This will turn into a city buy Friday night. All out in the Blackrock desert NV.

    Thanks for the link. I have wanted to attend this but can't seem to get my wife interested in it. From some of the stories I have heard maybe that is a good thing [;)]
    Regards, MAALOX

    Would not go without a tetanus shot, a thesaurus, and several slivers of windowpane acid.

    50-60k, We built 2 mobile exhibits for a Stanford Surgeon that attends every year. As he puts it, "Its the most radical art show on earth"

    I think I have some pic's of what we did for him, I will try and post them.

    Sorry about the pic's these came off my cell phone.
    This one is built on gulf cart chassis. Baby Dino. Shoots fire out the mouth etc.

    And this on was made after one of those fish that live at like 20 million feet[:D] in the ocean. We used an old doge Caravan to build this one and is in its second year.

    If you have the money we will build it.[:D]

    Can you give a brief run down on exactly what burningman is ? From the web cam, it looks like some kind of desert party. Thanks

    Only ever heard of it on "Reno 911". The deputies all dressed like raving queens and went to it. Is that a clue?

    My neighbor went out there 2 years ago.
    He loved it.
    I had just come out of surgery, I let him "borrow" 8 Vicodin, he said he needed something to help him sleep out there, evidently it is noisy all night long, plus, real hot.

    And help him taste the colors and see the music also.

    I always wanted to learn how to fart 'Jingle Bells', and go to one of those.

    It could even get me a Nobel Peace Price, because it got Obama one.

    I know guys who regularly attend burningman who would love to have a shoot on the Blackrock.

    I still think the main draw to BM is the umm, err, how shall I say,
    the boobies.[:p]
    There. I've said it.
