"That's not period!" <-- That's funny. Someone actually gets it! Yes, are you happy now that you've elicited a reaction? My side point was that I want him to experience Burning Man since it's not too far fetched from an SCA event, minus the war thing of course, in comradery and a sense of liberty. I...

A poem penned by my friend Moody Abyss aka Michael Flanders says it all for me. He's a SCAdian yet to burn. Thank you once again, Master Abyss. Love you. Whispers The moonlight falls cold and pale on a road that winds away. As I walk along, I feel spirits from another day. They seem to follow me a w...

Ok, Diatribe PART II... ((Imagigrl lets a poot escape~~~~~)) Pardon me, but it seems that the nation in which most Burners call home is experiencing a patriotic dilemma at near crisis level. It is not just to say that more and more states in addition to Vermont, Texas, Alaska and Utah will opt for s...

~~OK, so here's my diatribe PART I~~ BURNING MAN 2008: FAGS OR FIRE It took me a looong time to get past that one until I told myself it was a type-o and the entry was supposed to be "FLAGS..." And as I've said before, I'm not opposed to flag burning. It is an expression of freedom- as with any free...

Now that poem of "Freedom!" would fit in well with the "World Dream" theme. The BMORG can easily transition to a world flavour instead of the limiting one they've slapped down on the burner.

Oh, and niiiice tie in with the American icon, "Justin Timberlake" a BRC street name, niiiiiiice... and yet, so true.

This blog is comin' along real nice! I can relate with all of you. Drugs and religion is a cool idear. Too bad we explored mainly the religion part at Beyond Belief. Hrm... perhaps this: BURNING MAN: ..... Out of Body Experience I too am feeling jipped by the 2008 theme. I really wanted to go this y...

Oh, and I'd most likely hump The Man's leg if he was close enough to hug. Love the low burn platform idea. Eventually life on the playa will come full circle, insects - spectrum rays - growing pains and all and The Man will have to come back down to Earth like the rest of us. Hey! That might be a go...

Wow! This is getting goooood!!

I like the touchy feely theme esp. since I'm feeling extra sensory at the moment.

Keep 'em comin' burners!

I'm gettin' to like the "Galactic Evolution" mo' betta. I feel the "Emotion" theme- although always fun to toy with -is too close to what we've already experienced with "Psyche". Of course, my first theme idear was emotionally based. It's way cool that you're thinking right down to the BRC street na...

Ok, here's another one. C'mon people! Don't make me do all the work. Throw sumpin' out there... here instead of in the political forum of the eplaya. Burning Man 2008: Entropy Rooted from the Greek word metatropi and the Greek symbol S , among its many meanings "entropy" is another way of saying tra...

Soooo, what do YOU think it should be?

Here's mine thus far:

BURNING MAN 2008: LOvE & hATe

So I said: And of course next year's theme's already been announced. "American Dream" Hey! Like, that's my fave B&J icecream, Scoob!! The Man will stand atop the flags of every country, every nation, including ours. Hrm… is he planning world domination?! Then my friend said: So American Dream....d...

You are right, I stand corrected. Ok, so it's a chain reaction and good ozone is better than bad ozone. Good (upper) ozone is that gaseous protective sun shield that surrounds the stratosphere of our planet. It keeps the solar rays from burning away the Earth's living crust, crusty us included. Bad ...

I'm with blyslv in that my contribution to BMan this year is to save the ozone from my car exhaust by not making it to the playa. However, I am going to my local regional burn Apogaea. If ya got a local burn, go!!! They need all the support they can get... and at nearly $4 a gallon... in the end it'...

I'm not gonna make it this year, but this just posted on YouTube.
Michael Pawlyn designed the Eden project in the U.K. along with other
amazing yet sensible green buildings.

Truly an inspiration!! Wish I could afford to have him design my house.

Always with warm fuzzy GREEN love...

Thank the lord sweet geezus that you posted this. I was looking all over for you. Heard your work at Center Camp this year and was hypnotized. Passed on your wonderful sound to my group, Acid House-Class of 88 (of Wayne Anthony fame and construct). Thank you so very much for your playa contribution....

Heheh...

It seems like Ugly Dougly lives minute-by-minute... with an emphasis on keeping himself awake!

I TURNED 30 years ago. Next year, The Man will BECOME 21, YEEESSS!!

With love, et al...

...until I read George Carlin's Views on Aging... (I'm sure some of you have seen this before, but perhaps it'll do ya some good to re-read George's words of WIZdom.) " Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're...

"I would love to watch a frequency/intensity plot of the city seen from above over the course of the day... " That ^up there^ is a wonderful idear! It would be cool if those 'algorythms' could be illustrated in multi-colored 3D, live on the BMan website during the event. Wouldn't it? Another wonderf...

On sale at e-bay: 1000 feet of .75mm Mitsubishi Eska CK30 Fiber Filament = $60.00 You won't need nearly that much. I'm sure $5-10 would get you what you need. Get the tossed out tubing from the hospital. Get the surplus wire. The hardest and most expensive part would be figuring out the illumation. ...

Yeah that's what US Plastics has... "be scrounged from hospitals."... hospital grade clear tubing of different types of medium... plastic, vinyl, etc. There is 1/4" thick+, 1"+ diameter tubing at most warehouses/Ho' Depots too. The tubing is actually pretty light weight for only 15'. Think about a s...

What you could do for the tree effect is buy some clear tubing that they sell by the foot, uncut at Home Depot or Lowe's or some such place then insert each tube 'branch' with strands of fiber optic fillament. http://www.usplastic.com/ sells it by the foot, uncut as long as you need it, and cheap. T...

Below is a suggestion. It's $2/foot, I think. They ship it to you uncut as long as you need it. You could strip off the jacket to the point of where the light source would be. This shop sells the tools for cutting and using fiber, etc. If you email them, they might be able to give you some tips on h...

[Personally, I would like to see more art and less "Mr Souppa DJ Jamma Man" setups.] When is noise art or art noise? The 300 Watt Max sound restriction is a BMORG way of hinting very loudly that, during the past two decades, Burners have over killed the event in regards to the audio art genre and to...

Just goes to show ya that I'm 'innocent.' Now that I'm the wiser, I myself have been desirous of meeting Machine Elves not unlike those of the Class of 88 which one can get to if they search them out via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_House Of course, I'm sure Omni's stumbled across a few along t...

No, I didn't mean that. I guess, for you, I should've used the word "mind" or "intellect" or "consciousness" instead. Thanks a lot. Fear Factor is my least favorite t.v. show and I don't have many favorites. Now my brain hurts... and not in a good way as it was with the David Foster Wallace read. To...

The Great Game SD Thread #5 (Ex-WYOIDC)

Is this what you mean... at least a tiny smidge of what you mean?

Dark chocolate, yes, I was going to include that for those who prefer it. I know there's wax covered dark chocolate for hikers but it's expensive. If I went to a natural food store I'd probably find the tougher stuff. Thanks. You've been quite helpful! = :*)

Last year is when I really got gifted and I cherish each and every one of the gifts. I wish I could find my water bottle bag that Canadian Camp Cat 4 made me! You know, that big orange cat dome on the 9:00 plaza? I've not come across the cheesey store bought raver stuff or otherwise in the 2 years I...
