WE WANT YOU: LOVE ARMY 2006

[?uestion]

LOVE ARMY is Black Rock's first "Theme Cult" - meaning you join us online, camp wherever you want and participate on your own schedule. It's the pleasure of being part of an awesome crew without having to live with them. Plus, if you're a bit non-commital or have other s*&t going on, we welcome you since we're like that too! Intrigued? Then it's time you signed up for a tour of booty that will be the best time you've had doing anything ever! Here's the drill jarhead:

1. EMBRACE OUR GOAL
Our purpose is bullet simple: SPREAD LOVE

2. CHOOSE YOUR MISSION
We have created a Tribe.net community for Love Army soldiers to join and select missions from:
http://tribes.tribe.net/lovearmy2006

3. SUIT UP
Love Army units are strongly encouraged to create costumes of their own theme. Our official colors are pink and green. However, regardless of what you wear, when on missions, every soldier must rock the special LOVE ARMY IDENTIFIER, which will be issued at Burning Man.

Please join our forces. Last year we were 200 strong and this year we are poised for a mass invasion. For more info and/or some coolness, march on over to:

As you'll see on the tribe site we are posting missions for daring Love Army soldiers to take on. The following is up for grabs. If you're interested either visit http://tribes.tribe.net/lovearmy2006 or email [email protected].

One of the bestest missions is a "Love Army" sign in the playa like the famous "Hollywood" one (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_sign). This will be a key operation to establish our fight for luv at Black Rock.

Now there are several options, from making a scale replica to re-interpreting the concept. Here are some (obvious) parameters:
1/ It should be big (letters at least 6'2" since that's my height and I'm an egomaniac)
2/ It should be extremely visible both day and night. a) because that's the point b) to avoid death or dismemberment by collision
3/ It should be rain, wind and alien proof (oh they exist, just ask "Larry Harvey")
4/ It should be erected, insterted and withdrawn as per BM guidelines (whatever the _____ they are).

Beyond that we'd like someone to take on this high profile task. We know it's not easy, but gosh will it be rewarding. A couple of ideas we passed around were:
- Making a giant "L O V E" Hollywood styles and a little "army"
- Building a frame for each word and then covering it with that white camo material or similar (and lighting the hell out of the whole deathtrap)
- Doing a photoshop version of the sign in the Hollywood hills and projecting it onto a really big screen

ANYHOW, we really want someone motivated and creative to take adopt this baby. Please, it's cute and lonely.

Everytime I see this thread, I want to sing "In the Navy." Therefore your cult is evil.

I accept the mission of costume ambush. I shall store the uniform and accessories in a special rucksack, turn my binoculars to the horizon, and wait for a victim with adequate stature. With their pledge to the Love Army, I will.... DEPLOY! DEPLOY! DEPLOY!

Please do not leak this to the Apokiliptika Interrogation Squad. Passing this year's loyalty questioning will be hard enough.
