Since it looks like a World-Wide Doper Con is going to be happening Labor Day weekend, I am pretty bummed as I will be at Burning Man that weekend.
Any other dopers going to be baking in Black Rock City this year. If so, wanna get together at some point. Unfortunately I can’t guarantee that you will see other dopers naked (at least not Straight Dopers), it is certainly a possibly!
We can all go get the full-body, fully-nude sunblock massage. Or maybe we can come up with some grand SDMB art installation.
Actually I have gone in the past with my brother but will not be going this year. Last I had heard the fees were up in the hundreds of dollars because the gov’t had decided they wanted to charge for the land use. Of course the last time I talked to my bro about this was about 4 months ago so I am pretty out of touch with the whole thing.
My bro has a group called “Spacelounge” that goes every year and they are pretty deep into the whole thing. They have huge displays and for the past two years have run a bar. You bring anything up to the bar that you have and if they like it they will give you a drink. Pretty crazy group. Last year my bro came back with neon orange hair. Then he bleach it to yellow.

Sorry, Vegas is as much desert as I can take. However my friend Jay, Jaybear has gome every year for many, many. He isn’t a doper, but he should be, he reads Cecil. Look him up and tell him Debbi Schaefer said hi…it’ll blow whatever mind he has left!!!
I’ve always wanted to go to Burning Man…shit, now I’m in a quandary.
Well, if you decide to go and need company and can offer you crash space in my camp.
Camp Bhutan. All are welcome (preferably with advance notice). No particular theme but there are many Rangers in our camp so if you do something incredibly stupid (water! I needed to bring my own WATER?!) somebody will be close to to call a blue-dot for you.
I’m serious too. If anybody is considering Burning Man but wants a bit of group, drop me a line. We’re a pretty laid back group and we’ll be on the quiet(er) side of Black Rock City.
