Guys,
I am looking to hire a professional videographer who has his own camera (3CCD is a must) to film at this year's BM festival.
The footage will be used in the program about Burning Man which will air on TV - Kultura channel in Russia.
If interested please contact me ASAP at nsharapova@hotmail.com
Sincerely,

| Ticket for Sale |
[26 Jul 2006|11:42pm] |
Greetings fellow Burner folks! I have a little problem I was hoping you could help me with. I bought a ticket to Burning Man a few months ago and have been incredibly excited about going. This would have been my first time attending and I have been told that it is an amazing experience. At the time, however, I thought I would be pooling funds with a few friends for the long trip there from Massachusetts. Unfortunately, these dreams fell short and I was quickly left with a $250 ticket and no way to get there. I have been hoping against the odds that something would come through for me but as it stands, I do not have the four hundred plus dollars to get me air fare to the festival.
If there is anyone out there still looking to purchase a ticket, please consider adopting the poor, lonely ticket I currently have. It needs a good home and I sadly can not provide one any longer. If you are in any way interested, please let me know. I would love to exchange information and find some way to make the trade work. We could make the exchange by means of PayPal or some other such way and if you live in the Boston Massachusetts area we could even arrange a time to meet and discuss it. Please, if you can help me I would really, really appreciate it. I had been looking forward very much to going to Burning Man and I hope that my ticket can at least get someone else there. Let me know if you are interested and maybe we can figure something out. Thank you so much.
~Emily

Hey just wanted to invite people who are going to Burning Man for the first time to join my new group....you can still join even if you have already attended. I just thought I would try to get a place together where people could talk about their preparations, concerns, questions and whatever together.

Question- This is our first burn, and we're wondering what the playa dust damage can do to the inner workings of a car, van or rental. Should we worry about the works getting so gummed that a rental shop would charge us for a new car? Any hints on keeping the dust out or getting it out after? I'm not worried about the inside, I don't mind having it detailed - but does a detailing cover the working bits too? Thanks!

Now that I have your attention: We're looking for a place that sells well woven (read: no polyester - natural fibers only - silks, hemps, cotton) clothing for Burning man. Not just daytime 100 degree weather clothing, but nice warm stuff for night time as well. Mostly looking for ethnic shops that would have Buddhist style robes, or Ethiopian attire, or Indian saris... and the like. Mostly in the Portland-Vancouver and especially in the Seattle areas. Any ideas? Ask your friends, ask your mothers, ask your pets and your baby momma.
Thanks!

hey there
my name's christopher and I have been learning about Burning Man for quite some time and I think this may be the year I go to check it out.
I live in Toronto, Canada and I'm hoping to connect with LJ/burners from around here to maybe get up and go this summer 2006.
I'm reading up as much as I can and I'm trying to think of some ways I can participate in the community.

Hi everyone.
I'm posting to introduce myself and to ask a favor. I'm a student at NYU and writing a research paper/article on Burning Man for a truly fabulous class that I'm in right now. I want the article to be based on and driven by interviews with as many people as possible about their experiences at Burning Man. The article's going to explore how Burning Man fulfills the need for ritual in American society where Puritan religion has made most ritual taboo and considered 'unclean,' the idea of cathartic trangression, of sacred space, of the intersection and reversal of the sacred and the profane, and lots of other fun stuff (I'd like to say here that I'm not as big a nerd as I sound like, but that'd be a big lie). So, if anyone's interested in being interviewed via email/livejournal/AIM/however, please post a comment saying so (I'm also under a time constraint, so the sooner the better:)
Thanks so much, and much love.
--H
P.S. Yes, this is obnoxiously X-posted.

| Looking for a ride to Burning Man |
[26 Aug 2004|09:25am] |
howdy. i might be looking for a ride from the bay area to the burn. i posted a listing on the burningman.com site but thought i'd cross-post on this site as well.
i'm flying into the bay on friday the 27th and spending the weekend on protrero hill in san francisco.
if anyone has room for a rider to black rock city, i have gas money and a good attitude. i'll be travelling light, just a backpack and tent, plus whatever food i score at trader joes and the usual two gallons per day of water that i could pick up in fernley or empire or wherever....
this will be my 6th burn. i have friends to meet up with and camp with, but, of course, i'm always open to meeting new friends.
drop me an email via merlinswheel at hotmail dot com or call my cell # -- 845-616-6620 -- if you have room for a rider.
also, i don't have a bike, but if that bike shop in gerlach is selling bikes this year, i'd love to stop and pick one up.

| The Man Burns in 26 Days!! |
[08 Aug 2004|11:20am] |
Hey, I was just wondering how people are going to Burning Man? What are your plans for going, or who are you going with? How many people are going with big groups? How important is community to you at Black Rock City? Is anyone going alone? Camping alone?
I still haven't completely figured out who I'm going with and exactly what I'm doing, so hearing what others are doing might help me out. I'd like to be part of a larger camp, though at this point it doesn't seem likely it will happen. Right now my options seem to be camping with my ex boyfried which may be emotionally difficult or camping with my cousin and her friend who have very different lifestyles and interests from me. Or I could go by myself, but Burning Man is about community and so going alone I may feel less part of a community.
Any suggestions?
This will be my third burn, and I am so excited to go home to the playa!!!!
Hope everyone has an amazing and safe trip.
And maybe I'll see you in Black Rock City!
