A whole hell of a lot more people are interested in going to Burning Man than there are tickets available, so, my suggestion is that those who are tired of riding the merry-go-round get off and give somebody else a chance to ride. There will be no hard feelings.

When the night had fallen, I started wandering the crowd. Seeing all the eyes that had the same look like on new years eve. Some waited for the REAL thing to start. Dancing without fun in their eyes. Some were massivly boozed and did some peeing into the ocean. Others f**ked on the shore... And I c...

As a mutant vehicle builder and driver, I applied for a permit knowing that lots of other people were applying for a permit, and that not everybody can go because of issues above and beyond the Org. The DMV are volunteers. They are all kinds of people. The vast majority of them have always been most...

During the course of the week a piece of the airplane came off, and while my merry crew were serving absinthe and Playa Monkeys at the Man fire on Sunday evening, ('cause it was still burning), I found a piece of the Man on the playa. I picked it up, put it in the MV, took the wooden piece of the t...

We had a total of nine campmates this year, on the 9 o'clock Portal next to Moon Cheese. Moon Cheese were awesome neighbors...love them all!...but I couldn't ask for a better crew than the one we had this year. No dues, no expectations, no planned meals, no drama, no bullshit; Dean made breakfast ev...

Finally made it the Green Hour, thanks to directions from the Red Baron. I finished their supply of ice-cold root beer twice, and was gifted a beautiful shot-glass. *dusty grin* I remember meeting you. I think Josh and Jenn were driving the airplane and marshalled you over. Sara designed the art an...

The Green Hour has been placed on the 9 o'clock portal. Fuck me runnin! I haven't seen this year's map, but, that's part of the keyhole, right? Look for the red Fokker tri-plane, and when the green lamp is on (usually around sunset) we're serving the sweetest absinthe on the playa. Just about any o...

"Personally, I look forward to being "off the grid" for a week." Me too. Our campmates--we needed them there--needed to check in with their dog's caretaker to make sure it wasn't dying, and other people want to be able to call to have later arrivals bring more supplies, or figure out if there was a ...

"I just get a bunch of twatrags" I like this person already. You need to come to The Green Hour and pour some absinthe on that fire. Twatrags. I love you. Here's the absolute, dirty truth about snark. Invented by the dot com equivalent of Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons, snark is a passive-aggressi...

I have a 30-45 minute acoustic set I've been gigging around Portland (after 15 years of playing 4-piece heavy rock 'n' roll) that I'm looking to play out around BRC. We'll have a small PA and kit in our camp but it would be a riot to "tour" Black Rock City. Doesn't have to be the mainstage. I've bee...

This is not a conspiracy, this is verifiable on GoogleEarth. The largest structure in the entire Nevada Test site is a recently-constructed large black triangular revolving tower on the west side of Groom Lake, just north of the base. You can see it near three SETI-looking radiotelescope dishes that...

As a non-BMORG type I can tell the first-timers who are worried about the process not to worry. Have fun with it, and don't make promises you can't fulfill. It's completely worth it and there are plenty of people here who will be happy to help you make it awesome.

All but one person (our only virgin) in our camp got a ticket. 9/10 beats the hell out of 2/14 which was BM 2012. I clicked the link the instant my computer rolled to 12:00PM and got through after about 29 minutes. Sounds like I was one of the last of the lucky. In any case, between all of the camps...

"Not only for things like reading comprehension," I dunno, man. Let's see... I have my burner profile, my registration number, my ticketfly account, my credit card ready, everything looks good to go. I still feel like I'm going to be slapping my forehead here within the next several hours, after mis...

We only attend every other year. Every late August, we either go "Oh my fucking God, I can't believe we're going to Burning Man" or "Oh, my fucking God, I can't believe we're not going to Burning Man." It's a lot harder to shake the melancholy on the Exodus drive when you look back and say goodbye t...

I don't understand how asking what camps you were in in the past or what your occupation is streamlines anything, and if any other group but Burning Man was doing it I'd be awfully skeptical of potential discrimination issues, but, I'm not that cynical and I think it'll help hack down the half-asser...

All kidding aside, this is a record drought year for the region. If Oregon and California don't get another two months of steady precipitation, the playa conditions may be a new experience for everybody this year.

While we were waiting in line for DMV in 2012 we got asked if we were Nazis. *facepalm* I replied that all of the Nazis are out at D Lot.

Well, I got an awesome note from placement (I'm not being sarcastic... they're awesome) saying that since our camp only attends every other year, we weren't in the camp database to be eligible for STEP. We're the only rolling root beer saloon on the playa, we bring absinthe, root beer, live music, b...

I'm happy to announce that, having sat last year out, The Green Hour will be returning to Black Rock City in 2014. Along with lively conversation and occasional bouts of live music, we will once again serve the coldest root beer on the playa during the heat of the day. When the setting sun turns the...

If Jesus Christ had miracled his ass an M-60, there would have been no crucifixion, jews wouldn't have been used as human lamp oil or cat food by the Romans, no inquisition, no crusades, no holy wars. Dirty fucking hippie. Jesus is the King of the Trustafarians.

People telling me I haven't got a chance when I'm obviously joking about my event being hinged on some girl. People who ask what other flavors are available for the snowcone they are being freaking gifted. One time in the 1990s we humped a bunch of food up to a (legitimately useful) timber protest ...

Goggles are a legitimate fetish for Burners because if you get the wrong type they're pointless. For example, the most playa-proof goggles you have are going to be worthless in the daytime if the lenses aren't tinted and you can't get sunglasses on under them. And if the lenses are tinted, they're g...
