Happy Anniversary Kelly. Good seeing you and Blackswan together. Add Judge and I to the Playa couple list. We met at our theme camp three years ago. We were friends the first year and remember thinking he was such a sweetheart. Second year the sparks ignated when we were working one night. Every tim...

Another vote for, I think this thread should have died. So why am I posting now? Been offline due to work overload, I'm a teacher. Many schools now issue IDs when class pictures are printed up. BM offering free tickets worth hundreds of dollar. Hmmm, why would they be so rude as to ask for proof of ...

You could always start a home brew movement.

Denied with no reason??

I am now beyond distracted. I thought that I didn't want to spend 18 days on the playa and that 12.5 would be just fine. Wrong. I can't think of anything else now. I'm like an addict on the Eplaya just trying to get a little fix of BRC. Thing is I don't have anyone cracking a whip over me. I don't o...

Bottom line: who really gives a flying flup. The man's going to burn in 14 days. What am I doing on the eplaya. Yikes!

No kidding, it's moving into panic time here and yet, I still find time to go online.

I didn't work Saturday last year, so I don't recall what time the Gates closed. But no, this is not a typo. Look under FAQ on the main site.

Newb here... Construction tips on building a personal evap pond? I'd just bring a kiddie pool, but that's not fitting in the economy-size rental car. :) Might get lucky and the camp will have a communal evap pond, but I'd rather be smart and CmYA... If you search the survival guide there's a sectio...

Sorry I didn't clarify, I was speaking for California.

Sorry, but I'm kind of doubting that this is a serious inquiry. But just to humor you and say you really wanted to do such a thing, let's look at how it will impact the event. The burning of the Stick Man is just one of many events at BRC. However it is the biggie. Do you think a bunch of people wan...

My nephew is Callahan. Might go with that last name. As for playa names, it's best if they come about situationally.

As long as we're pontificating, if it were my event I would also not sell any gate tickets and would close the gate midweek. I wish they didn't sell tickets at the Box Office but some people want to pay cash and they can charge really high priced tickets to offset the cheaper ones. They stop Thursd...

I'd love to see some cops on bikes too. Bet you'd get some sexy looking guys and gals, or they'd at least have great calves!

Good thinking. There's always someone you want to get in touch with after the Burn and then you loose that cocktail napkin or you actually try and commit the info to memory. Have you seen the Gigsville trading cards? They create art for the front and art and/or messages on the back, including email ...

I loved reading these stories. I can't think of any for myself, but for the interesting twists of fate that bring people together as friends and lovers at BRC.

As for the suggestion of moving to private land, it's my understanding that the one Burn year in the mid-90s that was held on private land was a real bad experience for BM org. I'll let folks who were around then fill in the details, but evidently there was so much price gouging for needed services...

consider getting my art piece out to deep playa.

OK, my head may have been in the clouds and I missed the thread where you described your art, but could you please tell me about it? Inquiring minds want to know.

Woo hoo Carnaval!!

If you bring a bike, you can ride out to farest ones. They're usually the cleanest with the shortest lines.

Wow, Miss Nev, what an amazing story. I think I saw a couple of posts indicating that you were pregnant at BM from the old Eplaya. Didn't realize it was that close to the end!

Did you sleep in a tent or trailer when preggers, and when you brought the baby?

Mama 2 Be, how are you these days and are you still planning on going?

this will allow you to adjust to your new pee-funnel friend and not dribble into your fabulous fake fur pants (no fun).

Good thinking. Thanks for the advice!

At the risk of sounding elitist, I'm gonna say that BM is basically an expensive party that isn't wise to attend unless you have the disposable income to blow and still keep your bills paid. Perhaps it has come to that for some people. Though historically it was about $23 to get in. Even now the Bo...

Funny Tig mentioned the Bears today.

Thanks LRB, I needed a spot of humor in the nightmare of this Presidency.

Agreed many are missed here. I'm assuming that people are getting down to the wire with getting tasks completed.

Legally, you must tell the caller that the call may be recorded or have a beep tone every (I think) 5 seconds or so. Whether it's admissable in court varies, but usually no. Remember the whole Monica Lewinsky thing and the tapes?

Yes, if you are driving a Department of Motor Vehicles registered vehicle that's a pretty good clue that you can drive through the Gate to your camp. If you're caught driving around the event with a vehicle not registered with the Dept. of Mutant Vehicles you could get it impounded or be ejected fro...

you might have to fight a gigsvillan for miss information (in the thunderdome? pretty please?) No all fights with Gigs Villains must take place on Mutaytor's stage. Sorry we only fight on our own turf. We prefer the unfair advantage. Besides it's close to the Car-B-Que where we dispose of the loser...

Someone was asking about this in another thread. There might be threads in the old Eplaya, but not the current. Would be curious is anyone who has been pregnant on the playa, would be willing to share their experience and tips.

Thanks!
