Hello! Welcome to reading this thread, idiot. Your funeral.

I am continuing my series of posts about going to The Most Inhospitable Places On Earth! Last time in this series I went to Antarctica, which is cold and has penguins who are angry giant birds who smell like dead fish. Everyone loved it: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3675525. I've been to antarctica several times, but have not for quite a few years entirely because of Republicans/Conservatives, who are awful. You should be a Communist if you think people going to cool places is important. I posted this in YOSPOS last time, and am posting it in CSPAM this time, so don't make me regret it.

This time I'm going to Burning Man, an anarchistic gathering of artists who build a city in some dead lake managed by the imperial government in order to have fun. I am camping with someone I met on eve online. There is apparently a possibility I will die. Stay tuned!

I'll be at 3:20 and esplanade if anyone else is going and wants to say hello to me. I leave on Friday.

oh also if you want to talk about how awful it is for the environment to set a bunch of stuff on fire, you'd probably love the Biosphere Collapse thread: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3979579

don't talk about that here, because no one cares. we are hosed. deal with it.

apparently the "ancient" lake was a suggestion and it is also a contemporary lake as well. I'll let everyone know when i get there on saturday, or possibly a week from then because there aren't any working cellphone towers there (federal government is lazy and incompetent)

I heard that too but also I've heard the opposite of that. This year there are lots of tickets available, so it seems that the rich landlord class has decided they dont like it anymore, which means it's cool again

it's way more politics related than computer related, which antarctica had at least the pretense of being because i said so. maybe you should post about this is qcs/sad and see what they think,

a very cspam thing is that normally relisting burning man tickets is just like concert tickets, except now there are hundreds/thousands of unsold tickets and people are basically giving them away so if you bought a ton to relist them you're just super mega hosed, which is super burning man probably

This is interesting, is it like a clock face/concentric circle deal for addresses? Like the number is your direction from the center and then the second thing is how far out from the center?

Any bike plans? It used to be that you could tell burning man had just ended because there would be these horrible, dust-choked bikes just sort of strewn around in town here

leaving a ton of trash behind in the desert and surrounding communities doesn�t seem very in keeping with the mission statement

Oh I'm not at all in a surrounding community, I think people would just strap them to a bus or whatever and drive them home and leave them out front of the bike shop I used to work at in case we wanted them. We did not want them.
