The Glitterace Piano Bar is making its grand opening* on Tuesday, September 1, 3am to sunrise at Decadent Oasis, 7:30 / A. On the piano will be the one and only Glitterace, who will be joined by several singers. We'll be playing lots of 70s and 80s tunes, but also open to other ideas. Would love to ...

Any piano tuners coming out to the playa? Would you be willing to tune my piano? I'm setting up a piano lounge at my camp, Decadent Oasis, 7:30 / A. Grand opening is Tuesday at 3AM so would really be grateful for a tuning beforehand. Needless to say, cocktails, praise and gratitude in abundance for ...

Elliot! I played your piano several years ago when we planned performances with an SF-based opera singer. (I forgot her name) I'm setting up a piano lounge this year at my camp, Decadent Oasis, 7:30 / A. Grand opening is Tuesday at 3am. Hope you can come hang. And I'll plan on stopping by to tickle ...

Problem solved! The piano will be at my camp, Decadent Oasis, 7:30 / A.
Grand opening of the piano lounge Tuesday @ 3am!

Hello burners! I'm a composer and pianist based in Oakland. This will be my 9th burn, and my first time finally realizing my dream of creating a piano lounge in BRC. The piano lounge will be located at Decadent Oasis (7:30 / A), and will be open late nights, probably from 4am to sunrise. There will ...

[quote="timmymusic"]I thought I ought to post here first, because I want to let this thread know about a portable stage with a small piano I intend to bring- I took it to Lightning In A Bottle and it was lots of fun to play and share. The stage is actually big enough for a small drum kit and a bass ...

Thanks for all the great feedback.

At this point I have more ideas than I know what to do with!
What I need most is a partner(s) who can design and help build the structure. I'm clueless when it comes to construction or design.

How about a toothpaste filled toilet bowl that heckles redheaded passersby with "your momma" jokes in Aramaic? Has that been done yet?

No shit?!?! I didn't see that. Hmmm, so I'm totally unoriginal. Drats!

The idea I have goes back many years. It started when I was living in NYC, and used to go out to bars and public areas with a good friend, a recording device and a camera. We would talk to strangers (while getting drunk usually) and ask them to share stories with us. Any stories that they thought we...

amir, im a pianist too, and will be camping at 3:00 and D with BRC institute for unlearning. i'll bring the jazz, funk, R&B, pop, and rock chops.

don't sweat it elliot. even if you brought one piano it would be a major contribution and greatly appreciated. as a matter of fact, if you brought no pianos, we'd still be singing and dancing!

How about a keytar? It's not technically acoustic, but it is technically unplugged (runs on batteries) and self-amplified.

if you need someone to be socially awkward with, i'll be at the BRC Institute for Unlearning, located at 3:00 / D.

tal

Excellent!

I'll get in touch with her, and we'll coordinate time/place with you.

Oooooh baby! I would love to schedule another singalong. Also, COLAH and I were planning on performing together. Can't wait to hear her sing her heart out. Looks like I'll be camping with BRC Center for Unlearning located at 3:00 / D, but of course we can set up our singalong anywhere. I'll also hav...

robrob, in my experience, the most difficult part of the shower is evaporation of grey water (or some other disposal method). i'm pretty sure you want the catchment base to be black and as much surface area as possible. otherwise you might find yourself with a big pile of grey water and nothing to d...

mayava, check out mal-mart and black rock city university for unlearning. should be some others as well.

zanek, there should still be camps looking for campmate that can help out with what you need. did you check out mal-mart?

shit, some crazy stories on here. this will be my 5th year and i dont remember anything remotely violent.
ok, maybe that anal fisting on the playa could be interpreted as aggressive, but im telling you he was being real gentle about it.

lordy, lordy, lordy...yet another "must see/dance" camp to add to my list. looks like i'll have very little time for reading or watching tv this year.

BS, you've just raised my level of excitement by a few notches. if i was a dog, my tail would be wagging furiously right now.

hey lucifer, are you still looking for campmates? i'm a working musician (keys), coming with 3-4 friends. one is a great cook, others are pretty handy. we havent decided where to camp yet. i remember stopping by the golden cafe last year and basking in the sounds. would love to get into the mix this...

[quote="HotBox_brcu"]Black Rock Center for Unlearning is taking in Applicants for the new school year ;-) We're at 3 'n D, decent sized theme camp in our second year with a well established infrastructure, some great amenities, low dues, and fun people! Pretty laid back and always looking for people...

i'd love to help out. im a working musician (keys), but scheduling will be a problem cuz i'm leaving on saturday. and also shamefully admit that i can't be trusted to be anywhere in particular at 10:30am. nevertheless i was planning on bringing my keytar, so if you have a need for me without being a...

are you looking for original music? or an entire sound system? or both?

[quote] We're still looking for brewers, graphic artists, builders, musicians, vintners, martial artists, and other folks who want to give their all to making a successful village - our little plot includes the Golden Cafe, Black Rock Brewery, Black Rock Vineyards, Black Rock Bakery, Black Rock Wine...

yo lucifer,
are you still looking for campmates? what are the details?

would you really destroy a steinway concert grand? say it ain't so. that makes me weep. where would one play it before destruction time?
