After the van with all our camp infrastructure was ganked in Oakland last year some neighbors donated a hammock pavilion.

I did a lot of napping last year.

I visited your camp! That hammock dome was lovely…. KFC, yes?

Nope. But KFC was the other camp that had their stuff lifted in the east bay.

I have secured a netbook for burning man w/ a backup. If any goons who are bringing soundsystems want to host me for an hour or two, let me know :)

I'm guessing with my software running I will have maybe 4 or 5 hours of battery life if I'm careful. I need to do some testing, but that should give me a couple 2 hours sets or more 1 hour sets.

If people have a sound system setup I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you borrowed a bit of their electricity to make sure you have more power than that, no?

I'm definitely making plans for next year. What's the cheapest flight from Europe? I'm in Portugal but from Lisbon to Reno it's something like 800€ per person, there must be something cheaper.

Since I'm usually still awake at 9am this seems like a good time to hop around and start getting drunk again! Also this is two blocks from my camp.

We are flying into Reno Sunday night and renting a car- I plan to mail some things ahead, but will I pretty much be able to get everything necessary/forgotten in Reno on Monday, or will things be stripped bare? I'm mainly concerned with heavy things like water, 12V marine battery, etc. but I don't want to call 19 stores and end up in 50 miles out looking for something either.

I might be a little concerned about the marine battery, but even Wal-Marts out in Colorado had pallets and pallets of basic supplies ready for Burners so I'm sure any store in Reno is prepared.

Yep, water and food will be aplenty everywhere. For your marine battery: is it possible to purchase ahead and tell them to hold it at a store for pick-up?
Is your car rental already all settled? If not, do that now or ASAP.

So the man is going to be over 100' tall this year I've heard. Rad.

I'm excited as poo poo, probably more so than my virgin year as now I know what to expect/understand the event better. Does anyone know some cheap storage places for about 4 people's worth of gear?

If anyone else has an extra ticket I would love to take it off your hands. I have been very unlucky with both STEP and the OMG sale. My friends have been able to get their tickets and I am the only one left.

Im a portland burner, there are a ton of burners here. There is a weekly meetup at a bar in SE called Roadside Attraction every tuesday. Theres also a portland burners facebook group. If youre a flow artist or acrobat or circus person or even just like dodgeball or chilling in the park, come to Monday Funday at cln summers park(on nice weather days). Hope this helps. If you ever see a buff dude rocking 2-4 hula hoops in public, come say hi, thats me.

I am already a member of the Portland facebook group, my name on there is Nemo Curat. I do fire breathing primarily but also staff and fans and am heavily involved in Florida's conclave and our local fire jams. Can't wait to meet everyone when I move, the few I have spoken to all seem cool as hell. Feel free to add me on FB.

No, in fact there's a usually a mad dash to submit events once they open because they only have so much room in the book. There will be many online that don't make it into the book. The ones that make it into the book will likely be more well-attended due to being in the book.

I have a vehicle pass to spare. If you have a big guitar amplifier (or similar that can connect to a phone/mp3-plater) that we can use for the duration of the burn I love you. Traveling from Europe limits what we can bring with us, sadly.

Just took another look myself. Have a page full of things I'd like to take part in, but I'm sure the plan will go out the window once I'm actually there.

We are shooting for 8:00 and D (many goons in this group)

I have exhausted my networking abilities from festival friends and don't have a single connection to any soundcamps or groups with a soundsystem, so I think I'll just focus on meeting people this year and maybe get a shot at playing somewhere next year. Still going to bring some minimal gear in case something comes up while there :)

This year I'm camping with a group of friends and we decided to research what it would take to get a PA system with a generator out to the playa. It turns out to be a much bigger and more expensive deal than we expected, and now I have a lot of respect for the soundcamps that actually manage it.
