It quite frankly gives me the willies, the bit about people who have left this world. It is not based on community if a person such as myself has differing views on the afterlife. I'd love to see a temple for the community to worship, contemplate or reflect in their own spiritual way, just not desi...

2004 was my first trip Home. And of all the amazingly cool shit there is to see and do out there on the playa YOUR SHOWS blew me away the hardest and made the deepest and longest impression on me. I've seen your shows at the Fillmore and the Independant, but it always kinda saddened me that you stop...

Cool. Pop on by 8:15 and E some evening to see how it's being put to use...

Cool if that's the case. If you could pass word on to him (just to make sure) and have him reply, that would be more-or-less awesome. (The guy who can't go would like the ticket to go to someone who helped our camp, but he's getting antsy about holding it, too. So the dude gave me until this afterno...

You asked me to keep an eye out for an extra ticket. I have a line on one, you still need it? Reply here if yes, and we can figure out something.

(PM system here is being obstinate, that's why I didn't just call you - that's where your phone number is.)

Yah, I got the same thing. Which really sucks, because I need to dig a phone number out of a PM so I can make arrangements to get my art transported...

*frets*

We already got one in place. It's called the White House.

How do you get a giraffe into a refrigerator? You open the door, shove him inside, and close the door. How do you get an elephant into a refrigerator? You open the door, take the giraffe out, shove the elephant in, and close the door. All the animals are holding an election to see who gets to be Ki...

... Damnation and hellfire, the shit I miss on the boards by being busy. Run with it man. This is better than free cable. And the way I see it, you *are* playing nice. If you were mean, you'd have suggested UbErPlAyA. (typing like that is a *serious* pain in the ass, how the hell does she do that on...

Omnivore is the only one with the 'naughty' connotation, so that's my default setting.

If they're any fucking decent at all, they should be cool with it. I got a job last fucking october, and when I was talking to the last interviewer (the fucking HR guy) I mentioned 'oh yeah I already got my Xmas plane ticket home bought, and I won't be around for 2 weeks at the end of the year' and ...

Be a *little* careful with them though. Cut up zipties or chunks thereof tend to wind up as moop. It's not as bad as nails/screws/staples/blinkies/cigarette butts/pistachio shells, but they are noticeable.

hope that clears things up.

Important caveat: Only if you catch me.

What about a special celebrity petting zoo? You could actually watch and touch real live celebrities. Wild ones would be in special pens that look just like their real environments. Tame celebrities could be in petting pens. We'd need a special celebrity hunter safari crew to go out and trap them o...

I know somebody with a great jerky recipe, if'n you're interested.

Just sayin'.

So the issue (you're saying) is if the event was accessible to students then other people would have to take a couple days off. I can't imagine it would be that big of a deal to the people for whom BM is such a big part of their year. I can say for myself that I'd want more than a day cushion befor...

Maybe having it the same week as the holiday makes things easier...? One extra day of burn time (or one extra day for travel) without having to take time off from work makes sense to non-school-attending folks. You might not like the reason, but 'tain't stupid. You don't like it, ask the org *nicely...

Nah. But I do donate blood every two months.
(I assume that counts too)

Definitely cruise around here for survival-type tips, and playa comfort. Not having good shade or food you can readilly prepare can be a serious blow to your enjoyment of the whole spectacle. As far as art and costumes and performances... you can look at stuff all you want beforehand, it won't matte...

WHAT??!?!!!? Dammit, that will make my portfolio worthless! I must slay all that know this secret in order to protect my vast wealth. I'll do for you just like I did all those pesky Kennedys! Send out the hounds! I'll show you what happens when you interfere with a true plutocrat.

Sure, take a ferry to Ireland, and then Boston is just the next parish over... Another resource to look into somewhere on these boards (I'm too lazy to look it up, but you can find it easy w. a quick search) is the Black Rock Burner Hostel. This dude can help hook you up with accomodations, shelter,...

Someone PLEASE tell me this is just an elaborate satire. *Closes eyes and prays silently*

I was just going to suggest a little red Radio Flyer wagon. Between what you can carry yourself plus pull along behind you, you should be set. For that matter, if you still have too much to tote, ask for help from the camps you'll be performing for - seems fair enough, anyways.

We stick our regular $30 tents and use a carport for our shade structure. Leaving one side or end open for ventilation still cuts down the wind and lets you breathe a little easier. It gets kinda hot during the day, but you're not in your tent then, right?

As far as the changing thing goes, that's more than cool. But you keep switching, and going on to something else, and then again... the message gets muddled. And clarity was not his strong point. As for the attention span thing that's based on my own experiences with a 16' board that somebody set up...

And he's been holding it the whole time, too! Take some pity on the poor bastard willya?

Well, what's creepy/annoying about frat boys coming out to the playa looking for nude girlies and recreational sex?

Save on postage - try and find somebody else in your area who's reliable enough to bring them out to the playa for you. Ideally somebody else from your camp, or who's helping out w. Megapixels and is already delivering a bundle of fabric.

Turn your stereo up as high as possible. Go into the next room over and try to sleep.

I know I do, at least at this 1/4 way through stage. I'm uncertain as to how it will ultimately turn out, and therefore particularly anxious about it. There's really only room for one person to work on it, so I can't share the workload/let somebody else deal with it/unburden myself. If I got praise ...
