I shoot for when packing for other festivals / camping excursions / expeditions, etc. I would assume that the dry weather may necessitate more, so I may just pack for that. Also, I notice that everyone has s...

Great to hear that. I'm also looking forward to setting up a station at my camp for some type-based temporary tattoos. I love typography and have some skin-friendly ink that I've used at other festivals. People really seem to respond well to being able to express literally some of their current feel...

Latest update, I've got my transport vehicles secured: - 4x4 from Portland to Playa - Cruiser bike (dubbed "Marla") for intra-Playa travel Also, I've thrown and glazed a series of ceramic pieces that I'll be bringing down as gifts for fellow Burners. Just some simple vessels (cups and chalices) made...

I believe you. Can't wait to participate.

Simply reading through the planned synopsis of Michael Christian's 'Brainchild' is really turning the wheels in my mind. My son was just born on the 25th of June, and was 6 weeks premature. Due to his early arrival, his brain hadn't yet made some critical neurological connections, specifically conce...

Hi Savannah, Excellent tips, I greatly appreciate them. I've got the time off, and I've been internally prepping on and off since attempting to participate in 2014. I even started stripping / modding my cruiser bike to become a solid Playa transport vehicle. Next, I'll start getting connected with l...

Another installation I'm very excited about is the 'Bone Tree'.

I've heard about this installation from other Burners in years past and I almost see this as a historic totem. Can't wait to experience this iconic piece and see what I can contribute to its recurring aura.

Kicking things off, the 'Becoming Human' installation seems interesting. Mainly, due to the fact that I just finished reading 'You Are Here' by Thich Nhat Hanh, which was given to me by a close personal friend and focuses on mindfulness. 'Becoming Human' seems to touch on the topic of being mindful ...

Wanted to start a thread to discuss the 2015 Art Installations. Specifically focusing on what installations people are most looking forward to, what some of the installations mean to them on first glance, any references to external knowledge that is spurred on by an installation, or otherwise. Let's...

Full disclosure, I don't yet have a past Burn under my belt, nor do I have a ticket to the 2015 Burn. However, I thought I'd introduce myself to the community now as I'm confident that at some point in the future, I will be able to pick up a ticket. Essentially, I feel that I'm the monkey in the Inf...
