The quest for cheap used billboards continues
We'll I've contacted 4 companies looking for bulletin sized (14'x48') used billboards... I've heard back from 2 so far, no luck. Here's crossing my fingers before I bite the bullet and spend god knows how much on shipping from MN @ http://www.billboardtarps.com
My other option was a craigslist ad based in Skokie, but they have really screwy hours that would never work for pick-up:

How to make a shade structure for Burning Man that won’t blow away! at JonStarbuck.co.uk
Kind of digging this 4 post version of my triangle design. Maybe a redesign is in my future.

Basic necessities for your playa-tripping survival pack or tote
From: Burning Man Camping Hints and Tips
External Hang Tag with your name and camp location, as well as your home contact information, in case it gets separated from you (like an airport luggage tag)
Seriously, don't skip the hang tag: how many people have you talked to who lost their daypacks at Burning Man? It's a real bummer to lose your stuff! With contact information, you might get it back.
Water bottle(s) -- Never leave home without water!
A cup -- for partaking of offered beverages
Powerbar or some other non-meltable snack
Sunscreen, sunblock, lip balm
Sunglasses, eye drops
Flashlight, glow sticks (You might be gone longer than you think)
Long sleeved cotton shirt or jacket
Band-aids, moleskin, basic first aid, Swiss army pocket knife
Dust mask, handkerchief, dust scarf (see clothing section for dust scarf hint)
Pen, pencil, or marker, and paper (there are things to write on)
$10 for chai or latte at the cafe, or maybe you will want to buy ice on the way back to camp
Clean pair of sox (seriously)
Condoms and other such things? (Your scoutmaster would be impressed)
Small garbage bag (to corral your trash or pick up trash you see blowing around)
Mints or some such
Toothbrush and toothpaste (hygiene is so much fun!)

What 'worked' and what didn't make the cut.
I like this idea!
Success:
I tried using a dry ice cooler filled with frozen 2 liter soda jugs & transferred a jug to the food cooler each day. I used 30 pounds of dry ice, 7 jugs, & still had frozen soda jugs on Friday. I did pre cool my coolers with ice 2 days before use & only opened them when necessary. The bonus of this method is when the jugs thaw you have nice cold drinking water.
