I hope you have a little more understanding now for the money, work and logistics that go into running a big camp. When you showed up randomly and camped with us at Spike's (with your camp fees gifted) and caused massive amounts of drama I tried to explain to you some of the "bigger picture" that is...

Keep your eye out for the spawn of Spike's - UNDERWORLD

The next generation is going to take it to the next level. Yay!

I met the duckie guys - very cool couple of german's who were down to earth and excited about their project. Nothing but good things to say about them, their art and their camp.

Rock on Duck Boys!

Spike's would like to send out a big THANK YOU to all of our friends and patrons over the last 5 years. It has been our pleasure to serve you! The bar burned on Sunday night after the temple and is no more. Be sure to check out Underworld next year... the next generation will be kicking it up a notch!

Alas, no. But you will get a wealth of playa experiences worth a handful of tickets

Last year was my first time volunteering with the org, so at Ali's urging I chose the DMV. It was seriously one of my best days on the playa! Seeing all the art cars, meeting their owners, taking photos of the cars, climbing all over them - SOOOO much fun! SO much so in fact that I decided to follow...

Spike's Vampire bar will be back on the playa in 2005. What changes would you like to see? What would you like to remain the same?

I've built a couple of domes now, and while I never had any formal blueprint type "plans" I found the calculator on this site to be extremely helpful: http://www.desertdomes.com/index.html This is the site we used to find directions on building our own dome. See pictures of the process at www.spike...

Isn't that how 99.999% of theme camps are thought up?

I crush:

Gothalot - Because he is the best bartender on the planet

Phoenix- Because she's simply divine

Java - Because she's absolutely fabulous

I hope you are going to come back and say hello on the playa next year!!

It's hard NOT to be political at the moment my friends. Just let people vent... for many people this is a time nearly as tragic as 9/11.

p.s. I think GWB is the devil incarnate

Yeah, I agree. We should do an e-playa gathering in the city or something.

I will forgive you as long as you stop by Spike's on the Playa next year!

You in the city DVD?

You don't drink every weekend? Guests from Kentucky or something?

Crap... 11:48 on a Sat night and I'm outta Vino. Anyone wanna hook up the muse with some bevvie? *hic*

I'm sorry for burning Gothalot in the eye with a smoke... drunk Muse... sorryluv.

Better yet, if you discover someone who has snuck in, brin em to Spike's Vampire Bar. We can always use more blood donations.

proofreading would be a GOOD thing, meant to say: We are bringing a new and improved Spike's to the playa with *hopefully* the addition of an outside patio with a more inclusive dancefloor, plans to be open and serve bevvies in the daytime as well as nightime and of course a much better sound system...

Thank you all for you responses. Keep em coming, you are so helpful!
