The Shroom: Black Rock City's Least Reliable Parody Paper

Post by TheShroom » Tue May 18, 2010 7:12 pm

No trip to the Playa would be complete without reading the latest edition of The Shroom!

Last year's expose on the Unicorn Flu was named by Larry Harvey as one of his Burning Man moments. Don't deprive yourselves this year of a valuable source of Playa news and information.

We're increasing our efforts to better serve the community this year. We now have a blog that we're keeping updated to keep you abreast of what has happened, what is happening, and as soon as we hire a psychic, what is going to happen!

We would love for you all to check us out and feel free to add us on Facebook to keep in the know.

We'll be coming out with a Lightning in a Bottle edition for the event in SoCal next week, but don't worry if you can't make it, the content will make it up on the blog shortly after we release the paper edition at the event.

Sorry for the triple post, but here's the bit about Larry Harvey so you don't think we're reporting falsely.

Journalistic integrity is our main concern...sort of.

– Harvey was asked if he had a favorite Burning Man “momentâ€

Any chance there will be a Weeney in a Bottle edition?

I could use a little advice on removal techniques.

Removal of said weeney from the interior of the bottle without actual removal of the weeney would be my preference.

maybe we could get a lady to smash the bottle against the hull of a steel ship?
