on the way back to california, at the Border, admit to the officer that you could indeed classify the other passengers of the RV as either fruits, or vegetables.

Those people on the way to BM with signs saying "Need tickets" are people who were legitimately screwed by the ticketing tier system and need your help.

Go ahead and build that campfire, because isn't Burning Man about burning shit, and how are you going to roast your wienies? And don't worry about leaving the burn barrel going, someone will want to stand next to it, so that means it is attended.

Pull over on the shoulder of highway 447 and take pictures of the desert and multiple group photos leading up to BRC.

Some people may drive slow on 447 because they are taking in the beautiful scenery. Ignore congestion and feel free to pass as many cars as possible since there is never any oncoming traffic and all drivers are nice and will let you merge if you can't find an opening.

There are no police between Gerlach and BRC so this is a great time to start drinking your roadbeers.

Ignore your vehicles temp gauge on the climb from Wadsworth and Gerlach, the higher altitude makes it read much hotter than it really is.

The 5mph speed limit is just a guideline since many people are intoxicated at the event, feel free to drive faster if you are sober.

The porta potties are the perfect place to leave your trash or beercans since they are cleaned out often. You can also use whatever toilet paper you want since they have new suction pumps that are much stronger than they used to be.

I actually have done that. The lady just chuckled.
Coming from Oregon, since they know where I am going, (pretty obvious) they don't even usually stop me since they know I'm just driving through to Reno.

walking around with no illumination is perfectly acceptable- most bikes and artcars have headlights so you will be seen.
be sure to drop your cig butts wherever,especially at night.this will make someone feel like they contributed during moop patrol.
never aproach your neighbors,just wait for them to come to your camp and ask you for duct tape upon arrival.this way you can be certain they are not cops.
dump your pee funnels and grey water where you please-remember it's just sand.the waste will be absorbed in no time!
and remember,it's okay to have everyone else in your camp do everything.this is burning man,and you're here to party and prance around in hot pants and pasties!

You don't need sunblock. The high altitude keeps away sunburn.

Those black & white cars all over the place give rides to the bar camps- you can spot them by their name on the side- BLM (Booze & Liquor Machine). The Sheriffs are there to get Burners back to your camp safely from a night of partying.

Alright, it's page two so I can say my anti-snark advice:

Do not give medical advice to anyone, on-playa never-ever! Even if you are a Dr. or nurse, shut the fuck up! (unless you are working a shift in the med-tent).

Do not give legal advice to anyone,on-playa never-ever! Even if you are a judge, attorney or paralegal, shut the fuck up! (Unless you are on the LEAL team).

Aren't I a buzzkillington.

When your camp mates agree to set up your theme camp in the cool of the morning, starting at 7am, have coffee and breakfast ready for them, as they will be anxious to work hard early to get a jump on the heat and wind.

Give your fellow eplayans the benefit of all your free medical and legal advice.

Bwahahahaha, if you come across a doctor or nurse in BRC you should immediately show him your feet/throat/asshole or whatever else is bothering you... oh and piss for him, right there, so he can see how nice and clear it is even though you never drink water.

If you need to poop and you are no-where near a potty. Just poop where you stand. Then walk over to the artery and register your newly created "art project"

After each meal feel free to scrape your plates into the Porta Potties. And make sure you toss you eco-friendly styrofoam cups and plates into any fire you might see.

The BLM Rangers love it when you give a false name and address! They love the challenge of figuring out who you really are.

Obviously, it's a good idea to not talk to wizards or fairies since they are busy making the playa magic happen.

You don't need a tent or shade stucture.

If youâ€™re dehydrated from too much E and too much dancing, go to Center Camp. The baristas, who are totally empathetic and are working for good karma, and not tips, will take money from their tip jar to buy you an electrolyte drink. If they are busy, just reach in there and get it yourself, they understandâ€¦.â€

I can't recall how many nights I've slept out there just like that.

Usually I woke up with "glory hole" sharpied on my forehead or with my kilt around my ankles and a bunch of condoms strewn around.

If I can't remember... It didn't happen.

Your unconcious form does make a lovely cushion for the orgies.

Are you trying to tell me the fairies have already bought all the tickets

is it too early to panic still?

graidawg · Post by **graidawg** » Sat Mar 05, 2011 4:00 am

its perfectly ok to tell the 12 year vets you are burnier than them, they realise that you as new burner have read everything and so, of curse you understand whats going on better than them.

also give medical and legal advice for the same reason. you read the threads and know everything especially if you just turned 21.

CornStar · Post by **CornStar** » Sat Mar 05, 2011 5:30 pm

There are no real police at BM, those are all just costumes and art cars. The majority of these pranksters are part of the death guild and if they start talking to you, its really just an invitation to practice for thunderdome, so go ahead throw some bows.

Eat everything and anything offered to you as a 'gift'

Including those very delicious homemade marshmallows, you can say 'thank you' a week or two later...........

Do not confuse the common fairies with the only true Green Faeries who appear after moderate consumption of absinthe. Green Faeries have no use for tickets and their magic is discreetly positioned among the FROG BALLS!

If you want to arrive early, go right ahead, there are lots of people there already the week before, so if you get there Friday or Saturday, they'll let you in.

Everyone shares everything, especially bikes. If you don't want to bring a bike of your own, go ahead and ride any bike that isn't locked up, that's what they are for.

Oh yes, someone took that advice to heart with some of our bikes. I have a pro Playa bike tip from personal experience:

There's safety in bike numbers. Nobody will even attempt to steal your bikes if they're in a heap only 15 feet away from you as you watch a fire dance. Go ahead and not use that lock you paid $10 for and left on that bike.
