Thank you Comrade Lonesomebri for the gifts of the patch and the plethora of related party propaganda. I'm wearing the shirt now and it is my new favorite!!! You know you are welcome At BRC Welding & Repair anytime and I would like to extend a welcome invite to all BRCCP to come by and get a repair done if needed or hang out in the shade or next to one of the warming stoves that will be warming good communist souls and hot dogs nightly.

What sort of welding do you do motskyroonmatick? I'm hoping to do this intro to welding class to see if it's something I'd like to do more of and pick a type. Does your camp have welded art on display?

Yes Simon!!! The joy of making, fixing and good Comrades!!!

MDF! Do come by. Be sure to introduce yourself thoroughly. Sometimes I am frazzled on playa due to sleep dep and fixing many things and so it takes a thorough introduction to get my recognition to click in. I look forward to meeting you. :D

Jovankat, I can weld Torch, Stick, Mig and Tig. I use Mig on Playa because it is a cleaner process but I used to bring out my Sick/Tig setup. The class you linked seems like a good fit for an introduction. Mig is so easy to do that I recommend learning Torch and Stick welding first to get some fundamentals down so that one has a good understanding of the welding process.
I will have 2 or 3 custom made warming stoves at camp and they are my form of artwork. Stop by and I will show them off to you and we can talk welding.

Maybe this will be the impetus for a populist uprising and the start of getting things fixed in this country. Maybe they should team up with Occupy. Lots of maybes, but one can always hope.

We are the BLACK ROCK CITY COMMUNIST PARTY

what the world does, is what the world does...However it usually follows our lead, as the citizens of BRC tend to be somewhat ahead of the curve.


and,



there is but one playa, and it belongs to all of us, and none of us.


respect the playa.




or else.


that is the message of the BRCCP.

that, and STOP BEING FANCY or if you are going to be Fancy, make sure you bring enough fancy to share with EVERYONE. and don't ask me to pay for your hookers & blow, or your VIP party barge, or drag along your corporate detritus with you as you leave it like moop, on our community.

also,

the size of your wallet and the size of your camp or the size of your speakers on your art car do not mean shit.


maybe they do in defaultia, but not in Black Rock.

you want the Playa's Respect?

you gotta earn it.



you cannot purchase it, you cannot bribe it, you cannot buy it, you cannot even put a price on it.

it is Unobtanium, even with a platinum card, because we don't accept Visa or Mastercharge.

only "Discover". :twisted:

Simon, you said it in a post I agree with 100% and more.

There can BE only one playa. It belongs to ALL of us and NONE of us. The playa does not give respect, though the playa slowly relinquishes its secrets to those who GIVE A DAMN. Those who GIVE A DAMN, discover the truth.

Does it work for the betterment of the community?

Can we share it?

Can we learn to be diverse and tolerant again?

WE MUST.

But Plug n Play camps have no clue on sharing, diversity, and definitely not the betterment of the community. They are the new Drainbows. The drain on the community, the drain on the camp, the drain on my patience. And it's wearin' kinda thin right now. If one could buy the festival, It must be someone who gives it back to the people.

http://www.bigimagination.org/

I noticed that the website promoting the 747 is still up and running..... How is that going? Is the 747 coming to the playa this year, or is the "Big Imagination" just that?
The website offers no updates other than to claim the 747 is going to be on the playa in 2015. What do you want to bet? I will bet you a ride on the Queen Mary.

And I tried to find out if Ron Conway, the man helping rent out SF http://pando.com/2015/05/10/while-airbn ... f-sharing/, is in anyway related to the Chipster, the guy helping rent out BRC. Same m.o., do-gooders doing very good for themselves and not so well for their lessers, both are self-made success stories..... Though what a coincidence if they are related, almost as if it was all handed to them both. Trying to see if they are related was interesting. No mention of where either came from, parents? Who knows? That might betray the narrative of self-made success at a young age. I can find a "Bio" on-line, but both these cats apparently started life in their 20s because there is no mention of childhood or early life breaks mentioned for either. What kind of bio makes no mention of childhood, family or ancestry? Tech people..... with that little soul no wonder EDM speaks to them.

my problem with these people is the incessant drive to make more money.

how much is enough? Huh?

when do you have enough fucking money?

why do you have to keep monetizing shit?

you can dress it up in patchouli, but quite frankly, it's greed, and it's infested silicon valley and san francisco.

they are no better than Mike Milken and the Wall Street Rapists.

you cannot serve both G^d and Mammon.
