That was my foot. I'll be heading back out in two weeks and will post more swishing when I return.MacGlenver wrote:Fuck you're good.... Though I was referring more to the ground conditions (eg. the video of the guy swishing his foot thru 3 inches of playa powder). Doubt that'll change in the next 5 weeks unless they get a lot of rain.FIGJAM wrote:Click on animate...

Thx tho -- this is really cool too.
I'll be in suits, don't worry. I'm just going to rethink the heaviest ones (two years ago I was super late to the MnG because I had to wait for it to get cool enough for me not to melt in my vest, cravat & formal penguin-tails)BoyScoutGirl wrote:Damn!

Woot! Swishing incoming. Thx! I look forward to (dread) the video. I think the ideal demonstration would be to write my name in the dustweather man wrote:That was my foot.

(yes Yggy, still looking! I haven't even found any large enough for me yet!)
That's what I heard.lemur wrote:its hard packed playa and nobody expects any dust.. plus, the weather is gonna be in the 70s all week..
Does this mean that once the initial arrival is over, they'll shoot or lynch the idiots throwing tons of dust into the air by speeding (anything above 10 mph) across the playa to get to gate?steve.t.sullivan wrote:

One year I convinced several hundred people Daft Punk was playing at some random inner city camp and there were a ton of people there. I also convinced an entire camp of virgins they weren't burning the man that year due to wind conditions. hahaha... I have heard its gonna be a hot, hellish dustbowl akin to 2008 as well. Hoping someone who has been out there lately can either confirm or deny these accusations. I guess I could just drive out there this weekend and find out myself...
People have been watching the developing conditions, along with having fun, including reports from people who've visited on-playa.Theres Always One wrote:Came to this thread hoping for some honest answers....

Figjam, I have been watching too and it looks like it is getting dustier, maybe it's just smoke though. Only about a week ago you could see the mountains in the distance in the center of the camera, but they are now obscured.FIGJAM wrote:I check this link a couple of times a day and most of the time it looks dusty out there.
