BM'09 we came up with this awesome idea, but because the powers that be in our camp got an even awesomer idea, it was never implemented. Thereby, at the risk of disclosing an idea that may yet be used, I will reveal it here because it's fucking awesome.

What you need is a place that somewhat resembles a porch. A partially-open garage tent on a slight platform would probably do. And you also need some astro-turf, amount depending on your free space and desire. You might need to get some pink flamingos or gnomes, but you decorating style is entirely up to you, even croquet might be appropriate. The important part is this: at all times have at least one person on the porch, (pants pulled up to armpits optional), who will be yelling "get off my lawn!"

Now, in your non-Man life you may think that this is boring - it's all about the context. And probably camp placement, too, to provide sufficient traffic, but context is awfully important. And, of course, plentiful booze doesn't hurt. Hooch, for instance.

dude, it's an awesome theme but i've seen it done before. i once got an aloe treatment in one of those. but i don't think there can be too many pink flamingos at BM, so thanks for the reminder :))

Все новое - хорошо забытое старое?

That too but this theme is basically concentrated representation of the acute need of "home" at BM. At least from my very subjective point of view. For me, the best of Burning Man, is sitting in the chairs by the mailbox after a long trip , just after sunrise, still wearing the night furs, sipping coffee, talking to strangers , my shotgun gleaming in the morning sun . I mean, look at my userpick :)

Couldn't agree more! Not that I'll be going this year or anything.
