A couple of years ago, unbeknownst to me John Militello started using it to "turn off people's ego", after having seen the videos we make. He had an opportunity to speak at a TedX and told everyone about the project, while Noseing ALL the attendees. It was TRULY unprecedented. Somehow, we've taken t...

In all candor, I'm lovin' the myriad assumptions already being made here about this project :D And Canoe... To date, there have been over 150,000 "successes" gifted with the message I send, which is really OUR message... Along with 5000+ photos, 36 videos and people in over 30 countries around the g...

Who said it was going to be a big "dance only" video?
Shall I list the number of camps and organizational structures that have already said they want to be represented?

OH..and this happened yesterday

And you and your camp and your art car and your friends and your other friends and basically the WHOLE Playa is invited! To be part of WhyTheNose? and our attempt to film a Burning Man version of Pharrell's "24 Hours of Happy"... That's right! A 24-hour music video featuring 360 dancers (one every 4...

Well Goathead, the truth FINALLY came out....
Oh, and:

Hi all, I lost a 1920's era Gatsby flask that is very large and very heavy and is sterling silver gilt on Sunday AM after the Burn. It has a monogram in the upper corner that reads, "TMF" and this thing has a patina you can't describe. It's singularly one of the most beautiful flasks you'll see :) I...

PS, Noses will be available at Center Camp Cafe AND at Eggs Bar, 12:30 and Inner Ring Road, next to Playa Info!

Thanks, it's gonna be a dusty awesome mess out there

WOOT!

Thanks Trilobyte!

In Russia, pencil uses YOU!

Thanks Eric!
Actually, I'll take that into consideration. I've got a few friends who've engineered iPad mounts for the Playa before and I think it's sexy
However, pen and paper works too and it's far less to deal with!

Howdy! Right upfront, I want to link the old thread here: http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic.php?f=282&t=54759 , wherein I thought it would be a great idea to gift clown Noses to everyone at Burning Man 2012 (should they accept the gift) And if you don't know much about WhyTheNose, it's simple: ...

Should we all hug you now?

So, time to start a new thread.
I've re-evaluated all this and I've come up with an idea that's been tempered by insight and wisdom from everyone...both from other sources and here.
I'll post it tomorrow and I really do appreciate all the help
Thanks.

A thought.... How about offering to paint red noses on people with body paint? Somewhere around here I have seen theatrical body paint by the gallon for a reasonable price. Huh. Could it BE that simple and noncontroversial????? Easily contained? And easily cleaned up moop if there's a spill. Actual...

...still for realzies, just catching up on these replies and my updates.
TOMORROW!

...and about 2 dozen others.
I'd like my Snark Badge now please.

no problem tex. thanks for actually putting up with us, we are a snarky bunch of motherfuckers. Speaking of snark, guess how many button ideas my wife and I have contributed to THIS site: http://snarkymcf.com/ I took 500 buttons last year, no MOOP :D But, let's be honest, they all had pinbacks :P

now to be fair, evidently this project has had some success at regionals, and without a moop problem. i think tex should possibly present his plan to eliminate the stray noses that, at least to me, are the largest concern. Tex? Thanks Simon. Again, to be fair, I need to spell out this MOOP concern ...

...and what about the other 50K (give or take) I want to make available to everyone, everywhere else, that wants one?
Face it, the Nose will be the new peace sign and the old Hippies on Haight Street will have to adjust.

my cold heart can see the beauty in alot of things. like covering the entire playa in ice cream, Hot Chocolate and whipped cream and handing out 55,000 spoons... except it would make a big fucking mess. oh wait... nevermind... full steam ahead clown, Circus Peanuts be Damned!... go ahead, get on El...

SRSLY, how can you deny the fun presented here?

or the beauty here?
