BORG2 voting on art continues, now until tuesday. the jrs announced the end day as tuesday, not this saturday, so we have gladly gone with this error. voting is proving to be fun. we encourage you to vote early and often (though we have the technology to catch you if you do . . .). you can see the r...

clay tarurus is still MIA.

seems the most voiciferous accuser doesn't like sunshine very much.

j

clay taurus? you continue to hide. where are you? you are not allowed to make the severe accusations you have and remain behind an alt. if you want your accusations to have any hearing, you need to be accountable before the public you are involving, with a verified name and person. or is my paranoid...

thank you cory. we all look forward to an independent review so we all know waht happened here. i also look forward to this issue being resolved without anonymous accusers. there is no "witness pretection program" in the court of public opinion. the fact that clay taurus finds it reasonable to make ...

thank you for that dragonfly. many people have worked very hard on teh tech, voting logistics, privacy vs verification, admin response, and policies for how to consistently deal with the ambiguities that were sure to arise in the voting. i don't know what happened in your case, as i was asleep all d...

seems at this point everyone is with sin and blood on their hands. we should all apologize to everyone. i apologize to everyone for everything. let's now do something interesting. enough backward looking. and let's erase this whole disaster thread of sin and treachery in all directions. there is no ...

Sorry for flubbing Amy Shapiro's ePlaya name. the above note is to: Amy Shapiro / GlowScreen. it has nothing to do with Geekster.

Shaky angry fingers make typos.

(taking a stroll through the eplaya, after a long time not here, only to find this pile of shit) Amy Shapiro / Geekster, you should be ashamed of yourself. To roll out such incendiary drivel on a public list, against someone like corey who has done so much for this community for so many years, with ...

A "pledge" doesnt mean shit. Show me the money. it is a matching pledge. we only get it when we raise the $25,000 match. this is how a challenge donation works. i do lots of non-profit fundraising in my day job. i have done this for years. donors often like to do this cause it makes them feel like ...

yes, i discussed it with bastian this summer. he is interested. we are very interested in making this happen. it is an obvious one. charlie and i proposed the lhpo to ladybee a couple years ago and suggested we could raise half the needed money with city shows before the desert. she said no cause it...

as the first post said, this donor wishes to remain anonymous, as is often the case with local creative types who also happen to have a reasonable amounts of financial resources. they don't want to distinguish themselves amongst friends with money. that can create discomfort. but they do want to hel...

>different from any other big camp it's different in size (many blocks, instead of part of one) and in process (they don't have to submit the same sort of detailed plan that smaller camps do). given the speed with which this is propagating, we'll likely be half an arm of the city by the time this i...

the guardian article has rustled up lots of new interest in the BORG2 effort and we are getting a rather steady stream of $10-$100 donations. About $2,000 in total at the moment. But we also got a whooper 2 days ago. An anonymous donor came forward and pledged 10% of total art fund goal of $250,000 ...

dork, the real work of figuring out the process of selecting the guest art curators/facilitators/evangelists, a llc like board, a comptroller/treasurer, and other x's, y's and z's will start in earnest at the meeting next wednesday at the odeon. yes, we do have lots of real work to do. we originally...

jeeeezzzzz . . . the paranoia and zeal to find fault here is amazing. baffliing really. and ultimately boring. remind me to not gather troops from the eplaya next time there is an interesting creative question on the table and in need of engagement and elaboration. i'd do better with a random sampli...

well Shinxy, let me be the first to uninvite you.

this doesn't really seem like the right experiment for you. might i suggest you check out the rainbow gathering. i think you will be pleased with what you find there . . .

""Whatever happened to Radical Inclusion and respect?"" you realize, of course, that "radical inclusion" is an anathema to every other principle that has ever at one time or another been pronounced to be a part of the burning man ideal. "radical inclusion" without clear ideas about what we are doin...

(forwarded with permission of Mr. Harvey) Dear Chicken, Jim and the other participants of the BORG2, On behalf of BORG1, I, Larry Harvey, accept your bet. What is more is truly more.

At 35,000+ people Burning Man’s population has outgrown its ability to function as a satisfying cultural setting. Here I need to stop and give credit to “The Pattern Language” by Christopher Alexander, et. al. [Memo to Larry: You need to pull your copy down off the shelf and re-read it. Now.] In th...

bob a said "Well ok now that scares me. Remember before I said I'd be willing to donate if this happens. Well if you don't have the administration / business sense to understand why these are important issues then how are you going to manage a $250,000 budget and organize a fare voting process and a...

i can't believe so many of you are so thrilled to discuss the intricasies of the bureacracy and interaction and rules and policy and other formalisms that will surely need to be worked out around/between borg1 and borg2, if larry accepts the bet. but it is disturbing this is your first thought in re...

please don't call us the "BMorg2". we are the BORG2. we are reclaiming vocabulary, kinda like fag and other pejoratives reclaimed in the name of affirmation. we request to be named as we like to be named, or we will search your brain for the errant naming neurons (as per the corallary to thesis #6) ...

not that i shouldn't be banned too, but . . . after i publically called out dvd burners long running tirade of content free posts offering little but painful emotocon humor, we had a nice pm exchange ending with a beautiful dvd artwork inviting me to "suck the shit out of my(his) ass". it was really...

from the "conservative vs. progressive" discussion on tribe: "And while we are at it, the accompanying "10 guiding principles": regionals.burningman.com/netwo...rinciples.html " wow. actually, i had never noticed this before, but in larry's 10 principles, art / creative work does not even rise to a ...
