I'm pretty sure that's my fault.

This year on Friday on our way to the playa we stopped for gas in Wadsworth, and my 71' purple Sportscoach Motorhome ended up being parked in the middle of 10 ultra-luxury RV's also on their way to the playa. I asked one of the drivers for my payment for renting my RV for the camp. He said, "we'll ...

Sorry for being so snarky. Didn't mean to hurt anyones feelings. The problem here is that I'm getting only one side of the story. I learned long ago that nobody is totally innocent. But you sound like such a sweet guy maybe i'm wrong. :roll: I WAS totally innocent, Well then I stand corrected. You'...

I remember, it certainly increased the body count.

I see I'm not the only dreamer on these boards.

That's funny. I guess bullets and bombs don't kill soldiers as dead as Ebola does. The majority of Americans have shown through their actions, not their words, that they don't give a shit about dead American soldiers, that's somebody else's kid getting killed and not really their problem. Which is ...

For those who have forgotten The 10 Principles Our community's ethos is built on the values reflected in the 10 principles. Burning man is understood not as a event, but as referring to a way of life lived consistently with these 10 principles. They are meant to be taken as a whole, as a set of com...

I know much of what you say is true because I've been reading all the old issues of Piss Clear and they were bitching about all this shit back then too. But I also know I agree with a lot of what they were bitching about. I'm one of "they" - I've camped with Piss Clear (and now it's successor, BRC ...

Hey ! I am an original burner I think it is exactly true that the burn will get more complex and intricately particular...whatever Kiboy, I think you would have loved it then and still will whenever you go again Just protect yourself from only listening to the static. xoA. Yes agree, and I don't on...

I think the very early early days of BM wouldn't have suited my taste any more than what is likely coming . My sweet spot was around 2000 to 2004. I'm sorry, but didn't you say it's been at least a decade since you've attended? How do you know that right now isn't your sweet spot, and how do you kn...

Men who have recovered from the illness can still spread the virus to their partner through their semen for up to 7 weeks after recovery. For this reason, it is important for men to avoid sexual intercourse for at least 7 weeks after recovery or to wear condoms if having sexual intercourse during 7...

Socks2 Was this, if true, inevitable? Growing revenues to attract those interested in profits? Entropy? Rapid Growth? I've never see anything not change. Now I almost said and rarely for the better but I realized that that would likely be more due to an actual bias on my part that a universal truth....

Just seeing this now, and moving it over to the site function board, since that's a better fit. In answer to the question though, that's fairly typical usage on message boards in general - most site users are lurkers. Some create their accounts with the intention of starting to post someday, others...

Great attitude Ano. Just being on that desert is enough to rock my world. Too bad your friend couldn't see that.

Matrix Return to the Source

Thanks for that, I did enjoy it.

Thanks for sharing your detailed trip report. I really enjoy hearing peoples transformative experiences in BRC. Seems you got the full ride.

Mother nature is using us to further her goals in evolution. The goals being just more ways to mutate shit. We now have so many ways the human race can faze itself out it's hard to keep track of them all.

I spend more time with my dogs then I do with humans in person and while posting my dogs are by my side usually. This doesn't mean I don't like any humans though. I'm not completely exclusive. :wink: the tragedy of the loss of human life is more important than a dogs life Well you could add that tha...

Only a dog? I like dogs more than I like most people. Human tragedy is the norm on this planet. Were it a common cause this conversation would not be happening. But scare humans with a new and unusual threat no matter how relatively small and all of a sudden the sky is falling.

Cute little bugger. Makes you want to pick him up and make it all better.

It's like MAGIC

OK I get it.

Well it was just a suggestion.

Boy, Its a great sunny day here... can't find but one thing to complain about.. That is there is nothing to complain about.. Sept and Oct in Southern Oregon is amazing. Even after 26 years I can't believe how nice these two months are. Sunny with bright blue sky and not too warm and cool nights. It...

I wondered about the scavenger hunt possibility, last night. Since silly ideas are the norm here... what about incorporating a painted finger idea like the Afghan elections? Anybody wearing a finger (any finger, you choose, bet most make it the middle) dipped in a specific color, can be identified ...

Yeah I agree that's a real question. For myself one of the things I've really liked about BM is decommodification. But if those days are gone then it's best to just say so and see how it feels. There's a real chance I'll likely not be attending if it goes too far that way but that's not important as...
