I'm an Englishman in Black Rock...

Me and a friend are BM virgins coming over from the UK. It seems like preparing for the festival is an absolute mission if you're US based - if you're coming from 5 thousand miles across the ocean that mission seems squared. Are there any sympathetic souls out there who would consider letting a couple of Limeys use their party as a starting point? i.e. lifts, sharing of water and food, and providing advice, etc. Of course, we'd chip in for the extra expense! And we'd talk in comedy cockney accents on demand. Hell, we'll even sing the national anthem and toast the queen if you'd like. We'd probably be arriving in San Francisco a week before the event kicks off, so people leaving from the Bay area would be ideal. And of course we'd be on hand to run errands and generally share the burden.

Hope someone can help!

Great, just what we need... More limey bastards who drink the place dry and chase all the men...

Seriously though, welcome to the nightmare. Be sure to post your request for a ride in the SHARE section. It should start to heat up there in the weeks just before the Burn (Hey, that's now, isn't it?). Add a post occasionally to keep your request at the top of the list.

And do a search for any of HAGEMON's posts, and maybe consider contacting him. HAGEMON, HAGEYMON, I can't remember. But, he runs a semi-unofficial Burner's Hostel out of his house in Reno, and he's responsible for bringing more goddamned foreigners to BM than goddamned United Airlines. Do another search on hostel.

To find a group to travel and camp with may be a stretch. Or it might not. Worst case scenario: You end up in walk-in camping next to me. And if that happens, keep your limey mitts off my goddamned beer, and you better fucking share your weak-assed- Euro-bud.

Sincerely,

Sensei

Hagey and the International Black Rock Hostel can be reached at:

And just a word of warning. I just contacted Hagey about a week ago for the first time and he appears to be just a bit stressed from what I can tell. He said that the Hostel had 500 people last year and he is looking at 1,000 people this year so far. He appers to be a victim of his own success. He is a really cool guy so contact him. I just hope he does not put a contract out for me for adding to his burden.

Sorry, you homophobic Limey- read the Survival Guide.

throwing Queens into the fire is against the rules and really pisses off the Gay community of Black Rock City!

Brain dead acting presidents are exempt and feel free to toast in a puppet prime minister if you so like.

A II Z, he meant the Queen of England. I wasn't sure with that last post if you knew what he meant...it left me....confused. Worse than normal that is.

Ha! OK, I'll lay off the gays. But I like the idea of a regular ol' Head of State BBQ. I reckon the Lone Star State should be able to come up with a special sauce that would taste just dandy on Dubya. The Queen would have to be stewed in tea for a few days before her roasting. She's a tough bird. But Tony Blair's so oily he'd baste himself.

But hold on, us Brits have chucked two leaders into the mix. The US of A is only fronting one at the mo'. And you're bigger than us. Pull your weight. Who else can you suggest?

May I be so bold as to offer up Arnie, and Rumsfeld. Condoleeza Rice annoys me, too.

Dont worry, I don't think I have read one post from Apollonaris Zeus without being confused. I think he digs it.

Our "leaders" are too busy with this Thunderdome conflict.

OK, then

How about a Dick Cheney Pig Roast pit. Stuffed with Haliburton's Afghani vegetarian parachuted meals. Served over Abruzzi- Condoleeza- Rice, sauted with Ala'Arnie flambed in RUMSfeld.

Served with a fine italian Barolo wine!

Youre great sense of humor will be a plus on the playa.

Have a safe trip. C/O Homeland Security(tm)

Cooking Wolfowitz might be okay, but I don't think I would dare eat him-- I think he has Mad Cow Disease!

(Or is that Mad Elephant Disease?)

Paul Wolfowitz's son was my college roommate. And he's a goddamn hippie. Ironic, eh?
