Your camp/installation is your responsibility. If you can't be responsible to clean it up, then don't bring it in the first place.

besides the temple, anyone or group who dares to supercede the Man in height is doomed the next year.
let us not forget the gross pompousness of the Temple of Mez in 98', run by some recently fabulously wealthy microsoftie.
it had guest chefs, full time on site chemists making designer drugs, organic chai before there even was a Whole Foods in Seattle, and a 60' SCAFFOLD TOWER.... just yards from first camp, yup...the whole nine.
where are they now?
It was a desert fox, native to South America. She was out at the horesy build site and at Troy Camp It bothered me to see the animal out there. It wouldn't drink water, since it doesn't encounter standing water much in its life. It would eat veggies, however. Juicy veggies. There is a picture of her with the fox on a large media site. She was very nice.thekidsparrow wrote:There was a girl working the perimeter of the Trojan Horse the night it burned who was holding a cat (or maybe a small dog?) in her arms, hidden in her cape. Thousands of people, flaming arrows, fireworks, loud music....could you imagine if that cat ran out of her arms?
nope that was temple of gloom...junglesmacks wrote:Simon of the Playa wrote: they had no hierarchy, no apparent clue as far as how to run a successful large theme camp....im still waiting for the moop de moop map to come out before i name names...

Wait wait.. this just hit me like a ton of bricks.Raymaker wrote:the main thing that annoyed me were veteran burners responsible for theme camps, who when you approached them looked at you like you were shit on someones shoe, assumed you was there to rip them off, eventually gave you some attention but continued having conversations with nubile women when they found out you were there for an legitimate reason (which is just plain rude), then telling you they didn't have time to prepare what they were suppose to do in return for supporting their camp. next year I'll be very careful about who I'll have time for contributing to kickstarter to support them and it won't be the black rock french quarter

The difference between buying a ticket from a scalper and prostituting yourself for one is, if you suck dick for a ticket and brag about it, burners will still respect you.

Geeze, why else would you bring a generator and an airconditioner if you weren't going to use it to keep cool in the heat of the day?!daft wrote:Anyone using their generator to try and keep an rv cool in the heat of the day, empty bottles in the heads, and the dick who left the beer can in the evap pond. Considering it all..not too bad. One instance where I tripped out was when I overheard a couple arguing and yelling and then saw that she was leading him by a leash around his neck and making him behave. Not bad at all
That is exactly what we do. Since we have a youngster with us, it is easier to find a "hidden spot" to set up to watch the big burn from. And you never know, you might just meet some other cool people doing the same thing and have a good burn together.Eric wrote:For the Temple Burn I sat on the "pirate chest" on the Pier by myself. I had a perfect view and was surrounded by lovely small groups doing the same thing.
There is a reason I never get close to the Big Burns- it's so that I don't get upset expecting others to live up to my vision for the burn.
YMMV
