I forgot to add that if you go to Burning Man you need to take a shitload of beer. It's against the rules to sell things for cash (though some drug dealing is done that way) but bartering is encouraged. Almost everyone will trade for beer. www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat.

OT Burning Man
by Alan 23 Apr '03

23 Apr '03

I've been twice. If you haven't been, go. I'm going to try to go this year but it's a long trip and the tickets are really expensive. I've got some friends that are going so I may be able to. If you plan on going read all the warnings on the web site (www.burningman.com) very carefully and take them all to heart. The Black Rock Desert is merciless and can kill you. Don't even begin to imagine this is some sort of hippy dippy dancing in the daisies bullshit. The daytime temperature regularly exceeds 100F with no humidity so by the time you get thirsty you're already dehydrated. At night the temperature often dips towards freezing. On top of all this people are constantly blowing shit up, creating massive fireballs, electrocuting things with millions of volts, launching large, flaming projectiles and stuff like that. It actually says on your ticket that by entering you take the risk of death. Absolutely awesome event. I would also recommend that you not take your own vehicle unless you plan on washing every square inch of it inside and out including pressure washing under the dash, throughout the engine compartment, trunk, etc. The salt flat (playa) is a caustic basic powder that will eat any kind of metal when you add some moisture to the air. Also leave your really nice camera and electronic toys at home unless you can afford to have them IMMEDIATELY torn down and professionally cleaned when you get home. Either that or prepare to replace them soon after. Rent stuff, people. The second year I went there was a rare thunderstorm that turned the surface to glue. By the time we left my galvanized tent stakes look like they'd been in the ocean for a few years. Amazing. www.psychicreform.com Who let that monkey in here!?! Dada is dead. Watch your overcoat.

Yah you can add my name to that list... I can set up an FTP site at home if someone wants to upload em. But basically I would give my left nut for these cds. ;) -------------------------------------------- Letter to the editor, New York Times, published 4/19/03: "Cable's War Coverage Suggests a New 'Fox Effect' on Television Journalism" (news article, April 16) illustrates a paradox in American society. Constitutional protection of free speech is a necessary but insufficient condition for its exercise in daily life. Rights can become paper rights: constitutionally protected but seldom exercised by a people fearful of speaking one's mind. If dissenting opinions are publicly vilified by the news media, the conditions that make free speech and dissent possible will wither. People will not speak out against war or other unpopular policies, irrespective of their constitutional right, for fear that they will be demonized or punished financially or socially. In modern societies, it is unnecessary to resort to crude methods like imprisonment or torture to silence dissenters. It is sufficient simply to question their integrity, their values and their patriotism. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?

I have TotalRecorder 4.1, DSL, and can start to record and encode these. The first seems to be recording without any problems (at least not this time in the am :). There are 89 weekly shows (going back to 5/1/2001), looks like each show is divided into two 57-60 minute sets. So 178 hours worth of Anyone want to offer hosting these? Or we could start a CD-tree for these too, I suppose :) Looking at the playlists, they aren't particularly electronica-oriented, but interesting nonetheless. - pascal

Haven't been before (missed an opportunity to go in '96 due to family commitments, but I'm not bitter about it!! ) but it looks like I will be heading out there finally this year. If any other orbsters are planning on going we should all get together for a desert orb hoedown!

See, I tell you thrash, I think you and I would get along famously. You should come to brooklyn some time. We can smoke phatties on my roof and chuck water balloons at the pigs. Then when we get bored we can bounce over to the village and drink at bars and pitch water balloons at the hipsters. And you can listen to my obscenely huge record collection. Or I could just tie you up and tickle you until you piss on the floor so I can use your urine to cast spells against your ancestors MUAHAHAHAAH :) >LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO >OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO >OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO >OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO >OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO > > > >Thats an interesting point.
