Hey Pinemom,

Congrats again on becoming and official couple!!!

Also wanted to thank you for the great hospitality at the Booby Bar. It was the favorite place for some of my camp mates.

I wouldn't miss decomp on the 20th!! So I'll see you there if I can recognize you after the metamorphisis.

You are not hard to spot though with all the great costumery that is your life.

I am also posting what I received from Reno list concerning the parade. There is more about camping but I didn't know if that info was for the masses on e-playa so you'll have to check into that on your own.

The Parade info:

The Theme this year is "Mysteries of Nevada Area 51"

Reno, Carson, Tahoe, Minden and Gardnerville area
Black Rock Citizens, are welcome to participate!

Rules:
Everyone in the parade must be in a "costume" relating
to the Theme!! (such as aliens, men in black, secret
airbase uniforms, fire suits, astronauts, black bikes,
flying saucers and things mysterious and
indescribable). Family friendly of course. Expect to
walk, skip, dance, stilt or bike your way down the
street. Hula hoops, Poi and Staff streamers are OK

Four mutant vehicles for the parade have been chosen
so far. Additional MV's are by approval. Flying saucer
type MV are preferred.

The way it has gone in the past:
Call time is between 8:00 and 9:00am on Saturday Oct,
27Th. Meeting Location has not been assigned yet.
Expect another email with meeting spot.

Parade runs 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.

We don't enter the Parade until well after 10:am so
you have some leeway if your running late.

If your there early, no worries, the Preparade meet
and greet gathering is a Hoot!

The Plan:
We have two Parade entries this year.
Burning Man and Controlled burn!

Our parade Shin Danger Ranger is bringing two MV's
down form Gerlach. Names of the vehicles to follow.

1. http://controlledburnreno.com/, will bring Dave's
truck W/fire effects! Additional large fire effects
downtown are going to be pitched to NV day committee
in Oct. Following Dave Controlled Burn then,
2. Not confirmed, From Tahoe "The NeuroWeapon"
http://www.myspace.com/bloodgutsandbass
This MV with its most excellent sound system will
provide a crowd pleasing atmosphere for us to dance
to! We might need to "pass the hat" to offset their MV
expenses.

You can see this MV at the Decomposition party Oct
20Th! Please encourage them to keep their MV active
for another week and participate in the NV Day Parade!


Johnno and Osh will be our DJ's for the NV day
parade! MV provided by dj T dub and his group.
In case "The NeuroWeapon" falls thew, we will use
Johnno's sound system and put it on Dave's truck.

If your a "fire performer" you must have a Nevada
State Fire Marshal Card and Clowns of America Ins. or
Equal in order to perform with CB.


The NV Day Parade is a good time! Ask around, It is
worth coming too. I look forward to it.

See you soon

Rogeman

Wow! I didn't even know that there was an option for the parade!

I'm not sure we could get it together by then, but I am very interested in any reno decomp. sessions, as my wife and I are new to the concept.

If you don't mind educated nOObs who did all thier homework and left no MOOp, I'd love to contribute our souls and our selves.

PM me if it is ok for us to join in. :D

You should join the Las Vegas Burners Yahoo Group and see what they might be up to for Nevada Day activities.
