Dr. DNA, this is yet ANOTHER stroke of sheer genious! I mean I thought the Vortex Casino was good, so good I'd thought of it MYSELF but never followed thru... Now you add "Halloween" elements, thrills and chills anyway, and I am just so humbled! Always wanted to lead blind folded and bare footed par...

A lil Birdy told me that the 2005 Theme was to be "The Mind." I hope that's not the case as that sounds as bad as The Body in 2000! IMHO. ~POL

I did! (Notice a lack of fire this year.) Whass up with THAT? In past years flame belching vehicles terrorized even the fathest reaches of BRC. Only after the Burn when burn platforms sprang up on the Playa did it feel almost right. My only direct and personal experience with fire at this year's "bu...

If you speak of the Dome at 3 o'cllock Plaza, I oue you many thanks! I spoke to someone about my own age that said he grew bored of "Classic Rock" and was straying into Country... Nice bar, too. Thank You All!

Hey Man, I'm one of those "Old Dudes" that grew up on D&D (when it still used dice) and have always wanted to watch/play MtG. Afraid I would be tagged as a "pervert" if I hung out at local teeni-scene! Now BRC is the perfect place for different generations to interact, and Magic the Gathering the pe...

Jack Straw-- (From Whichitta?) How about Liquid Nail? Comes in tubes used with standard calking gun. Very strong adhesive.! One thing you don't want is for all those beeds to shed on the Playa..!

By Jove Bob A, I too smell dirty feet! Someone should wash his socks!

Yo! This whole "sex camp" thing is so wrong I am ashamed to even be replying... There's no need for a Brothel at BRC. Anyone who cannot find a mate is overlooking the abundant playa resources. The whole thing with "guards" and such is so BS! The original poster CHILD is obviously posting a "fake" me...

Alas, my heart goes out to sad solo spoon orphans! Socks are a naturaly paired but so often get seperated. I suppose there's room for both projects...

LLB, forget all the politics--lets talk about your project! Sounds like just what the good doctor ordered, IMHO. As for the masks, for that is something I have some experience with (building and performing,.) I wonder what you're using. I would suggest "paper mache." Not your childhood PM of newspri...

Wow, thank you all, (especially "Retro-Pasta," "Blue Kooch," "Tiarra," and "Mole Man") for your support! The project is back on track after some serious doubts were overcome by your words of wisdom, proof that this E-Playa is an invaluable tool for planning and exicuting esoteric projects and concep...

Ooh! Sounds GOOD! Just some basic questions: where will you be located and how will you be powered 24/7; do you have a stage, lighting, and PA? Do you need any technical people: stage hands, carpenters, electricians? Do you need any lighting, sound gear, or special FX? 2 Las Vegas Stage Hands seekin...

Wow! you guys are harsh! Way back on page one I was talking about the idea of bringing an electric scooter that was so fully Mutated that it would not seem to even need wheels to glide silently across the Playa and in effect would be a "mobile sculpture" for the viewing benefit of all. All the feedb...

RMouse, I recall NO "cut-thru" problems or tripping (make that STUMBLING) incidents at our Camp last year, unlike in 02. Upon relection the answer seems to be our structure; the big boxy main tent had no exterior guylines, was firmly planted across the front of the site, and ringed by those solar ya...

Wow! There ARE alot of scoot-threds, see Chi Guy above, but to answer "how practical" motorized scooter are is to open a BIG can of worms. I've bought and stripped down in prep of mutating a 350 watt electric scoot. Now I wonder if I'll bring it after all. Sure I'd transform it into something beyond...

I guess I'm on the wrong thread but came here by clicking the link... I wanted to defend the person of "Ms. Y Depraved" against the charge of "spamming" or sending unwanted promotions to the Thread. I had just asked (with all honesty) what this "Rescue" stuff was, what it did, and in plain language ...

Rodent, sounds like you know your options! About the diameter of your conduit, make sure your rebar strait stakes fit snugly inside. ie: 3/4" rebar with 1" conduit. Drive the rebar into playa with 1' exposed, bang conduit leg-pole over exposed rebar, rock solid! I found corner connectors (Y's, T's, ...

How big a wigwam? How tall a Teepee? Relax man, you're two tents! -Sorry, just couldn't resist. :lol: How big/tall are you thinking? I've seek these great tall telephone pole sized riggs over the years... For under $100 sounds like you're thinking of a smallish construct, like 8' diameter x 12' tall...

If this is your first Burn, then an RV may sound like a magic bullet cure to all that ails you at Black Rock. Even if you read all the above comments and feel ready to overcome these headaches (yes, they--Johnny on the Spot-- do offer to fill h2o tanks and remove grey water for a fee) do you really ...

:cry: I bought a big Igloo cooler/warmer with wall plug and cigarette lighter adaptor a couple years back and I'ts been in the bottom of my pile ever since! MAYBE it would keep cold thing cool a little longer than nothing, and keep hot food luke warm, but for any type of roadtripping or camping it's...

Griffin, a key but easily overlooked part of your original message was the fact that you wanted to cover your structure with 'mesh' vs. tarp...that changes everything! Since tarps are no different then sails, a Tarped structure must be more heavily reinforced and lashed down. If you used "garden pla...

Now Mr Mouse, isn't that a bit extream?! Last year the good folks across and downward in time (but upward on the clock) from us had a typical construction scaffold. I politely asked and was granted permission to climb 32' to top and take pictures (some of them areal views of our own camp I might add...

Hey now, if you have more time than money you should not buy some package deal but design your own structure. I found 2 seperate stalls at local Flea Market that sell to vendors. Bought a 30' x 24' white tarp for $30 and all the corner connectors for about $3 each. Check your local Swap Meet for the...

Oh my Ghawd! Aint the world getting smaller all the time? Bowin Ranch (as per Honey's past post) I think I've been there! Put $5 in an evidence bag and slip thru the slot, park and hike down to the river. Several pools and cold river water with cliff trail back to Bowin's? What a spleanded spot! I f...

IcePack, best bet is to borrow one or better yet just buy pre-made connectors. See above on Flea Market finds. Also sold thru Rouse Mouse's fav tarp site. If nothing pans out, e-m me and I'll buy them myself from Broad Acres Swap Meet and send to you! But look for pre-made for sale locally first (ma...

I mean to say: I knew it was a joke all along, almost got me... -Pol

so we can jam as bfor? and not be out of luck? Am so siked! _seedy

Yea baby, the Date farm! That's a must see if in the region. Like a secret oasis hidden between the dunes. Good Date Bread, too! Buck up $1 for the guide book and hike all over the canyon. China Ranch near Tecopa HS. -Pol

Ain't life a wonderful thing! :P That barren patch (like the surface of the Moon) could be transformed into vibrant coolective one weekend and then ALL traces of our passage removed. Honey, what weekend is it that they do the big town-wide celebration, memorial day or 4th of July? I've seen the stag...

On another thred Honey asks about the HSs below Hoover Dam. I went once years ago to the one called BoyScout HS. You park off road just before you get to view of the dam (see HS Guide for milage) at trail head and hike down a VERY steep rocky trail with a steel cable in places to hold onto. I had he...
