Oh you are, are you?

Don't you have to squeeze into a samsonite first?

I talked to a lady and also a guy that are part of the Reno Regional for Burning Man in, you guessed it, Reno

And they both said I was fine, for me just to bring a notarized document signed by both of my parents, and we already have that, went and got it today!

You wouldn't want to post your parents phone number here, would you? I think it's important for them to know just what their minor daughter is getting into.
There's nudity there for crying out loud!

1) Mutant Vehicles / ArtCars

2) Fire / Pyro / Explosions / Flaming Pianos being tossed through the air

3) DUSTSTORMS!!!

Its really hard to pick a number one.. all 3 of those are a really close tie.

Glad to hear that you are going. I doubt you will have ANY problem at the gate, the notorized statement will cover ya just fine with a 21 year old present. Aside from that there is no rule barring you from the event. There are alot of younger folks and some babies too!

In no order:

wonderfully weird friendly people

art, from small to massive

music and dance

Mrs.Sunshine · Post by **Mrs.Sunshine** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 1:01 pm

Yes, that is the part I am most excited for, THE ART!!!!!!

Post by **AntiM** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 1:22 pm

People and art, fire and dust.

And that I'm a daily burner now that I'm on eplaya almost constantly.

Mrs.Sunshine · Post by **Mrs.Sunshine** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 1:32 pm

I have been on here non-stop, just reading and reading....

ALOT of interesting things!

Post by **AntiM** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 2:09 pm

I'm a volunteer moderator, so it is the closest thing I have to a job.

Mrs.Sunshine · Post by **Mrs.Sunshine** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 2:39 pm

Oh, thats really cool!

I want to volunteer at the zoo in Redrock (*about 20 mins away from reno)

You get to feed all the animals and stuff!!! That would be something I wouldnt want to be payed for!!!!

The fun, and experience is enough payment for me!

That is the only volunteer I have considered doing, everything else is just all office work, I dont want to be cooped up in a office all day, I get very figgety when in one room for a long period of time, and am not aloud to leave! Claustrophobia gets the better of me most of the time! I can get over it though, I just get really panicky! It is kinda fun though!!! Fear is something to play with!!!

Post by **AntiM** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 3:02 pm

Zoo, eplaya, not much of a difference.

MyLarry works hard so I don't have to.

Mrs.Sunshine · Post by **Mrs.Sunshine** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 3:09 pm

Oh MyJoshua (

) works really hard at the hospital, he always has to do other peoples jobs... He takes me to do so much...
And buys me the greatest things...
But I dont want all of those things I want hi to finish his Helicopter school, and stop spending money on me so he can start actually flying the damn things!

I spelled actually wrong, and right clicked on it to change it, and the only word that came up for a spell check was , ejaculate???????

Is there a comparison I am missing here?

Post by **AntiM** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 5:13 pm

Hey, your spell-checker not mine!

One of the reasons I call MyLarry that is because of Larry Harvey ... and my brother Larry and so on. Much confusion sometimes.

I like it that they keep the 17 year olds out.

BAS · Post by **BAS** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 10:04 pm

I'd like to try when I am actually healthy...
(Sinus infections and playa dust don't mix well... I found that out the hard way!)

I liked the wide open opportunities-- i.e., I could just be by myself if I wanted, or I could always find something going on, something to do, if I wanted. In the default world, that is actually pretty hard to do-- at least for me.

so, what's the secret to reading that tiny script........

BAS · Post by **BAS** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 10:18 pm

Copy it and paste it into Notebook, where it shows up as regular script. (I generally use tiny script when I don't think I have anything worthwhile to say.

)

gyre · Post by **gyre** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 10:22 pm

Bigger screen.
I'm on a 19 inch and I can't read most of that.

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Sat Nov 22, 2008 10:25 pm

yeah, mines 19 too...........I may try the notebook thing, but, had hoped for some click thing right on the page........

Just hit the "Quote" button like you're going to reply and you can read it just fine.

Hit quote and read plain text.
There are also programs that enlarge all type on the screen too.
There are almost certainly some other tricks I don't know about too.

LOL. I was copying and pasting into notepad for the longest time, until I realized the type was all the same size in a quote! Glad to be able to spare you time on the learning curve.

Not sure about PC's but on Macs you can just do a cmd+ to keep zooming in on a webpage. It enlarges everything except embedded flash stuff as far as I can tell.

I love how Duct Tape really gets its moment to shine..alabama chrome style.. and of course..the dust storms!
