I think Arne might be busy in Louisville working on his Museum Plaza commission.

Yep, it was a one-off. I'll try to remember to pack the Uchronia book- It's nicely done. (Thank you again, Bee!)
A really fun burn, except for some ugly "Down In Front!" fascism and the slightly lengthy pageantry...but I was nursing a sore knee and was probably just crabby.
"Message From The Future" was a really good example of how something that's HUGE can look teeny in playa context.

Call some car companies. Maybe they could pull off another one.

A Waffle built of priuses arched against the sky.
Mmmmmm.
Waffle.
Battery packs overheating and exploding like so many fireworks.
Melting into a giant smug pool of aluminum to be peeled off the playa.
Maybe we could put down a mold that casts everything into a giant metal waffle?

It could be exhibited as a symbol of "something really artsy".
"Everything is more wonderful when you do it with a car, don't you think?"
-girl by the fire, watching a tree moved by car bumper in the bonfire

It would be a shame if I had to resort to self-deception to preserve my faith in objective reality.

A tip is don'tblock air vents next to rear seat.
