If you're looking for something basic, this evaporation pond works really well on a small scale:

Princess, I hope that Casanova has directed you to his infamous thread about naked people on the playa. He seemed a little stressed about the prospect. I trust he will get over it in time, hopefully before y'all arrive. (Naked people can smell fear!)

Welcome. :D

I know. Still, the "we" indicates that she is not speaking simply for herself.

we is a pronoun used to indicate the person speaking and an unannounced number of people. so when you said we in the post (after saying your bf would be camping with you), you included him in the invitation. Fishy is commenting on how with that inclusion the term "everyone" is not quite accurate.
We break to remind us how to mend.

So Casanova, what's this all about anyway? http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic. ... highlight= I don't think you addressed it in the main thread, so I'd really like to know in order to decide whether or not to give you a welcome to eplaya.

Someone's been using a pirate flag out there.

You may get a lot more people than you expect with that.

Welcome Princess and Casanova,

Hexayurts are great on the playa; they're wonderful to escape heat and storms. A campmate has had one for the last two years. In just that time they have become a very common site on the playa, second perhaps only to the standard issue Costco garage (my poison of choice).

On the nude thing, I've got no problem with your hangups. I'm a fat, middle-aged woman with pendulous tits, and I sometimes go nude on playa. It feels awesome. You are invited to look away, though I bet you won't. Lets face it, nudity is fascinating, if not always titillating. And if you continue to avoid humanity unclothed after your first burn, well, that's your problem, isn't it? Not mine to worry or fix.
