This may be modestly off-topic, but I didn't want to start an entirely new thread. Three of us are driving in with early arrival passes on Saturday. One of us has his tickets at Will Call. Since we'll be in a box truck we'll have everybody's stuff. Can the one person going to Will Call, with his ea...

Totally on the opposite side of the city from me but I could probably be convinced to make the trek over there. For medical reasons, of course.

Well if that's how we're going to play, perhaps I'll just keep the whiskey at my camp and let you two fight over who's bringing the sun tea!

I only managed to make it to the very end of the M&G last year and missed meeting most of you I'll do my best to make it there earlier this year.

Any whiskey drinkers in the crowd? There are a couple of good distilleries here in CO, I'd love to bring some to share...

Second what Ano said. I inherited my Cranbrook from a neighboring camp several years ago...this will be its fourth year on playa with no tune ups and no flats. Several of that camp's other bikes, however (which were gifted to other people in my camp), were barely rideable after just that one week.

Three cheers for Pluto! Hip hip hooray!

Synapse Conduit at 8:15 and D will have shady space and I believe we are working on a misting system as well...feel free to stop by and rest your weary feet anytime!

I'd file a claim with USPS and maybe talk to someone at your post office. I have my tickets shipped to my PO box every year and I've never had an issue. Hope you get it worked out

Be prepared to pick up a lot of other people's moop. And bring your own TP/hand sanitizer, because the portos closer in tend to get a lot more use.

Paging Elliot...he'd be able to give you all sorts of advice, I think.

I agree with Captain...it's louder, and there's lots more people passing by at all hours of the day, but otherwise it isn't really that much different. Plus, it usually means you're closer to wherever you might want to go, which is nice.

Morning bar, long time no see! It's rainy and gray here and I had a very tough time forcing myself out of my nice comfy bed. Happy to announce that my camp has been placed, 8:15 & D, which is just what we were hoping for. Close enough to feel like we're in the action but not so close that we can't g...

Synapse Conduit, a new camp this year, has been officially placed near 8:15 and D! We will be offering a small bar/lounge space for intimate conversations and neighborhood connections, along with fortune telling and other games. Looking forward to having you all stop by!

Morning all, chilly here but no rain...soon enough it'll be snowing! Hot tea weather for sure. There's both a wolf sanctuary and a wild animal sanctuary here in Colorado. I've not had the chance to visit either but have heard good things, particularly about the wild animal one. Tigers, lions, bears,...

For the past couple years my campmates and I have gifted postcards and "merit badges" (stick-on patches), so I expect we'll be doing that again next year.

One of my undergrad degrees is in microbiology so this is a bit of soapbox topic for me...vaccines are not bad for you! Yes, they carry some risk, even the really safe ones. Some are riskier than others. Some are more important than others. I fully believe that everyone should be vaccinated except f...

(((Shroom)))(((Thecatman))) So sorry for both of your losses. Saying goodbye to a pet fucking sucks.

Afternoon bar! I ran 20 miles this morning. Somebody pass me a beer... I have no loyalties in the MLB playoffs because, well, I'm a Rockies fan, and if this season is any indication we'll never get there again. I guess I'm sort of rooting for the Giants simply because I have a lot of friends in the ...

The playa didn't steal it, it provided that gin to somebody else. I sure hope so, anyway, because otherwise that's just a waste of good alcohol.

Fuck, AntiM, sorry to hear that. Hope it's an easy fix and a quick recovery.

Morning all!

One too many beers last night. Good thing it's Friday. Happy birthday Unjon!

Your story made ME cry. I wish that everyone could experience what you did at the burn, even just a little piece of it, because that's what it's all about.

I have read, though I can't remember where, that they have evidence to indicate that dogs can be asymptomatic carriers of the disease, though there is no evidence to indicate that they can transmit it to humans. I'm sorry that they had to put the dog down but I think in this case it's better safe th...

I like the scavenger hunt idea. Bonus points if you manage to find another eplayan NOT at their camp.

Fuck no, I won't hunt you down. It is hippyish but also kind of true. His now former boss had been treating him like shit so it's really for the better.

As Lonesomebri said, it changes every year, sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. What constitutes better or worse is often up for debate. Every year there's speculation that it's the beginning of the end, or that the event is going to become something radically different than what we k...

Fuck. Bad news: boyfriend got laid off this morning. Good news: within four hours of finding that out, he's managed to land himself a new job. How fucking amazing is that?

Some of our bears here don't really hibernate...not that our winters are mild, just that there are enough people leaving trash out for them to have food all year round. I swear half of the calls to our police department are about a bear in a dumpster (or a tree, or a yard, or a house, or a car). Not...

Joeln - there's a weekly Burner potluck dinner down in Denver. I bet you could find some northern CO folks who might want to carpool down there occasionally.

At least some of those red and yellow camps still have moop on their mind...our camp was yellow this year and we're not happy about it. We aren't sure what happened because we didn't leave a mess, but regardless of where the blame lies we are already discussing how we can do better next year.
