I want to complain......

Miss Nev hit on one of my gripes about the Esplanade...imho if it's not interactive it has no business being up there. Stick the rest of the people one road back...regardless of prior history, who they know, or whatever.

Lots of large roped-off areas that never got used all week

They seem to be just taking up space. No interaction whatsoever. What did Space Cowboys do??? Do people just register as a theme camp to get in early??? Don't they have to be even somewhat interactive?

Yeah... you are right. we offer nothing.

We had a bunch of space to put our 'things'... and hey.. most of our 'things' move around, so chances are if our camp is empty, our 'things' are out and about doing 'stuff'. Some of our 'things' are quite large and you really wouldnt want them driving around the city streets in order to get out to the open playa...

not to mention we have been contributing to other people's/camp's experiences since '96.

have a nice day.

So just because your stuff moves around you are entitled to prime real estate on the Esplanade? How about being placed one street back maybe along one of the plazas to allow easy access to the center area yet keep the Esplanade for the fully interactive camps? I'm thinking of Pangaea as an example of a very good camp for the Esplanade...it didn't leave a big void in the energy level like other camps did.

playasnake · Post by **playasnake** » Tue Sep 27, 2005 12:48 pm

Entitled? We didnt ask for it. They put us there for a reason, and its their festival. We work our asses off out there, this year in particular, and very often on other people's stuff at the expense of our own, and I really dont feel the need to justify our placement so ill just leave it at this.

We had some plans this year for a bigger construction project, but sometimes things just dont work out as you plan them.... Sometimes big storms come through and wreck your work. Sometimes your truck doesnt make it out there on time. Sometimes you just cant get things going.

One thing is for sure though, no matter what you do, someone will be there to bitch about it on the eplaya.

Actually, the first person i met this year was a Space Cowboy greeting mid dust storm on Monday evening. Conveniently they DJ'ed a party or two at our place. You guys rock! Keep on keepin on.

Personally, I'm happy that Space Cowboys are on the esplanade. The Unimog is a work of fucking art. I like seeing it prominently displayed (even when it's not being utilised for its indended purpose.)

EvilDustBooger · Post by **EvilDustBooger** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 6:19 am

Please pay no attention to the above 2 posts.
What are you trying to do?
Turn this into the congratulatory-kudos-complimentary-reafirmation thread?
HEY!
You are supposed to be complaining.
I just don`t understand you people.

In the future...Please submit your niceties in complaint form.

Geez!

Cosworth Magellan · Post by **Cosworth Magellan** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 6:42 am

OK, fine. I can do that.

Complaint: The greeter-type-person at the gate sent me to 3:00 and the camp placement person to 3:30.

Complaint: I know the Space Cowboys are great, but people need to stop trying to be the Space Cowboys and play something other than fucking breakbeat. I'm fucking sick of it now after a week of it non-stop.

Complaint: Paul fucking Oakenfold.

Complaint: The Nevada health department are a bunch of fucking bastards for shutting down Random Pizza Experience.

Complaint: Got food poisoning from Random Pizza Experience.

Complaint: Darktards with bikes.

Complaint: Darktards with stolen bikes.

Complaint: Is there a sign in front of our camp that says "Wasted candy raver storage?"

Complaint: Too many domes. Not enough pyramids. Nary a ziggurat to be found.

Complaint: Accountants are NOT allowed to be hippies. No, not even for a week. It doesn't matter how much acid you did.

Complaint: Stop bitching about my cigarette smoking. I take care of my MOOP. Chances are, I've taken care of some of yours, too.

Complaint: BLM guys, it was fucking chap-stick, OK? You can stop with the NASA surveilance shit. Go bust some pot-smoking hippie driving his unregistered, unlit, explicit-gay-sex art car at 50 MPH backwards through the trash fence.

Complaint: My greeter was from the UK. I didn't travel 6000 miles from London to BRC to be greeted by a fucking Brit.

Kinetic IV · Post by **Kinetic IV** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 6:45 am

Now that's the best damn list of complaints I've seen yet. And not an illegitimate one in the bunch.

