Oh you silly virgin. Just wait until you are still finding dust in cracks and creases of your body in mid-November. Then we'll see how much you like that shit!winebuff wrote: I know there will be dust in the rv. No biggie. Not worried about it. More to bring home and play with later with a big smile on my face!

and you know Pyro, I read the Rules for Overseas at BM 2010 very carefully and they also say, that the leader of the RV in which overseas newbie is coming to BRC, or the leader of the camp where this innocent person is staying, and I believe you are both, is responsible of no harm ( physical or psychical) to this person, so he himself welcome the newb at airport (or train/bus station) naked, singing the national anthem of the newbs home country. The newbie can deside if this person sings all parts or just the first two. Well, Czech anthem has only one part,but long... good luck with learning Doc! It is pretty hard to sing it right.
Thanks for the detailed tips swampdog. Do you have any photos? Thanksswampdog wrote:re: greeters. Greeters are other burners who decide to contribute by welcoming people to the playa. They do it (I assume) partly because they want to contribute but mostly because it sounds like fun (I've never managed to get myself signed up but I do think it sounds like a blast). There is no protocol (as far as I know) except information they are supposed to provide and limits (I assume) on what they can do without permission. So a carful drives up and the greeter goofs and messes with them as it entertains them (and hopefully you). If you don't want to do something the greeters ask, just say "no". If you want a rowdy good time, be rowdy and fun and funny. If you want a hug, and they don't offer one, ask. Same for bell ringing, dust angels, spanking. That actually kinda goes for the whole event. What you bring inside will be reflected back to you in weird and wonderful ways. That's why I go, anyway.
re: shower. I'm pretty proud of my shower design for this year. There are I think 3 goals for a shower
1. Clean the body
2. Privacy (optional)
3. Get rid of the dirty water.
Most people concentrate on #3, 'cause it's the hardest. I found a solution that provides all 3 and is cheap and easy. I keep meaning to do a writeup on it, but haven't yet. Here's the short version, feel free to contact me for details.
I used PVC pipes and fittings to make a square about 4' on a side. Think of this as a clothesline. I used more PVC and fittings to raise this clothesline about 4 ft off the ground. So you've kind of got a cube outlined in PVC on the sides and top. We'll call this "the frame".
Lay out a sheet of black plastic on the playa about 2 feet bigger than the frame on all sides. Duct tape some 1x2 (or so) to make a square bigger than the towel frame. Lay it on the black plastic, roll up the sides of the plastic and duct tape them to the wooden square. Now you've got an evap pond. (yeah, you can nail or screw the wooden sides together. But duct tape is easier and more forgiving. And if this thing works right the duct tape should hardly if ever get wet.).
Place your towel frame on the black plastic and mark out where the feet hit it. Set it aside. Drive some 2' rebar on the marks halfway into the playa (yep, right through the black plastic). Put the frame over the rebar so the rebar slides up into the PVC legs. (I think tihs sounds complicated, a lot of steps. Trust me, it's dead easy). Ok, so now you've got your cube-ish PVC shape set over rebar stuck through an evap pond). Tie or strap the top of the structure down to the playa. In the detailed description you'll realize that you can pass rope or strap through the side rails of the top square of the PVC structure, but here in words it probably sounds like gobbledy-gook. Anyway, strap that bad boy down so it won't blow away.
Now, hang towels along the top square and clip them together in such a way that they won't blow off the "rack". You can arrange them to provide the degree of privacy you desire.
I used a garden pump sprayer for my water supply. You could also pretty easily find a way to support a solar shower above this structure. Let's call that an extra credit problem.
So go ahead, take your shower. When you're done, take down a dry towel and dry yourself off. Then mop up your shower water with your towel. Rehang your towel and it will dry quickly in the playa sun. For more people, get more towels. If you want to separate your body towels from your mop up towels, feel free to bring even more towels. (you're getting them practically free at the thrift store or something, right?)
I supported 4 or 5 people for occasional showers this year, I think the design would handle 4-6 daily showerers or 8-15 occasional.
How much do you think the entire contraption would cost? Sounds handy for my group of 15..EmilyD wrote:Thanks for the detailed tips swampdog. Do you have any photos?

I am running full speed towards the bell and screaming my head off while smashing it like I'm trying to kill it.theCryptofishist wrote:The bell is still there, but I think it's optional. Greeters may or may not push that depending on factors.
Haha, ahh this guy has become a legend. I wouldn't worry, if he tries that again his blower will be crushed under RV wheels in seconds, everyone has it out for that twat.winebuff wrote:I heard a guy was blowing dust into rvs.

Then there was my friend at a regional who smacked me unexpectedly with a boat paddle, right across my arthritic tailbone. Crap, that hurt. He was really sorry, and promised he would ask first from then on.
But if you love to be spanked, there's world class spankers in BRC!
I got a visual of one of those goats who pass out when they get scared.. umm.. I'm NOT calling you a goat.
