yech. i hate barter bars. i understand why people do them, but i hate them.
however, i wouldn't mind, let's say, an initiation process of some sort... on the way to the bar...
if we do the 'get a clue' bowl, i'd like to find some way to make them less likely to become moop. laminate and buy clips in bulk? have people put them back after? i don't know. will think more on this. but it seems like, although it's a fabulous idea, it's rather moop-able.

The "Get a Clue" initiation could work. This could just be a circle of couches with a table to put yer feet up onto. We hang out there smothering the poor slob who happend to wander in with old-timers yammerings, newbie interogation, and necking displays.
Can't forget the necking part.
At the end, the participant, if he/she can still walk upright, gets a necklace, laminate, or if they are interested in potties, a scarf. I'm recruiting for shwag-makers right now. PM for details.
I'll volunteer for kitchen duties as needed. I'm a dandy barback too.

Pick a mission
on the topic of a "clue bowl" - I've been thinking about making a "mission" bowl on similar lines - seems like road trips where I've had a silly little project like "rate as many donut shops as possible between LA and portland for their cinnamon rolls and apple fritters" just are more memorable. Maybe I'm just a freak. But you could give people a container of missions to choose (blindfolded) from, like "kiss everyone named george you can find*" or "see how many camps you can stand on your head in" or whatever random stuff I can think of. If you pick a mission, you commit to getting it done. Post a notebook for people to record their missions and results. Missions shouldn't involve sex, illegal drugs, or violence.

And about a whipping post... shit , is that all you got? Those things are on every corner... there has to be something at least exponentially more creative... I have faith... keep thinking.

after another several months of this, we should all know exactly what will amuse rob.
the people have to 'amuse rob' in absentia before they can get near the inner sanctum of the bar. not that it's a requirement for drinking - it's a matter of admittance, of worthiness. it's a fine line, but i think it's ok...
also, camp mates should be required to give and receive at least one hickey per day, in keeping with the necking codes. We'll write it up in the E.M.C.: the eplaya municipal code. which should be posted boldly.

Why? I understand it's a common reaction. But I found that by asking people to do something, it got people involved in a different way. I ran the Gender Blender Bar. To get a drink, you had to "do something" with gender. Some people got it right away, others it took a while. We had a costume tent and Big Wall Bondage Barbie with a change to vote on whether she was consigned to the E-Z Bake. She lived to climb another day. The change in body language, posture and tone among the guys who came out of the costume tent in something "special" was very enchanting and funny. So that was a barter, all we wanted was some energy or effort and the booze flowed freely. It was open about 3 nights and we drank about $700 worth of booze. Big fun!Rian Jackson wrote:yech. i hate barter bars. i understand why people do them, but i hate them.

Speaking of which. . .
I'm working on a very dissapointing salad myself. This is San Francisco, Specialty Bakery and Coffee Shop, mixed greens doesn't mean Iceberg and Romaine.
And I paid $3 and didn't want to spend my lunch hour pulling olives off my food.
BLEEEEECH!!!!!!
