Just got an urgent email from a DPW friend!!!

Just got an urgent email from a DPW friend that has been on the playa for about a week now. I'm not trying to scare anyone, just making sure you are prepared for the worst! He said if the last week is any indication on the next two weeks, then this year the hippie body odor is going to be the worst he has ever seen!!!!

Here are some tips to keep yourself safe
- avoid center camp at all costs
- bring a professional two can resperator
- avoid yoga themed events
- clothes pins work great in a pinch
- avoid anyone with a stink aura that is visibly detectable, such as pigpen from the peanuts
- do not spend too much time downwind from any camp that consists mostly of earth tones

Follow these few rules, and spend a few minutes educating friends and we all just might make it through this one.

Oh, man. I've heard about Condition Beta before, but I thought people were just making it up.

During my first year, I caught a glimpse of that sort of thing. . .

. . . Before brazenly showering in the open at sunrise on my last day.

Hahaha... love it.

Condition BBO!

We love DPW. But just because DPW bathes in organic BO, doesn't mean that all BM participants do so. But considering mating, aka fertility in action, is highly influenced by compatible BO, maybe they have a pretty good plan.
