I'm offering my golden shower and a protein creme rinse, at the Holeydiver Spa and Facials Emporium theme camp.  Its worth the way in line.  Only costs two orifices and a crevasse.

Do we hobbyists/providers have a way of secretly identifying ourselves to other hobbyist/providers at events like this one?  I mean besides an envelope full of donation.  Like a handshake or angle braclet?

yeah i wanna trade my "wares" for a ham sandwich and 2 bottles of water. no money allowed at burning man you want something? trade for it!

oh and being stuck on the burning hot playa for days with NO shower... been there done that.

ugh.. i'll pass

I live in Fernley, NV. It's a small town off of I-80, about 30 miles east of Reno. A lot of 'burners' pass through, it's obvious who they are. The vast majority of them are just normal people, but every so often.....  

I really feel sorry for them trying to wash all that talc-like dust off their cars, bikes, and themselves. I don't think you can ever get that completely off!

...that stuff is really stubborn.  My sandals are still leaching the stuff out almost a year later.

Fernley, huh?  Some friends of friends who had a ranch about 5 miles west of there let my campmates and I use their place as a base of operations before and after Burning Man last year.  Lovely area...

Wish I could budget the time to go this year, doesn't look like it's going to happen.

Sounds like so so so so so so so many events in other places... hydroplane races on the Columbia River in Washington in the tri-cities region....

Mardi Gras in New Orleans - for the religiously inclined... yea...

the Breaux Bridge Crawfish festival....

The "running of the bulls?" in Spain...

The "chitlin strut" in SC http://www.chitlinstrut.com/

The Chile cookoff in Lenexa http://www.ci.lenexa.ks.us/parks/chilichallenge.html

and other "spring break" like activities through out the world!

I guess you could say, I been there, done that! lol!
the Indianapolis 500 for all the folks who like burning fuel and other things in the center

and throw out the posers and the merchandising.  Then fill them up with bottom feeding kinks and the truely deviant.  This is the Road Warrior with a strap-on.

That provider we can't name has been known to go there.  I'm not VIP these days. Email me at [email protected]

I hope I'm going to make it for at least a couple of days. Maybe a TER tshirt would ID us to other folks who frequent this paricular part of the underworld.

As a confirmed "out of it" fifty-something geezer, I have vaguely heard of this but even after reading the Wikipedia entry on it, I'm still at a loss for the attraction.

Is this a hippy back to the roots thing, a la Woodstock?

A "get in touch with your hunter/gather roots" thing a la guys in the woods thing?

Is there a lot of fucking going on?

If the latter, I might get interested.

How many people show up anyways?

Burning Man is an incredibly diverse festival incorporating elements of hippie culture, biker fests, Dungeons and Dragons flavas, etc. Almost everything under the sun, and I do mean under the sun. Form all accounts I've heard, it's mindblowing. And I love to have my mind blown! Attendance has grown to about 15,000. It's one of those things I really want to do before it's too late.

Sorry to be so fixated, but this isn't Ann Landers you know.  8o)

...it gets *hot* out there on the playa!  

With regard to attendance, the highest figure I saw on the board in Center Camp, during the late afternoon of the day of the Burn, was over 39,000.  Of, course, plenty of people come for just that day, but 15,000 sounds a little light for the several days I was there.

And, yes, it's mindblowing.
