April is rough for me and mine. We lost our father four years ago, our mother last year, and my nephew died two weeks ago. I'm seriously considering instituting an annual month of hibernation during April.

Sorry for all the lose that April held for you. Hope you are doing well!

My long-time best friend/campmate/BM travel partner Kelly Linehan (“Hotlips”)... she passed away yesterday, on her wife’s birthday. Cancer. She was in my original camp Johnny & the Playa Cruizers in the early ‘00s. Over the years we were in Black Rock Spatial Delivery, her own camp Sparkle Pony Cam...

I volunteered at the 3 oclock Arctica and couldnt have had a better time. So many amazing people. I look forward to volunteering again next year!

This may sound lame...but it was a hug. I was having a rough go at life midweek, and didnt know what I needed or what I was doing there. My campmate gave me a long comforting hug, and that was exactly what I needed. Made everything so much better.

Three things I could not do without last year, were pickled eggs, chips and salsa. Nom Nom!

Please tell me you had a bag to put the used paper plate in, and did not leave it in the potty. Guess I didnt clarify, this was in my own tent in the wee-hours and I was using a bottle and the plate because it was cold and I didnt want to leave my tent. I threw away the paper plate and drained the ...

The things I learned from my first burn are many, some too personal to share here, but a few I shall share with the group; 1) For me, I had to wear boots the entire time, tried four different types of footwear before I found that boots were all I could handle. Advice: Bring options! (so glad that I ...

Just got the email notification that my tickets will arrive on tuesday! So damn excited.

With all due respect, you're all fools. There is SOMETHING up when you bring your partner to their first Burning Man and tell them screw you, you're on your own go camp somewhere else. I can't imagine doing that to Charlie. That's because that's you. And there's nothing wrong with that. But you can...

First of all let me thank those that are kind enough not to jump to the worst possible conclusion, its a breath of fresh air. Second, I absolutely know that a camp is more than a location. Its about people, its about the relationships/dynamics that are formed in the wee-hours of the morning/night ov...

Wow, ok, let me try this again...The reason I am unable to camp with my friends, is because I am dating/seeing/sleeping with one of them, the naked friend as he coined a few years ago. Him and I have discussed it and in order to keep our relationship stable, he thinks it best if we do not camp toget...

Greetings Eplaya people, I am a first timer looking to join a camp near 4 to 5 area. I know this is a long shot, but can't win if you don't play, right? I have been planning since I watched my friends pack up and leave for burning man last year. They are all attending this year as well, but due to ...

Welcome to ePlaya, Tara! Now, to get you started right, please list the sections of the main website that you have read so far (so we don't have to tell you to read them). :D I have read thru most of the sections on the main burningman site, with the new format, things are a bit different. I made s...

Greetings everyone! My name is Tara, and 2015 will be my first Burning Man. I am quite excited to embark on this wonderful journey and find new friends, explore the playa, and get my radical self reliance on! I have wanted to attend the burn for quite a few years but hadn't gotten out of my own way...
