We are looking for some people to ride-share with from Fort Collins, CO if anyone here is interested. We are towing out a decent sized camper and have space in the truck additional for gear/people.

There are lots of burners that travel from CO, you should have no problems finding someone that wants to ride with 2 virgins.

My camp's first meeting is tonight. I doubt we'll commit to making 300 gallons of beer again, but we'll probably make at least 50.

In my experience, it usually goes like this:

"Okay, we are never doing X again. Let's do 1/4 of x."

"Well... how about 1/2 of x?"

"Okay, 4 times more x it is."

Wife and I are attending this year, first time. We have been hoping to go for a couple of years so I took the time to watch the email list and make sure to get tickets. Ended up with 2 tickets and a vehicle pass without issue. BM looks like its going to be a bit outside of our cultural comfort zone but we like to push our personal boundaries so this should be a good experience.

Pretty much. We are bringing a bar to the UK regional, instead now it is actually *two* bars with an additional room and the whole thing is happening in 1.5 months and nothing is done. Bring on the fun!

Huh?
Wow, this is surprising. The latest Burning Man newsletter has a photo at the top that's incredibly similar to one I took, and posted earlier in this thread. The one in the newsletter was taken by some guy Mark Petersen, and it's a lot higher quality than mine, but it's pretty interesting to see how similar the photos are. We must have been standing no more than a hundred feet away from each other, snapped the photo almost at the exact same time, and with almost the same framing.

I am working on all of my packing for my regional burn (Kentucky's Reclaimation) I am going in with another burner to have a coffee shop theme camp. I think that we may bring some hookahs as well. I so so excited for this years burn! I was not able to go last year as it fell on the same weekend as my college graduation.
I need some burner help though. We need a name for the camp. We will have coffee and teas available as well as a place to sit and smoke.

Dear ********,

Congratulations, you’ve been awarded a Low Income Ticket to Burning Man 2014: Caravansary!

Looks like my ticket is secured!

I was curious about something and I am not sure if I read it here. I am thinking of flying out and getting supplies there and packing out may be an issue. There is a company that I vaguely remember that rents whole camping packages for the playa including a tent, shade structure, food supplies etc. This seems like the most viable option but I cannot for the life of me find the link. Does anyone have any idea of what I am talking about?

Preheat is the one coming up in a week and a half or so, Afterburn is in November. You def consider coming to either one, they are smaller but pretty drat awesome. My theme camp this year which is Center Kamp Tavern combined with Beer Camp to make a drunken village, should be pretty great.

Edit: Just realized how busy I am going to be this year with burns, I don't think I am going to get a chance to decompress!

Congratulations on making your funding goal - looks like a cool project and I'm looking forward to seeing it on the playa.

One thing I'm still not sure of is what seems to be the "best" thing to wear. I'll have a couple costumes, but I'm more concerned about the other stuff to wear. More specifically, I'm worried about getting sunburns all over. Is it a good idea to just go for something with long sleeves and very breathable or just load on sunscreen with a light tee?
e: Another one of my concerns is hygiene. My friend and I going to be roadtripping there, so I don't really know how much grey water we can handle.

You have to adjust for your regular outdoors exposure habits. If you rarely stay out in the sunlight for hours on end, then it's best to be safe and get sleeves and very breathable, in light colors.

As for hygiene, easy ways to prevent grey water while still keeping clean are no-rinse soaps and disposable moist towels (which you still need to haul out).

One trick I often used was to make sure your beer/alcohol cooler has a spigot at the bottom. About once a day there should be enough melted ice in there that you can plop it on top of your car, lay out an evap pool, and pop the spigot for a quick (very brisk) shower.

Last year i started soaking my bandana with that water and found that having a cold, wet bandana around ny neck stopped me from sweating or feeling hot immediately. Try it out!

Glad there's a little more time on the kickstarter! How far outside the city are you building it? Or are you building it in SF? I'm sure you've got plenty of motivated folks at hand, but if you ever need an extra grunt some day, I'm in SF and have very good gloves.

This looks absolutely ridiculously stunning. The shell-dome is brilliant. The steps along the sides to maximize carrying potential (and ease of boarding) are great. Though you'll probably need to be vigilant about people hopping on and off.

Your choice of base vehicle is so good, too. Vehicles meant to go slow and move large weights probably work much more naturally as art cars than cars meant to go highway speeds. I'm gonna try to bring some little tomatoes out there because I think it would be extremely appropriate to feed them to folks on your car. Probably won't last past Tuesday though so I better find you early!

Also I'd be so excited to play on it for like an hour or so sometime, like you mentioned before! Just yesterday I finished putting together my very tiny and mobile "I don't mind if this all dies in the desert" set of DJ equipment so as long as you have a spare input in your mixer and a power outlet I'm good to go.

edit: just fyi having a playa cherry tomato has become my new fantasy, I can't stop thinking about it
