Ugly Dougly, I'm running AM47 by anyone who will bother to read it. I'm sick and I'm broke and of the handful of people who beleived in me, one has died suddenly and another had a breakdown. So I'm basically floating out here alone offering strangers a chance to get in on something that might just ...

This is not due to a strong police presence, but rather relatively low illegal actvity among the participants. Now, thats just a lie. I read somewhere along the way, that there were 8 arrests this year. I am not sure if that number is correct, but I saw a huge amount of police activity along the Es...

I just want to chime in and let everyone know, as a U of O alumnus, that this twat is not representative of my school. If he were more literate, he'd probably make a pretty good Reedie, though...

Because of all the money I spent on my trip to the playa, I'm going to have to settle for an SKS instead of an AR-15 :(....

But at least I have plenty of eye protection!

Sorry, we all use flamethrowers and 2x4's.

Could someone with more engineering brain than I help with a MV question? We have a working design for an MV and are trying to guess how large an engine it will need. Figure it will have 15" tires (spindles, hubs, etc from a boat trailer), would need to move about 2600 lbs (9 people @ ~175lbs each ...

I have to admit the staff was quite rude - although some friends of mine were inside, the scamps at the door did not admit me. And I was dressed to the nines in a pinstripe suit and neatly-knotted necktie! Hopefully this organization or whatever it is will not be allowed back to the playa this year ...

I camped with a friend who had a 20 footer - they are quite easy to work with if you are stronger than a small child. Watch out for the wind, though - extra pipes (be sure to match interior diameter, exterior diameter, and length) are a must, as is twine for other repairs. Ease of setup is pretty am...

DPW tried to confiscate my beer a number of times - I just told them that it was in my "friend's" van, down thataway... and that they were welcome to it...

they're all the same yadda yadda yadda.


but who would you rather have running the BLM:

McCain,

or

Obama?



and if Obama's elected, I guarantee there will be at least a couple or five of burners who are appointed as (or who are close friends with) high-level Interior Dept. appointees.

Shouldn't that be "Drugs and Bass?"


I camped at 2:35 or so and Fairlane, relatively close to the rave brigade, and even though I could hear plenty, it was easy enough to deal with...

Real problem was inadequate shade for daysleeping....

Awesome! Thanks Heaps... I'll look into our getting our tickets now!

It would be very tough to close it down even if someone tried, and there would be a very big party happening regardless. Just buy the tix.

I was really hoping for a 9/11 style implosion w/ fireworks and fireballs, big enough to make Crude Awakening look like a 15-year-old pyromaniac's butane experiments...

But the view was magnificent.

Has anyone heard of a camp that will have internet or TV access to the Democratic Convention in Denver? As a flaming liberal, I need to watch it!

Is it a coincidence that there is only one borg dept. that uses the same abbreviation as its real-life counterpart?

i've done one side-by-side taste test - $8 vodka run through a britta filter once.


there's a clear and obvious difference.

but if you're planning to mix drinks, just get some everclear and distilled water.

Is there somewhere at BRC where I can turn this mop on my head into bleeding edge postapocalyptic style? Or does the moop factor make this totally impractical?

Personally I think non-mutated vehicles should be allowed. I was trying to point out how grey the grey area gets. Rather than pick and choose which non-mutants get a license it would be better to allow all art in some capacity so folks don't think they're art is being discriminated against in some ...

Chai Guy - I'd like to see them have one single rule wrt: art cars. No internal combustion engines. Both ideas represent what I'd like to see out there. Radical self reliance for art vehicles, and Chai's idea of no internal combustion engines. That does sound like a Chai Guy quote... he hates mutan...
