I think it's a bad idea... how can people start creating and investing money in projects when there is only a 'chance' that they may go?

help an old bumpkin out here...what, actually IS a raver, and what exactly constitutes a rave?

Thanks for all the good reading ideas, here are a couple of mine: Just finished "Oryx and Crake" by Margret Atwood. Pretty hip for an old Canadian gal. She's an amazing writer and this is her first foray into the science fictiony realm. You'll never eat chicken again. 'Nymphomation" by Jeff Noon is ...

re/ Tasty Bites If you live anywhere there might be a real east indian store look for similar meals by Ashoka. They have like two dozen differrent curries and rices for less than half the price of TB's. I found them for $1.50 in Boise. My other favorite playa food was a beverage, I made tons of Thai...

So first I was gonna try an' make a funny about how do you get all those domes to roll down main street throwing candy and then I thought -Ohmigod! How cool would that be? To have a dome on big pneumatic casters? 5V=21 vertices, x about $40 ea. $800 some? Hmmmm....

Five. It's a 5/8 5V 38'-er. It took seven of us about ten hours one weekend to fabricate all the parts and about four hours to erect it, although we could have used another person for the last lift. (we built it from the top down) I have to credit my friend Josh's dad (an engineer) for the log split...

I have been thinking of building a small, 12' or so dia., dome in a high frequency, 5 probably in the 5/8 configuration, so I would have a ceiling height of about 8ft or a little less, anyways... doing this so I could use very small struts and then leaving the major hexes assembled, they would be ab...

we rented a log splitter for four hours, welded jigs on and cut them off after. two guys pressed all 500 some peices for a 40' dome with time to spare to return it.

oh rob...you slay me.

-besides...who knew I had a fetish? I dated this girl in high school who wore these wonderful angora sweaters... and now that I think about it... maybe that should be linked to plushies... there was this really cute bunny rabbit on the playa last year...

mostly I just liked the pretty colors.

hmm, nice work.

oh, p.s. -in the interest of diversity we are trying to put together a sort of future primitive punked up zigfield follies meets industrial kodo drummers type performance for next year.

(but can you dance to it?)

while hanging out at uber carney thats all there was. while watching two musicians at center camp around two am, thats all there was. while watching an awesome band (somewhere) thats all there was. I guess my point is that there is so much going on at any given time, that you can focus on anything. ...

ya, but HE started it!

damn, I was a little tipsy and I was just kidding, is there an emoticon for having your tail between your legs?

So I'm a manager here at Applebees in DesMoines, and the other night at work, I'm sitting at a table having a coffe and smoke break and at the table next to me I hear this woman who must have been like sixty, telling her friends about BM. Well, I just assume that she had seen the coverage on ESPN II...

It's like taking the red pill.

I tend to have dreams where I arrive on the playa without all of my stuff and fret over whether or not to drive home 8hrs to get it all. -Sounds pretty similar to the 'showingupatschoolnaked' dream.... And in a semi related vein...I keep having these dreams,...a few nights ago I dreamed that I was ...

Hey! thanks everyone in this thread for such a positive combo of wit and wisdom. Clearly some good folk.

And there are very beautiful men and women strolling the playa. people being the spiritual, sexual creative human animals that our evolution has driven us to be.

well put.

ahhh... the Cryptofishists biting wit strikes again...well done grasshoppah!

Unfortunately there is still a lot of sex discrimination in this world and a lot of my female friends have difficulty expressing their power and beauty without being considered bitches or sluts. So, in an evironment such as Burning Man that is for the most part safer and more equitable than others, ...
