This thread will die quickly...

[Foxfur]

Ever have an idea for starting a thread but don't, thinking "Oh that'll get about zero responses..."
Yeah, me too.
That's what this thread is for!
Just punch in what you would have posted or what you want to post as a thread and see what happens.
Be sure to use the 'Subject' box that's above the reply text box to enter your practice thread's title. It makes it even more real!
Then, after a little practice, get out there and begin creating the thriving threads you've only dreamed of!
Or failed threads! The key is that you no longer give a shit if they live or die. Yay!

Here's one of mine:
Two threads with the exact same title. All anybody would ever say in these threads would be along the lines of; "Oh! I thought this was the other thread!", or "Is this that thread or the other one?", or "This thread looks more that one than it does..."

See? It's easy!

And if this thread dies? Then I've met my goal in the title!
It's all about setting achievable goals, kids.
How can you possibly do the undoable?

Your friend,
Foxfur!

Now that the survival guides are arriving, it's time for a guide not just to survive, but to THRIVE on the playa!

Suggestion for the Thrivival Guide.

1. Buy your ticket.

2. Before starting projects or costumes, get all your basic gear together.

3. Plan a comfy place to sleep 24/7 so you can crash whenever the need arrises! (A well rested burner is a happy burner!)

And on and on.

Anything that will cut down on drama and stress.

This ornery thread would be occasionally bumped solely for the purpose of pushing the poor hapless thread at the bottom, off of page one and into eplaya oblivion.

Somebody told me Burning Man might sell out this year, but I don't believe a word of it. Now, where's my hookah?

Now that I have posted here, this thread will most certainly die.

Figjam, yes! This is exactly what I decided to do, last November, and yeah I got my ticket and a canvas tarp for Christmas... started from the ground up, and built a shelter... bought a tent to put inside it, and a hammock for day-time snoozing in the shade...

and now I have one more garment to finish. Leaving here 2 weeks from tomorrow.

Bwahahahahahaha, waiting to be bitch-slapped by fate now.

[Lassen Forge]

Never tempt fate, silly. The playa gods love to see people do that...

[OregonRed]

That with this being my eleventh Burn, I cannot even hope to pretend to be new to this any more...

Oh shit... I'm the voice of experience!

[Lassen Forge]

I'm still a journeywoman, this being... um... number 5 or 6 or something. Can't think of anyone more awesome as a giver of knowledge than you, hon!

(Something about the 3 stages of womanhood popped into my mind... Girl, Mother, Crone. --giggles--)

[OregonRed]

1. Have someone else wash your hair (and wash their hair in return).
2. Doing it quickly is never a substitute for doing it correctly.
3. Chocolate in the cooler is always a good idea.
4. They're not called costumes, they're called outfits.
5. Appearance is nothing.
6. The best sno-cones are the Barenjaeger ones.
7. Always ask permission.
8. Never use the Man as your landmark.
9. Evap fountains rock!
10. Dry coolers rock!

[Foxfur]

This place just keeps getting better!
I'm amazed. All of my favoritest Eplayans are right here.
I don't know TT120 yet but that will change. You know TT, that's what I thought but we both were wrong it seems.

[FIGJAM]

It falls right there under #2.

[MyDearFriend]

Bwahahahahahaha, I see a notable deficiency on my list of "Basic Gear."

[FIGJAM]

My head is still bruised from last year!

[Trishntek]

1. Assume nothing
2. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best
3. Do what I can and do not waste time and energy on things I cannot do.
