Hallo and welcome to all my friends! it is so good to have been remember by some. Hallo to Elorrum, and to Gyre. I am remembering Elliot from back then, but sorry I don't think we meet. and yes friend Ygmir. You helping us was of much benefit, I am only wishing we could have done more. Yes, our tea...

If you're interested, GlamMantis will be nesting in front of Camp Robotronia near the corner of 3:30 and B. Here's a nice video her from some other perspectives at her recent battle with MiniMan at Reno Compression this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xX41hsju3Z4 She can't wait to nibble on you...

Video of MiniMan vs. GlamMantis in three rounds of battle at Compression Art and Fire Festival 2012, Reno, Nevada:

Doing facial reconstruction on GlamMantis now. She took a digger when I had my back turned at Voodoo Festival and somebody pushed her over... wham! It's funny to be cleaning New Orleans mud out of the cracks to set her new cheek bones in. Random's idea of fluorescent fringe on her forearms is razzam...

We're bringing a truncated version of our camp Robotronia this year. Hoping to be near the 3:00 plaza with a new incarnation of this: www.mutantvehicle.com/mantis.htm

Thanks, all. You have it right, WVB, in that she can be dissassembled and packed into an SUV, which we did a while back when String Cheese Incident hired her for a show in Oregon. Nothing like hippy heads for a midnight snack!

GlamMantis has been challenged to a rematch fight to the death by this guy: www.mutantvehicle.com/miniman.htm this summer in Reno: http://compression.controlledburnreno.com. Last battle she removed and walked off with his head for a prize but must have left his massive balls intact for him to want t...

She's still a 14 foot tall praying mantis worn and op...

Thanks to everyone who posted here. The Georgie Boy crew and I appreciated both the positive words of support as well as the more negative insights. Yes, I fucked with you, dear neighbors. There are hours of expected slumber you will never in your life have back and for this I beat my chest and sing...

Hiya Burner friends. It's been a pretty rough ride since our return from the playa, and I wanted to share with you some of the stuff that transpired during the event as it relates to the project. Please forgive me in advance for such a long post. Here goes, and thanks for your interest... In the opi...

We are currently looking in Japan, where some resistance indicates we may be on to something.

Gather all mitts! Destroy all planets!

Preview/audio tour for the project is up at:


It's "George-ous"!

As I explained in a previous post, we are hoping to replace the project materials and components that were destroyed in the house fire of one of our volunteers. Please click the link and contribute what you can and/or forward it out to your burner friends: http://www.indiegogo.com/Georgie-Boy-Fallen...

What a duo, the dog has a Boo-Boo sensibility about him.

Ha! I can hear that! Pic-a-nic baskets!

Georgie Boy Sings!:

Here's an example of what will play from time to time in Georgie Boy's motel TV: Liza Minelli Interviewed About Georige Boy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dE9WVkj9OA Will likely chop it down for time. Video and writing by Dave Cherry. Voice over by Ashley. Thanks to you too, Foxfur. After much of o...

Yes, indeedy. Self-expectations have a habit of mounting up this time of year. My friend Irish coined the phrase "Artistic Triage" and it's a good thing to observe around now. One thing that helps our crew is a cardboard box (and folder on the computer) labeled "2012 Ideas". We get so in the "flow" ...

When I imagine experiencing art, I like to place it in a context or day part-- not that it will happen that way for me. For example: The Temple at sunrise, The Pier casting shadows beneath the mountains at sunset, and The Fountain of Light very late at night.

True dat, Dick. With the smaller tubes I sometimes put them in zip lock bags to keep the viscosity goopy just like when it was opened as they never seem to perfectly seal even if you twist the cap down hard. Perhaps I could try it with the gallon bags on the big tubes.

Not that I need it, but I bought three of the BIG tubes of Marine Goop that fit inside my caulk gun so BACK OFF FUCKERS!

Oh I just think it's funny. 8) I am totally in favor of everybody putting their best efforts toward actually making their projects happen. 8) It just seems hilarious to me that the grandiose level of confidence required to put these big projects together also extends to the rewards promised.... ......

Thanks MyDear. That must be frustrating so see your generosity get ignored like that. I'm pretty sure I delivered 100% of the rewards after last year's burn for the Ein Hammer Kickstarter. This year I sent an update to all contributors to our Georgie Boy project that rewards have been delayed but th...

Posha is completing her outfits for the four-member Motel Rat Chorus that will sing barbershop backing vocals to Georgie Boy's awful show tunes:

66. You announce that you are not going to Burning Man but that you are organizing a huge regional burn... in Reno.

I signed up for eplaya in 2004, when I started getting ready to go to Burning Man for my first (and so far only) time. I thought, "Hmmm... What I do want to use as a screen name? Hmmm..." . Thanks, Ring. Mine started the same way in the same year. And I was all inspired by the stories of cool sound...
