We're working on resurrecting Bad Idea Theater. Hoping to return to our old haunt in 3:00 Plaza.

Same old schtick; open bar, + crazy movies after dark.

"That's easy!" ...said Sir Robin

No really, it was.

Oh, it's more than that. About the only stuff that escaped unburnt/undamaged was theme camp gear still in the back of his truck from our last decom event.

Whoops! Glad I asked.

Thanks

PS: You might consider an FAQ entry for the fundraiser topic; that's where I went looking anyway.

We're going to be holding a fundraiser in OC for a burner couple (core Bad Idea Theater folks) who've lost nearly everything in a fire. Would like to promote the fundraiser and also invite contributions for raffle prizes. Recommendation for an appropriate e-playa forum? Or... is there one? Thanks! L...

I'm with you on some of your feelings about the ticket debacle, and it's always a warm fuzzy to get listed as someone's favorite camp (or even favorite no-show), but I'll open my yapper again to clarify that the ticket situation was not the major reason for Bad Idea Theater to give 2012 a miss. Yes,...

Well it's nice to be missed! Or, that we will be missed. Just a word to clarify that while the ticket situation added a layer of complication, we were already about to give 2012 a miss due to other issues. We can't pin it all on the ticket thing, I suspect we could have overcome that. Hopefully we c...

I'm giving away two each boxes that were built to house and provide filtered air to video projectors at Burning Man. I haven't used these boxes for several years, so they are free to a good home. Or a bad home; abuse them all you want. I stripped out some hardware and cables from these for my newer ...

Thanks!

I have a couple of DIY air filter boxes built to house video projectors, and I'd like to offer them free to whoever might want to pick them up locally. Is it ok to post this? Is so, which forum might be appropriate? (I'm thinking: ‹ Preparation ‹ Power & Illumination) Thanks, Larry [Saw a post refer...

Damn, that thing is awesome lookin'!

I wudda been there if wasn't busy every night!

Hi, just thought I'd steer you to the OC Burners group, in case you're unaware.

Enjoy your burn!

Look for the " Bad Idea Theater " in your 2008 theme camp guide. This is one of my favorites. They are typically located at 3 or 6:00 camp.... Aw, thanks! We've been at 3:00 in the past and we hope again for this year. We'll post on the web site when we get the dope on placement. I heard there are ...

Well, we have shown "Wizard People, Dear Reader" for many years at Bad Idea Theater, but we have not been on the esplanade and our outdoor projection is pretty small (basically it's incidental, rear projection for the purposes of viewing inside the canopy) . I'm thinking he was maybe looking at some...

Shucks you folk is nice!

BTW, We too are excited about discovering the marketing potential of boobs! We are discussing changing to "Boob Idea Theater" because we don't want miss getting in on the ground floor of this vibrant new marketing tool.

After taking a year off, the EVIL VENDING MACHINE will be back for '07. It will be sporadically vending, and complaining about it, on the playa in the general vicinity of Bad Idea Theater. I don't think I can do it justice by way of description so I won't try. A buncha folks were wondering what happ...

This year's movie log is now posted at http://www.badideatheater.com/ , for those who wants ta know. Dave; Good deal then. Please introduce yourself again when we cross paths. If you get out to the regionals, we will probably be setting up at http://www.fuegodelosmuertos.org/ and http://www.xaraproj...

Oops I did it again. Dave came in, gave us some nice gifts. I was distracted and turned back to finish whatever it was I was doing when Mike had called me over, and woosh, dave was gone... I thought he would step back again, nope. What can I say? It's 'silent larry' for a reason; poor interpersonal ...

I had a blast watching Bad Idea Theater's version of Harry Potter while laying on a trampoline the night of the burn. At the end BIT mentioned a website that I can't find. I think it was creek creek comics, but apparently it is not. Could someone from BIT PLEASE let me know where I can get some mor...

dav725, This comes from bad idea Mike: Please accept my apologies if your experience in Bad Idea Theater was anything less than pleasurable. Since I am neither young nor pretty nor female, I too have walked into places on the playa and been given that "turd in the punchbowl look". One of our first ...

Ouch! :cry: Would you belive the "icy shoulder" is our most popular cool refreshing drink? Uh, let's see.. dav725 I dunno who you tried to talk to but as for me, I've not got best social skills that's for sure. It's entirely possible that my lack of small-talk chops and bad habits related to eye con...

Does anyone know if the evil vending machine will return? I've been trying to get an answer for you but no luck so far. But I'm thinking probably not. Evil Vending Machine was a project of Evil Jeff, and he's not gonna make it this year. :cry: Could be one of his buddies will bring it, but no word ...

Also, another fave was Bad Idea Theater. They just happened to be near our camp so they were often our last stop b4 heading home. Saw Frankenhooker and other great stuff. Does anyone know who they are, as I want to write and thank them. http://www.badideatheater.com/ ...and you're welcome. (Sorry, ...