EvilDustBooger · Post by **EvilDustBooger** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 6:54 am

That`s what I`m talking about.
Now why can`t the rest of you get on the stick?
Kinetic, you where teetering on the edge of nice there.
You know better than that.

Paradox Plaid · Post by **Paradox Plaid** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 10:29 pm

fine,
the hotty from space cowboys that spanked my virgin ass at the gate was too hot (i was her virgin spanking). i want to complain about not seeing her the rest of the week.
the kids from space cowboys spun too good of beats at our party, it made it too fun to be bartender (well that and me playing swedish chef with the mixers). damn everyone for complaining about my random flight testing of the plastic bottle mixers. how the hell was i supposed to know "gravity" was working?
...and damn all my campmates and every single one of you for making my first burn so unforgettably astonishing that the default world sucks so fucking much right now.

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 11:12 pm

Complaint: The gate personnel upon my arrival were professional and completely no-nonsense. What's up with THAT?

Complaint: I rode my bike into a t-stake sticking only 8 inches out of the playa surface the week before the event in the main camping area. Is that someone's idea of a fucking joke?

Complaint: Not enough art cars visit the art installations early in the week when things are still under construction to offer shade and refreshments to people working on them. But when we got done, there was one every 5 minutes. Afraid we were going to put you to work or something?

Complaint: Too much dust on Monday. I blame the Bush administration.

Complaint: People complaining. Damn already. It's like some kind of tradition or something.

robotland · Post by **robotland** » Fri Sep 30, 2005 6:33 am

Goddamn year's too long. Why the hell can't we adopt the goddamn Mercurian Year, or even the goddamn Venusian Year?? Goddamn burns are too goddamned far apart. And DON'T go messing with daylight savings time- You want me to wait another several WEEKS for the burn to be one hour closer? I don't think so.

Complaint: There isn't enough Larry Harvey to go around.

He should be cloned. There should be Jiffy Lube Larry, and Space Cowboy Larry, and The Man Larry, and a Paul Oakenfold/Larry hybrid Larry, porta potty investigation Larry, and Greeter Larry, and crazy talkin' jive Larry, and maybe even a special crazy sniper Larry.

Oooh... Most Dangerous Game Larry... hunting down a whole herd of endangered Raver Glow Stick Larry's from his helicopter!

Holy shit. I never seen this one before.

I was like, "did I post anything on this thread?"

Then noticed the post count.

That's pretty funny. I'm flattered.

And when are they gonna pave the esplanade and get that damn monorail functioning? I mean, do they expect us to WALK? We're civilized Americans for fuck's sake.

Complaint: Radical inclusion does not necessarily mean that I want to take part in whatever crystal-gripping hippie shit you happen to be perpetuating on the playa. If you want to form a big energy circle and align your chakras with everyone else's, knock yourselves out. If you try and drag me into said circle when I'm obviously a jaded prick, don't bitch at me for "throwing off the energy with negativity."

Complaint: Just because I look high, that doesn't mean I want to hug you. Unless you're a hot chick, in which case, hug away.

Complaint: Even if you are a really hot chick, I reserve the right to refuse to hug you if you smell like patchouli or Vicks Vaporub

Complaint: Why, for fucks sake, can't everybody just WALK to the two main burns? The sheer amount of space taken up by discarded bicycles was really really irritating.

Complaint: Kids with glowsticks who want to give me "Lightshows." Why? Why would I wanna watch you wave some glowsticks around like an epileptic chihuahua on an espresso enema? The only way two glowing sticks of light might look interesting would be if I were extremely fuct up, and if that were the case I'd go look at some art installation instead.

Complaint - people not complaining on the complaint thread. It's not the
the good job thread. It's not the atta-girl thread. It's not the pat-on-the-back thread. It's the goddamn complaint thread. You don't go to church to steal. You don't go to candy store to buy a shovel. Why would you compliment someone on the complaint thread? AAArrrrrggggg.

Ok, I fucked up. You want a complaint, you got one.

Friends that cancel plans at the last freakin second. Oh, that's not related to BM, how about I'm complaining that I couldn't write a complaint like Jezebel's. And another one, people that shit on the playa and leave it for the unsuspecting to ride through at 3 am. There, is that good?

I want to complain......

lay off the space cowboys

aight
