The ALEBRIJES!: Immersive Art Car Experience: Vehicles for Healing needs your help. This year for phase one, we are bringing the art car, "El Lobo", the Wolf, representing the element earth. We are creating this creature to showcase the customs and traditions of the Dia de los Muertos holiday, pay h...

Thanks for the feedback.

I shared this with my friend and they will be looking elsewhere and doing something different. I also sent an email to "doingitwrong" and they replied saying they would investigate further.

Appreciate it, as always!

With the news of people trying to scam newbies into spending money, a friend of a friend shared with me this site they were considering using this year: https://www.burneryurts.com/ Essentially you pay them to set up a yurt with all the fixins' at your camp. I thought this was done away with - hence...

Everyone.

Thanks so much for the tips and advice. I shared it with the team and we went with the Plywood ACX in 4x8... Looking forward to the final product. Just finished hammering out all the logistics with the printer today.

Hello all, As we countdown to the final days before returning to the playa, I have committed to assisting with constructing an art installation project with a team this year and look forward to bringing this vision to life. Unfortunately, our initial resource will not be able to support our wood req...

when I was growing up we used to stack all the phone books underneath the main phone in the kitchen. For safekeeping, I guess.

A few years ago while moving, I asked my son to pass me the phone book (the little dinky ones) and he asked me what a phone book was. I told him nevermind...

It gives a space where people can put their energy in to or give them something to do. I'm always up for pressing the boundaries of what the interwebs can provide, so I might wander through the virtual offerings just for fun. I always enjoy a good "personal video" from the playa, getting to know peo...

I'll be finally getting around to decorating my goggles this year, so pulling out all the crafts supplies and looking for that extra strong glue...

Don't worry about being a spectator. Come and see what you can see, learn what you can learn and connect with what interests you. Then as you process your experience afterward, then you can see in what ways you can contribute in the future, whether on a local level or at Burning Man. I learned quick...

Yes, it was harder this year. It doesn't always work out like it should! But tickets still have a way of making their rounds if you surround yourself with different FB groups and camps. I'm not able to make it this year and passed on 3 different ticket offers... so I'm always confident that a ticket...

I look over 21 and was asked at some places... others not so much. A friend of mine brought their expired license and fared well. My thought is this... if you're over 21 when it expired, you can't go back in time and become any younger... so it shouldn't matter. I keep up with my stuff but would pre...

Thank you! That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Our ticket numbers are slowly increasing, so I'm confident we'll be in the clear.

Looking forward to returning to the playa!

It would be the 2nd one. Sorry for the confusing question... I'm asking for someone else. Yes, adding people to the camp should be rather easy. I didn't think someone from the BORG would come, count heads and issue a citation because we're short a few people based on our application - but wanted to ...

Hello good people, I'm part of a small group who is planning to be placed this year as an interactive camp. Right now we have about half the tickets needed based on our application (total, 15 campers) and the question came up, "What happens if we don't get all our tickets?" Are we dinged for next ye...

I thought the org would release something a bit more than "there is more demand than tickets" response. We could have conducted a stress test on the new system to work out some of the kinks before the official date. I doubt a ticket sale "redo" would be realistic or feasible, but there is a sense th...

Wow. I'm a bit sad of the timing of his death, but I'm grateful to be a part of this community he help shaped, develop and grow into something that will live on for years to come. I'm curious to see how this year's event will incorporate various tributes and memorials for Larry. This should definite...

BLADE

I Just came from a conference a few weeks ago in Vegas, I dreamt I was at Burning Man collecting gifts from camp "booths" and was observing all the art installations in a large wooded area with open fields.... Don't know why, but my Burning Man dreams are always in this forest open area. Whats even ...

Shooting Stars

sigh... I've been following Burning Man for a number of years, attended and missed another 2 years. But from what I'm seeing and hearing, there is a new generation coming in and they have no clue whats going on. (I wish I could find it) I stumbled on a YouTube video a few years ago with a guy being ...

Don't get too dusty out there folks... =)

Enjoy the burn for me! I'll catch you on the next go-round in 2018.

I ordered my cheap ski goggles from China and placed a piece of tape over the bottom hole. Best thing I brought to the playa. Even gifted my spare googles. Plan to order a few more. I found some military boots at the thrift store and paired them with my comfy socks. Forgot I had them on. Worked, wal...

I did receive my hat a few weeks ago and then went on vacation. Wanted to say thanks for such a lovely gift!

DATES

I did notice on my last trip, there were thrift shops a plenty on the playa. I still have a loud Hawaiian shirt that was in really good quailty and were on special occasions in the DW. In my camp, we had a few " I'm cleaning out my costume bag, take want you want" moments. Some of my best outfits we...

You'll have to wait about 2-3 weeks before the event starts to see demands increase for legitimate tickets. It may sell before then but I will be shocked if the week before its not gone. But like anything, its still a gamble. An expensive, risky, high stakes gamble.

Have fun!!!

Key word is community. Having good connections or being in a camp, large group or associate with other people going to BM. 2014 - I was able to buy 2 tickets in general sale with no issue (30 minute wait) 2015 - Didn't buy one but friend bought 2 - ended up passing it up due to other financial commi...

I'm just glad it wasn't Sublime Skyfall or something more ambiguously abstract.

At least it will give something for the media to talk about... " See, we have proof! They Do offer sacrifices!!!"

Anyway 267 days to go...

So I think all my points have been stated already... Part of the challenge is perception, but that deals the individual. A good question is what are they exposed to in their community? That will tell you were they will "hang out". I've had the same response organizing TEDx events for the past 7 year...
