Project Night

> what subjects shouldn't we mention?

First rule of Fight Club is that we do not talk about Fight Club! :)

Actually, this is a great idea! For the past few weeks I've been charging forward on my project - a human powered flying saucer with multi-channel lighting controller, and I would love the opportunity to talk to someone about working with wire, wire mesh, and/or metal because that's the area in which I need the most help.

BTW you can read about my project here: www.oceanbeach.com/ches/tra...ndex.html

Sounds fun. I might just have to dust off my poi.

Great!

Let's pick a date. This week? Wednesday?

I haven't called the Weevil yet to see what nights they're less busy (y'all would be welcome to propose an alternative venue...)

I was hoping to hear whether we were moving forward with this thing. I don't want to step on any toes but Frederick hasn't responded yet. Should we just say yeah, it's on, and show up at the Boll Weevil on Miramar? What time? 6:00? 6:30?

I was thinking next wednesday, since this wednesday is today. Was planning to call today, then post the announce.

Umm, I guess I should post more info for those that might care.

AutoHaven is:
Off of I-5, very close to I-8
has a decent sound system so we can have good music
has a video projector, people can bring digitized photo albums and we can slide-show them
has no need to be 'family friendly'
is open as late as we want (with reason, I have to work the next day)
large (could fit 40-50 if we had to)

AutoHaven isn't:
heated (if it's a chilly night, bring a jacket)
furnished (I have 6-7 chairs, bring seating)
spotlessly clean (don't wear something white that you love and is expensive)

Cry havoc and let loose the burners of raw!

C-Ya there!

(If you're asking yourself - "What is this Burning Man thing I keep hearing so much about?", or "Where are all the San Diego burners?", or "What can I do to kill a meaningless Wednesday evening as I race on another day closer to death?" - read on!)

We're now Burn minus 3 months or so (eep!). If you haven't started already it's time to start digging out the costumes, checking if your brain will function in non-default-world-mode, ordering LEDs from Hong Kong and glowsticks from (wherever they make glowsticks?) and building up your alcohol tolerance.

Please join us (and invite your wanna-burner and oughta-burner friends) for a community project night, where we get together and discuss the projects we're working on, recruit new suckers, er, volunteers, promote what we want to promote, answer newbie questions, debate rebar and motorhomes, and so forth; and generally get to know each other!

The particulars, in no particular order:

The evening's agenda will remain well-hidden.

This will be a potluck supper, so make it, bring it, share it.

If you're not sure if you're going to Burning Man this year - by the end of the evening maybe you will be. If you're planning to go to Burning Man for a day or two just to drink beer and try to get laid, maybe by the end of the evening you'll be so disgusted by all the hippie freaks that you'll take your beer bong buddies somewhere else for vacation - I suggest South Padre Island, I hear it's nice in August.

If you're doing a project - be ready to talk about it! If you're doing a theme camp and you need fresh meat/roadies/equipment rental financing/willing and able participants/someone else to blame, be ready to pimp your camp. If you're doing a theme camp that's all full up with people you know and trust and there just isn't room for anyone else, get over yourself and snag some freshies, it'll brighten up the place and get rid of some of the old stench.

If you aren't doing a project or you don't know who you're camping with, this would be a first opportunity to meet people who might someday grudgingly accept you despite your many flaws.

This ain't no party (nor is it a disco, tho it may well be fooling around). It's a Wednesday night - a school night, and I want you kids home and in bed at a reasonable hour or there will be hell to pay.

Newbies welcome! Old-timers welcome! Dusty blinky clothes are welcome! Undercover law enforcement - not so welcome, but what can you do? Give 'em a creepy hug, that's what you can do.

Children are...someone else's problem. Expect adults acting childishly.

There may be strange strangers in attendance, and there will certainly be strange regulars (or regular strangers). Use caution when approaching Rangers and/or circus performers. Your mileage will most certainly vary, often by an order of magnitude.

Bring:
-food to share.
-chairs if you feel like you need them.
-buckets of costumes to get rid of.
-blinky stuff
-an open mind.
-A computer-driven laser cutter/engraver, I need to borrow it for a few months.
-A large trebuchet. I'm sure we can find something to fling.
If you're going to drop of your car for Mark to work on, I'm sure you should check with him first.

If you have questions, complaints or concerns, write them on the back of a $50 bill and send them to:
