Though I vote for no change, I agree that it's inconvenient for some. I'm a manufacturer, and it's one of my busiest weeks. But, well, fuck it. If I wanna see the Man go, I gotta be there. Next year, I hope I make it (I missed 2001 and 2002). And if I do, I'll give all of you chips and salsa! --We a...

Oh, I dream of Burning Man at the most inconvenient times... I often find that when I'm having a, well, sex dream, suddenly I'm on the Playa and I'm crusing from camp to camp looking for my wife (lover). Often, we find each other at a particularly memorable piece of art (this year, both the Yard Gam...

Business Retreat

My wife and I bought a business a year ago. Guess where our corporate retreat was this year...

Sorry GuavaS. Didn't mean to sound negative. It's just that, IMHO, a party barge isn't art. It's cool; it's a great time, it's like a party in your, well, your car. But, is it art? C'mon.

My 2cents

Glad I missed the shark out there -- I wasn't out many late nights this year. But I did notice a horrific number of people who put a frame, a deck, and some glitter on their pickups, towing generators. While I firmly believe that "art" is what you deem it to be, not what I deem it to be, I do think ...

For me, I know it's over when I brush my teeth at home, in the mirror, with a sink and water running, fresh from the shower. Immediately, I start thinking of cool shit to make for next year. Thank <insert diety of choice> for www.coolneon.com. www.sureglow.com. If I ever actually get the surrey buil...

I agree, Ivy. StarBoy, knuckle down and get on with it! Remember, a big part of BurningMan is it's temporary nature. Don't get hung up thinking life should be BurningMan. Life should be life, and the lessons of BurningMan should be lived yearlong. Glad to be back home to start working on next year's...

why the hell do people take children out to a place that's dirty, unsanitary and has a lot of adult themed entertainment Dirty? Soap is made from the same sort of stuff that makes up the playa... Unsanitary? Well, the portapotties maybe... but our camp was pretty sanitary. Adult themed? Okay, you g...

Um, yeah, right.

:idea: Not only read the back of your ticket, but do do some sort of critical thinking here. If members of your camp got sick, and it's all the same thing, then stop sharing utensils, pipes, candy, body parts, etc. I came back pretty healthy. My wife has a bit of playa lung, but there was a lot of d...
