Phew! OK, made it :D Sail Man looks around, still no sign of JK. We're safe, so far......

Twang! Hi there, welcome to eplaya. You'll have to excuse me there, in my own little world, I just won the lottery :lol:

So you can swing a hammer and pick up trash, eh? But can you pull rebar and de-moop? And I've eaten turtle, does that count? Tastes like chicken :D

I wish I had a rocket powered bike, cuz the playa conditions made my ugly butt hurt :( Playa dust never leaves your car. You'll think you've made it all go bye bye, but when you least expect it, oh look, there's some more :D
The price structure is in place to keep naked hippy ravers from attending. After all, we do have an image to uphold. Yessiree Bob. We're all about Dockers and Izod shirts.

An, unless you want something furry growing on your palm, I'd wear latex when you shake JK's hand. :P

Whats this "Burning Man" you speak of. This is a message board for coprophagic businessmen with severe meth addictions.

...isn't it? :?

Fuck!

I gotta give my bookmarks more identifiable names :shock:

This is Burning Man, not Burntout Man!

Welcome Twang! Hope to see you on the playa!
A plan is what you vary from.

Destiny Lounge 3D will be at Bradbury and 3:15 this year as a part of the 404: Village Not Found group of camps! Come see us!

I think he's referring to the travel agency of the same name, which offers a BM 'tour'.

Green Tortise

Yeah the travel group out of San fran. All the fun of burning man, with out the hassles. It's either the best deal around, or really lame.

It's really not a bad way to go for virgin burners. That way you don't have to worry about infrastructure your first time. I think it is way less stressful, and likely less expensive for the newbies.
