Alpinfox Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 The middle of the desert in Nevada in mid-August? Surrounded by patchoulli-soaked trustafarians? SOUNDS GREAT! Quote
fenderfour Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 Certain prophylactic products can prevent "the burn". Certain antibiotics can releive it. Quote
Billygoat Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I can understand that being around painted, nekkid people can be intimidating, but why the long face PAX? Quote
AlpineK Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 Certain prophylactic products can prevent "the burn". Certain antibiotics can releive it. What about the itch and the swelling?? Quote
snugtop Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I felt the burn on the gravitron last night... Quote
JoshK Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 I can't imagine anything I would want to go to less than that... Well, yeah, maybe the Republican National Convention. Quote
Kitergal Posted August 16, 2005 Posted August 16, 2005 yeah..I like the cold more than the heat....I'll pass as well! But make sure to post lots of pictures...I've heard there's some great wack jobs that go!! photos from a distance are always entertaining! Quote
Off_White Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 I've had friends go a bunch of years ago, and some others who live in Truckee who are thinking to go this year. It actually sounds like a pretty entertaining iteration of the Earth Circus and the people watching is pretty fabulous. I like that sort of public group art and wierdness expression, it would be worth it just to check out the various bizarre vehicles. I expect it was better years ago when it was fully subculture, instead of getting written up in Time and Newsweek. The heat would just add a surreal edge, though I am a fully acclimated Northwesterner who's idea of a great beach is one that includes shade. But no, I'm not going down there. Are you LG? If so, take pictures and tell stories. Quote
adventuregal Posted August 17, 2005 Posted August 17, 2005 The shop I work at has been fixing up people's junker bikes for it... talk about a pain in the ass! Quote

If so, take pictures and tell stories. yeah; i think i'm going. i'm not really into the whole freaky people subculture thing (whatever that is), but a friend who knows me pretty well said i would love it and has been trying to get me to go for years. the art cars and structures are supposed to be amazing, and i'm looking forward to seeing some of the results of unleashed creativity. i'm only going for a few days. i think i can handle a few days in the desert ... even if i am surrounded by a bunch of naked weirdos.
