Here are the lights we got if anyone is interested. They began to be noticeably dimmer around the 40 hour mark, but are still going after 78 hours (though they are very dim now). http://cgi.ebay.com/2-STRINGS-LED-Battery-powered-Christmas-lights-WHITE_W0QQitemZ200412639437QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Defau...

Thanks for all the suggestions. My wife ended up picking up some battery powered LED strands. I've got 45 continuous hours so far out of one set of batteries. They should do the trick for us. Total cost for all the strands and batteries we'll need is going to be much cheaper than even a used EU1000....

You want the lighting to be bright enough so that a mutant vehicle driving at night will see and stop before running into/over it This is exactly what we're trying to accomplish. The idea is to put up the gazebo up on Sun/Mon, let anyone else use it for their ceremonies throughout the week, get mar...

My wife and I are going to have our "burning man wedding" this coming year and are planning to build a little 10x10 gazebo/wedding chapel on the open playa. We're looking at options to light it at night for visibility and are trying to keep it cheap. I'm a little bit leery of the $100-200 generators...

The Mutant Audio Outpost is seeking live musicians and sound artists to play at our theme camp in BRC. Our goal is to showcase live acts that are doing something different musically and are challenging their audience to view music and audio in a new way. We are open to both electronic and acoustic a...

I'm agreeing with the notion that I hear too much music that isn't live. Less canned stuff, more human produced stuff would be my put. Ron I agree. That's why we're bringing our own live music this year. There's too much dance based electronic in general of whichever variety. Not enough ambient, ex...

Wear whatever's comfy and fuck anyone who gives you shit about your cargo shorts and polo...who cares as long as you feel good? I agree. And don't listen to the "Don't be cliche/I'm more original than you" nitwits either. Their need to be ultra-original and "self expressive" is just as neurotic as ...

Love this place!

Faced with the ban on beef exports to the United States, Japanese cattle farmers experiment with cattle substitutes.

Just read Fareheight 451 the other night. Started Catch-22 yesterday, and plan to read The Hero With a Thousand Faces next.

I'll definitely be at the bar!

And sure I'll take all the blame. Of course, with antics on the playa being what they are, you'd have to go real far out there to really stick out.

Thanks, BB! Just don't think my mind will release control enough...... But would be fun to try........ Hey, ESD, a little greeen, that'll do it........ 8) Ve have vays of making you go in vether you like it or not...lol Seriously though, it shouldn't be a problem. There's tons of ways to use resista...

So do you think you could put me under on the playa? I've never tried it, but it's always fun to experiment.... 8) Sho nuff! That's my main mode of participation/gifting this year. I'm also facilitating a guided imagery workshop based on The Hero's Journey at HeeBeeGeeBee's on Thurs from 11am-2pm, ...

I hope my next promotion at work is out the door..........play time & playa time

That's in the works too. I'm getting a private hypnotherapy practice started. Still, it'd be nice to flex my full skillz at my current job until I get enough clients to pay the bills.

Woohoo! Just found out that I'm the leading candidate for a promotion at work...

Next round's on me!

Ouch!

I did that last year. Luckily we only drove about 20 miles or so before I remembered. This year that's the first thing I'll be packing this year.

113 days seems long. 4 months seems better.

But yeah, now's the time to start getting things in order.

how sweet

for all good
