Playa conditions as of Saturday (Aug 19) from SpaceCowboys on Facebook:
For those of you heading to Burning Man, some encouraging news on the playa conditions courtesy of PK who is out there now: "So, there has been some rain today, and the temperature is actually quite nice.... Rumors of the playa surface being unbikeable are unfounded. While the city blocks are full of dunes the open playa is hard packed and easy to ride. The ride from center camp to Zoa (the old bliss dance spot) is a breeze."
Looks like some of the N. Calif. fires are sending smoke to the Playa:

"For my Burning Man buddies, my first hand playa account from my rocket run this weekend: The weather was LOVELY - clear days, hot hot nights, a little smokey, rumors of dustapocalyse dispelled. Of course, come prepared for anything, but don't be scared off from what promises to be another magical year! The playa surface IS challenging, so get those biking muscles in shape and/or make good friends with art car owners ;) Looking forward to seeing how everything has grown and evolved when I head back Thursday night - the sense of community and creativity was palpable!"
- still good to be prepared for DUST, bring enough bandanas and dust masks to keep you safe and happy. SKI GOGGLES TO!

Trevor Paul Martin ...In case any of you still need a playa bike, reports are saying that the playa is super dusty this year i.e. hard as hell to bike on.
As your trusty resident Mechanico/ Surgeon del Bicicleta, I suggest fatter tires and bigger wheels (29" to be exact). Yes I know I'm going to hell for buying something from this website but I swear it's only this once! $149

DUSTY )'( 2012 so YOU Need a BEACH CRUISER or MTN bike and CAMP near ESPLANADE
since MAN is on HARD playa and Streets become dusty somewhere back deeper than ESPLANADE you do NOT want to power through dust dunes every trip.
GOT TO BE NEAR esplanade this year as DUST starts after the streets start.
PLAYA is FLAT. STREETS are DUSTY. this will be my 18th year in a row so I've learned a thing or 2. NEED RECON on where dust is BAD.
Biking through DEEP dust is DIFFICULT and will REDUCE your MOBILITY and your PARTY.
This year is going to be one of the DUSTIEST we've seen in like, ever. There is a thick layer of loose dust on top of the playa just waiting to get kicked up. So, this is NOT the year to bring a bike with narrow tires ... you're going to want one with FAT tires to push through the heavy spots. Yes, really.
Going to Burning man? Do you like DUST? HABOOB: An intense dust-storm... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haboob
http://blog.burningman.com/2012/08/playa-tips/its-a-dusty-one-folks
John William Fairclough As we speak I'm working on a more portable device to filter out dust. It's a large tube you can wear on your chest, partially filled with water. A smaller tube carries the dust laden air through to the bottom of the water. You inhale through the top of the larger tube, the bubbling action traps the particulates in the water, supplying you with a much purer air supply. I'm going to call it the Bing.

I would not care so much about the dust if it did not contain radioactive isotopes from Fukushima.
Burning Razor TIP: Playa Dust will ruin every razor you use every day. So bring a dozen old razors. No sense in ruining 12 good ones.

power to the peaceful this year is charging $10 admission.
I've been working that beautiful party for years but this year (after the break year) the only way it could happen was to charge a nominal fee. - the years of "gift economy -aka 'free'as you list it" are over due to the gift economy being seen as free not a reciprocal of love energy exchange. We still have a huge vollunteer staff and truly anyone wanting 'free' admission can just ask to help out. All the garbage - everything -the healing - there are many jobs to make it run - they're all still run on vollunteership. We as an organization love your community list and I (this is Liz) especially do. -
Its unfortunate that this is the news. Power to the Peaceful still wants to get the main message out: That this is an event to empower the peaceful.
Loves. Liz

Nov 6 VOTE to LABEL GMOs! GMO Interview with Jeffrey Smith ::: Prepare for the November 6th Vote on Prop 37! in California
http://youtu.be/7y-X8j6vKi4 http://www.labelgmos.org
Hi there, Please make sure you are prepared to teach people why we need to support California Prop 37, the mandatory labelling of GMOs.
Please watch this video to educate yourself about just how and why GMOs are harmful to the environment, to farmers, to animals, to babies, and to you! In just a few minutes Jeffrey Smith, acclaimed author of 'Seeds of Deception,' will describe to you why we need to remove GMOs from our diet and from the planet. Also, please make sure you support the vote for Prop 37 on November 6th, 2012 in California, the vote to demand mandatory GMO labeling on all foods!
Note: In all other states (20 states so far) where this law was proposed Monsanto was able to reverse it because Monsanto literally rules/owns the key government positions/offices relative to this issue. However, California is different. Prop 37 is a grassroots initiative created by the people (A Grandmom in Marin started it). Hence, in California, Monsanto must stop the people to stop the vote. Monsanto may have control over the government, but they don't have control over us now do they. So please rise up and stop them. The Government can't stop Monsanto but the People Can! If we get this law passed it will deal a serious blow to Monsanto.
By the way, a big reason why I am so vehemently opposed to Monsanto is that I have a massive amount of first hand eyewitness experience of the carnage they wreak in India, where every 30 minutes another farmer commits suicide by drinking roundup. Often it is hard to control my outrage against these diabolical Monsters. Someday I hope they all experience the fate of Icelandic bankers. Indeed, may Monsanto's Execs come face to face with Polly Higgins in the The Hague's ICJ!
