POST ALTERNATE LOCATIONS FOR BM 2013

[clocksnmirrors]

Colorado just might be the best location. We'll find out later tonight.

what happens tonight?

[CornMan]

They vote to legalize marijuana.

[clocksnmirrors]

hah

but.... isn't there a federal law against mary j? and if so, does it matter if the state decriminalizes or even legalizes? doesn't federal law trump all?

[CornMan]

I guess it does matter in the case of Burning Man if BLM has a hard-on against Marijuana. I don't know if they are prepared to make possession of marijuana a federal offense.

[Ugly Dougly]

Do you think Burning Man is all about marijuana?

[CornMan]

Do you think Burning Man is all about marijuana?

No, it's about booze too.

[lucky420]

Possession of mj is already a federal offense... So if you get busted for a little green (or anything for that matter) be respectful and polite, use the manners your mama taught you and you'll most likely just walk away with just the stupid tax/fine.

[FIGJAM]

Oh my!!!!!!!

You don't know my mama!

[Ugly Dougly]

All right, let's discuss pot someplace else.
You got a serious idea for a venue?

Where do the rocket hobbyists have their launches? Let them do the scouting for us.

[mdmf007]

The rocket clubs use the Blackrock as one of their venues.

Sturgis is not centered on one 5 square mile tract of land - people stay in campgrounds and RV parks for 50 miles in every direction.

I say Southern Oregon on the turf farms, Farther drive for most, shorter drive for many. Would be nice to have a permanent site so infrastructure can be laid down... I for one wouldnt miss the dust, but spend 2+ months a year on the Blackrock as well.

I'd go for that.

[Ugly Dougly]

Wow. A giant green, mowed lawn. That would delight my bare feet.
<practical hat>Could we burn there? Could the proprietors sell their sod after thousands of dirty hippies cavorted over it?</practical hat>
Southern Oregon is a great area too, an underappreciated gem.

[BBadger]

Ew, humidity.

[theCryptofishist]

STuck in mud 24/7.

IIRC, 007 had suggested that buying the turf would be cheaper than the rent on the playa, and, the farmer loses nothing, and if any is left, gets some "extra" to sell. Otherwise, harvests the dead, trampled stuff and replants, just as usual.
also with burning stuff: since the top layer of soil is removed with the sod, cleanup might even be easier? and it' could probably be taken away, tilled and reused for sod later in the year.


I don't know about mud, Fishy.......of course, weather can never be predicted, but, not only do I bet it drains well, but I'm sure provisions for it not to be watered, well in advance, could be made.

[Ugly Dougly]

Yep, we know about that one.

Some go to Plaster City. Others go to Lucerne Dry Lake.

[Dr. Pyro]

It certainly would be an added bonus if it were near a lake someplace so we could go skinny dipping.

And just that quickly the topic swings back to grass

IDK Fishy, work with me here, think monster wheel chair mud bog racing.

[Ratty]

Sod isn't just grass and dirt. It's also that nasty plastic netting embedded in the dirt. I'm just sayin....

[clocksnmirrors]

i can't imagine that sod would look any too good after 50,000 burners have at it

[ygmir]

who cares what it looks like after.....it's been paid for. and, can be replanted just like then next crop.

last week i saw a license plate with the letters YGM1R on it. i thought of you

wow!!!

when I got the name, about 15 years ago, nothing even came up on google from it.

that's interesting, though, thanks clocksnmirrors.

[Sail Man]

If I saw a truck driving down the road with Sail Man on the license plate, I'd have to report my ride stolen.

[mdmf007]

The weather is not that much different in Southern Oregon. Its only 150 miles or so from the BRC as is and as far as it getting muddy, the farmer simply does not water it. Without irrigation the ground will harden up sufficiently to drive tractor trailers on, same way they harvest it. Would be nice to flop down at 0300 in the grass and watch the stars. Moop would be easier to catch as well since the little stuff wont keep blowing away like it does in the desert.

Maybe there are other Sail Mans in the other 49 states...

I'll venture a guess that after we're done there will be places where nothing will grow

especially where the hippies hang out for the week....

Mr. Grass Farmer may not be too pleased with that outcome

Just a thought - I have those occasionally

There you are being a killjoy and/or wet blanket again
