Root society? Opulent Temple? Thunder Dome?

Ok, add to BM packing list:
1) lederhosen
2) a feathered headdress (shit, no feathers on the playa: figure out how to make a marabou headdress)
3) Dominos for the invasion
4) a parka for the Cold War

Hey Kernel! According to the Playa Domino Theory this is the first sign that you'll be fighting a cold war next year!

No. You have the wrong idea. We can make a secret pact, and each have our own spheres of influence.

remember, we serve as a a bulwark against the hippies. we have advanced technology, and highly trained, motivated and viciously drunk techies, as well as a new, evolved, genetically superior and improved raver who can literally dance their way thru hell and high dust storms without wanting to cuddle.

together we can deal with the patchouli menace in a classic pincer movement.

we'll decide how to divide up first camp later.

as well as the growing question of the Chinese, and their unauthorized celebration "Burning Fun Guy".

Ya' know, it might not be the Chinese you guys have to worry about...

I think it's "no marabou" (as in feathered boa) on playa; AFAIK, regular feathers are OK.

Yeah, I forget about sarcasm. It is a human emotion. Fascinating.

Ok, ok, no marabou OR feathers.
Note to self: work on a head dress made of metal.

Is that non-moopy enough?

Simon of the Playa · Post by **Simon of the Playa** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 4:15 pm

if it's certified organic, free range recycled metal, then yes.

but seriously, the DPW spends countless hours picking up feathers, sequins and even minute glitter (known as "playa scabies") so if your doing the drag queen thing, or an ABBA re-enactment, or even sequin dresses, try to make sure everything is secure as possible because somebody WILL have to pick it up.....i see beads alot too.

marabou in particular tends to shed, and boas in general, unless they're synthetic are a no-no....

quilled feathers such as in Nat. Amer. headress MIGHT be OK, i'm not sure how they view that, but if it's something nice like that, i wouldn't bring it out there unless you want it permanently dusty anyway.

LEAVE NO TRACE....think about that in everything you do, whether it is garbage, to misc. moop, or accessories and clothing. The Playa will thank you in many many ways.

Ourania, since this is your first year, you have yet to know the profound love that most people develop for the Black Rock High Desert and Surroundings. I get really really pissed when i see people mis-treating her.

dont do it.

now back to the non sequiturs , bad puns, and awful buffoonery...

ourania · Post by **ourania** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 4:31 pm

Absotively. I second that. I actually had no intention of bringing anything feathered to the playa and I really am working on a headdress made of metal. The whole feather thing stemmed from your previous post about Native American dancing and Root Society annexing the Indian Matchmaking camp next door.
Don't worry, I'm totally committed to Leave NO Trace.

ah yes, i had almost forgot that, the Sioux Datin' Land.

i will put it on my czech-list.

ourania · Post by **ourania** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 4:51 pm

Actually, I'll get a trial run at it at the regional burn here near Toronto coming up in early August. There's a possibility it may be on my families land so I'll be able to go and get a taste before I'm actually on the playa. Does anyone from New York ever come up for regional Burns?

Simon of the Playa · Post by **Simon of the Playa** » Sat Jun 06, 2009 5:50 pm

possibly, we are only 3 hours away, but i have yet to get the proper bagging and tagging to make through customs...as you may know, new regs. at all crossings.

i suppose i should, but the whole rfid chip perm attached to my hip via my wallet sorta bothers me....alot.

if you send or post info i will pass on to local freakazoids and Fuck Monkeys.

Chances are in August i will completely manic and working 24 / 7 anyway, so probably not...There is quite a sizable outpost here in the ROC and i know a few consider toronto a second home anyway, because as much as we hate to admit it, it's just so much BETTER than here......

now i need a genesee cream ale to cheer me up.

ourania · Post by **ourania** » Sun Jun 07, 2009 5:30 pm

I tell you what Simon, I'll bring you some Canadian suds on the playa. 'Cause I hate to say it but, they're better. What's with the chip thing though? I've heard that the crazy Big Brother biometric chip thing was an option but surely it's not mandatory. I'm going down with just my passport. I assumed it was the same coming up from the States.

Do you notice how long it's taken anyone to post on this thread? I mean really, what do you say to that? I mean on the one hand, it seems like it should be kinda sexy but on the other hand, it's just way too clinical. Kinda like the gynecologist's office. Something about the neat rows and all white bedding. Great sex should be messy.
