Most folks I know have been taking the last few years off, for various reasons. I think the fire will be back in 2018, but my hubby and I are going on hiatus after this year. Guess our party cycles are off...

Yay, ZenMasterThis! I was just coming here to make/look for this post.
I'd be happy to host this year. I camp with Shantitown at 6:15 and E. We have a comfy, shaded plounge (pillow lounge).
Open to suggestions on timing, but I tend to like something middday.

"Pillow lounge" and "midday" sound like a good combination to me.
We are definitively nightburners, so anything happening before noon is probably not gonna happen for us this year, but I'd be happy with something in the 1-2pm range!

hmm my whole camp actually is on a giant pizza delivery mission Wednesday afternoon, I should have mentioned that.
What about 2pm Thursday?

Hello! I'm going to try to make it this year -- this will be my first IRL meetup ever, after 11+ years on Metafilter.
(I tried last year but actually got there on Thursday because I had written it down wrong.. won't happen this time!)

yes to making this firm!
How about we say 1pm at Shantitown so that mykescipark can stop by for a bit if so inclined?

I'm clicking maybe which is really really remote in that I don't have a ticket and am on the other side of the country but who knows perhaps some billionaire will waltz by and need a spare bag carrier on his jet landing on 88NV - Black Rock City Airport. But with you all flaming pillows in spirit.

Well, my partner had to be taken off the playa due to a really severe case of heat stroke last night, so we're back in Reno. Not gonna make it after all. Thanks for accommodating the time change though. :-(
