The Bar

the regular site or the poster site? there are so many posters on the hall of truth poster site it is really slow to load and seems unstable.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 7:22 pm

It was just the main site. Got some good comments about the posters.

Is your group the one that’s sponsoring the Best temple project in Detroit?

Gosh thank Whoever from all us amateur propagandists

I think it's turning into a joint effort of all the locals. We're all one big happy family for the most part.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 7:31 pm

Cool possibilities, how do you think it will be received by locals?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 7:33 pm

I don't know. Can't say I'm all too thrilled with the concept personally. It's sorta trite. There is a piece downtown already that is made from car bumpers and quarter panels. When it was on the University campus it was a popular place for the bums to step inside of and take a piss.

I know what you mean,..

though it could work out to be something fantastic, if words could describe it there would be no need to make it.

I wonder if big splashy public art with associations to burning man will advertise burning man and put it under greater scrutiny and expand the event massively for 06

It possible. Who would have guessed 10 years ago that it would be as big as it is today. Yet, 40,000 people is still less than 1,000 from each state, on average. Lots of room there for growth. There must be many more people in each state who would fit in, but have yet to discover it. And, of course, there will always be those who drift away.

Another drink?

I don't think the infrastructure could support a gathering that was as big as something like Sturgis.

the recent jack Rabbit seemed to hint that the organizations focus might be turning to the regionals and away from the Black Rock event some time in the near future.... well that's how it seemed to me anyway.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 7:55 pm

Yeah, I've heard that too. Quite honestly I think that would be the death of the org, which some people would love to see. They would be spread thin trying to coordinate actions of disparate groups across the country. If there is a concern the event is too big, then limit ticket sales.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 8:04 pm

I agree, I don't think there is anyway most regional groups could put together an event to compare to the surrealistic other-worldliness or Burning Man. The idea that the ( movement ) is big enough to go forth and procreate and change the world I don't think will happen.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 8:08 pm

I think it's more interesting that the theme camps and villages form from people that are from all over, into groups and communities of interest. local and regional organization is a lot less inspiring some how.

I am now on a frustrating search for a photo online of the artwork I mentioned earlier...it must be out there somewhere on the web...why can't I find it!!!

More ice tea for me.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 8:10 pm

Me too please

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 8:17 pm

OK, you get the last of the batch I made up.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 8:27 pm

I'm taking off for the night Z. I have to be up all night tomorrow at work. Not fun.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Fri Jun 03, 2005 8:29 pm

I'm thinking about wandering off too,... you have a good night Sputnik,

*M wanders in........the Bar is silent. She puts some Kona into the coffee machine and turns it on. Sits around for a while waiting for it to brew. Takes a dry erase pen and writes a message on the board behind the Bar....."Hello, my friends! I hope you are all doing well and having a Great weekend!"
Gets sidetracked by an email from a friend to go deliver him some dirt for his garden. Mumbles something about returning later and heads out the door.*

Mmmm... coffee!!

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 3:40 pm

Hey folks, wish me well tonight, I'm pulling an all-nighter at work starting at 1am. This is going to be a long night.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 10:06 pm

All nighters... good Lord, I remember plenty of those. I used to both loath and love them in some strange way. Maybe I loved them because they were something different than the normal day-to-day. Maybe I loved them because they made me feel like I was the one that they depended on. Maybe I loved to loath the fact that they never really told me “thanks” for all the ones I pulled. Dunno... but either way, I’m right there with you sputnik... even if only in spirit.

Keep a pot of coffee or tea on and if the mind gets blurred, get up and walk around. Go outside and breath deep. Feel the life in your lungs. Then get back to work and feel productive... feel validated... feel like the underappreciated man-behind-the-scenes that you are.

(Raises a glass to sputnik's all night, hard-workin’, bringin’ home the bacon attitude.)

You rock!!!

Yeah, what he said,.. hang in there Sput

Hi Mr. Noir,.. How are you doing tonight?

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 10:21 pm

I’m good Z... how are you?

Actually I’m up too late since I’ve got to work a bit tomorrow, but what the hell. I’m drinking wine and thought this a good place to hang out.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 10:26 pm

I'm doing good,.. wonder how Blue, and the others are doing on the burner camping trip in Wisconsin.

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 10:33 pm

I bet they’re having fun. It’s beautiful and clear here. Don’t know about up yonder. My burner amigo is heading that way next week (he’s from that neck of the woods originally). Perhaps you guys could hook up if you’ve not much to do. PM me and I’ll provide info if you want.

It sure was a fun when I was there, but certainly short, wasn’t’ it? Barley John’s was quite nice though.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 10:37 pm

I'm not sure what next week looks like for me as far as Time goes, I might check with you later, about your friend.....

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 10:40 pm

Speaking of time I should be moving on. You have a good night,

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Sat Jun 04, 2005 10:44 pm

Goodnight Z... now worries about meeting up with anyone. Just a heads up. I’m sure he’s got lots on his plate as it is, too.

Hope your tomorrow is grand!!!
