And Robbidobbs probably has a thing or three to say about this

Black Rock City has no indoor plumbing. Portable toilets are made available throughout the city. You will want to become intimately familiar with the schedule by which the ones nearest you are cleaned, and you will not want to camp downwind of one. Alternatives include personal silica gel waste pouches, which can render urine into solid form. These are used by spelunkers and available commercially, but can be homemade using silica gel cat litter, a large container, and a stir stick. Note that they can get quite heavy over use. At a minimum, bring several rolls of toilet paper in case the portables are out of it. Women have found it useful to bring large funnels so that they can effectively leverage the "urinal" ports in the portable toilets (to avoid contact with the toilet seats); these are invariably referred to as pee funnels.

HAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha!!!!!

whew...that's a good one!

and I was just gonna say it seemed like a pretty thorough and accurate description...except why list: "Public nudity is common at BRC" as a such a primary feature? Why not "Fabulous costumes are common at BRC" (which technically should be "IN" BRC, no?)

It isn't a prehistoric dry lake bed. It is the dry bed of a prehistoric lake. It is lake that is prehistoric, not the dry bed.

Should it be art festival instead of festival?

Center Camp is one block "out" from 6:00 and the Esplanade.

Yeah, I didn't see that posting because we were both posting at the same time.
