you can bring your HK to the first annual badkitten playa invitational.

cigarettes and lighters

hi 'yall

be well

heh,

It's why I always roll onto the playa with my "Last Year Was Better" t-shirt. You can usually get a good idea of where a person is coming from based on the reaction.

Hovering is the primary reason pottie camp is so nasty. Sit your faery winged, panty wearing, blinky ass down. Pottie mud is gross, so just stop it. My god! foot prints on the seat? You've got to be fucking kidding me! OK, Yadda, yadda, your poor sensitivities. At least fucking clean up after yourse...

Jesus and Maria.

Why don't they just un-archive the eplaya from the previous year to save people the trouble of typing.


This year was no worse than the last time I went (2005).

No more gunk in the potties than usual
I ran into/over less passed out people
Actually thought the vibe a bit nicer
etc

I was asked a couple of times in my camp while playing where the free bar was. "Aren't we doing enough for you already?" was my reply.

I've been asked this in preious years but for some reason it really knocked me back this year.

why would anyone want to come along with people...

because they are good friends whom I've had fine experiences with in the past and accomplished much with on the playa. It was a tough lesson for me to learn but now that I've learned it I am really looking forward to the next opportunity.

I thought CAA picked you guys up a while ago.


or did that deal sour with bad publicity?

a thank you

I feel very fortunate that 2 vets dragged me to the playa years ago and heavily indoctrinated me on what works and what doesn't out there. If anything, I've forgotten some of what I knew my first year. between the heavy atttrition of vets each year and some camps that provide kitchen, shower, water,...

I think this years post event troll has stood up to be counted.

This year I learned not to go with folks who are just there for the party/spectacle. They inevitably end up being soured by the experience or souring it for you. Camp with folks who are contributing and who have common cause with you on the playa. Be proud of what you are contributing there and then...

I think the ORG kicked ME in the nuts when it came out with the commandments.

I love Chai. I don't always agree with his cause or his ways, but I love that someone is doing it and I love that someone is doing it with his voice and humor. As for selling hats, it's the L.A. BM org way. As for WTF is going on this year. Shit, I took a year off, paid no attention and look what's ...

I'm down with the general philosophical teachings of Jesus.

I'm pretty not down with christianity. Certainly as it appears to be generally practiced.

I've done 10 hours from Venice up the 5. This includes two quick stops for gas and nothing else. This was in an RV so it's not like we were setting any speed records. Coming from SC shaves a bit less than an hour for you. So, 15 hours from where you are seems pretty extreme.

I've done large projection there several years. White nylon curtain sheers work very well for RP but they will get dusty and so have to be cleaned unless you want to loose a lot of light. 2K lumens for a 12'x9' screen will give a decent image. Not something you'd want to watch a movie on at home but...

best luck I've had is silver tarp, 10' high, pulled ultra tight with aircraft cable. As mentioned before, the tarp reflects much of the heat but does get warm. Getting the tarp well above your head is the trick. Keeping it parallel to the ground and tight allows for plenty of ventilation.

I went for three years without my wife. No problems. She knows it means a lot to me and she just plain does not dig it.

Does this pass the test as an acceptable practice

Unless you asked every person who ride by your lense for their permission the answer is no.

If 300 Watts is not enough for your sound system then you have become energy inefficient and your camp or installation has become intrusive, unimaginative, and cliché so, if a camp has a loud PA then it automatically qualifies as unimaginative or cliche. Thank you for showing me the light. Now I wi...

the 'booong' tone is way to resonant for any of those cheap ass hippie drums to achieve.

sophomoritis

No more tribe porn?

I wonder if they consider some boy/girl in panties and fairy wings porn. OTOH, eplaya does not have a gallery section for users to post themselves in their birthday best so it seems a moot point.

most overused music on the playa?

that lowest common denominator rhythm all the drum circles degenerate into

driving around wasted and running people down

Shark,

if you are referring to the art car it is banned due to punk ass behavior.

yeah man,

fuck that bitch tommy bigfinger and his pool. I am having 'pacific ocean camp'. AND it will be private. The real trick will be getting the critters shipped out there for shark feeding at sunset.
