your bicycle and hydration pack are probably your best friends.
This year i'm taking a neti-pot (nasal irrigation). Google it neti pot to see what i'm talking about.
Have some TP with you at all times, just in case the portapoopers run out.

Rebar it down, no seriously, rebar it down.
Extra water doesn't help
Go to the newbie orientation if you are new.
Don't get drunk so much you have recovery time or worse forget things. Be moderate and your over all experience is better
Don't do drugs, let them do you.

Plan well - try out everything at home before you leave, bring replacement parts
TAKE a bike!
Pack less food than you think you'll eat -- you'll eat less on the playa.
leave the fresh stuff at home, it spoils REALLY fast

I bring a bottle of cheap hair conditioner (think- Suave). If you put a little in your hair after showering and don't rinse it out, it will keep your hair from clumping up with playa dust. Also, if you are shaving from a cup, it works way better than shaving cream.
Leave it better than you found it.
Don't put your mouth on it if you don't know where it's been.

Go with the flow, always. Don't try to plan what happens in your world on the Playa. Keep your water bottle, dust mask, goggles, and headlamp handy all the time, and keep your shoes on.

Bring way more water than you think you'll need.
Bring way less food than you think you'll need. seriously. i did that this year and STILL had too much!
Find somewhere the first day that you can chill out and rest in. and i mean CHILL. i.e. swamp cooler domes, air conditioned RVs, mister systems etc.
above all, be open to anything and always remember to be present in the moment, in the now. if you're waiting for something to happen you're already missing it.

Bring ski gogles they work great also you might want to bring a bottle to take a leak in so you don't have to get up in the cold morning, get all dressed to go to the bathroom. Don't bring more than what you need because everyone will want to share with you.

bring a cup with a lid
you can never have too much glow
jerky, nuts, and dried fruit will sustain a burner through many miles of wandering
pick camp mates with low drama tendencies
take pictures
