Burning Man
Should the moment when once-almighty but now-weakening Tribe ever break, a babel of voices will scatter us to the winds. Pioneers within some communities need a stable home and have already begun seeding new fora. Many sites and platforms can host, but to stream them back together into a conversation, few but Friendfeed can scale to the task. Welcome the vanguard.
Woah, it's only been 45 days since Burning Man ended and the Playa has gone from 100 degrees to sub-freezing and snowy! Talk about rapid weather shift! - http://blog.burningman.com/...

<3 I almost wish you hadn't posted this, though, because I am very emotionally attached to this part of Burning Man and will be sensitive about comments.
- joey
Agreed. The temple burn is way more near and dear to me. I'm not going to post anything about it tomorrow night.
- veo
What the hell. How much stuff do they burn out there? I hope that's made up of print-outs from 9/11 conspiracy theory websites.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I'm getting emotional already.
- Cristo
Hahahaha. they burn EVERYTHING out there, man. Have you missed that small detail?
- veo
You know what Akiva? You are doing it wrong now.
- Joe
Joe, are you trying to suggest that I was doing it right before?
- Akiva Moskovitz
Yeah, these same smogtards try to keep me from burning wood in my fireplace.
- Cristo
They're burning Snuggies, aren't they? Oh, the humanity!
- Christopher Harley
from iPhone
I doubt it, snuggies would give off a toxic smoke. Wood and paper only!
- veo
What if the burn falls on a 'spare the air' day?
- Cristo
is there such a thing in nevada?
- veo
not a terribly green event, is this? :P
- Joe Silence
If only there was a dipshit festival for all of you to attend, maybe you guys can organize one. :)
- Joe
feck.
- Joe Silence
*Smiles and winks*

*Yawns*
- Joe
*yawns again*
- Joe
something far more sensible and helpful, to be certain.
- Joe Silence
Uh huh.
- Joe
I wonder how many 'spare the air' nights I could have had a nice wood-burning fire with it during the cold winter.
- Cristo
weird religion.
- Gus
*Big Yawn*
- Joe
++J Deakins!
- veo
What could be done with any materials that people use for non-essential functions? Books, films, paintings, general art installations, computers, televisions, iPods, iPhones, elaborate clothing, convenience appliances, and so on and so on?
- joey
*punches Deakins in the mouth*
- Cristo
There are people for whom this event is helpful and significant and cathartic. No one is forcing you to take part.
- joey
Or even comment. Those with negative comments are invited to hide this thread.
- veo
I don't have any problem with them doing it, as long as not a single, solitary one of these hippie freaks tries to block traffic in SF with their bikes or keep me from burning wood.
- Cristo
Objective discussion on the pros and cons to Burning Man is welcome but useless naysaying and threats of violence are not welcome.
- veo
My threats of violence are only for people who write *yawn* and *Big Yawn* as their comments.
- Cristo
Cristo, so basically you're saying you are against people being able to do what they want and have a society? You better quit your job and move into the mountains.
- veo
veo, I don't see where you get that from what I said. Besides, what makes you think I have a job?
- Cristo
Cristo, there will always be self-righteous, hypocritical, obnoxious people out of a group of 50,000.
- joey
*steals thousands of bicycles just prior to the next Critical Mass*
- Joe Silence
How many heretics could one burn on a pyre that size?
- Christopher Harley
You said you don't mind them doing it as long as they don't block you in traffic. Lots of people block you in traffic. If you don't want people in your way, you should get away from all people.
- veo
joey, yeah.. But a much higher percentage of them are self-righteous people at burning man who live in the bay area.
- Cristo
Dead Silence: haha, I'm with you on the critical mass thing.
- veo
actually, stealing bikes would be a really mean thing to do. i would just organise flash crowds to get in the way of the cyclists.
- Joe Silence
veo, i was making reference to critical mass. I'm guessing there's a huge overlap between burning man people and critical mass people.
- Cristo
I can guarantee you in a population of 50,000 at burning man, there are more people who don't get involved in critical mass then there are who do. If it were a venn diagram, it might be a tiny tiny sliver of overlap in the populations. Stating that burners = critical mass riders is kind of ridiculous.
- veo
I don't remember typing that equation.
- Cristo
Christo is your comment right now or should we wait for you to retype?
- Joe
i only personally know 3 people involved with Critical Mass. two of them are apolitical trust fund kids in their late 20s with coke habits and the other is a deeply closeted and violently homophobic 50something who voted for McCain and still has the bumper sticker on his SUV.
- Joe Silence
J, we should wait until you spell my name right.

