2 hours which direction from the bay? which bay are we talking about?

The LEtsGO Lounge will returning to F(oxglove) and 445 with all its Lego related glory.

If anyone wants to visit, we'll be at 445 and Foxglove.. same as last year.

it -might- be.. We are the LEtsGO Lounge, (around 4:30 and E), and there was a Lego Bar camp (with vehicle) around the 7 o'clock spoke, IIRC.

I don't know if they are going this year, but it might be interesting to mash the two camps together.

Anyone know of anyone who might be interested? Or in some deal remotely the same?

If everyone who didn't get a ticket chips in a dollar, we could build it.

^ yes, please.

Now look what I had to do... use a crude photoshop -like program from 2002 and get creative.

Our theme camp has been using 17' diameter geo domes for camp infrastructure for the last few years. They can fit easily into our wagons and assemble fairly quickly. One dome has always been reserved for the public interactivity (playing with Lego), but as we get more popular, an 17 footer (which re...

I'm going to get a bullhorn and parade around BRC shouting

"YOUR THEME CAMP ISN'T THAT IMPORTANT, BUT I WISH I HAD SOME ROOT BEER"

and see what pops up.

Despite the flux in ticket availability this year, we’re looking forward to 6 months from now. Normally we turn the planning faucet on full blast by now, but this year we’re going to start slow and build up to a roar.. We –should- have a couple of returnees from previous years, but always like havin...

You know, this thread gets me more angry every time I just read the title. Fuck you OP! My theme camp IS IMPORTANT! It's important to me and to all of the members of our camp that bust their asses to pull it off every year. And I'm pretty sure there are a lot of other people that enjoyed being able...

Now we're going to get into the "My theme camp is so much awesomer than yours, so we should get more tickets than you" squabbles

We're desiring to go , and strategizing if our core group can go, this year. We appreciate any donations.. out of three huge tubs we took in 2011, only 2 tubs worth came back home with us (the rest were adopted), so we always want to replenish. I guess this is a time to start soliciting for campmate...

C'mon, our grand kids will be studying this case in business school!

Figures provided estimate there were around 110,000 requests for 40,000 tickets. What wasn’t disclosed is how the requests were partitioned amongst the three tiers. If we assume that request were proportionately dispersed over the actual ticket availability ratio, then we would have the distribution...

"They're more important than you. Or me. Or my individual camp. " I disagree. No specific camp, specific mutant vehicle, or specific artwork is irreplaceable (maybe The Man is the sole exception). There's been many great camps that have come and gone, but every one that has disappeared has allowed a...

I'm curious as to the condition of the road. It may be an alternate route out of BRC if 447 south to hwy 80 gets jammed up again.

The more I read, the more I worry that I am one of the "guilty" ones, because I don't have a definitive Participation Plan yet. I want to help out, but time/space constraints mean that helping from the other side of the country means I probably wouldn't be able to contribute until I got there, and ...

Many people are posting about how their theme camp only got less than 25% of the 'needed' tickets for their entire camp to go, and now the camp might not go at all (insert dramatic music) with the tone of 'you'll miss us'. I have been 7 times, and I have yet to visit a theme camp where I said to mys...

I think that why they have the STEP program developed, to handle those returns (if they truly exist). The problem is that if anyone has extra tickets, the first people they're going to offer them to are friends and campmates.. not just throw them back into the communal bucket. Thus, I think the opti...

I'm not coming back until they have 'Greener Man' as the theme. That's the one one they -should- do over as the man was not so green for a while.

If I poop on the playa, is that supporting the theme? I can also toss around food scrap and coffee grounds if that helps. That way, in 2013 we'll be able to grow our own vegetables!

Burning Man theme sequels? Can we look forward to 'The Future 2.0" "Green Man Jr." and the "New American Dream"?

Have the funeral on the Playa. Something about multiple birds and a rock.

Sending the tickets *with* the survival guide in June. Reduces postage costs! This is a good idea.



There, I'm being positive. Now I'm going back to respectfully disagreeing with other aspects of the new process, and asking questions that haven't been answered.

Why? You've gone plenty of times... take the year off and let a sparkle pony take your spot. Take your $900 and purchase 50 acres near Gerlach, and in 2013 be a BOSS with your own miniBurn ™. I'm putting my money down for a ticket.. Already have some small projects in the works.. Almost all of it co...

I didn't infer that from the info.. it would seem to be counter to the goal of having people the highest bracket they can afford, in order to leave lower priced tickets for others. If someone is willing to buy at the $320 price point, under your model, they would possibly get tickets at the $240 pri...

By 'media', I should have said 'public relations'. I'm referring to tickets they give to the local tribes, assorted community organizations in Reno, and perhaps/probably some political figures.

"1) Don't allow anyone in after Tuesday at noon." Determining a persons worthiness and contributiveness based on their arrival time is silly. I've seen early arrivers sit on their duff all week and homestead a football field, and I've had Thursday night arrivers dive in and make an instant positive ...
