Post by stormfeather » Thu Aug 14, 2008 12:16 pm

Just wondered if anyone knew where the potties will be placed.

Squat on some newsprint and toss it in a burn barrel.

By Thursday or Friday they'll have the smell-o-vision systems installed and you'll be able to home in on them whether you like it or not.

Otherwise, they're usually three blocks or so up from the Esplanade on every radial and also out on the playa.

In 2004 there was apparently some confusion after somebody put "Republican voting booth" stickers on many of them, and it's an election year so be careful where you hang your chad. (Look what happened last time.)

It didn't seem like they were on every radial last year, but maybe they were staggered so I missed them.

That's how it goes in guy-world. We miss the potty all the time when we stagger.

the boys won't help you.. they can pee ANY where... Here is the info.

For your convenience and sheer relief, there are a plethora of porta-potties distributed throughout Black Rock City. They can be found on radial streets, off the 2:00 and 10:00 arms, and out in the open playa. They're emptied round-the-clock by a fleet of trucks who make a continuous 24/7 circuit once the city fills up. Please be considerate of other BRC residents and their porta-potty needs by keeping the lid down, and not dumping garbage in the potties. The rule of thumb is "if it didn't come out of your body, it doesn't go in the potty!" And that includes baby wipes!!

my advice though.. is to carry some kind of " containment system " with you.. just in case.

I bring my own. It's so nice having no waiting and they are always clean and stocked with porn and toilet paper.

Porta-potties located between C and D, at least on 8:00 and 8:30 spokes.
