The Bar 2014 Edition

[AntiM]

Wow! So much going on! I am a bit envious. Larry was home, we were supposed to go to the Element 11 volunteer gathering, but his schedule is just too tight for us to run down to Salt Lake when he is only home for a day and a half. The trouble with owning a home with a nice yard is there is always work to be done. The shed had carpenter ants moving in, and that had to be addressed ASAP. Ugh.

Ratty, ah yes, the doing. Perfect!

So, who is going to be Sheik Yerbutie this year?

...
I had a fun day today. Decided to visit the Generator in Reno, Nv. and ended up working 4 hours on the embrace2014 artwork.
The embrace artwork is going to be huge, and is going to look awesome on the playa.

A great way to spend time fernley1. From the concept images I've seen, it will be remarkable! Are they planning on burning it?

..and Woohoo! for Elorrum and MDF's great adventure!

I spent most of the weekend outdoors, which is the way I prefer, especially when the weather is nice like it's been. Still cutting dead trees, and formulating where to plant new ones, taking into consideration the path of the sun among remaining trees as well as how I imagine wanting to interact in the space, future bonfire location, seclusion from the hustle and bustle.. sort of a landscape architecture project.

Hopefully all of you had a great weekend. Makers Faire sounds great! Any pictures?

..and congratulations Sadie!

Well, another weekend drawing to a close..
Goodnight all!

*hops into NEB*

From what I've heard, no they don't plan on burning Embrace.

Morning Joelin and any lurkers out there. Had a great meet up yesterday at Muir Woods with Fishy, Elorrum, MDF and ASD MDF made us a picnic lunch before we walked into that wonderful and amazing stand of Redwoods, Really a good visit with plenty of hugs. Elliot and YG, you are in for a treat! Have a good Monday, kiddies

Yah, I am a Jerk... Lurking in the shadows of the ether.

The 4 month contract I was working last year (which kept me from the burn) has turned into a full-time job, with all the things... Yay, I have vacation time for the burn.

It was an insane winter. My sweetheart from California came up and stayed for her first Canadian winter. All I can say is that I must have done something right, not only did she stay, but she liked being here.

Unfortunately, she has not secured a working visa yet - so she had to go back to CA for the summer. Not the farthest we have been apart, but it still sucks. She will not be back up here till after Playa cleanup is done - sometime in late September or early Oct. At least this year I get to spend a bit of time on the Playa. Not sure how much, but anything long enough to get dusty is good enough for me

What is new and exciting??

[trilobyte]

Hooray and congrats on the job, Rice! Congrats on the sweetheart front too, though boo for having to go through visa issues.

Things around here are in their usual seasonal progression. Friday marked 100 days until the gates opened, so now people will probably start transitioning from casual to frantic planning and building modes

I echo Trilo on the congrats on both the employment and romantic departments. I also agree on the frantic planning. I'll be doing that until departure. Plan early.

[AntiM]

I must do something useful today.

[Captain Goddammit]

Must you?

[ygmir]

Hi gang!
no tap dancing today, AntiM!!

so, MDF, Elorrum, and I are meeting 420 in Reno tomorrow. Anyone in or near Reno that wants to join us?
Late lunch type thing, I'd say.

Good day to get some projects done.

Pick me up on the way through Utah, please?

[Captain Goddammit]

I'm gonna need an airplane!

[Elliot]

I should probably start cleaning the house -- MDF and Elorrum should be here in three hours or so. Actually, we are going out to lunch, so no house cleaning required.
After lunch I'll send them on to Ygmir.

[Captain Goddammit]

They'd probably rather just hang out in the dusty bus anyway.

[magicmarty]

Give them a hug for me, Elliot

[Bin Noddin]

and another for me
* CLINK! * CHEERS!

[nilasnake]

yggy...i'll meet up with y'all. where and when? if you have lunch at 'big ed's' that's on 4th not far from the morris. and make sure you folks tour the morris burner hotel and the generator. big stuff happening in reno.

[ygmir]

Hi Bin!!!!
Hi Nila!!
so, yeah, Piney suggested "Hometown cafe" up near her for lunch. But anywhere is fine.
we'll be calling Jonsi when on our way, and decide I guess? any thoughts?

we're hoping to get to the Morris and Generator.........it'll just depend on time. We want to get back over Donner summit before dark, so as to see the sights!!

[*Kat*]

I really should be working on my lecture for Thursday. It's a great topic too. And I've already done some work... I just wish I was not such a pro at procrastinating. I'll probably end up working half of the night again, as usual, wishing I had just gotten it done earlier.

Damn you, Internet!

[Joeln]

*unable to resist urge to procrastinate*

Who was it who called it procrasturbation?
