My Fave was the hair wash place!

Post by JediDale » Tue Sep 06, 2005 8:31 pm

Yeah, the massage at HeeBeeGeeBee Healers was fantastic, but by Wed.
I looked like some kind of blonde Rasta freak with dusty playa dreads!
The nice lady who did my hair took her time and was ever so sensual! Yeah, Baby!!

Genuinely,

Fav Camp

Post by Capt. Ahab » Wed Sep 07, 2005 4:30 am

While almost every camp I visited was great - I have to mention a few -

1. The DEEP END - you fuckers rocked - rocked and rocked some more - so generous great bar and great DJs

2. Whiskey and Hoars - kick ass

3. Porn and eggs - great porn and great eggs

There are several more that due to a severe case of Playa brain I cant recall the names of.

Thank you all for a wonderful burn - Capt. Ahab

My favorite camp was my own camp--hey, I can't help it, it was THE BEST. Anyone who stopped by the FIGMINT (of your imagination) coffeeshop knows we rocked. The latest estimate is that we gave away 1000 cups of coffee and tea. But the best part was all the people who hung out and schmoozed with us. If you want to be on our email list, PM me. We'll contact you a month before the next burn and let you know our new name and intended location.

Favorite theme camp

Post by Syntonia » Wed Sep 07, 2005 1:24 pm

Camp Stella was wonderful! Refreshing exotic teas, refreshing exotic (and exquisitely unavailable) men with little on, big warm hugs and free bejeweling to any woman burnt out on hungry testosterone but desireous of that lovely male energy. Yummmmm!

Well...they weren't really a theme camp but our across the street neighbors were AWESOME. Besides being cute as hell, they gave away lil' ice cream sandwiches (strawberry cheeze cake ice cream sandwiches) AND they kept coming over to our camp and saying things like, "We made a bunch of food and everybody is full..." handing over wonderful plates of tortellini and fresh veggie pan fry. Thank you!

Let's just say Robotronia ate our weight in ice cream bars, that much is for sure my friends. Thank you again cute ice cream people! I hope our Judas Priest mix didn't upset your energy patterns too much on that fine afternoon.

Lazy Ass Fuckers, 8:30 and Bipolar. Plenty of chairs and sofas under shade structures for chilling, lots of paints for painting on canvas or post cards or body parts, lots I mean lots of good good yummy grilled tuna and steak and ribs and crab, lolli-pops, cold beer, flavored snow cones, psychic testing, margaritas, and the coolest medallions gifted on the playa. Come in, sit down be a lazy ass and leave more loved than when you arrived. Ok, I'm biased. I'm a LAFer.

One of my favorites was Audrey's Brain Wash and Set at 7:30 and Ego. Great massages, facials and footbaths. And they welcomed the ladies as well as the men. Thanks guys!!!!!!!!!!

The Golden Cafe, preceded by my own cozy little camp. I'm a nester, so if I have a nice little nest I'm happy as can be.

Ill have to give credit to my camp, Pizza Smut, but mainly due to the fact that there were only 9 of us and 5 virgins, so i was there a lot and didnt get a chance to go out a lot to other theme camps, but this burn was still better than my last!

I had a great couple nights at Friends and Family. I really enjoyed the Deep End. But my favorite is still a camp I am not quite sure the name of- it has the 3 armed LED hypno wheel. Hours I tell you. Hours....

1) Barbie Death Camp & Wine Bistro ["The Biggest Little Theme Camp on the Playa"]

2) Apoloitika (spelling) 3:00 and Amnesia. But their women fall asleep instead of ****ing you.

3) Smite Camp (part of Wheee!Ville). If you visited it, enough said.

Thanks, Pyro, for your vote on Apokiliptika. I've alerted the ladies of the Interrogation Squad and they intend to make you weep quietly as you pick up your teeth with broken fingers in 2006.

My favorite hang 2nd year in a row was right accross the street at Club Verboten. That tent really transports you to whatever the music theme is doing and it jibed so well with our despotic neo Stallinist chic theme.

Lessee...

Ours, of course. We kick butt.

Verboten. Awesome people. Awesome music.

Martini. and Hooka. Love them people. The decor and the hospitality brought back some awesome memories...

BDC&WB. No place better. Best gig going. Sorry about the ****ed-up expectations, tho... ain't been that ripped in over 20 years. No wonder I was dead the next day, with a headache for 2 more thereafter. Felt like going back into recovery, almost...

AMLN. And the Cirque. Yeah. The Roller disco was a total blast...

Thing is there are so many things to do in town. SO many places to see. So many people to visit. SO much trouble to get into. And I only barely scratched the... um... surface. >>grins<<

Б. Б.





Hell... too many camps were too good. Even the Craps table next door was fun. >>grins<<

The Vortex has to be my favourite = what wild place. Who else experienced it? Was quite unaware what I was in for when a group of us went in there..
