You’re right. I should have clarified. The side “shade” is nothing more than a few inches colorful fabric. Just something to add a nice visual element - not real shade at all.

After last years heat, I thought I’d try to put a shade canopy over my bike (and light it with some LED animations at night). I’m using tent poles and pipe clamps to anchor them to the back rack of the bike. Where I’m gettting stuck is: How best to attach to the front (not sure if handlebars are bes...

I'm running it off DC. Planning on getting some 8 gauge cable to minimize the voltage drop. And hoping that works...

Not a good idea to leave in car.
The fridge takes heat from inside the fridge and expels it to the surroundings. If the car is closed, the heat will build up inside the car.

Yes, of course. I can't believe I didn't think of that!
Thank you.
...gotta figure out my scheme for the fridge now....

a small "pup tent" is pretty dang cheap and would have screened vents and such. you could add some tarping to cut more sun out of the equation. with a good heavy fridge, you'd probably not have to worry about it blowing over/away. I'd still need to do shade over the tent, which may take me back to ...

If you go the aluminet route, get 3 or 4 large pool noodles to put between the net and the roof.

I like that idea!
Although I'm also thinking of constructing a heavy gauge extension cord and moving the fridge under the shaded tent area.

I'm wondering if throwing aluminet over the car will help, although there wouldn't be much of an air gap....

Hi all, I have a powered camping fridge in my car. With my battery and a solar panel, I should have more than enough power to keep things cold throughout the week. However, I'm concerned about leaving the fridge in the car due to heat build up in the car during the day. I'm not sure dragging a long ...

Everything BBadger said. I'll add to watch for friction points like backpack shoulder straps.
I learned the hard way about elbows and knees...

This sounds like a most excellent time.
I really hope I remember to find you all when burn week comes around!

DaisyMayBee, Thank you for your replies, and apologies for the tardy response. The Wonder Cabinet will not happen this year, I'm sorry to say. As I bounced the idea around (here and elsewhere), yours was the only response I received, and I do not have the capacity, this year, to tackle all the bits ...

The Wonder Cabinet As the name implies, the Wonder Cabinet is designed to inspire awe and wonder in the viewer and by that means, a change; a metamorphosis. Because exposure to wonders previously unknown causes the observer to reevaluate their position in the world and the cosmos at large. The obser...

I don't have a problem with this. They are providing background as to where they have been and established a reputation - I don't think they have to hide their time on the playa. However, Manish Arora is totally in the wrong on many levels. I might leave that discussion for another thread...I think ...

Well, the thing about the commissions from the google folks is that it is a way to actually support these artists that give so much to us on the playa. The time and money they expend is significant. I'm glad that some one (some group) with funds wants to use some of that to support the artists. I do...

Hey folks, long time, no post.
I'll be attending the opening as our camp has an item on exhibit and I thought it would be a fun thing to do.

I'd love to hear of any other related events, parties, get-togethers during that time. We're flying in Wed, leaving Sat.
Best,
Rev Dusty Nuggets

Just another THANK YOU! for a really great installation/maze. It was awesome fun and so well done.

Thank you!

Disclaimer: I don't know them and can't vouch for them. But I do believe they've been around for a bit.

Lots of good info/advice here...I'll be brief. The BIGGEST buzzkill at Burning Man (your first!!!! - how godamn wonderful! Really!) is drama and emotional issues tearing at you. It will keep you from being "there" and BMan is one of the best places I know to be in the absolute present and open to wo...

Arnoldo!
So glad you will be there! That was too long to wait for a ticket. Please stop by and say hello at Mohammed's Martini and Erotica Lounge, 9 o'clock keyhole.

Keep Burning Man Potentially Fatal. Always include beaks and eyeballs.

I am really starting to re-think about bringing eels. Spiced eels. From Korea. I also have squid jerky. And, some unidentified Korean fish jerky. What I AM looking forward to is some quail eggs....nummy! Re-thinking about NOT bringing it or bringing it? I'd love to have some, but watch out for the ...

I was greatly relieved to find a fireball in my ticket envelope.

But then I noticed it was OPEN! AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Can't bring myself to consume it, even though it's probably fine. (I'll have to find another for burn night).

For several years, I just tented in the shade of car or truck (morning shade so I could sleep longer). But there was always a communal structure for the cooler. A friend of mine uses a battery operated fan to sleep later in the morning. Depending on your setup, you could use the emergency blankets a...

Mohammed's Martini & Erotica Lounge will be in the 9:00 keyhole. We are expanding to include tea service daily at an appropriate hour and at least one evening we will turn into Mo's Kava Hut (tm). You've been warned. Love you guys! I have some schwag from your camp... Glad to hear it...do come by a...

I'll definitely be stopping by for the Green Hour!

Just got my email this morning. Direct sale, so no timestamp

Hard to wait so long!

It better come with an Atomic Fireball!!!!

In my best Cartman voice: "G'dammit!" Maybe I'll just build a monkey hut.

There's always beer, but Absinthe makes everything special.

Glad to hear so many are into Kim Chi. I'd love to taste what anyone cares to bring out, especially the homemade type.

Yum!
