What the fuck!

I just received a call about doing a dance floor over a 15x30 swimming pool for one night.

They want it all Plexiglas with lighting on the water. So they can see the water sparkle under their feet as they dance.

Sure we canâ€¦. It just cost moneyâ€¦hope you have a lot.

$50,000 down payment should do for a start.

More money than sense.

2.000"x48"x48" Clear Plexiglas Acrylic Sheet Cell Cast Paper Mask

1 â€“ 4 $1,543.24
5 + $1,343.52

That's just insane. I can't even find another word to describe it.

But Ragpup, you live here in Microsoftland... Hell, I know people who have 4 million dollar boats that don't even know how to set their anchor in shallow water properly. (Andrews Bay, just off Seward Park... it's only 40 feet deep... sometimes we have to do it for him!) I have friends here that are retired... at under 40 years old.
There are people that put up more $$ for Burning Man than you mighta ever imagined, too.
The crazy $$ that floats around is the only reason I stay here in this cloudy rainy town.

Haven't they ever seen "It's a Wonderful Life"?

Post by **AntiM** » Mon May 19, 2008 5:25 pm

Last night I dreamt I was dating Morgan Freeman. In the dream, Ranger Genius kept teasing me about being a rich Hollywood wife and funding all future art projects.

The whole thing was rather disturbing. Morgan Freeman? He was attentive and sweet, that part of the dream was nice. Weird, weird, weird, but nice.

Okay, back to the Bar. What's trendy and far too alcoholic?

I don't care about trendy AntiM, let's just go straight for the everclear.

M - you dont have a thing for Morgan? i have had wierd dreams but never about Morgna Freeman. I dreamt i got in a fight with Burt Reynolds, on the set of Smokey and the Bandit.

Lately I have been writing my dreams down, and am trying to interpret them - funny stuff goes on in there.

Time for a minor celebratory drink. I just bought my flight tickets for this year!

ragabashpup · Post by **ragabashpup** » Tue May 20, 2008 10:59 am

Congrats sputnik

now what else do you need to accomplish in the next three months...

oh gods not enough time...

Well, I think the first order of the day is to try and figure out if I am going to do something volunteer like when I am there this year. I trained for rangering two years ago, but never got the time when I was there. No way I can get to any of the ranger training sessions this year, so I guess that is out.

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue May 20, 2008 11:43 am

So, there is no way I can bring any sort of large scale art, even small may be out of the question. I am limited to 2 checked bags (a third would be an extra $100 - and I think I can make do), so there is no way for me to bring much more than the basics. I'm sure something will turn up.

ragabashpup · Post by **ragabashpup** » Tue May 20, 2008 12:28 pm

I don't have any volunteer plans yet. I would like to do a greeter shift and a lamplighters shift. I guess I should get on that. I was even thinking of trying to do a slave shift at the center camp coffee cleaning up trash and such.

We've got volunteer work for ya, Sput!!!!..........

Is it Beer:30, yet?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue May 20, 2008 12:40 pm

Yeah, greeter might be good. And I totally expect to bartend for the Booby Bar at least once.

thisisthatwhichis · Post by **thisisthatwhichis** » Tue May 20, 2008 12:43 pm

What day are you scheduled to hit the Playa?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue May 20, 2008 12:47 pm

Flight is scheduled to land around 1pm on Sunday. Jim and Cindy have offered me a place to stay for the night, so I may buy all my stuff on Sunday and hang there until Monday morning.

thisisthatwhichis · Post by **thisisthatwhichis** » Tue May 20, 2008 5:02 pm

OK, way past Beer:30...... I'm ready for a cocktail.....

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue May 20, 2008 6:58 pm

Looks good to me TITWI!

Jewel*** · Post by Jewel*** » Tue May 20, 2008 8:16 pm

HEY SPUT!!!!

Are Jim and Cinde going this year? I have to start looking for flights, fuck. I have to coordinate with Shoegirl, rent a car..... fuck. I'll have to look for my old directions from titwi. where to shop, how to get to burning man. simple stuff.

Cool shit on the dance floor Mozy. I might just have to crash that party. Hey, I'm gonna be in California, for the first time, I might add, at the end of July for a wedding. Where do you live? I'll stop by for a cocktail.

BTW, can you get a fucking drink around here?

Hey Jewel, Dave,

Jim and Cinde (whoops gotta get that right) are not going this year. But we did exchange some emails a bit ago and they invited me to overnight there. When are you thinking about coming in?

LeChatNoir · Post by **LeChatNoir** » Tue May 20, 2008 8:23 pm

Oh, good Godâ€¦

Pardon me.

Fizzy beer, donâ€™t yaâ€™ know.

Woah....don't jump up on me like that dude!

Jewel*** · Post by Jewel*** » Tue May 20, 2008 8:35 pm

i'm thinking Monday. Shoe's thinkin' Tuesday. I'll have to work on her.

hey le chat. you should see my 4 x 4 art gallery. I have 9 of them framed hanging on 1 wall. they're pretty damn cool.

ibdave. got any popcorn?

sputnik · Post by **sputnik** » Tue May 20, 2008 8:38 pm

Well, then I will likely run into the two of you on playa and not in Reno. I am still not sure where to camp. Booby Bar is certainly an option, but so far I have yet to camp with the same group twice.....well, except that the Booby Bar is not the same group, technically speaking....hmmmmmm

More thinking must occur.

Jewel*** · Post by Jewel*** » Tue May 20, 2008 8:42 pm

yes, i have to do a lot of thinking as well. i think i'm camping on the other side this year. that's where i camped my first year. change is good once in a while.
