Actually a nice vodka martini sounds good, and I love olives.

Drinks all round

No prob, Sput. Everyone else had to run off for a bit- didja hear about the little rideshare sitch that just fell into place?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 6:56 pm

No. I hadn't.

Okay, so I ended up having a space open up in my car, and found out that Chai Guy was still looking for a ride. He was figuring on having to hitch to I-5, and as it turns out he'll be directly on my route exactly when I'm planning on going down. He's hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, and I take the back route to BMan.

Oh yeah. I did hear about that. Nice that you can help him out.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:12 pm

Really cool that neither of us has to detour, too.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:22 pm

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:26 pm

We've been having some of those bourbon lime thingies and vodka martinis, but whatever you want. Name it-we got it.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:28 pm

I’ll try one of those Bourbon lime thingies, on Ice

Hi ,.. bye,.. Sputnik

Thanks DD

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:35 pm

Sure. So how's the weather out your way, lately?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:39 pm

we’ve been having high 70s and 80s for the past few days, I think we’re suppose to get storms tonight but who knows. Kind of unusual to have as many warm days in a row so early.

what’s it like in Silver Falls?

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:44 pm

Maybe it’s me but e-playa seems like it should have picked up by now, I wonder what if anything we could do to boost registration and participation. What got you to join into this as such a force Duck?

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:46 pm

It was really sunny for a bit, 60's and 70's, then it decided to rain and cool down. So right now it's really windy, 50's, snow level's at 2,500 ft, raining off and on. Sun broke through this afternoon, so we have a real nice sunset going right now. Can't really see it from where I'm at, but I can see the colors on the clouds in the opposite direction.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:48 pm

Time. I've got waaaay too much time on my hands. I do this at work.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:54 pm

I was on really heavy when I was unemployed , a lot of late nights back then,.. kind of miss it, but getting paid is a good thing .

someplace in the world there is always somebody on night shift that has time to kill, some of them have to be burners

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 7:57 pm

True. I think having an actual camp on the playa will help. I'm sure a lot of people haven't even explored the eplaya link. Maybe after seeing real humans associated with eplaya, more people will check it out.

That or it will scare the rest off,... Both years I’ve gone I looked forward to the Meet & greet, it was great to finally, see the people I felt like I knew so well, It seems there is always somebody who is a really surprisingly unlike there posts, others are like old friends and there is even a more profound bond in person.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 8:10 pm

Never gone to a meet & greet- tell me about it.

Zulegoona · Post by **Zulegoona** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 8:22 pm

It’ll be interesting to see if the Bar on the Playa will change the meet & greet,... I can’t remember if Doc Pyro has offered his traditional invitation yet of maybe it will fall to some other camp, like one with a bar hmm.
I think having Barbie death camp wine bistro sponsor the gathering was a good thing it was for E-playa ,and 3-Playa members , 3 -playa was made up of people who became disillusioned with e-playa when it switched to this format in 03 I think. It tends to be a smaller community of people but more active though not necessarily focused on Burning Man .

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 8:25 pm

That'd actually be really cool-to have the meet & greet at the Eplaya Bar. How had it previously been announced?

CLARKcon · Post by **CLARKcon** » Sat Apr 15, 2006 8:35 pm

Hey DD, Zule! Just popping in until I can get my brain focused on some work. But, I am all sorts about chatting for a bit and slamming a cup of Joe
