This Year's theme sucks.

[mish]

Damn. I shoulda saved my uterus in a big glass jar. It coulda been the new Dicky.

So this year, if folks decide to have al fresco friskytime out in deep playa, can they argue when the cops bust them that they're just celebrating the theme? No? Damn.

OK, then, yeah...not thrilled with the theme either.

Gang, Mish. Mish, gang.
Ain't she sweet?

[bubbavic]

Now that's an art project I can get behind.

For those who thought my gallon jar of pickled eggs were yucky, see two posts above...

Say, does anyone know what the installation with 6 - 7 raised platforms with comfy futon mattresses and billow fabric privacy curtains and a rotating mirrored heart in the center was named?
I'd like to suggest it to Mish for her frisky frolics.

Very much so! I think this years theme supports playing laybia tag.

Oh my god, i love you. This almost makes the theme ok lol

I don't like the theme either. What is the theme, by the way?

[theCryptofishist]

It's odd, but even with the crappiest theme somebody comes up with a nice take on it.
For some reason from the Vault of Heaven year, I cherish that someone came up with "Fault of Kevin" and someone else "Pole Vault to Heaven." Don't underestimate the power of bored burners to come up with something absurd during the winter stay at home time.

Pound it.

Oh ya, definitely hate it.

[Nipple]

So, I keep hearing about the theme, but I haven't heard it.

Can I get this years theme in an MP3 from somewhere?

I'm building an art car with a captain's chair atop a 20 foot mast and heading over to first camp. Changing my name from Foxfur to Rainman...

How about on Vimeo?

Fine, it's "1.0", but you try finding a song called "Fertility 2.0"!

You know, I think there's one by Anne Droid and the Robotniks on their Hot House Flowers album.

[chiefdanfox]

Why would this be "2.0" then if it wasn't used before?

I'm going to webapp friend tag-cloud like your Fertility, and share podcasting mashups with standards compliant p2p crowdsourcing.

I'm with Nipple.

Larry's been in SF too long and thinks 2.0 sounds cool.

Like I said- I can't find anything official (yet) that says that Fertility was the theme in '97 or any other year. Doesn't mean it wasn't, but as far as I've found it certainly isn't looking like it was. I may be eating my words later, but at least they're low calorie.

I am wondering if he borrowed the idea from a group of scientists at UCB (Cal). Earlier this year they proposed that we humans embark on creating Carbon 2.0, which is the idea that we need to create a second carbon cycle to close the loop on carbon emissions (that is, continue burning carbon, but capture and reuse the emissions...um, that didn't really come out right). 2.0 is dog whistle for the redesigning or rethinking an existing paradigm.

Although.. in the meantime, we've clarified that it was indeed the theme in 1997. So, yeah.. this is a recycled theme.

I've decided to recycle my annual "ignoring of the theme"

I'm with you. I feel like the only thing the theme influences anymore is the eplaya discussion fodder and some minor talking amongst y'selves..

The closest I ever got to observing the theme was buying two stars-&-stripes bandannas for "The American Dream" in '08.

(They went unworn.)

[AntiM]

I did a placed theme piece in 2006. Fun!

[Ugly Dougly]

As it turns out, the theme both sucks and blows, effectively canceling itself out.
So, what's your theme?
I favor a gambling theme.

[forty_eight]

So ... in Fertility 2.0 you can actually conceive by being sucked OR blown? That is lame.

I guess I'll be honoring Celibacy 2.0, thank you very much!

[Trishntek]

How about "PIPE DREAMS" and we can all be tubular?

[Ugly Dougly]

Dream on heepee!

I thought perhaps it would be a gambling theme with the lottery tickets and all. It's the only way I could make this system make sense.
