John Fleck in the Albuquerque Journal tells us about a giant blast in Nevada June 2nd. It sounds fun - a new kind of "burning man" thing for munitians experts.

From the Washington Post:

This is the largest single explosive we could imagine doing," said James A. Tegnelia, director of the Pentagon's Defense Threat Reduction Agency, which is conducting the test.

ParTY!

The blast is not likely to be felt or heard outside the 1,375-square-mile test site, and the cloud of dust is expected to dissipate quickly from view, Morgan said. "They don't think people will see it in the base camp on the south end of the test site," he said.

Disapppointing. What good is saber-rattling if you can't hear it?

The cloud will dissipate from view. Who's gonna get to breathe it?

Yeah, but boy howdy does it make damn fine espresso!!

Seagrams 7? 7-up? 7&7 on 7-7-7-7:7.

Which makes it... wait for it... 7 7's!

Since 7x7=49, and since I'm writing this from California, it seems like a "golden" opportunity.

Then again, 4+9=13. Hmmm.

Guess it's time to go back to Vegas. Or Reno. Or at least Bruno's.

(Shirking back to the B(o)(o)by Bar camp to contemplate navels, fuzzy and otherwise...)

It's Official....Espresso Camp received notice from the State of Nevada that we have our

TEMPORARY FOOD SERVICE PERMIT !!

so now we are a legal entity.

and yesterday we bought 400 pounds of bottled water for brewing Espresso. Hope it's gonna be enough, what with BMORGGG LLCCC ice sales next door(well, in the same 3:00 Plaza). We will likely have more visitors than the last two years.

About two weeks out will be the coffee buying expedition...probably 60 pounds.

We have space available for a few campers/barristas. Help is greatly appreciated.

You looking to unload your grinds? Check this out.

http://www.xlounge.com/neverwas/neverwas_proposal.html
• Bio-Peat Mill: We will be converting coffee grounds, sawdust, paper, charcoal (wood from the burn piles around the Playa and other burnable MOOP) and Playa dust into burnable fuel pellets and briquettes to be used in our steam generator and other demonstratable engines. It will be a custom built machine in the style of Victorian machinery, approximately 3 feet by 3 feet. Once again, antique ironwork and clever plumbing will be used. There will be hands-on demonstration of the manufacture of the pellets/briquettes for the participants to learn and make for themselves. Since there will be a high need for coffee grounds to be used to make the bio-peat, we will be enlisting the support of all the other caffeine addicts in the area and using their coffee grounds, thereby eliminating the need for disposal.

Would be most happy to get another life out of the grounds by donating them to a fuel pellet project. Prolly create a half a 5 gallon bucket every day.

Normally would have them in open garbage bags drying on the playa, then take em home 4 compost.
