She does day from a couple years ago. Still, some things are tacky when up for sale.

Does the org ever give these away?
They may end up on a car driving around at the burn.
Pretty official to let someone random have.

Does not seem like the thing they would give away.

One more reason Pred's wise to not let the esd ones go loose.

Some people have been busy bidding on it.

130 bucks just to pretend to have been someone special.

Sold by an ex/? dpw person to a burner.
He was planning to donate them to the dpw, but since they are an older design, may brighten a fridge.

I have no idea why anyone else was bidding on them and with ebay's new weird secrecy, there is no way to ask.

I love the shwag people give me, but I always pass on the big souvenirs.
It's like, how many stars do you meet before you quit asking for autographs?

On the other hand, I still want to do a souvenir shop on the playa if I can raise enough money.
Plastic glow-in-the-dark Harvey for the dashboard anyone?
Vintage ashes from other burns?

I threw a bid on it for giggles at $25. Got outbid pretty damn fast too.

I'm pretty sure the winning bid is a guy from the parts. The name is very familiar.

Feel free to steal the signs from the porta-potties. I take it as a personal compliment.

On Monday, right?

Monday's nice, but I know that if you really want a poo-em and you see it, there isn't anything to stop you from taking it right then and there. Next year there's going to be even greater coverage ( the dirt storm and my illness screwed this up) so every one will see a wide selection of them, and one or two missing shouln't be a problem.

The very first porto I used through the gates, next to the greeter's station, had my poo-em on it. I was thrilled! A potty with my name on it! "It's a sign!" we'd been saying the entire trip ... and there it was, my sign Even funnier, there was a camp down the street which had a "It's a sign" sign out front.
