Self-righteous, wealth-resenting burners running amok

[Lonesomebri]

Next stop...BMORG board of directors and my own PnP camp! And I'm setting it up right next to where you're camping next year.

Meanwhile the actual citizens of Black Rock City are crucifying the beloved and respected pink Jesus for running interference for the Bmorg sell-out where ever he posts on the internet.
Imagine how they feel about you faded shit-bucket carriers.

You can set up wherever you want, as long as it's not space reserved for a placed Theme Camp, or space taken by a for-profit hotel with early entry and connections.....
Set up next to me, wonderful, my crotch-high rebar tent stakes will be there to greet yo......err......well....anyone with balls.

Actually, the more I think about this, I am coming to the conclusion that a total PnP experience is impossible no matter how much money a person spends. With the harsh and unexpected conditions of the desert, people, regardless of how much money they spend, need to be prepared far beyond what their money can buy.

That being said, there really is no good reason there can't be an upscale experience that actually combines both worlds. There's no reason that PnP camps can't require their attendees to read the First Timers Guide, Survival Guide, The 10 Principles. There's no reason that PnP camps can't make it a requirement that their members moop, help with certain basic elements of setup, working the bar or whatever activity the camp provides.

After all, it seems that the main reason everybody is bitching about PnP is that the members don't have to do anything--and consequently they really aren't prepared for desert conditions, they don't learn the essence of the event and consequently they aren't getting the full value of their investment no matter what the cost.

So what then, if they don't actually have to do all their own cooking (though there could be a pot luck lunch or dinner requirement), or building their own shelter or packing in all of their supplies.

Wouldn't that keep everybody happy? (more or less )

My bitch in this fight is JT. Fuck you Borg member pay for play moop dropping motherfucker. You're a fucking BORG member. Did nobody else on the Borg not mention any of the principles or were your eyes to bright and shiny with the expectation of making a buck or making more connections with your new found, I mean bought cred to listen?. Fuck you.
The rest of the PnPs don't really bother me much. YMMV

What does JT mean? Is that John Tanubomb?

and what does YMMV mean? Thank you for helping the clueless

[GreyCoyote]

Tatonka: YMMV = your mileage may vary.

Boy, they sure tore Halcyon a new oriface over on the BMORG Blog. His Pinkness stepped rather hard upon the minefield. Oops.' You'd think they would have warned him...

[TT120]

JT is Jim Tannenbaum
YMMV is Your Mileage May Vary

I feel sorry for Pink Jesus. I actually like that guy and he stepped into a minefield with no warning. I believe he is NOT affiliated with the BORG at all.

Has BBadger been posting lately? I'm curious if his thinking has changed around what is going on with the PnP.

I think the class warfare angle is losing steam.

The nature of the camps and the genie in that bottle is rightly getting more focus.

[Simon of the Playa]

actually,

IM JUST GETTING STARTED ON THE CLASS WARFARE.



because the problems out here in defaultia are beginning to creep into BRC, so instead of changing BRC, i'm gonna change Defaultia.



It's Full On Commie Time for me.....

seriously.

BM is a Mirror, and that mirror is reflecting the coming Revolution.

[moonrise]

Wow lone, them links are somewhat messy, eh?

One of my favorite things to do on playa during the burn is to give a BIG, all-over dusty, charcoal encrusted hug to those wearing pure white anything...haha...I've even learned to carry charcoal (in my pockets) and crush it up in my hands and rub a dub dub it all over them Purdy white "outfits" haha! Prank? Maybe, maybe not... Huh, maybe I'm doing them a favor? Hahahaaaa!

PS If it weren't a MOOPY idea, I'd say let's ALL bring thousands of wrist bands in every color and have even more fun! *shrug* (for now...) Pranks are fun!

The festival company that is stocked with Burning Man insiders is hyping the Simpsons episode in order to increase the ticket demand, not increase the quality of BRC citizen. What a bunch of sell-outs.

[moonrise]

It's a festival? No longer "The Project" ?

I recall waaaay back when there was a "shout out" that reached my living room asking for help with some trippy hippies (yea, I went there bc it's TRUE) that had a need for "free" help to throw a big party to burn a wooden man... So, I went along for the ride for a few years in the early 90's. 'twas fun back then & still is. I say we flood the place with wrist bands... heh heh. (I also know of a strong rumor as to where the street signs go) lmfao! I will say I appreciate the DPW or whoever for printing the streets in tiny lettering on the metal posts at most corners. Okay, I'll shut up for now (I know too much, too)

Then suddenly moonrise was the next jimmy hoffa

[moonrise]

Funny! ^^^^

UJ, your wit and humor is sharp as a razor lately. I'm glad for that and it gives me hope for myself.

We had a VIP area and all access wrist bands in the OC Souk.

VIP elevator rides to the Man's head with prime Burn view seating!

Life imitating art, I suppose. Or, I think it might have been art imitating life. But, you get the picture.
