    Been three times. 1999, 2000 and 2007. I'm going this year again. I can't wait. It will be an experience you have never had and won't be able to explain to people who have never been.

    actually, it has a very thorough cleanup crew and a sister organization whose goal is to offset the festival's carbon footprint

    hey cap'n, i keep reading about rebar and stuff but that seems like a hassle. i have an 18' wide teepee tent with a center pole held up by ten guy lines with 12" "heavy duty" stakes at the ends.

    do you think those stakes will do the job or should i look into another solution?

    That should do the job, but I have heard of people using longer pieces of rebar and bending them into a U so you have 2 12" bars on each guide line.

    The ground can be finicky, some years it is really solid and other years it is dust for a few inches deep. If you bring options, you will be able to adjust on the fly.

    I performed at bm decompression in LA one time, I know its nothing like the real party, but I can't take an entire week of that I'm sure, this decomp was 1 night, in the middle of the city, and I saw some of the most amazing art installations ever, people are so creative, I would imagine the desert party is 1000 times better

    • what kind of performance? genre?– scarabin

    the playa is 1000 times better, but you co get the feeling from the decompressions. The week is really worth it if you can ever swing that time off.

    all the burning man people seem to live in the bay area.

    i ended up on treasure island a month or so ago at one of their parties. weird old hippies and cars that shot fire.

    on the upside, everyone was very entertaining and there were a few really wasted hot sluts.

    • How did TI look? I lived there for 9 years when it was still a military base. Have only driven by since– mayo1/3
      and it looks way run down.– mayo2/3
      couldn't really get a good look. it was at night. i have a friend who stays out there.– sublocked3/3

    also, how much space am i allotted for my camp? enough for my 18' teepee? do you just park your vehicles in your camp, or is there parking elsewhere and a shuttle or something?

  • capn_ron

    scarabin, you have as much space as you want. You probably want to get there early in the week so you are sure to get the space, but basically you find a spot on a street and park and set up camp. No shuttles or need to park elsewhere.

    You will most likely park behind camp so you don't have to look at your car all week, but it will be there.

    • perfect, thanks!– scarabin_net1/3
      I've entered on a tuesday and that is cool because you get to see the city grow throughout– capn_ron2/3
