Fertility 2.0 - The street names of 2012

[Galaxo Magic]

You were all wrong! None of you got a single one right! I would also say that almost every one of your ePlayan ideas was more inspired than what we ended up with. Has the B'Morg lost it's balls? Certainly looks that way.....at least the C street could have been Cannibus....crikey, am I going to Disneyland????

[junglesmacks]

Do you know something that we don't? Have the names been posted?

Holy crap! I'm not liking all the reserved areas!!
Looks like my camp might be pushed out to the very edge of the city, if I want to stay on the same spoke I've been on for the last 4 years.

[thisisthatwhichis]

Huh?... Flowers????


I knew there was a reason the Theme is lost on me every year......

[TinkerMom]

Seriously? Seed plant names?

How lame!!

But, whatever. I still end up singing the alphabet song on my way
back to camp.

RIGHT?! For a year with peak theme camp fragmentation, that's a shit ton of reserved areas.

Possibly due to so many theme camps being "registered" for this year in attempt at directed distribution tickets?

[littleflower]

i think the names are perfect!!!!!!!

It doesn't look like substantially more area than 2011:

They just tapered them like petals. How clever of them!

I actually like the idea of pushing more registered theme camp out into the boondocks and spreading the activities throught the city.

[theCryptofishist]

Columbine? That's pretty daring...
Chrisanthamum (sp). California Poppy. Carnation?
Oh well...that's the llc for you.

[tattoogoddess]

Fishy I litterly said "columbine?" out loud when a friend posted the lay out a few minute ago on facebook. Very very odd name.

[theCryptofishist]

I suppose if we go to extra streets Morning Glory will win out over Marigold. Not sure what's possible for N, other than Nasturcium.

And I'd rather I was going to be on Azelea than Alyssum. Ah well, we'll be calling it a$$hole anyway...

[littleflower]

Columbine:


Considering that the anti-establishment has become the establishment - at least, in the art world - i would suggest that these names are quite daring ......

[tattoogoddess]

Sorry just rubs me a little weird. One of my friends survived columbine. He was friends with the two and they spared him. Sorry deep I know but that word just yeah.

They have managed to make the reserved areas look like petals.
5 yrs olds taking over BMorg's creative department?

[ultratang7]

It's the Colorado state flower. They grow wild around here and they are absolutely beautiful.

I think you may have meant to link to the 2011 city plan: http://www.burningman.com/preparation/maps/11_maps/

Comparing the two side by side, it looks like they just shifted the brunt of the reserved areas to the front while increasing the area behind ring road.

And somebody choked on a sandwich once...Guess that means they should shut down all the Subway sandwich shops! Those insensitive bastards!!
And no, it's not "deep" its just attention whoring.

And at the center we're supposed to show up as freakin bees.

Dubious fertility rites, bees, burning effigy. At this point we should all just dress up as Nicholas Cage in a bear suit and reenact the Wicker Man.

It just occurred to me that the flower street names = continuation of bee theme.


Duh.

[wh..sh]

This will be an appropriate time to throw that pollination party.

They should that place is gross.
And sorry you feel it is "attention whoring" This is just how I feel about the name and why. Geesh.

And yeah guess it does play with the bee theme. So would that make Larry the queen bee and all of us workers? Buzzzzz

This is disappointing. I always thought Subway had a stand by heimlich maneuver-ist.

I'm just going to assume that's slang for orgy. Now I know where to send all the single guys looking for the orgy tents.

"Pollination party in the base of the man. But to get in your dick has to be painted yellow and black."

I'd have rather enjoyed "ammonia, biomass, compost, dirt..." Oh, well. I imagine I"ll mostly just refer to them all by the letters anyway, rather than memorize an alphabetical series of apparently random flower names. Or maybe I'll learn the "asshole, balls, cock..." series that y'all seem to use.

Hmmm... there's a mischievous imp telling me what fun it would be to replace the all flower names on the street signs with corresponding flower pictures. People who can identify flowers on sight would suddenly become very popular

Random aside: I loathe begonias and geraniums (not for any deep reasons -- I just think they're gross). Why not buttercup and goldenrod?

[Simon of the Playa]

My Grandfather's Name was "Flowers" (Florencio)

i like the street names.

a garden in the desert wasteland is nothing new...

[theCryptofishist]

Me, too.

I can never remember the street names. A week isn't long enough to get it nailed down in my head.
