welcome to Burning Man! HAHAHA!!!

Amen brother, preach!
took me 5years to figure out what you did in one...but then a few years back the idea was still somewhat in existence!

..."aha, all jokes aside, we had a few similar experiences this year. Then again, we do run a bar..." good gawd, who DOESNT run a bar at Burning Man, that's the question of the year it seems...too many folks attend now that cant handle their buzz...or the freedom of playa life...once again, when the...

Craiger, I agree whole-heartedly w/ you, my man! One of the reasons I'm not out there this year...I've seen pple. I know on a year round basis turn into utter-jerk-ass-poseurs out there and act like we dont even know each other, because why? you got a cool art car, your costume this year is bad-ass?...

I'm a biker byatch now, Street Vibrations next month with a putt out to the playa hopefully! planning on going back to BM in 2010...giving it a rest.

driving to the playa after going thruough Fernley is an excercise in staying alert at all times!!! the speed limits on the road out change from 75 to 35 to 25 to 45 to 55, in a blink of an eye. not sure how much and what parts are federal land, but the fed's have the right to search you on fed land ...

Im BAAACKKK!!!
Center Camp has the best damn coffee, no shit!
It's really great about 10pm when you think you just cant go on, but need to!! HaVE a great time 2008 Burners...feels weird not getting ready to go this time of year.

..."maybe you could tell us what you have planned while we're in black rock city doing what you would rather not do this year..."

"Burning Posuer"
HAHAHA!!!!

..."Sorry, you're not that important. The event will go on without you. Your absence changes nothing.
Lazy quitters. Good riddance..."

It sure will go on, as long as there's yuppie-elitist-Burners like you who want to continue to direct the event away from what it once was...

wow...all the newbs this year! KERAZY.... you guys are gonna be some miserable SOB's out there this year....porta potty attendants?...designated shower areas?...where the hell does one come up w. this stuff? even my 1st year, I knew all this was not possible or avail. out there...one of the draws to...

HAHAHA!!! I bet the store in Empire is gonna love all the calls they'll get now..."Hi, can I leave a message for Moon-doggie? tell him I'll be there on Friday, can he pick me up there???"
seriously folks....

1st couple of years I attended, seemed like everyone was abiding by the suggestion to cover or cleverly disguise logos on rental vans and RV's...last couple of years I attended...seemed like no one gave a SHIT...looked like Natl. Lampoon's Vacation w/o Chevy Chase (CruiseAmerica, El Monte RV, Penske...

yes Skate...I saw that vid....about wet my pants when I watched it the 1st time...thanks for the remind! and the link, I lost it!

nope, not dehydrated....with every other "theme" camp being an improtu bar set-up...it was hard to get dehydrated...

OK, OK...gotta post on this! Burning Man is a super-condensed version of life in general...because it is in a confined space, happens 1 week out the year...it's life X 100,000... Year#1, you are wowed beyone belief, you are 1st in line on-line the next year to get tickets. You met some cool peeps, y...

...the Title of this topic reminds me why I WONT be going this year after attending 5 years running! "must-see"? sounds so tour-isty to me...you see what you see, one man's "must see' may not be another's...

I cried too, when I got back from my 1st trip to Burning Man...keep in touch with the friends you made out there. The folks I've met in BRC have come to be some of my very bestest buddies and we do stuff together thru' the year...

"This is my last year here."

At least in our camp it was...subject to change of course!!!

HOTD in "Silicon Village"...felt just like home...

passing on that road is so very DANGEROUS...just be patient and enjoy the ride...anyways, hope the inconsiderate, dangerous, dumbass, pony-tailed byatch does get found out!!

the dust was a fuckin pain in the ass!!! worse I've seen in my 5 years....BUT, it brought me and my buddies closer together as we 5 dumb asses held on to all our shit during Thursday afternoon's windstorm...I said "now here's the test of true friendship" we all agreed!!! Friday we said "fuck it" and...

according to the SF Chron, some guy that looks/acts like Hunter S. Thompson set the Man on fire...how crazy is that? GONZO!

Topanga:
I'd like to take the credit...but that was sent to me by a friend of a friend...useful info.

this just in.... >>> FWD: Playa Update - Received from Sarah the Cookie - >>> Today!>>> >>> WIND WARNING. . . >>> Greetings from the playa where I am happy and well and >>> holded up in my car. I dont want this to deter anyone >>> from coming, as it's still a blast - but..batten down >>> the hatches...

OOPS...I meant the end of January....
Anyhoo, hope it goes smoother than 2006....

Why for???
We have e-playa... ya know

Should be taking place the 1st of January like always, right?
Is it gonna be the cluster F**K that was last year w/ online sales?
I always thought the mail order/ postmark thing worked out OK...
Does anyone know how it's gonna happen this year?

K.I.S.S.....again....less than 1 hour to set up...less than 1 hour to tear down...just packed everything in large garbage bags...threw it all back in there upon leaving...nice & easy...

Anyone know if the lady with the missing husband named "Bruce" ever found him??

sorry to jump on the "rag" wagon...but that is one thing that irkes my ass about some who attend...they expect others to be responsible for them and their shit when they cant or dont feel like being. I like the "survival" aspects of the event...if you cant take care of yourself out there, sorry, but...
