Will rock Burning Man 2012!
Hmm. “The American dream” eh? I wonder if we could take that wayward hairdryer Ryan picked up and convert it into some sort of machine to “display” the American dream of whoever put their head in it. As to how it would work. No thoughts yet…
Eric and I have been talking about our desire for motorized transport on the playa. Arguments against this idea can be made, for one our Evolve Revolve was a major PIA POS and consumed much time on and off the playa. We both feel that a simpler quieter vehicle could be very beneficial to the camp. Certainly ice runs and the Sunset serenade would be difficult with bikes alone. I’ve been shopping for a golf cart lately and feel that we can get one at a reasonable cost(~$400) that we may even be able to partially recoup after the burn.
Eric has come up with a most ingenious and creative art concept that fully embraces the American Dream theme. He would like to see a recreation of a Model T piled with Okies and all of their worldly belongings. I think that would rock. I’ve even considered a covered wagon with fake horses(covered bikes) ahead of it.
While searching for images of the real deal, I came across pics of the Hancock MD “Barge Bash”, I will NOT miss it this year. Check out the Beverly Hillbillies barge!!!
I thought I could combine our evaporation pond and my fascination with the New York subway. It may also fit into the theme since it’s a fairly iconic structure. The railing provides a nice structure to hang the evaporator screen from and the handrails act as reservoirs and plumbing. The globe and the sign will be lit for night time visibility. Being fairly two dimensional, it will be easier to pack on the roof of the rv. Depending on what liquids end up in it, it may even recreate the smells of the subway.
