Hey Sputnik, we need to get together on the playa again sometime. We first met out at your pixel project in 2005. My (ex)husband thought I was nuts bringing that wooden sign! Time has given us the truth about him.

Deb, yes that would be good. Seems so unlikely that I'll make it next year, but that is what I said last year at this time. Worst case I should take a trip to see you now that I can travel to Canadia again.

PM, 2006 was megapixels (first and only year for that). 2005 we did the Quixotic Windmill project.

Flicks are great. Workshops too.

You might be right about it being 2006, I can't seem to remember exactly. Nonetheless that's when I met Sputnik.

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 10:16 am

Oh yeah, I loved the Quixotic Windmills. That was my first art review for the Black Rock Beacon. But I think I interviewed someone named Eric (?) for that project.

Yeah, you're welcome to Canada anytime, Sputnik. Wait til I get back there though. I'll be home this weekend for Canadian Thanksgiving. Yay for long weekends.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 10:24 am

Yeah, Eric was one of the main faces of the project. I'll give you a hollar when I'm thinking about heading up your way.

You were banned from canadia?

Deb Prothero · Post by **Deb Prothero** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 10:45 am

No, gyre, I don't think Sputnik was ever banned, it's just that Homeland Security now requires Americans to either have a passport or an enhanced drivers license in order to return to the US after a visit to Canada. Sputnik just got his enhanced drivers license so he can visit Canada and the American border guards will allow him to return home.

As of June 1, 2009, American citizens were required to have this additional ID. A majority of Canadians carry passports but it seems that for a majority of Americans this is unusual.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 11:00 am

Nope, never banned. I just would have had a bit of a rough time getting home. Hey! Time for a drink!

gyre · Post by **gyre** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 11:23 am

Enhanced?

Why/
Do you look canadian?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 11:34 am

You'd have to ask a Canadian that.

Lookie what I just found

I can see my camp and I think my bike even.

What's enhanced about the license?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 12:19 pm

They asked me a couple of extra questions at the Secretary of State office to prove I was who I claimed to be and checked against my birth certificate. The license itself has some extra 'security' features on it and extra fancy barcodes on the back. Oh...and it has one of those protector sleeves to keep the mag strip from wearing off.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 12:57 pm

Woah...check out the crazy net-like pattern just south of the middle of the north fence line. Any ideas as to what it is?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 5:44 pm

Hi! Just me again. Screwdrivers tonight...with ORANGE vodka.

Elorrum · Post by **Elorrum** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 5:49 pm

the gigapan is fantastic! my shade shelter finally is visible. Thanks for the pie and beer ygmir. Inventory is over again. S.F. decom this weekend. Week is ending up nicely. Anybody up for some bar shuffleboard?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 5:55 pm

Love that game Elorrum!

Excellent resolution in some areas of the city, eh?

sputnik, did you work on Quixotic Windmill? and was it the one that looked like this? (pattern on screen...i think it is..call it intuition)

[youtube][/youtube]

i thought that was one of the most beautiful pieces i had ever seen.

very nice work indeed.

Simon of the Playa · Post by **Simon of the Playa** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 6:06 pm

nevermind...i just looked it up...wrong windmill...

that was pretty cool too....i do remember that as well....also very nice work.

ain't burning stuff grand?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 6:08 pm

I did work on the Quixotic Project, but they were three dutch style windmills. Let me find something...

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 6:09 pm

Yeah, that was fabulous. Here's a vid of the burn for those interested

littleflower · Post by **littleflower** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 6:44 pm

mmmm ... screwdrivers ....

that gigapan was taken either late afternoon friday, or saturday ... after i left ...

very cool, though.

shuffleboard?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 6:54 pm

Looks good Littleflower. We thought it was Saturday morning because of a car in our camp that wasn't part of our camp.

littleflower · Post by **littleflower** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 7:07 pm

i hope you make it out there next year, sputnik ... it was nice to meet you and ride on your volcano ...

but then, next year is still so far away!

have another screwdriver ...

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Thu Oct 08, 2009 7:11 pm

Another screwdriver is totally needed. Thanks.

Next year, it's less than a year away! OMG, it seems so far, but before we know it tickets will go on sale, then there will be the wait for airline tickets to go on sale...it's practically here already!

And it was nice meeting you, though I suspect that by next year it'll be tough to pick you out of a lineup. I've finally gotten Risky down, but only because she's got her face in her icon. I am notoriously bad with putting names to faces.

pinemom · Post by **pinemom** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 5:18 am

ahhh yes...fall is here...the days of sleeping past 430am...long gone...
hahaaaahahaaa

I still dont know why I wake up so damn early in the fall?

I need to clean up the dump piles in the workshop so when I do wake up...perhaps pump out some more fun stuff for costumage.

I finally got my Halloween inspiration...It took me going over to Oneeyeddicks to check out his SKULL COLLECTION....
collection...hmm...poor choice of words...Skull museum!

So were gonna do a Bone Yard this year here at Lemmongrad.
Normally we would go do the Nv day parade, but this year...Abraham Lincoln?

Just doesn't give me that Oh Yay.Im so excited ...feeling.

ok Im up first so that means I make coffee....

Simon of the Playa · Post by **Simon of the Playa** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 6:56 am

i had a feeling one-eye had a thing for skull-fucking.

Post by **AntiM** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 7:02 am

MyLarry will drag out the Halloween box soon. The Buckys may come upstairs, although Mr. Bucky needs hip replacement surgery. I'm not feeling it yet either. And since I've been off the Tamoxifen, my sleep patterns are completely whacked. I was up until two in the morning, playing spider solitaire and listening to music. I never do that!

Post by **AntiM** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 7:04 am

My entertainment center is covered with an assortment of decorative skulls, and I have some small nicely carved stone ones. Skulls are cool, neh?

ygmir · Post by **ygmir** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 7:06 am

thanks for the coffee, PM..........
Simon,
you gotta figure, there's not much outside OED's realm of normal............

hahahaaa

he is a prince of a fellow, though, that "monocular appendage"...........

pinemom · Post by **pinemom** » Fri Oct 09, 2009 8:19 am

Hey AntiM we musta been slappin in the hallway...you going down me popping up...
hot flashes suck.

I used to do full on 25 people + Halloween productions...BM(before man)
Now It seems Im still exhausted by the time its set making time.

This year though, Im thinking a shabby Cemetery with GIANT over sized Tombstones, and stacks of skulls...Maybe even a tree net trap full of bones swinging in the breeze....?
OEDick wants me to bring back the Pirate ship again....?
I did love the ship!
It was so fun to play on all night!!!
