I am a professional drummer/percussionist from New Orleans. I plan on being here and will have equipment with me if anyone needs my services.

I am working on a trike myself... are there any "trike experts" that can advise on turning a 3-wheeled bicycle into something interesting? I have all the tools but am working on the design now.

http://free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9694.0 My dear MABU: You are blind. Dude... did you even read that shit you referenced? Or did you just google "evolution is false" and cut-and-paste the results... let's look at the first thing I clicked that you cited as "evidence": 1. WHY IS THE THEORY...

You are so caught up on the fact that I am a Christian and your hatred of such that you refuse to even agree with me on any level. You may believe your opinion is as valid as mine, but I'm willing to put mine to the test. All you can do in response is employ misdirection by inappropriately accusing...

WOW!! On evolution: If it were true, then monkeys would still be evolving into humans. Prove to me that they are, then I might give your theory some thought. As someone has already said, humans did not evolve from monkeys. That's another lie that evangelical hucksters tell their gullible followers....

Too many times when someone disagrees with us, we dismiss the argument by thinking that their argument is just ignorant. Take the time to understand the other side of the argument, see where they are coming from and more than likely you will find that you understand and respect their opinion, you j...

"This doesn't surprise me. Christianity is all about picking-and-choosing what you want to believe based on your personal interests, while lecturing everybody else about the exact way the universe works. " Interesting how those "non-christians" do the same thing except in reverse. But christians ar...

The witches at Salem were hanged for the most part. Some were crushed under rocks. Burning a human to death is tricky, messy and time-consuming. Witches were not hung on crosses as far as I've ever seen in the histories. Most cross stories are apocryphal. I believe the notion of using crosses for c...

Also, I will never marry a man or a woman again for that matter.

Uh oh, you made imaginary jeebus cry:

Matthew 19:6:
Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Oh My God! Here we go again...a big debate on something that means NOTHING. 1st (as i said in other posts...search carrie pejean) I am a born again christian. 2nd I (personally) do not believe in Evolution. That being said let me put my two cents in....because i like to hear myself type! I have wai...

Or snarky vs non-snarky.

Speaking of that demographic, what do you guys do out on the Playa? When someone asks you if you have any water, do give them a picture of the beach instead? Inquiring minds want to know.

I know what you mean.. I was thinking what percentage of participants had traditional careers, verses more "fluid, transitive" living states... For example, I imagine the Rainbow Gathering has a much higher percentage of free-spirit types who don't have traditional careers, and aren't 9-to-5'ers ver...

I'm curious if anyone has any demographics on BM attendees? What's your take on the percentage of men vs women, gays vs straights, age breakdown, liberals vs conservatives, professionals vs artists/creative types, locals vs travelers, etc? I'm sure it's all over the place but I'd be curious to hear ...

I don't know of any state that will turn down someone wanting to pay them a tax.

Does humidity affect cooling? I forget. Bear in mind that all inverters have less capacity in heat, unless they are overbuilt to start with. Most won't tell you that though. When the better ones say continuous, they mean it. So a 2000 watt $2000 inverter may actually run at rated power. On the foru...

(Psst. It's considered bad form to keep quoting a picture like that, as it apparently means that more bandwidth is sucked from the host site. We don't want to be bad parasites, do we?) Browsers cache images. You can quote the same image a hundred times and it doesn't increase the bandwidth drain.

There is a Chinese knock-off, the Kipor. It's similar and supposedly pretty quiet. In my experience with different small-engine things, the Chinese cheapies tend to be lower quality, not as long lasting, and IMPOSSIBLE to get parts for. But there are people on here who have bought the Kipor and lik...

I think this sums it up nicely... http://media.richarddawkins.net/images/2009/victor-stenger-bus.jpg wow, what a great sign. Now that I see the link is to Richard Dawkins I see why. JK It should be noted that's not an actual sign that was put on a public bus. The actual signs had the slogan "There'...

I think this sums it up nicely...

Well, I am all for the idea. I will help out with any camp doing these types of events.. contact me if anyone wants help. I am not sure where I'm camping yet but I will help no matter what.

I think the idea is great, and I would definitely participate... so keep me on your list and PM me with any details. I saw in some film clip about something similar... A "Costco Soulmate trading station" or something like that - where you would sign up, and exchange your soulmate for the address of ...

Mabu, Christian fundys have attended Burning Man. In 1996, the theme was Hell (or somesuch), and a couple guys went and wrote about it in Charisma magazine. http://associate.com/groups/end-times_news/0::5569read.html Wow. Great read. It's quite significant that the writer makes reference to the fac...

And low profile so they arent sticking far out from your face. Also has swappable lenses for night or day. And glasses fit under them. f...

What's an effeminate reviler? I actually think this is their codeword for "homosexuals" now. In the wake of the backlash against Prop 8, these guys have toned down their rhetoric a bit. hahaha...what a crazy fuck...GOD i love being an atheist... However you cannot generalize all christians... The i...

While this will be my first burn, I just got out of a 7-year relationship and I will be going solo as well. I'm looking forward to making lots of new friends. I'm not the most outgoing person in the world at first so I'm looking for the best way to meet people. I have heard there may be some kind of...

You all keep on debating about creationism and evolution! What debate? Even in a purely evangelical Christian forum there wouldn't be any "debate". There would be one side making ridiculous claims, and the other rolling their eyes. Are there actual fundy Christians that attend BM? We just had Mardi...

There is only one water, one earth, one air,one fire, one spirit. 6,000 ways to look at each off them. Four of those five things are quantifiable and can be proven to exist using the scientific method. The fifth serves as a metaphor for something else, such as the way people look at themselves and ...
