The best rumors you have heard about Burning Man this year.

[tattoogoddess]

I heard a burner web out to the trash fence to get pictures of the burn from a distance. He was about to take a picture when he heard rustling behind him, when he turned around and there was Bigfoot, standing at 7 feet tall and looking down on him.

Hottest costume EVER! But at least he blends in.

There's a rumor that BMORG got authorization from the BLM to sell 75,000 tickets. There will be plenty of tickets for everybody, and many people will be stuck with any extra tickets they bought.

[ygmir]

due to budget cuts, gate will only be 2 lanes, and only during daylight hours.
If you don't exit hwy 80, and get in line in Wadsworth, by opening Monday, you won't get there before the Man burns.

Who the fuck are you and what have you done with Packoderm?


Something's going on here.

Not only that, in the 15,000 ticket tertiary sale, the pricing tiers are $200, $240, and $280, with 5000 tickets in each tier. The sale begins on May 6th, 12:00 PST - which is National Tourist Appreciation Day.

Tertiary tickets come with a 14k gold electroplated commemorative 2012 burning man dollar coin - a unique and collectable gift that will never be minted again.

An army of fire marshals numbering around 10,000 will storm the gates and stop all fire unless you have the proper permit.

Prince Harry was there last year.

2010 was the last year. There is no Burning Man, but people keep showing up anyway.

[Bin Noddin]

2011 was the last year. Turn off the lights and go home.

My mom told me this one: I will not survive BM and will bitch and moan all week long.

Ha Ha oh mom you are to cute.

[JDCookMS]

I heard that Burning Man is nothing but a gigantic sting out in the desert where the government tries to catch drugs. They use your ticket money to fund the operation and then take you to jail for just showing up.

[Savannah]

My mom told me this one: I will not survive BM and will bitch and moan all week long.

It seems like she needs to choose just one, there. Unless she's implying that you will bitch & moan all week long, reaching a dramatic fever pitch on Saturday night, when you will shriek your final complaints and swan dive gloriously from the top of the 'Man into the roiling flames below?

(In which case, tell her: "Sorry mom, they close the 'Man's platform on Friday night. It's either die instantly when a night-time skydiver lands on me, or nothing.")

[moonrise]

Please, please tell us all moms are NOT right, please. Take a chill pill and/or drink a LOT of booze.

It has been a tourist trap for a very long time.

Ok ot sure if I want to come now. You got me freaked out about the sky divers. Maybe mom was right!



Totally looking forward to seeing the sky divers. It is something I have always wanted to do. Maybe some day I will get to. One thing at a time

I overheard some actual fraternity brothers at Whole Foods talking about how they cornered lottery registrations ... evidently the entire Greek Council of UC Irvine are in on it! UC Freaking Irvine. I just cancelled the Credit Card I used for the lottery so I don't have to suffer with those douche bags! Don't know how they'll tie in the Elephant Dance into Fertility 2.0. It doesn't make any sense, but they will. They were talking about it the bulk food aisle. Since when do Frat boys eat lentils?

[tattoogoddess]

LMAO. Thanks I now have pepsi in my nose.

So that's what those things are for?!! Like a venus flytrap for tourists....

the speed limit on the playa has been raised to 55 mph.

At some point on Friday, August 29, 2012 it became overwhelmingly clear to the promoters of the Burning Man Arts and Music Festival that they were being overrun. The tide of enthusiasm, the groundswell, was growing out of control. It was an emergent, organic, spontaneous overflow of a social stream that had been brimming for quite some time. To try to bend it to their will, to try to put up barriers and walls, was little more than a exercise in futility. Forces outside of their control were making decisions for them— profit be damned.

Shortly after OWS/eplaya-renagades cut the fences open. MC Larry Harvey announced “It’s a free festival from now on.” What else could they have done?

[The CO]

If you bought your ticket in the xmas presale, you can pick two people from the lottery that will get a tier I ticket.

[CornMan]

Oops, I meant Wednesday not Friday.

The pre-Manburn show this year, instead of the fire conclave, will feature a SparklePony rodeo to a DubStepInTheRound sound track with all MV's linked to whomp in sync...

[trilobyte]

/me has visions of some kind of ranch-themed camp holding sparkle-pony rodeos and fancy pants hoe-downs… could be awesome.

[lemur]

in 2012 the participant run WIFI around center camp will NOT BE BLACKLISTED on EFnet or UNDERNET!! and we will be able to IRC all we want without using proxies or SSH tunnels!!!

woo hoo!!

[knowmad]

I Heard the new permit process mandates that Nevada State police are to be embedded in every placed theme camp.

[Roberto Dobbisano]

dude thats so 2000 and LEight...

this year Theme Camp Members will be embedded with the Washoe, Pershing and Humboldt Sheriff's Dept.

[FlyingMonkey]

I read on Facebook (so it must be true) that even "The Man" didn't get a ticket this year so we are going to burn all the RVs instead. I bet BMORG feels silly now

Oh, and the sky is falling too.

[AntiM]

Burning Van! Burning Van!

[FlyingMonkey]

That sounds catchy. Just leave my bus alone.
