a little birdie told me there's some kind of group, a googley group, to which i should link and join. ah, here it is, no?
is it okay to be worried that i might be getting in over my head? i mean, i'm sure it is, but i just wanted to ask.
2) word, wonderdave i had a good time, too. you know what they say: give a man a large group of people, and he'll hang out for an evening, but give that man a megaphone and he'll probably go to burning man.
3) i'll read all that stuff, but i still like the idea of just going naked.
I just got back from the future! Holy crap! .. What day is it now? 4:00 AM, July 15th, 2008. YES!!!
I'm so EXCITED to share with you all what RidazzCamp was like for us in the not too far future...It was awesome! You might not understand what I am talking about right now. You guys, we were all there! YOU GAISE ARE FUCKING RAD!
(Spoiler Alert - Do Not Read if you don't want to remember the future!)
OMG! You guys are going to be fucking amazed. I think the most memorable experience was on the first day when we all got to our camp and started working together on erecting the Shade structures. We are a force to be reckoned with! We were... I mean ARE a well oiled machine! Not only will we do well in figuring an efficient method to carpool up there, but everyone was able to manage their shit efficiently. Ben's structure provides enough shade and is fun to chill out/party in! When you guys build the structure, remember not to let me get stoned... Anyway, I have to hand it to you guys- People were impressed how we were focused on the future of bicycle community. We shared with other burners how bicycles are part of our daily lives in the future and not just for the playa . Props to those who volunteered their time to help others with the D.I.Y. method of working on your bicycles. Where did all those bike tools come from? I can't even remember how we planned that.. Glad you were all able to bring suitable bikes with fat tires that you weren't majorly concerned about getting "playa dust" in.
Don't worry, I'm not going spoil how rad all of our events were - Even the spontaneous ones. I just want to share a few more things.
I was surprised how many megaphones we all had. I'm glad we had enough earplugs to enhance the experience of Bullhorn Brunch! And Jesus H. Christ on a Bicycle, where fuck did this guy Matt (lackflag) come from? He greeted all the guests of our camp with a megaphone, I can't believe how annoying that guy is - SO RAD!
Bunny Suits? OMG where did you guys find time to get creative with those bunny outfits for the Billion Bunny March? Some of you just had bunny ears and boxers, but it was funny! You also had so many awesome playa bikes and costumes. Santa Con was the bomb... Who peed on me that night? Glad we were able to all pull off Santa Con on the playa! Midnight Ridazz Ride was EPIC! Laharr was fucking hilarious...
I got chills just reliving it all...
Thank to you all for bringing enough food and water for yourselves and also for being generous with each other with the supplies you had. I don't think there was anyone who showed up without enough supplies for themselves. All the needs of our group were met! And of course, Safety Third. Despite all the expense and energy of this trip, this has been totally worth it and we will be a closer group. The experience has changed us for the better in many ways. If only we had more Ridazz to share the experience with us... Wait, that's why I came back and am writing this!... So that those who did miss out can make sure they come and not miss out like they did. The Future is now REWRITTEN! w00t!
I'm not going to give away all of the great things we are going to experience, but I just want to share how great it is to be together as a group. Fnord! You guys are creative and resourceful. The future would not have been as great as it was without the group effort we all mustered together. That LAST MINUTE COOPERATIVE EFFORT TO SCRAMBLE AND ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS AND MEET AND MAKE SURE ALL OF OUR BASES WERE COVERED is what royally saved our asses! I am glad that you will also be filling out the F.A.Q. page for each other in the future. The link will be here -
http://groups.google.com/group/ridazzcamp/web/frequently-asked-questions
The way we can spend time with each other and get along is really important to me. I never had such a community of friends that I trust like this before. I am glad that I have this chance to spend great times with you all. I truly believe that this is a great group of friends. You all made this the best experience I ever will have. I cant wait to go back to the future with you all again! - MIDNIGHT RIDAZZ!
Roadblock needs to go so he can finally use his natural gas for a good purpose. We need him to power our camp generators, and it's all he's good for. Burning Fart Man: a match made in heaven.
So I have court tomorrow mourning and after that I can finally get on my shit and really start to handle all my burning man duties. Thank goodness cause its about time.

eff yeah!!! also, I'm not sure who I'm riding with exactly, but if I can find out who i'm hitching with and what days they will be there i can go ahead and buy a plane ticket!
widowmaker,
I'd recommend staying for the last five days, not the first five.
Also, for specific questions about carpooling and planning, you should post on the Ridazz Camp Google Group, not on this forum.
i did just thought it couldnt hurt to post it here as well... i think borfos worked out a ride for me on the 23rd to go down there if i cant get back earlier its really not that big of deal..ill just be strapped for cash for a week or so
Have you checked the carpool list?
Most of the people who haven't committed to the entire week are staying for the latter half.
Officially, the festival starts on Monday, August 25.
Who knows, you might even see some of us on it representing Midnight Ridazz!
TV Free Burning Man is the first pirate TV station capable of reaching 52 million homes world wide by taking over the airwaves of Current TV. Throughout the week long Burning Man event held in the Black Rock Desert, NV, participants are empowered to take the media messages coming out of Burning Man into their own hands - literally.
Broadcasting in real time, TV Free Burning Man aims to capture the essence of this annual festival dedicated to radical self expression and self reliance through the eyes of those who attend.
Coverage includes multiple pods and video "Postcards from the Playa" that are beamed via satellite from the event each day as well as live, commercial free coverage of the event's signature happening, the burning of the Man.
Yeah looks like you two got some together time. Just don't come back impregnated Borfo. Wear your protection! That Fluffa is a walking talking STD dispenser too! The last thing you want to do is start looking like him!
1200 Bikes Donated To Burning Man’s Yellow Bike Program
posted by Scott Beale on Tuesday, August 14th, 2007
1,200 Bicycles
1,200 bicycles have been anonymously donated to Burning Man 2007 to be used for the Black Rock City yellow bike program, a public transportation system where anyone can use the bikes to travel around the playa. The Black Label Bike Club is currently assembling and painting the bikes yellow and when the project is completed, Black Rock City will have one of the highest number of bikes per capita in the world.
UPDATE: Danger Ranger wrote us with an update saying that “In typical Burning Man fashion, the bikes are being painted green and stenciled with the message “YELLOW BIKE” in red paint”.
Franz, remember how much fun bullhorns were in Portland?
Someone from Portland took them all away from the Ridazz on the first night!
Here's the spoke card for the Ridazz Camp event:
All these people and this is all we got for pics? 50 photos and Marino's albums? Which btw, is where practically all the pics in the MR came from. So what gives?
Am I impatient or something?
I know Matt's been busy. Come on man, give us a tease.
