It's (still) official: leave your plants @ home

Post by retropsycho » Thu Mar 29, 2007 12:15 pm

NO PLANTS AT BURNING MAN

Given the 2007 GREEN MAN theme, you might be tempted to bring plants to our event in the Black Rock Desert.

Don’t.

Remember: Burning Man is probably the largest “Leave No Traceâ€
I will not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone . . . there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

In fact, think TWICE about POWER plants as well. Those deemed "plants" by virtue of being embedded for purposes of espionage will, however, be tolerated...subject to The Kernul's approval.

Damn!

I was gonna bring a strawberry pot planted with rosemary, sage, lavender and thyme for the camp kitchen.

If they can't trust you with a plant, how can they trust you with a monkey?

I have seen a lot of greenery come in.

It would be a shame if I had to resort to self-deception to preserve my faith in objective reality.

Yes, all types of plants are banned this year including IMPLANTS! (unless you allow me to feel, I mean 'test' them for suppleness)

Edibles are excepted:

Live foods
You can easily add sprouts to your Burning Man diet. All you need is a mix of seeds and/or nuts. If you're mixing, you need to know the approximate sprouting times for each (alfalfa, lentils, black beans, garbanzos, sunflower seeds, etc.), and a few mason jars with the metal list replaced with a piece of screen and then screwed on with the top. In most cases, the seeds should be soaked overnight and then strained and rinsed or misted a few times a day. Keep the jars tilted so they can drain. You can recycle the rinse water to wash dishes.
