Got a ticket and a car pass. See you guys on the playa  So excited. Hoping I can find a camp to play a DJ set or production at. Not going to hold my breath though... I just don't know anything about the different camps and where my sound would fit at. I have some friends who know lots of people that play at sound camps, but I'm not interested in playing electro or dnb / whatever on the playa. I'll most likely be camping with Burning Sky. mitztronic fucked around with this message at 22:58 on Feb 26, 2014 |

OniKun posted:I know some camps have open decks, but honestly, DJs are really a dime a dozen out there... everyone wants to play a set somewhere. I'm sure you can find something if you put your ear to the ground, though. Welcome! Yeah that is kinda what turned me off (to the soundcamp route). I'm not a dime a dozen DJ (not trying to sound full of myself or anything, I just have a very particular style that is uncommon if not completely unique). I have a lot of friends (and fans) going and I know they would kill to see me do a 3 hour trip hop set or something of the like, so that would be what I want to do. Honestly whats better than 3 hours of chilled out beats at 2pm when it's 100 degrees. Nothing. Pure bliss. (just add weed) Jaz posted:My camp is planning to have a small DJ setup. You are welcome to come and play on it. We will be mostly chilling out in our dome, no big nightclub vibe/stage or anything. Noted! Will be sure to PM you in a few months Chilling out music is what I specialize in. It's what I want to play. I have no interest in doing a 10pm headliner/high energy type set, cause it's just not my style. mitztronic fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Mar 11, 2014 |

stratdax posted:Edit: Oh yeah he doesn't have a vehicle pass, which I need. After looking around at all the FAQs, I still don't get it. Are Vehicle Passes physical things? If I buy a ticket from this guy then a vehicle pass from somebody else later, do I still need to go to will-call to pick up my vehicle pass, or what? I've never been before, but have a ticket + car pass and my receipt says willcall. IDK if physical tickets were an option? Cant remember

minato posted:A quick Google suggests that Timur Sardarov is a rich-as-gently caress Russian entrepreneur, which would explain why he could afford to bring acts as big as that to the desert, and why he can announce it so early (most sound camps don't announce any line-up until a couple of weeks before the event because DJs who are forced to pay their own way to the event tend to become unusually flakey when they need to actually prepare to go) So when did artists stop playing for free? Carl Cox spent $30k of his own money in 2010, for example, to play at BM. Speaking of... I don't know if I'm going to end up playing at BM. I don't even know where to start and I'm not really interested in camping WITH a soundcamp, which makes me just one of a million people that want to play at BM so it's hard to stick out. I guess we're less than 2 months out so I'm starting all my prep. I know some goons said they would have a soundsystem up, so I'd be down to do that still. I need to rent a laptop w/ insurance somewhere and get it all set up. Much to do mitztronic fucked around with this message at 20:59 on Jul 7, 2014 |

I have secured a netbook for burning man w/ a backup. If any goons who are bringing soundsystems want to host me for an hour or two, let me know I'm guessing with my software running I will have maybe 4 or 5 hours of battery life if I'm careful. I need to do some testing, but that should give me a couple 2 hours sets or more 1 hour sets.

We are shooting for 8:00 and D (many goons in this group) I have exhausted my networking abilities from festival friends and don't have a single connection to any soundcamps or groups with a soundsystem, so I think I'll just focus on meeting people this year and maybe get a shot at playing somewhere next year. Still going to bring some minimal gear in case something comes up while there

Smeed posted:I've been seeing weather reports through reddit that predict high 80s and lows in the 50s. Anyone have same or conflicting reports from a trustworthy source? I'm surprised its predicted to be so mild. Keep in mind weather forcasts arent really that accurate after a few days at best. Sometimes they are, sometimes they arent, but you cant count on them. Based on the weather forcasts, you can expect 80's and 50's with 20-50% humidity, but as for clouds, winds, rain, etc you dont know. It did rain a week or so ago, and the more it rains leading up to BM the less dust is in the air, but I'm not sure if it rained close enough that it will make any meaningful impact. Plan for everything - 40+ MPH winds, hail and rain, 90-100 degree weather. I doubt it will go below freezing this year, at least :3 gadgethugs posted:the weather is going to do whatever the gently caress it's going to do mitztronic fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Aug 20, 2014 |

Magnus Gallant posted:I'm looking into buying tickets for next year. I don't have a ton of money to put aside for this, what is the resale policy for tickets that are bought? If for some reason I need to sell a ticket I bought in February is there going to be a problem? The resell policy is that if you try to sell your ticket above face value you can go gently caress yourself and your ticket can be voided if BM finds out. Other than that you shouldn't have a problem selling the ticket to someone. e: derp somehow missed this post. I'm Magnus Gallant posted:Cool.

Darryl Lict posted:gently caress, tickets sold out. It took a couple of minutes for me to get into the site, guess I was too late. I was in <3 seconds after it opened and didn't get tickets. My fiancee got tickets, although we were hoping to get 4 total to help our 2 virgin friends to come. Not having a ticket really psychologically sets people back from planning to go, so I hope the both still plan to come! e: e mitztronic fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Feb 18, 2015 |

salted hash browns posted:This year we have been talking about collecting camp dues through Venmo, has anyone had problems with this approach in the past? It's working fine for us. The only limit on venmo is that each user can only send $3k per week. There's no limit on receiving, so you can have everyone pay one guy and then distribute from there. With a little organization and planning, there really shouldn't be any reason your camp needs to move more than $3k per week around

It's a government shakedown. "In 2011, Burning Man paid $858,000; in 2012, $1.4 million and in 2013, $2.9 million. This year, Burning Man expects the additional requirements alone to cost between $1 million and $1.2 million, which would bring total dues paid to the BLM to nearly $5 million, Graham said. Burning Man's special recreation permit is the largest in the country." Last year was $4M. gently caress them. This should be illegal.

Dotcom Jillionaire posted:BMorg doesn't publish their financials so I can't find exact numbers from them regarding ticket sales or costs to put on the festival but I definitely don't feel bad for them regarding land use fees. Nevada should be able to reap the benefits of an annual festival attended by 70,000 people with deep pockets. BMorg takes in more money in ticket sales than it spend on logistics, facilities, staff, and art grants, I'm sure they can spare a few million for land use permits. mitztronic posted:"2011 - $858,000 explain how this cost increase is reasonable? edit: found this, they've posted more detailed info for 2013 somewhere online as well: http://burningman.org/event/preparation/ticket-money/ edit 2: Forgot to post this aritcle I saw today: http://www.rgj.com/story/news/2015/06/26/reid-want-toilets-burning-man-go-gerlach/29357821/ mitztronic fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Jun 28, 2015 |
