Its more of a cheezy refrence to my desire for info. I like to throw myself into projects so I'm currently soaking up any information I can possibly get, hence the sponge refrence.
It'd probably be cool to work that into the theme tho huh.

Understandable, I probably shouldn't have jumped to conclusions XP I"m working on that.motskyroonmatick wrote: My comments were general in nature to contribute to this thread. The FYI was not pointed at you but more of an aside to the coffee lovers who in good nature like to point out that a life with out coffee is unimaginable.
I think in this year we're going to be camping more often, so I'll talk to my boyfriend about going to higher elevated places.motskyroonmatick wrote:I have found the people who have the greatest difficulty feeling comfortable on the playa are the ones who are really overdoing it in some manner. Too much mind altering substance of one or another makes the conditions harder to bear. If you start to feel grumpy drink a liter of water. A bad mood, frustration or irritability often are the first signs of dehydration.
The elevation of the playa is about the same as the the mountain passes leading over to central oregon and roughly about the same as the central oregon high desert plateau. If you have spent any time near Bend that is roughly what the altitude is like. I think the dryness is the biggest factor to overcome. Being well rested before the event although nearly impossible to pull off would really help.
Don't worry about it. Plan for it yes! Worry about it? No.
Edit--My latest favorite is Tequila and Coke. It is better with more top shelf liquor but once you get past the idea of the drink it is actually quite good.
I think the truth of the matter is, many of us may not be prepared for the sponge.Simon of the Playa wrote: Yes, i would like to think that we are indeed, Sponge Worthy.
I used to be a Jack & Coke guy but I might have to switch. *hick!*
Don't get too carried away with carrying things though; keep in mind that it's a big place and you'll be exploring it mostly by bike or walking. Think like packing to go on a hike- bring only what you need or won't get tired of hauling around.Yeah I get what you mean about taking only what I need, but I'm the kind of person who thinks "well I may need my sketchbook or my notebook or this or that" and take it anyway.sattelite5812 wrote:I'm not sure about exact elevations, but I don't think there's that dramatic of a difference in elevation between PDX and BRC. At least, I didn't notice any adjustment period, and no one locally has mentioned such an experience.
However, I don't drink coffee, so maybe that could make a difference. But mainly (as I understand it) because caffeine is a natural diuretic, so it would contribute to dehydration. Staying hydrated is of #1 importance out there anyway, so make sure you're drinking water at all times and you'll probably be fine.
P.S. camelbaks rock! Having the bonus space to carry other necessities besides water is great :) Don't get too carried away with carrying things though; keep in mind that it's a big place and you'll be exploring it mostly by bike or walking.

we packed as much of her house, including the spice rack from the kitchen, into, onto and under my Jeep Cherokee.
everything was "Just in case"
none of it got used.
i suggest an OCD enema, and two anal retentive electroshock therapy sessions and alot of cheap beer to give you that "I'm so fucking dirty and tired and drunk i dont care WHERE my fucking tent is" kind of feeling.
then all of your supposed needs will be washed away like the stray cows in ravines known as gullies when the rain comes.

I'll keep that in mind. I'm not too good at detecting or returning snark, so this will be good for me. My workplace is full of people with quick remarks and I my mind never works fast enough to say something back.FrostyMan wrote:I think he means for gifting.skittles.loli wrote:Wait, so eat candy or don't eat candy?Simon of the Playa wrote:oh dont mind me, i'm having a low sugar moment.

Simon is the King of Eplaya Snark. Don't take him too seriously, just take notes.

Well, isn't it half the fun waiting to see where the "tube" pops in?skittles.loli wrote:LMAO!Captain Goddammit wrote:Perhaps you should be more... uh... discreet about where you stick your sippy tube.
Oh wow, that was awesome.
I was thinking of making the tube go through a strap so it stays near my shoulder and not find itself in... unexpected places.