I like it that way.
- Joe
I think I will spell it like that for now on.

Dude, you already told friendfeed that you have no life and you wish you did. Just stop while you are ahead.

what did the burning man do to deserve this treatment? just curious...

You posted it to joey's thread about her photography. Then you said you were going to delete it so it wouldn't stay around forever.

SO HAY GUYS. DONTCHA THINK THAT TEMPLE IS PRETTY? Apparently it has an active flame vortex in the center.

Veo, it is great :)

Wow, I haven't blocked anyone in a while.
- Cristo
Deacon is talking to Christo on a thread that looks like a wooden church about to burn...
- Gus
Whats the matter Christo?
- Joe
Seems like it might be time for it soon.
- Cristo
alright no answer to my question, moving on. laters.
- Gus
i block people all the time. in person. with real blocks.
- Joe Silence
Bring it on Chubby.
- Joe
What's the matter is that I am finding absolutely no value in anything you say J.Deakins
- Cristo
Then ignore me.

Gus: He simply exists. Thats all. He is burnt because he's there.

sounds a bit like why i blocked him, actually.

Oh no. Please don't go.

No sense in staying Christo - I already made you my bitch tonight. ;)

J, sorry. You mistook your sister for me. Oops. Tough explaining that to the parents, huh?
- Cristo
Joey: the flame vortex is working. I haven't seen any pictures yet but I know it's operational
- veo
will they ever have a burning woman?
- Gus
Yeah, Gus, good point. Women are all uppity about equal rights until it comes to being burned.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Women being burned is nothing new.

That's what y'all get for bein' witches!

*looks at Aciva's comment and smirks, then yawns*
- Joe
Actually one year (1997) when the burn was in a different location, someone built a water woman that sprayed water out of her nipples. http://www.dharmabum.com/burning...
- veo
Haha, woah, apparently someone has spun the water woman off into a whole other festival that takes place annually in Joshua Tree: http://www.waterwomanproject.org/...

I've always suspected the fire conclave (fire performance at the base of the man) went on for almost 2 hours but I never had a watch on the playa. Watching from the comfort of home I can finally see they really DO go for almost 2 hours.

I have to say though, I am enjoying the fact that my feet are not caked in playa.

Someone suggesting that you go to Burning Man is like someone tasting something, proclaiming that it tastes like shit, and then insisting that you try it, too.

It's a place where people can go to be totally free and do whatever they want. It's an adult playground. There is no place like that in western culture. It may seem hippy dippy and pretentious from the outside but thats only because you haven't gone. :P

From the newspaper's Art section blog post by Dan Taylor: "Jeannie Schulz, widow of 'Peanuts' cartoonist Charles Schulz, is taking up a boat-shaped car with a cutout of Snoopy on the bow. The name of the craft? 'H.M.S. Beagle,' of course, with no apologies to Charles Darwin, who sailed on the original craft of that title. This year’s Burning Man theme is evolution, after all. 'I loved Burning Man last year. I took up "Peanuts" books to share, and volunteered in the coffee shop,' Jeannie said. 'This year, I can be a taxi. I think the H.M.S. Beagle will be a popular form of transportation.'"

With 50000 exodus, Gerlach has long been the choke. Can nobody devise a scheme for travelers leaving northwest on NV-447 and otherwise bypassing Gerlach? Why not use a special exodus lane, with flagged escort along NV-34 to 447. Those using it must depart northwest and not turn back. To prevent cheaters from turning south, close 447 southbound at NV-34 and staff with sheriff during peak exodus. It'd alleviate congestion for *everybody*.
