hello all!

http://www.giantmonster.com/burn2004/

this year there is 11 (count 'em) concentric streets to accommodate the masses (named for the the planets including the newest planet, Sedna). very nice! last year they added an additional street as well. getting crowded ...

anyway, please enjoy!

Neither is Esplenade. What's your point?

;)

Sedna is tha milky stuff that builds up under the foreskin...

Esplenade is a type of cheese...

And a Badger is a mythical beast, first drawn by Leonardo da Capprio...

Point taken.

how come bmorg hasnt posted these on their website??

One reason that I know of - the Project generally waits until the last possible minute to post the map because the second people see it, they start requesting specific addresses for placement, which are nearly impossible to accomodate.

There may be others.

Outside of center camp (since you cannot camp there) the 2 places that are the place to be are at (this year) "Mercury & 3:36" and "Mercury & 8:24" - OK, I know they are village spots, but still...
Also the other places that should be interesting is whatever is displayed out at "2500ft & 1:12" and "2500ft & 10:48"!

Is there an artistic or conceptual significance this year for the time reference in hours and minutes as a map reference, i.e. 00:00?

I don't think so. I think they always do that. Last year the streets that went from 2:00pm to 10:00pm also had names. The clock reference seems to be there so you can navigate more easily. Use the Man as the center of the clock and you can see where you are in relation to him and know your location. Of course, after the man burns you are completely lost!

I'm guessing that you've got some sort of astrological reason for picking these areas as hotspots?

I'm personally torn between Venus (love, beauty, art), Earth, Jupiter, and Uranus. But I really just can't wait to see the scatalogical combinations that the radials create with the latter.

BTW - what do you mean, 2500 ft? 2500 ft past Sedna?

Just watch out for Micheal Moore Camp at Mercury and 9:11. Still, I guess about 3 am on Friday the "Raving Redneck Battalion" of the Chupacabras will show up with bullhorns and begin heckling. Bring popcorn.

No - 2500ft from the center (ie from the man).

FYI The significance of those spots are based on some mathematical geometry of BRC and some weird co-incidences - or maybe someone planned the numerology

Thanks!
