oh, fuck it, I don't know why I even try anymore. I guess I should just accept that all people everyone are disrespectful assholes, and go home and blow my brains out.

Thanks for being good li'l burners, y'all.

You communicate to the operator by interacting with the robot. I call bullshit. In the world of "no expectations," how can a ranger, or anyone besides the creators, be expected to know that? I would have done the same thing had I been in the same situation. And I'd do it again on Saturday. And I ag...

Tandembride!

It was so great to see you at the meet'n'greet. I LOVED your dress. loved loved loved it.

I have been harassed at the greeters' before for a very similar situation. I was in a caravan with another car, the car was in line immediately in fornt of me. There were three people between the two cars. I had three bikes on my car (I was the only person with a bike rack) and they had all the wate...

"Mexican Sushi" (flour tortillas spread with cream cheese, salsa, veggies, tuna or whatever filling you like - roll it up and slice into sushi sized pieces)

That's freaking brilliant!

yah, where is Bambi? I sent him a msg a while back about some mannequins & never heard from him. I hope he's okay.

I work at a specialty fashion library.

They want me to bring back pictures. (I declined.)

One of my co-workers even suggested the library pay me to go. That was weird. (I declined.)

Yeah, who says college students are all 18-22 years old? : )

Did someone say "packing list"? http://mysite.verizon.net/pivy/BurningManPackingList2006.doc As far as to-do lists, I've got most of mine completed (yay!) but earlier in the year a friend turned me on to http://www.tadalist.com and I've been using it ever since. I wish it was more hierarchical, but ...

Hee!

Razor wire was actually the original idea. I had several friends talk me down from that.

It's designed to go with my "Thanks for Not Hugging" t-shirt.

Cool! I'll wear mine. I'm making it out of barbed wire & broken glass... : )

Don't get me wrong, i thought the point you were trying to make--searching under alternate terms might yield more desired results--was perfectly valid. On ebay, did you also look up, dance skirts, crinolines, square dance, square dance slips? Those are cheaper than tutus and practically the same thi...

Yes I know the difference, but the sellers on ebay don't

M, you know I love you, but that is SO not what your post said.

Those are cheaper than tutus and practically the same thing.

Tell me you did NOT just say that...

Their store is 15 minutes from where I live and I've gotten great stuff from them before. I buy my work boots there. They're good peeps.And they always have some awesome random surplus military vehicles for sale in the parking lot.

I finished knitting my very first sock this morning! It only took me 5 months. I'll probably be plugging away on the second one during the knitting circle.

Yay knitting!

I bought six pairs. I think I'm pretty set.

I figure the ones I don't use for me or the mannies, I'll give to other people who might want/need them.

Awesome! Now my mannequins can have goggles, for that extra special BM-fashion touch. Thanks! eta: I just spoke with a SUPER-nice woman from the website on the phone, she is trying to update the site as fast as possible but she just can't keep up with all the hits she's been getting from this link. ...

I've gotten enough back-talk from the headless mannequin I already have...I think I'll pass. But thanks for keeping an eye out for me!

Right. It not "a" thread. It's my thread. I started the discussion. I'm the one looking for mannequins. If someone wants to come in and write a message saying, "Hey, i know this store/work there/whatever and it's a great place to get some mannequins" I'm cool with that. If some business does a freak...

SQT: Don't you have to check that little box or whatever and accpet the terms of service (one of which is non-commericaliasm) before you post?

I'm not sure ignorance is an approariate excuse in that case.

Still won't patronize them.

Well, now I can add another store to my "do not patronize" list.

I'm in the market for one more mannequin, and you can rest assured I won't be buying it there, nor directing anyone else to.

do many of you feel a certain connection to your art that makes it sensitive to others comments? if someone was to give you praise, would that just make your day? if someone were to criticize your ideas, would it take a lot of passion and motivation away from doing it? I feel like I have a great ma...

> wonder what would happen if you just set it up on the open playa anyways The problem in the situation arises from the fact that I don't want to set it up on the open playa. Part of the interaction of the artwork includes, well, me, and other people, and human communication and storytelling. Settin...

My project will not be labeled "Art" by the BMOrg if it's not located on the open playa.

I find it hard to discuss my "Art" if it's not "Art."

I'm collecting mannequins.

It didn't start out that way, but it's strangely addicting.

"Gift" does not equal "swag." Let's not define one with the other. I have many gifts from Burning Man that I do not keep in a shoebox or hanging on my desk, but rather hold them in my head, and in my heart. I might agree with the encouragement to downsize schwag. I do not agree with downsizing gifts.

So Rose,

What are you gonna do with those mannequins once you're done with your video...?
