A friend and I were at that Bar Temple Burn Night - Late - I don't know how late it was... I kinda remember The Bartender that served us was very normal looking and quite straight- (meaning not fucked up- not sexual perf.) don't remember an accent - He was kinda short with shaggy short light hair & eyes... served my friend a beer out of a tap.
I'm sorry to read that people are drugging our citzens! I was drugged once in Las Vegas. The Only thing that saved my ass was that I'm a professional drinker/Partier  Came out of a Rod Stewart concert at the Hard Rock headed toward the bar- where a group of young guys were hanging out. One of them asked me If I wanted a drink- Sure Of course! My drink came back thur the group. I drank it and started to spin - the guys offered me a seat at the bar- where I threw up all over. 2 guys one on each side of me ushered me out of the Hard Rock where I continued to throw up every where (I think thats what really saved me
 ) The guys put me in a cab - now there are 3 of them one in the front and one on each side of me in the back. I'm in and out of awareness... We get to another hotel and the cold air hits me when they are trying to get me out of the Cab. (the cab driver speaks little english) I say I'm Not going with you guys and tell the cab driver I'm going home. The Guys are trying to physically get me out of the cab and I'm screaming at this point that I don't know them and I'm Not going with them. They are telling the cab driver that I'm going to throw up everywhere, and that I do Know them I'm just to fucked Up... I reach into my purse and find a 50 dollar bill and tell the cab driver my address - When he gets me home I take back ALL of my change and don't give him one cent tip and bitch him out. I crawled up the stairs and pounded on my door and my roommate found me passed out cold on the porch- she had to drag me into the house. The next day into the night I threw up- all I can say is that it's very lucky I did puke when it first hit me.

On tuesday night as I was headed to the bathroom a really fucked up girl was stumbling by and two guys were following her - sooooo I trailed all of them for a while when the guys realized I was watching them watch her -they went the other way. Just after that -the drunk girls friends found her.
Pay Attention to whats going on around you!

Who would have thought we'd be happy for puke, Barbie? I'm happy you puked so soon too!
Your story about the lost girl Tuesday reminds me that I had a similar encounter. I think it was Tuesday night but may have been Monday, a drunk girl was walking around weaving back and forth. I rode by her on bike and she asked me where we were. I told her and then circled back, asked her where she was headed. She had lost her friends 5 hours before hand, had arrived in BRC earlier that day and knew only that she was camped between 8 and 8:30, but no idea of which street! I luckily had spent the first day riding around the city, familiarizing myself with landmarks so described a bunch until we found her camp.
In addition to being vigilant about watching what's in your sippy cup, it's also important to make sure that you write your camp address indelibly on something that you carry with you and that you know the landmarks nearby (or write them down ahead of time too). |

I don't know why it happens more to some people than others. There was a while there in the late 90's early 2000's where some dealers were dosing people with new designer drugs, telling people it was something else, just to see what happened. Another reason dealers are my least favorite people at the Burn.
Dosing is super easy to avoid, sippy cups, not drinking anything offered that isn't sealed, avoiding getting sprayed. never taking anything ingestible or smokable by someone you don't know, and eating baked goods almost goes without saying. Usually, a simple skeptical scowl if someone offers you a brownie will elicit an immediate "I know what you're thinking, its JUST a brownie."
The bar thing discussed in the original post, I don't know, the story is so crazy convuluted I can't tell what happened. I've a mind to ignore it as an abberration. I mean, if you have a bar camp, you can't be there 24/7. If someone steps behind your bar, making like they belong there, then its not the camp's fault, its the fault of the perpetrator deceiving the victim. Every bar camp I've been part of has warned us to be diligent for precisely that happening, not only to keep people misrepresenting the bar but to avoid people stealing (not gifting) alchohol.

Wow, just wow. Way to deprive your friend of justice. Good job [not].
Seven years on the playa and that's your impression of the job we do?
We don't discuss, much less "blather" specifics of our calls on the radio. Plus, we can actually spell and properly use their, there, and they're : ).
Sounds like a cop out to me.

Powerchair - your still using some fuzzy logic here. The BRC Rangers are real people from the default world. I know of FBI agents, Deputy Sherrifs, City Police Officers, Probation officers, and other LE's that are part of the BRC ranger corps.
Your right - the radios we use are not secure, but we are not "Blathering" addresses, names or specifics - that is saved for a face to face.
Also - I looked at the schedule of the ESD stations (med tents) you called them. Neither station has any less than 9 persone every night during the week, and more than a dozen available Friday Saturday and Sunday. These "Med volunteers' are full of MD's RN's, EMTs, Paramedics, Counselors, with professional crisis counselors available 24/7 Mental health is represented 24/7 as well.
BM is very well staffed as far as every discipline goes in the volunteer market - both LE and Medical. My beef with your story is this:
Had a friend of mine been slipped a drug. I would immediately summon Law Enforcement. Thats the victims right and certainly makes an investigation easier. For you to say they take 2 days to show is false. When LE is summoned they appear in MINUTES. the more serious the charge, the quicker they come. You say that LE would have messed it up - well they dont have a chance at all if you dont call them at all.
I also know Sasquatch - he has helped us with a few bad trips and I can say with first hand knowledge that he knows whats going on. In fact I know many medics that will seek him out for his assistance when we are done with our part.

What are you basing this on? I thought I saw lower numbers in the med stations, but that is just anecdotal and my observation with no real numbers until they are compiled and released. Which has not happened yet. Perhaps your personalizing it and drawing the wrong conclusion.
What happened sucks, and since hindsight is 20/20 its easy to armchair it and say "i would have..." If your looking for closure, or justice now its not going to happen. The asshat is gone, you have no physical evidence, so even if found it would simply be an accusation.

[quote="Artemis"] They're out there helping others and doing cool stuff for people, like PowerChair is doing. It's phenomenally inspiring.[/quote]
i was right next to that camp and after the fourth or fith person limped or hobbled away from the camo without a chair to use i wondered why
it is too bad that this lady got dosed but powerchair should not take up space in center camp when he refuses to give out what he brings
the person from our camp was told that 'the chairs are for people who are more severely handicaped'
this was said to a guy who was in a cast and could not use his crutches anymore
so the last three days i took a count since i could see the camp from mine
not one of the chairs got used the whole time
powerchair (wayne) brings a bunch of junk there to play with it and acts like he is doing a greayt thing but if you try to get one of the chairs he finds twenty reasons why he should not loan it out to you
after talking to someone from the camp itself i found out that the whole time they only lent out chairs to 3 people and then only for a couple of hours
do not be fooled powerchair is not doing anything great for burners he is just looking like he does |

"soaringgrounded" :
There were quite a few people helped by the camp. Saying what you did gives the wrong impression.
Several people staffing the camp in question put forth a great effort and throwing a dart like this is insulting to them.
If you have concerns about how the camps assets were put to use, kindly open a thread and voice your concerns in a constructive way.
The discussion about one of the camp members being drugged is not the proper venue.
