Selling is a no no and not allowed. Well if I recall they do sell ice, but no other selling just barter. Oh and no logo's either.Comment

This will be my 11th year.
No concessions of any kind. EXCEPT: coffee in center camp and ice sales.
Actually, no barter, either. Gifting only.
And there is no "fringe" of the event. You are either inside the gate and in the city, or outside the gate.

Sorry hal could not think of correct term and felt barter or trade would fit.Comment

There is a small town outside the gate with a general store. But going in and out is a major deal, takes a couple hours and costs $20 or something.
You wouldn't want to go outside the gate unless you absolutely had to. It would be like putting on clothes, and going to the grocery store for supplies while a huge orgy was going on in your apartment. PAINFUL.
And ASM, the concept (and results) of "gifting" are more harder to explain than you;d think. So its an common mistake even among burners. I didn't really understand the difference between it and barter until my 4th burn. (and seeing the movie www.giftingit.com)
Obviously, its something dear to my heart.

OK - In NO WAY can I match the "level" of experience or fashion that Hal has had at Burning Man, but I will be making my sixth consecutive trip to the playa this year. People experience BMAN in their own way, which is the whole point. I love the experience of it and this year I'm participating in a bigger way than ever before.
This year's theme is "American Dream". And in keeping with that theme, as well as playing into the whole non-commercial aspect of BMAN, me and my friends are building a 4-story shopping mall in the desert where nothing is for sale. It's called Mal-Mart.
Our real-estate restrictions have forced us to re-design the structure, but it will look something like this:

can someone explain why tickets are hundreds of dollars if BM is non-commercial?Comment

Renting the land, security, medical, insurance, clean up, and everything else associated with it from planning to setup. Then it is really important that everything is returned to normal when everyone leaves. I did hear the corporation was finally operating at a positive cash flow finally.
It is really a not for profit event and company. Just a whole shit load goes into it.Comment

are there issues with theft?
how do people keep their batteries charged to take pictures?
and most people dont bath, right? (i know there is a spring nearby)
what are the temp hi's and lows generally?Comment

portable toilets
Radical self-reliance
Because of the event's harsh environment and remote location, participants are expected to be responsible for their own subsistence. Since the LLC forbids any commerce, with the exception of the items stated in Decommodification, participants must be prepared and bring their own supplies such as water, food, proper clothing and shelter, just to name a few.[33] Nothing is provided by the event with the exception of portable toilets.[34]

I havent been to "the burning man" but a dozen dead shows put together might give me a taste of what goes on there.

I've been 7 times in the past 11 years. It was the first big splurge I did with my ill-gotten porn moola, in fact, back in 1997. ;D
If you ever get to go, it's SO worth it... A baby means no Black Rock for me this year (or last, as I was WAY preggers), but I'll be back home to BRC and my village, Gigsville, next year!
I've done both the flying into Reno and buying stuff there method twice and I've done it driving from Texas with all my gear 5 times. A lot of folks I know go all-in on renting one big truck to tote everyone's gear, and then only 1-2 people have to make the drive. Others ship their gear to Reno freight mail and then pick it up when they get there.
The thing that Rand mentioned, Ukronia (aka the Belgian Waffle), was an awesome installation. It was HUGE, and no matter where you were in the city, it looked it it was "just right over there".
Suffice it to say, it was a bit of a hike to get there, though. hehehe
