Heya Sput.

What was it you had to say about Bugs?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 8:09 pm

Have you ever seen the web page that describes how to have a virtual burning man in your house? I read it many times before I ever went out and it just fueled my desire to go. My favorite line was the last one.

Have a 3 a.m. soul baring conversation with a drag nun in platforms, a crocodile, and Bugs Bunny. Be unable to tell if you're hallucinating. Lust after Bugs Bunny.

Your new avatar made me think of it. Thanks.

Ooo, excellent! And are you planning to follow the instructions?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 8:13 pm

I no longer need to. I have been and am going. Although I may still have that 3am conversation. Please plan on bringing a bugs bunny outfit so I may lust after you.

I'm not sure I can provide an entire outfit, but I'm pretty sure I could find some ears and a tail.

By 3am any night that'll probably do. Meet me at the Apokoliptika Kantina

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 8:21 pm

Will do (that is if I actually find a ticket first).

So how's it been going with you lately?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 8:24 pm

Pretty good. We have windmill building scheduled for tomorrow. I hope it doesn't rain. I've got a base done and need to work on the turret and blades tomorrow.

I really hope you can find a way to make it.

Hey kids, what's for drinks?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 8:28 pm

I'm on martini number two and don't thikn I'm going to make 3 like I thought. Want one?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 8:30 pm

I could go for a martini

How big are the windmills or is it windmill singular?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 8:32 pm

The current ones we're building are not full scale. Mine is true half scale and will be about 10 feet tall when done. The other two models that are being built are a bit taller, just because. We're building competing designs to see which is the easiest to build and still look like a dutch windmill. There will be 3 on the playa.

Well, it rained a little here today so you might want to beware. Sounds like fun though. I really need to get into something creative again.

And I hope I can make it as well, but with each passing day it seems less likely. Plus there's more and more friction happening living with the rent's so it looks like I'm going to have to scoot as soon as a find a full time job. (sarcastic) great, just great (sarcastic) Oh, and I forgot, my mom is insisting that I help pay for a vacation that I don't even want to go on. Blah!

Cool, competitive concept development is always the best way to come up with the best, It's just to bad you couldn't have come to a consensus without having to build the half scale models, seems like a lot of work and materials not going into the finished product .

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 8:37 pm

There is always next year. I waited 4 years before I was able to manage to go.

blueniteowl · Post by **blueniteowl** » Sat Apr 30, 2005 8:41 pm

oh yes, I will definatly be there in '06 if not '05.

Well boys, I think I'm going to wander awhile. Later.

I sortof agree, but 3 different people had different ideas. We're building out of scrap, so it isn't a waste. We're going to use the half size models at a fundraiser in June and burn them then.

Well I drank a "half pint of dark rum tonight, all by myself! don't know why everything must seem so surreal sometimes? The rum made me feel more centered! Headache left! Hope that these next few months pass relatively smoothly and quickly! smiles happy springtime everyone!

Whoa, I'm really lagging behind today.

Beer up for Joel

So, you've convinced your wife to come along. Why hasn't she wanted to come before? What convinced her?

we have only been married since last July... and no cash to go last year.
convinced her to go? begging, groveling, the usual married man methods.

and we haven't gotten there yet, so don't hold you breath.
