Examples of Playaware for Virgins

Posted by Ryan, under Fashion, Photos

There’s often a bit of confusion as to what you should wear on the playa. You don’t have to wear anything but a hat and sunscreen during the day, but you may want to have some fun accessories. Night time is when the event really comes to life, some folks wear extravagant headresses and mutant outfits I even saw a complete Marie Antoinette one year. Most folks wear something to stand out just a bit. That might be an old prom dress with EL wire woven in, it might be some sort of mad scientist get-up or a modern day raver look. Here’s some examples, some of which are our camp, some are from around the playa:

Massive Grocery List

Posted by Eric, under Food

I’ve put up a grocery list online with my best estimates for what we’ll need for each meal. There are sections for breakfast, snacks, and beverages that need some filling in since I don’t know what everybody likes. Please let me know if you want any changes to the meals. I’ve already gotten two nays on PB&J Wednesday, so we’ve got some negotiating to do. I deviated from Alison’s meal plan a little bit because I was trying to take spoilage into account and biscuits go with sausage gravy, not toast. ;)

Hi all, so here are some prep photos and some meeting photos.

You will see how Mindy constructed the crab bike flags for nighttime display.  Pretty freaking awesome.  She’s got pictures of it lit up in the dark and it is fantastic.  Also, we managed to construct the bar, though not paint it, due to the rain.

Thrift Stores, Blog Updated

Posted by Alison, under Bikes, Fashion, Shelter

Ok, so I changed the sidebar a bit on this blog.  You can now see recent comments and I updated the Burning Blog RSS feed to be the current one.

Today, I scored a deal at Yesterday’s Rose, where there was a 1/2 off linens sale.  Got two sheets for $1, which Herb and I will be using to cover the mesh in our tent.  Our rainfly keeps rain out but allows ventilation through the screen mesh on the roof and two sides of the tent, which I’m sure would be swell in the rain, but seems a rather horrid idea for the playa.  Details and photos of the fix to come.   Oh yeah, this thrift store had bikes too.  3 or 4 kids bikes and one adult bike.

If any of you want to try to find deals in Northern Virginia, here is a map of thrift stores:
