Help Blyslv attend the burn
Help Blyslv attend the burn
I am neither a jaded old timer nor a dewy eyed newbie. I'm a middle aged schlub with an average amount of angst and ants in my pants.
2001 was my first burn and in '02 I ran the gender blender bar and fell swoonily in love. In 03 we did haiku flags and in '04 we got married, burned masks, bought a house, started a garden, learned how to fight fair, spent all our money. Thus our inability to budget leaves us with no ticket, no gas, scant food, and barely adequate water. Luckily, due to misplaced priorities and a simply fabulous social scene I 'm all set on party favors and slingshot ammunition. Shade we got covered (so to speak) and we have plenty of glowsticks thanks to that misplaced decimal point.
So what can you do to help blyslv and his lovely wife attend this fabulous fest of unconditional love?

That's easy, as I have a well grounded fear of getting beat up for my lunch money. In person I'm meek and mild.sputnik wrote:I can offer you a camp to be in, but you'd have to promise not to be snarky (much)
Doc, you'd better talk to elielieli.
Thanks for the kind and generous outpouring of support.

Honey, you can borrow $5 at 160% interest.
In exchange, I want you to kiss my feet daily whilst in downward dog, and then lovingly wash and lotion them.
If you're really good I'll give you leftover food, especially at the end of the week when I realise I've brought too much again and don't want to repack it all.
You may have to cook it yourself.
Use of my cookstove is possible in exchange for the cleaning thereof as well as disposal of greywater.
I'll share drinking water if you bring the shower.
Oh, and I too want some Eli3 time.

Hey, I'll make it even easier - I'll deliver the dollar in person. Friday, July 7, New Mexico Printmakers Gallery (new location on Johnson Street, next to Georgia O'Keefe Museum), 3 p.m. mas o menos. Be there.Bin Noddin wrote:Radical Self-Reliance = BLow Your SeLVes
Tell me where to mail the dollar.
