Ah yes, exactly what I'm talking about.

My posts become fodder for all sorts of interpretations that I feel have nothing to do with what I say or what my experience is or what my values are. Sure, I was a bit facicious, but then I come here in part to be playful and facious is part of that. So now I am, once again, not burny enough and have the soul of a prison inmate and am probably a sheep named shirley.


POOF!!!

Trey, I say run.

From what I have gotten from the whole idea of the borg2 movement was it was about increasing the quality and quantity of the Art on the playa. Suggesting that community grew out of the collaborative efforts or attendees working together to construct the art on the playa.

I can certainly get behind that intent. I don't see just using the brawn of people as collaboration, so I don't like the idea of funding art that has previously been completed and shown at Burning Man or else ware.

True collaboration is a hard thing to pull off and many times the process is a better experience than the results. Even so to forward the stated goal of building community and the experience of Burning Man by funding art projects it seems collaborative works are the best way to go.

I think of nearly all the Burning Man people I have encountered in these different venues you would be a real asset to the council and would do a good job of trying to make Burning Man an event that even you would attend.

We are the spectators of BORG3

We feel this event is failing to live up to its true potential. We want to grasp the bling-bling ring of SPECTATORSHIP in all of its glory, but a task this monumental takes solid leadership, a clear vision, and people who know how to execute on brilliance when they smell it.

We're on it like white on rice.

We want to make Burning Man spectacular to watch, and we are stepping forward to pay others to do the work to make it happen. We are commiting ourselves to the creation of a mind-blowing, bling-bling, all-you-can-eat, shake-it-like-a-polaroid-picture FEAST FOR THE SENSES on the playa. Towards this end, our plan is to run an event around the event at Burning Man 2005, using the MASSIVELY COMMERCIALIZED and RADICALLY LUCRATIVE methods laid out in the "We Come to Watch" Petition.


We also come together to reaffirm the primacy of SPECTATORSHIP as our core vehicle towards MAKING BURNING MAN A KICK-ASS PARTY. What we've had at rock shows, and what we want to see on the playa, are the deep and meaningful ties formed in the bleachers during WILDLY COMMERCIALIZED SPECTATORSHIP, with the harshest hangovers, challenged constantly by our inebriation, inability to really see the edge of the toilet seat in the dark, and that annoying dude who never brings his own blow.

We invite EVERYONE to join us for this affirmation of the real reason you and all of your friends REALLY go to Burning Man. We welcome hot chicks, newbies with extra beer, the Greek system, hipsters, candy ravers, punks, people who can cook, hippies, goths, strippers, Australians, rock bands, exotic dancers, celebrities, and anybody who just loves to rock out with their cock out (but we swear we don't mean that in a sexist way - we totally love chicks, too).

We will exclude no person who wants to help us pay someone to do the work.

We invite you to join us

I see it as much more than that. I see it as the demonstration of an entirely different mechanism for getting art onto the playa. Only part of the benefits will be seen during the event. Another benefit comes after.

With the current borg1 mechanism you have people sitting around after saying "damn, the art was weak this year" and then they start asking questions about who got art grants from the org and who didn't and asking why such-and-such a project wasnt funded, etc. People end up using a lot of energy on water that has already gone under the bridge and they feel helpless because they know they won't have any input in next year's art either.

The Borg2 mechanism puts the art funding in the hands of the participants. It basically puts the responsibility in their hands too. If the art is weak, they know who to blame, they know who was funded and who wasnt. They know which projects were accepted because they voted for them.

I see the borg2 as more an experiment in process than anything else, and I wish them great success.

Dear Mr. Buttsex,

To include the ladies you simply have to coin the following:

Rock Out With Your Cock Out

*OR*

Jam Out With Your Clam Out

Cheers!
