"what don't you get about "contagious"? Both, create more by biting............"

yggy, I'm immune. For the vampires, I'm not appetizing because of my garlic intake. I was at camp Rue Morgue in '08 and '09, and I'm still unaffected. Garlic is good for you.

Plus, I know the zombie secret. Voodoo witch doctors in the Caribbean create them using a variant of tetrodotoxin, and you can usually fight that off if you use an epipen quickly enough...it's like nerve gas in that epinephrine is the antidote. Or so I hear.

I'm more worried about if the Frogbat will show this year.

But are you immune to yawn contagion?

I signed up to bring food (not sure what, but something vegetarian) and bounce.

Missed it my first 2 years due to the CORE burn. I'm so looking forward to finally meeting everyone in person.

Thanks for that. (...yawn..)

I'm bringing booze... We all need booze at a party and I might sign up for food too..... But what kinda food..... like chips and dips??

FIGJAM · Post by **FIGJAM** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 4:41 pm

Steak, ribs, teriyaki chicken breasts, cold cuts, cheeses, French fries.

All these and more have I seen at the M&G!!!

I'm thinking real hard on whether or not to bring BACON-BOURBON JAM!

It caused a riot at the Interranger station at Midwest Burners' precom a couple of years ago. They went through two whole 16 oz. jars in a matter of minutes. Yum, yum.

I brought some real nice cheese (cubed).. It was gone in a flash along with the bowel.. I think the wine table discovered it..

Drawingablank · Post by **Drawingablank** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 6:23 pm

As mentioned above, all sorts of food is appropriate. It is not even necessary to sign up for it, but that helps others plan for more variety.

In addition to the things Figjam and Unjon mentioned, we've had ice cream, snow cones, ice pops made from flash frozen mixed drinks, frozen grapes, ribs, freshly baked cookies still warm from the oven, as well as chips and dips, salads, fruit, plus lots more stuff I don't remember.

Last year we had quite a spread of food and at least 30 or 40 assorted bottles of booze.

Hopefully we will see the return of the snow cones this year if we can get some volunteers to take turns on the ice shaver. It is rather tiring for only one person, so I think that is why it was not at the 2013 M&G.

Thanks to all that have signed up so far. Things are shaping up well, however we will definitely need more bouncers / door people since we can't ask anyone to spend the whole night doing that. It actually is a fun spot since you get to meet everyone attending and won't miss anyone.

Signed up for a bouncer spot.
Be nice to meet some of you folks.

I can bounce for a while. But I'm too computer-clueless to sign up on the spread sheet, so just grab me and put me to work.

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 8:20 pm

We've had wild boar bacon...

ranger magnum · Post by **ranger magnum** » Sat Mar 15, 2014 9:15 pm

I signed up as a bouncer as well.

I use my real-life nick as my playa name. Seems like that's how everyone remembers me.

Ok, I just signed up for booze and bouncers.

Or was it bouncing boozers....?

lulu_Mou · Post by **lulu_Mou** » Sun Mar 16, 2014 2:48 am

Cool! I'll start thinking of lots of lovely and interesting things to eat! Yay!!

Also.... Hmmmm.... did I miss something.... Where is the m&g held? or is that determined at a later date...???

It will be held at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Gerlach.

....but seriously folks, it's at the Barbie Death Camp and Wine Bistro.

Cheers for that sham

I can't wait!

Tazz · Post by **Tazz** » Mon Apr 14, 2014 6:39 pm

Had such a great time at the M&G last year I am definitely returning. I brought hot-off-the-BBQ home made sausages and they were gone in about 10 minutes. I will at least double the quantity this year. Hoping to get a taste of Doc Pyro's great absinthe again!!

I wouldn't drink Doc's piss water but those sausages were great..

HA! Well that helps too!

All signed up fer da fistevities beyond da vestibule. I

will be bringing smoked salmon, assorted smoked cheeses and some rot gut hooch from a lil jewelry store south of the border. This fine beverage and food pairing is only justifiable on the playa.

kowtow · Post by **kowtow** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 6:12 pm

How have the preparations gone? Is there anything else needed that has been overlooked?

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 7:31 pm

Wild boar bacon.
Can't have a meet and greet without it.

kowtow · Post by **kowtow** » Mon Jun 02, 2014 8:53 pm

Mmmmm and black bear pepperoni and sausage.....

The wild bore wont be on the playa this year.. goddammit..

Drawingablank · Post by **Drawingablank** » Tue Jun 03, 2014 11:27 am

Have been working on some hand printed swag for the M & G. No two are exactly alike, and I will have a limited supply so try to arrive early if you want one.

These can also double as post cards if desired.

For those who don't know already - stuff mailed at the BRCPO gets a Black Rock City postmark which is an interesting memento if you are into that sort of thing. I do suggest bringing stamps though.

The swag is kick ass. I really like the originality, but then again i'm no Picasso, so wtf do I know. Regardless if there is anything more I can do to help out I will. I owe a fuckin' lot to everyone on eplaya, so if I can do anything to make a difference I really want to offer it up.

Word of advice, you may not want me at the door, being a bouncer. I tend to always have a BAC above .10, so judgement and impairment seem to be at opposite ends of the distribution of "normal." I'm sure I would allow any and all aliens free access.
