Sorry, but I guess the only way to make any progress is to be honest, and that's how I feel. Very disappointed. That's cool, and I appreciate the constructive tone with which you offered your opinion, but I wonder if you've read the actual statement yet: "Ranging from Canada to Chad, from Brazil to...

I don't see any mention of storming off or that this is the biggest, most important issue that BM should deal with. I see a complaint that the "spontaneous" dancing was contrived and annoying, and a call to make a decision about the café's status as either commercial venture or art camp. Oh, and I c...

Burning Man deems coffee so important they break their own rules to bring us the café, yet if the quality of the product and the service is unacceptable no one can complain because "it's a mocha in the middle of the desert"? The café takes our money and provides a service. If the service is bad, the...

Where are you Justin?
We have a missing kid here, people. If anyone sees a ten year old boy with blond hair, tan shorts, no shirt, teva-like sandals riding a blue bike, please send him to a Ranger. Please pass this message on as not everyone is in hearing range of this announcement. Thanks.

There are a lot of people out there who use new agey touchy-feelyness as an excuse for sexual harassment. And then there are those who just do it without apology. The cops are out on the playa to bust us for drugs and having consensual sex in public. I propose we put them to work in a way that serve...

Your reasoning is exactly the same as "She was wearing a miniskirt, she deserved to get raped!" We all know most guys love tits. NO, it's not the same because I'm not talking about violence. I'm talking about men looking at breasts and taking photos. I'm making a distinction between the pornographe...

My camp mate had his bike stolen while he was on volunteer shift for the café. Like anywhere else, people are thieves - could be the drugs, could be the alcohol, could be the base level of morality. Either way, I locked up everything I wanted to keep this year,even though I'd had nothing stolen befo...

And I want to add to this thread a teeny weeny bit of understanding about these guys since, as women (I'm female), it is really hard for us to understand why they act so idiotically around naked breasts. And what, I think, we don't understand is how much men LOVE our breasts. I think, especially if...

Ugh, RebA! your story makes me so angry, I can't believe people have such gall. This year I said so many times that freedom of expression is just another term for sexual harassment at Burning Man - for some reason these men check their respect at the gate and think they can treat anyone like shit.

There was a screen displaying PETA type reels, animal abuse, etc. They were very disarming, I could have done without seeing them. After all, I am already vegan. All the political "art" that people bring out there, it's preaching to the choir in the most extreme sense. We already know Bush is bad. W...

I saw some signs up around the esplanade about the giardia thing, and those trucks are definitely non-potable, so getting it in any orifice or whatever is really not a nice thing. Ew, I feel dirty just thinking about it. I wonder if less people will shower under the dirty water trucks now. Sucks tha...

space chicken + beatboxer
in between the dream journals, bad poetry and relentless ranting about Bush, the open mic in center camp was taken by a rather talented beat boxer. during his set a large, plucked, alien-looking chicken man walked up and began to pop & lock while the beat boxer injected "bok bok bok" into his routin...
