AWESOME!!! thank you so much! that is exactly what i was looking for. i've been to the desert domes site, but i didn't see anything on there with regards to this particular model using PVC and rope.

billboard vinyl is awesome! i think we miiiiight revert back to using our vinyl cover this year. + heavy (structural stability) - negligible haul weight though + extreme durability + easy to clean, just hose off + 100% shade just make sure that you cut some vent holes at intervals (especialy at the ...

surely some kind individual could link me to some plans for this kind of dome? with their sheer ubiquity on the playa, surely SOMEONE has them! - single frequency - made solely from PVC with drilled holes and uses rope with knots to bind at the vertices anyone know of what i speak? i already have a ...

we bought a parachute to cover our dome for an outdoor music festival this year and found that it let in WAY too much solar radiation. when the clouds lifted on a sunny day, we could immediately feel the sun on our skin; it wasn't nearly as bad as being exposed , but it was not very fun either. i an...

it was poorly worded, but what i meant to suggest is that EVERYONE uses NLP on each other, regardless of whether they know it or not, the extent of which varies. true, his usage is much more potent. he was using it to manipulate, but he was exploiting an innate form of conditioning which is already ...

well, someone wrote "this is grade 3 building material, not suitable for structures or buildings of any kind" on the "Belgian Waffle" (Uchronia) next to the little "donate this to Katrina victims" thing. they are 2" x 3" beams, and everyone i asked confirmed that the material would not meet code.

yeah, this was only my 2nd year, but i definitely agree with you in lots of ways. on one hand, it's kind of fun to have that sort of memorabilia off the playa, and it's cool in the way that many of these things are one-off or handmade items which will never be duplicated; they can serve as a great l...

Scorpio, i'm sorry you ran into such bullshit this year. try not to let it get you down, though. a lot of attitude will go a long way, and i would recommend you go to a BED workshop (as should my girl, next year). my girlfriend got involved in quite a few shitty situations this year she has a proble...

dear fellow burners, does anyone have any SUCCESSFUL experience with alternative means of refrigeration? something using evaporative cooling, etc... we did OK with dry ice last year, but i was just wondering if anyone has experience with Pot-in-Pot refrigeration, or similar ideas? the pot-in-pot ide...
