The Race to Reno
Posted by Alison, under UncategorizedVAN: Evanston, Wyoming –> Reno
FLIGHT #1: Washington Dulles airport (IAD) –> Denver airport –> Reno airport
FLIGHT #2: Baltimore Washington International (BWI) airport –>Denver airport –>Missed connection –> Rental car –> Reno
RV: San Francisco –> Reno
The van, two flights, and RV are about to converge… Also, it sucks when United can’t get it’s act together to re-route people to Reno so that we can prepare for a week in the desert. It wouldn’t be Burning Man without a crazy travel story, I suppose.

Nutty New BM Ticket Policy
Posted by Fitz, under TicketsIn case anyone missed it, Burning Man has a new, nuttier ticket policy this year. Instead of just raising ticket prices to match market demand they’re going with an odd “lottery” system that will randomly assign you a price or tell you you’re out of luck and can’t have a ticket. Ugh.

My heart pounded. “Yeah!” I remember thinking, with an exclamation [...] […]Caveat Magister
