I am already thinking about 2015. I am wondering about, thinking about and, tinkering about:
1. Building a facsimile of a mini-circus calliope
2. Mounted on a small wagon and decorated like a circus wagon
3. Having pre-recording electronic calliope music
4. Myself dressed like a circus ring master
5. Having a smallish person dressed as a clown ride in the calliope wagon
6. Act like they are playing the calliope
7. While I peddle them around different sections of Black Rock City on my decorated electric tricycle at 3:00 pm every afternoon
Music such as this:
Thumbs Up
Thumbs Down
No Thumbs

Captain,
Nice photo. I am thinking in terms of a much more diminutive, more maneuverable & personal scale, i.e. tricycle & wagon.

Ellorum,
I love it.
If you have a clown suit, I may have an afternoon job for you.

Here is one Killbuck and I did for 2013 (at FixIt's Shop in Reno)
Killbuck did the visuals (obviously) and i did the electronics. Charlie Gadeken from FLG donated the baby pram.
It is a lot of fun - I am working on spiffying it up for 2014 and kidnapping new Monkeys from helpless organ grinders.
Swing by Sideshow Camp @ Illumination Village 2:30 & Espl and I will reveal all its secrets.
