That's where I've always parked, but now that I think about that might be staff and long-term volunteer parking...?Jackass wrote:Between 5 and 7 looks like less intrusive turf to me, they already have a few containers and other junk parked in that area.
Don't those groups have actual camps within the city, or do they just insist on sleeping in their vehicles near their work stations? There's no art in that section of the city because it's a parking lot which no one frequents, which is why it would make sense to designate it as a parking area...It's basically a no-man's land anyways, except for the LEOs and their line of sight.trilobyte wrote:You guys think of that as junk, but people do live there.

Every abandonware vehicle that gets parked there is one less opportunity for people camping that bring art into the neighborhood.
I was with Paris during the entirety of last year's burn, and I can assure you, with complete confidence, that those words were never uttered nor were those sentiments ever expressed.Brundlefly wrote:Regarding the changes to the 9:00 side, last year Paris Hilton complained that there was not enough parking for her guests and it was taking her employees too long to replenish the ice at her plug-and-play.
Let me know where you want it and I'll make sure to park it there. I might even have a couch to throw on top. And feel free to give it a christening with the partner of your choosing. Or go solo.Jackass wrote:At least the flat bed trailer would make a nice, elevated platform to throw down a couch or beanbag and watch the sunset, maybe some sexy-time too. Who knows...

Pro-Tip: For those of you who will be new to BRC this year. After passing greeters (where you ring the bells and get major hugs), that huge empty area between 5-7 and the outermost ring road is all that lies between you and your camp.
Use extreme caution when navigating this area, as you're not quite out of the woods just yet. Here, the LEOs are basically shooting fish in a barrel. This is their barrel...Don't fuck around.
I think Trilo was referring to the DPW "ghetto" in the city (along D or F between 5 and 6 or so?) while you and I were referring to out by the fence.Jackass wrote:Don't those groups have actual camps within the city, or do they just insist on sleeping in their vehicles near their work stations?

They're like attack dogs, they'll think you want to play.
Have a humorous, easy going conversation with yourself instead.
This is where that humorous conversation with self and no eye contact really come in handy...mgb327 wrote:And be sure to NOT eat any cookies gifted in the entry line.
