A large Air mattress pump. And someway to find that elusive leak in the air mattress. Bikeless last year, a bike would be great but hard on fliers. A willing female partner for good healthy erotic exercise too...	Friends who thought it was okay to drive a unimog around because it's unusual enough that they thought it would pass as a "art car". I wish DMV had told them to take it back to camp. (A pedestrian only day or Non motorized vehicle day would be a interesting experiment).
What's the best thing you ever brought to Burning Man?: Shoelaces. A million uses, a small item that helps someone in need, Tie loose lawn chairs to fixed objects so they don't blow away.
Which city services would you like to see in the future?: Acetone for people who get tagged by the punks who show up on the weekend. We had to borrow nail polish remover from three camps to get graffiti off our rented truck in our theme camp. Better policing during the burn. Bike stealing sting operation.
Additional comments: More irony, I loved a simple switch on a large bell set up on the open playa. People were asked to turn off the bells when they left the installation. It was fun to watch the clueless do it. Some art or theme camps that would help to wake people up to the programming and tricks the consumer culture and government play on us. A new awaking to the fact we can bring the culture and hope of the playa out into the rest of the world.

Which city services would you like to see in the future?: Law enforcement. Lots and lots of law enforcement.

A girl. I forgot to bring my own for trade. I felt so left out. Tried to trade my fugly friend Mortimer (aka. The Great Geekster) but got no takers in the hot babe department. So I was left trying break through the gawker ring, and then the FRAT BOY ring at the dances to try and snag something, but had no luck. Oh well. Next year I'm gonna be MUCH more prepared in the sex partner department. Oh.. and some water too.	My fugly Friend Mortimer. His giant pocket protector costume just turned him into a sail, and I was always having to retrieve him from half way across the desert when he got blown away.
Which city services would you like to see in the future?: I also believe strongly that BRC should have a good program to help the homeless. I think the city needs some low cost housing. I'm tired of the pan handling and the smell of urine around public buildings. And stronger enforcement of the zoning laws to keep the loud, hedonistic displays of flesh away from the various churches set up within the city. Good religious folk should not have to suffer the outrageous debauchery of people like myself.
