oh, I experienced the cold nights last year, Z. I'll be prepared this year. If there was one mistake I made last year, it was not preparing for the cold of the evenings.

Hear that m??? it gets fucking COLD at night in the desert!

COLD?!
I'm building a dome and bringing an airbed and lots and lots of blankets and sleeping bags to crawl under!

Looks like I'll be with Apociliptica so the post apocalyptic neo-military look will be in this year

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:18 pm

I've got nothing in the form of costumes.....although the whole Kamp Apokiliptika idea intrigued me.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:19 pm

Hey Z....that's what I was thinking too! I've got military clothing and I rather like the Tank Girl idea.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:21 pm

Uh, how cold did it get? How did you all stay warm?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:23 pm

I'm still trying to decide if since I'm signed up with a camp I could really work out a fly into Reno get a ride trip, I hate not having my own transpiration but I'm looking for cheep alternatives I sure loved having my trailer there last year.

Great pan handling line Purple

Heh. I'm generally more blatant than that when I beg. (When I went to buy my custom corset [as seen in a recent avatar], I posted to my journal and noted that if everyone who was listed as reading me sent me $2, I could pay for it outright. I wound up with almost enough in my PayPal account for the downpayment.)

What's really sad is that I'm capable of being that utterly shameless for something frivolous like that - and yet when it comes to basic needs, I have trouble accepting loans from people ('cause I don't know if/when I'll be able to repay them) and still more trouble accepting gifts. Even something as basic as when Geekster offered to buy me dinner at karaoke the last time I was there.

I don't know how people fly out there with all their stuff.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:31 pm

the more I think about it it does seem really hard,.. having a shorter trip was appealing with less travel time and at around $350 something for the flight it would be cheaper than driving alone but then there is all the stuff I'd need to get in Reno and the fact that I've gotten used to and enjoy my comfort.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:34 pm

I know the drive will be like 30 hours......blah! I was even thinking about stopping in different places to look around. Alone is kind of a drag and scary.

OK, someone told me there's a drink in here for me that's been on the bar for a while. Sorry! I had no idea.

A round for everyone, on me.

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:36 pm

I'm the same way, Purple... well, with everything, really. I just have a really hard time accepting donations, from anyone.

but, now that I'm unemployed (well, at the end of the month), I guess I'm going to have to get over that...

Welcome, ActionGrl!

Promise. I actually have a friend who has started making her own yarn falls, which (pending funds for supplies) I might actually try myself - it's bound to be easier and cheaper than dying this mop again.

AG: i gotcher drink... anything specific you'd like? (I threw that one from behind the bar out a long time ago... it sprouted legs)

and M: if you want, My mom and a friend are driving down together, I could maybe get you in touch with them... I'm sure they'd love an extra driver and some company!

purple: if you're willing, I'd LOVE to know how to do it.... (yarn falls)

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:42 pm

not at all Z... I just thought that you had decided not to go...

are you coming, after all???

I would gladly set you all up with me madre... she's the sweetest ever, and, as a newbie, would love some help, I'm sure. (she's travelling right now with another newbie, Erik....... oddly enough, an old boyfriend of mine, from the 9th grade)

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:44 pm

Guin, I appreciate that.
I'm bringing a ton of stuff with...glad I have a pickup with a topper on it! I'm going to stop whenever I need to and sleep and look around at stuff. I decided that since I'm turning the big 40 that it's my present to myself to go.
30 degrees! AAIIEE!! How do you stay out at night and keep warm? Bundle up like a yeti?

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:45 pm

We have to find a way for Blue to go to.
I shouldn't say we....but I'd like to help her.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:46 pm

It's all still up in the air for me GE I have been off work so long, but I have my ticket and if there is anyway to swing it I'm going,..

Just kidding about going with your Mom,..

GuinivereElise · Post by **GuinivereElise** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:46 pm

I'll PM you with some details about me madre...

as far as 30 degree nights: I didn't expect it at all... I froze. I had a thermal underwear shirt from a new friend, and some faux fur pants that I made, but really, I was damned cold, and damned uncomfortable. BRING WARM CLOTHES. seriously. PLUS my SO and I got in an argument about it.... it's just not worth it!!! Bring some costume stuff that's warm and cozy. Yeti. yes. Fur boots, some layers, think antartica. You can always remove layers....

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:49 pm

Going to be hard to ride a bike when you're wearing a snowmobile suit!
AH HAHAHA!!!

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:50 pm

If I had a dependable truck, and brought the trailer again we could all go in that, with plenty of room for our stuff,... after last years experience I wouldn't want others depending on me for transportation.

Martiansky · Post by **Martiansky** » Sun Feb 13, 2005 4:52 pm

I'm actually thinking about buying a different truck. I only have a little 4 banger with no AC but it's all paid for so I'll probably just get it tuned up and ready to roll.
