LONG SHOT but......

   I have MY ticket for 2015 Burning Man BUT we are in need of at least 1 more ticket & vehicle pass so check with your co-workers, friends, family, weird neighbors, etc...  CASH will be paid SWIFTLY  I have a list of fellow burners who need tickets ... I could SERIOUSLY find buyers for 5-8 tickets BUT 1 more is highly needed.

    ....and

   I might even toss in a finders fee! :smt007

Thanks!

Bill

Good luck. You may have already seen this but this 81 yr old made his first trip to burning man and made a pretty sweet video.

 I went with my dad to see a amateur rocket contest which was awesome the weekend after burning man about 100yds away from the GPS coordinates for the burning man. Not a trace of garbage! The rocket show was awesome too one went like more then 60,000ft if I recall correctly

Charlie goes to Burning man

Keeping my fingers crossed.  Like I said, I got MY ticket, buy my boss (the one who got me to pull the trigger & go) did not get HIS ticket.  I feel bad (sort of  :smt002) that I have mine but he doesn't have his.

Keeping fingers crossed that one will pop up.  Still have one last chance in a couple weeks for the OMG Ticket Sale from BM.  VERY limited # of tickets but we will all try & hope to get at least one.

   OFFER STILL STANDS FOR A FINDERS FEE ... (not a C.L. add)   :smt001 :smt001 :smt001 :smt001

I have to admit that I had not previously seen this video.  I just sat here & watched it & this really does a good job of embodying a spiritual aspect to the journey.  The video made me quite emotional in a number of different ways and really makes me want to make sure I document my journey.  It was quite inspiring to see Charlie & all he has been thru take to BM as a celebration of death rather than life.  An outlook that, while present in the way they celebrate the burn (ie the death of 'The Man'), that I had not previously made a good connection with.

Thanks for finding/sharing the video with me.

My first two years were done out of a trailer. Stressful as shit and the truck I used to tow that beast of a unit is no longer with me, for obvious reasons.

My third year I decided to tent camp it and it was the best burn I ever had. Its nice having the mobile hotel room but there's something special about being on the playa in the most primitive form possible.

Here's what I built to camp in/from.  It has just about everything I've needed or wanted so far:  Stove, Oven, big bbq/smoker, TV, DVD, sink, full bar, dual 12v systems, 20 gallon freshwater tank + 12v water pump, 1000w generator, inverter/charger, led lighting & newly added is a deck on the top with collapsible railing.  I'm in process of adding a 6'x6' awning to the side this weekend.

Hell no!  I just changed out the hitch on the trailer last weekend & put a surge system on it coupled to the oversize drum brakes on the 3/4 ton trailer axle.  Felt like it worked well.  I'm still trying to keep it all lite but there's a lot to haul so.....  Been stocking up on booze for 2 months now for the trip.
