There are already two active threads about this, andrew. Scroll down a little or go to the one in the general discussion area, read through them, and then ask questions of us. We can be a lot more helpful if you give us specifics, but do it in the existing threads.

Might help if you post specifics rather than vague inquiries -- eg, let us know what you're building in as much detail as possible, and that you've browsed through the main Burning Man website, especially art installation section, and the Image Gallery, and you've contacted artists linked from those sites, and that you still have questions on specific issues.

Here's a hint to get you started, though:

Around early summer, Costco warehouses sell two-packs of solar spotlights. I believe they run about $70 per package, though that's a pretty good price: I've seen the same thing in catalogs going for $100 and up.

Hey Andrew . . . where are you from? With a middle name like Wainscott, I can make a guess: one of the 119XX Zip codes?

Funny thing about this board, you can post whatever kind of random nonsense that you want all over the place, e.g., the bar thread, Tancorix's cure, Kamp Kapok, etc... but heaven help you if you ask a question on a subject that is already being talked about elsewhere.

Ho ho ho

Now Bob, I can tell that you've been a naughty, naughty boy. Hop up on Santa's lap and tell him all about it.

Most of us are perfectly happy to help and answer questions, santa, but that doesn't mean there aren't some standards for etiquette on the board. And how is it rude to point him towards some existing resources?
