Hi
I have a flight leaving on Sunday Sept. 1, 2013 at 12:25PM from the Reno airport.
What time would be the most ideal time to leave? (as in I won't be cutting it close enough to think about dropping a fortune on a changed flight)?
I was thinking about getting the Burner Express day of at 6AM or try to catch a ride with people-- suggestions on when to catch a ride with someone if I go that route or suggestions in general?
Thanks!

Assuming you want to see the Man Burn -- ten seconds after that, yes. But... as I have mentioned around here before.... All it takes is one narsty crash on hwy 447, and you may still not make your flight.
*steps onto soap box*
There has been a strange-and-unfortunate change at BM in the last couple years. Last year, lots of participants tore down and packed up on Sunday. Seems to me, this wastes a whole day that ought to be enjoyed as a full-fledged BM day.
I suppose it is the need to show up for gainful employment on Sept 3. But I say... The American Way is doing it wrong. We have only a precious few days a year to take advantage of this spectacular opportunity that is Burning Man. Volunteer to work on Christmas. Whatever it takes.
Rant complete.

That's one word I regret googling during breakfast.

Video games are giving kids unrealistic expectations on how many swords they can carry.

, but don't harm the red dragon that frequents the area from time to time. He and I have an agreement.

Good call, Canoe.
Departure Theory has been well-covered.
