No point, they would probably just pay to have a servant wear the armband for them.

The first step is to make a sweep of abandoned items--the big stuff. Some ca...

Just curious Sparkle, who joined after the shit hit the fan to comment on the shit hitting the fan, and who brought up the ice diversion, just curious.....are you on the board of the Burning Man Project, or just dating one of them?

Ok, yes, an ice tax is not feasible. Nonetheless, I really dislike the present system, so I guess the best way for me to handle that is to disengage from it by bringing my own ice, and if i care enough about it, come up with a radical new way to make ice that totally disrupts the frozen-water econom...

Does the acceptability of ice commerce trickle down? For example, if I buy 100 bags of ice, load it into an insulated cart, and then walk down the street peddling bags of ice? I bought six-packs and saved a little money, but I'm selling them one by one and making a small amount extra that way. It f...

bwahahahahaha you're joking, right? Yes, because those of you lucky enough to bring generators, fridges, etc would love to subsidize someone elses ice. Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuure you would. And lets penalize the people in Gerlach because their town isn't over run enough as it is without having ...

"As a matter of public safety, ice is sold at Arctica in Center Camp, and in the 3:00 and 9:00 plazas.

Thank you for RTFM for me.

It seems pretty reasonable though. The event space is now open for 10 days in the desert (general public). Getting rid of ice is asking for a lot of spoiled food borne sickness. Thanks for looking. I agree. There have been endless debates (for at least 20 years) about ice and coffee vending. I agre...

Citation needed!

Not that I don't believe you, but I really want to see where Washoe or the BOrg is willing to state in print that they are allowing on-site sales of a product for health reasons.

Why should we make an exception for medical staff? They live in BRC and party just as hard as any other Burners. I personally think that ice & coffee vending does not belong in BRC, and all of the staff for Arctica and Center Camp are volunteers anyways AFAIK. Paid blackwater pumping is an unfortuna...

We've been talking about this over at the Burning Man Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/BurningMan/comments/2ghh4q/would_this_qualify_as_a_plugnplay/ckj88xn One suggestion was to enforce Nevada labor law to protect the workers.

I'd like to cross-post a comment that I left in one of the plug-n-play threads on /r/BurningMan/: -------------------------- Just so you all know, "Sherpa" refers to a specific ethnic group in the Himalayas, and though I don't speak for them, I suspect that it's somewhat insulting to this people to ...
