Because everyone over in the bar thread right now thinks this is a good idea and I should post it here. Heli has one that we can use if someone can pick it up. Otherwise one can be made or bought. Portables are available online

$300ish

That canopy seems to belong on the playa...I can sit here and visualize it in the middle of a camp. It just fits...I don't know how else to put it.

Primo, Mozy......

Jewel*** bought rounds for the bar, one to you....

I love it I think we need to get some basic idea this week or next on how much room we really need it seems to me that we are getting big enough to ask the Mayor for more frontage but we need facts....50' X 100' would let us set that up and still have room for Robbi's driveway.
I need to look at the AEZ 2006 wiki and get and idea what the camps set up is like The mayor sent out a mail on the list about not drawing the actual placement map till June but he wants numbers from all the big camps. If you go to the Wiki or AEZ website look at the 2005 map to get an idea of where we are and layout.

I LIKE it!! Hey, can we use the stripper pole as the center pole?

tisha2 · Post by **tisha2** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 12:07 am

only if you dance first...

call me crazy, but it's looking to me like y'all are gettin to the point of asking fer yer own darn property...with all the campers & space already committed, this looks like it could be a good 1/4 to 1/2 a block of a camp.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 12:10 am

So if we do it right, we'll be the whole block YAAAYYYYYYYY

Rockdad · Post by **Rockdad** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 1:04 am

Tisha your crazy...Well you asked Yep we need some numbers and figures soon..Mozy that looks so cool!
We only really need frontage for the Bar and driveway the camp can go deep which has advantages.

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 10:07 am

Mozy, that stretch shade structure is awsome. I bet, also (from it's ergonomics) that it would be highly wind resistant...the angles make the wind shift up and over, as opposed to pushing flat against a wall (all bad). Plus, being that it's low, it coincides with the being humble, lay down or crawl in aspect.

Some Utah folks scrounged this one, old Red Bull tent which they turned inside out and repainted. Makes a cool bar indeed.

Ok Mozy... that tent flippin' rocks. I completely agree with Kinetic... I can see that on playa very easily. It just fits...

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 3:04 pm

Just so you know, if I'm gong to be an "official " cook for the camp, I'll need to know what's expected of me, and I don't currently have the kind of stove I would need. I'd say I might be able to come up with one(a real one) and would do breakfast most days. I will have other obligations, and don't really want a new full time job, but I DO love to cook, and would do a dinner or lunch or snack once or twice, too. Then again, if the set-up is nice enough, I might not let anyone else have a turn. lol.
I love this new tent idea, definitely awesome.
Anybody have an idea exactly how many of us are going to be utilizing our little hotspot?

price is right for me. I still need to see how my dance floor bookings go. but one good floor rental can pay for the Kanopy. Then I can rent it out up untill BM to recoop my money. Color any ideas?

Sweet Mozy....

> I can also silk-screen you logo on all KD products.

Thoughts on the logo?, I can pitch in a few $$$......

Mozy bonz · Post by **Mozy bonz** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 3:56 pm

I will be using this for my dance floor rental Biz so we may not have a logo
On It. but I think some color would be good. But I am willing to take suggestions for a logo. Who knows I might like it. White is good also then We can color the Canopy with gelled lights.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 4:06 pm

I really liked the red, yeah could be done with lights, but wouldn't "pop" during the day. Not sure if that's good or bad.

Sorry, Missed that part.......

I agree White can turn any color with lights at night.........

Mozy bonz · Post by **Mozy bonz** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 4:23 pm

Yes I like color too and we want it to look good in the day.

I like the red but hard for me to rent at a wedding.

they do the print all over the tent so pictures may be a way to go.

mojo · Post by **mojo** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 5:01 pm

Oh Mozy......that tent is just very hip......
Your generosity is appreciated - can we help with $?

Mozy bonz · Post by **Mozy bonz** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 7:24 pm

can we help with $?

At this point no. but when we get closer we may want to buy a back up pole.
so if we have a pole Fail on the playa we can replace and we are back in biz.
We will see how the tent performs in rentals then that will tell me what to do from there.

There is a diffrent tent that works about the same but you can get rain walls for that one. allot more poles for that one and lots more money.

I like this one.

Rockdad · Post by **Rockdad** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 7:27 pm

Mozy what is the footprint? so if we add Robbi's driveway how much frontage do we need?

Mozy bonz · Post by **Mozy bonz** » Wed Mar 29, 2006 7:44 pm

The StarShade 400 requires a 43 foot diameter set-up area
