$1.25 Fishnets

2009-11-05T21:46:24Z

I usually not a big supporter of Walmart, but.................

Halloween stuff is on sale (75% off) - now is the best time to stock up on fish nets and face paint. Both make fantastic playa gifts.

$ .75 cent black fishnets
$1.25 colored fishnet leggins and gloves - purple, blue and orange
$ .25 cent face paint tubes - you know the kind that stains your skin and won't come off.

Can someone tell me why this stuff is not on sale in August?

nestle putting water plant in sacramento

2009-11-02T20:34:30Z

so tonight i went and watched this documentary. one of the city counsel members was at the screening and informed us that nestle is going to put a bottled water plant here in Sacramento. basically they will be taking our water and selling it back to us, in plastic bottles that not only pollute the environment but can poison the water.
watch the link, and help take action to stop this plant from taking sacramentos water.

http://...www.screamtobegreen.com/2009/04/tapped-documentary-on-bottled-water/

Do you drink bottled water? Do you know people who drink bottled water? Watch this trailer to the new doc called “TAPPED.” I hate that there is a generation of children being raised right now that only knows bottled water. WTF people – it’s called an immune system. You’ll be okay if you drink tap water. Really – you’ll live. Your kids won’t be mutants. Well – maybe they will from ingesting so much plastic from the bottled water.

Yeah – I know – there are cons to municipal treated water as well, but I think the pros definitely out weigh the cons. Let’s look at bottled water. Most of it comes in plastic bottles. Plastic is made from oil. Plastic leaches into the water. A lot of bottled water is just repackaged tap water (i.e. Dasani and Aquafina). Water is heavy to ship, thus using more oil. If you’re a fancy pants, you’re not drinking this “tap water.” You opt instead for Fiji water because it comes in a fancy square bottle and is shipped from Fiji (where a large percentage of islanders don’t have access to safe drinking water). Perhaps you are even more fancy pants than that and you drink San Pelligrino. Oooh…but glass recycles better than plastic and doesn’t leach. Correct – but it’s heavy – damn heavy! Oh…and it’s a Nestle brand…like they need another water brand. Nestle is like the Phillip Morris of water. San Pelligrino, Perrier, Vittel, Ice Mountain, Deer Park, Poland Spring, Deer Park, Zephyrhills, and of course, plain old Nestle.

When I was growing up, no one drank bottled water. Some might have taken old milk jugs to the grocery store to fill up for $0.25 from their filtered water. Perrier and Evian were the only bottled waters you could buy. Then sometime in the late 80’s it started catching on more and more. At some point there was a mindset projected on the population that you were a bad person if you didn’t drink bottled water. I just don’t understand it.

Water is a precious commodity – protect it – drink it – from the tap. I know it’s hard to believe here in the good old U.S. of A. that there will be wars fought for water, but there will be. It’s the next oil, you know (which we need to package the water for you).

Pictures from Decompression?/Missing Pink Sony Camera

2009-10-23T02:35:00Z

My camera mysteriously went missing after the fashion show; did anyone mistakenly take home a pink Sony camera? Is there anyone I can contact for other lost and found items? One of my friends is missing a white tank top and a pair of jeans - what can I say it was a pretty awesome party.

Does anyone have any pics from Decompression they can share?

Thanks Jana

Art Car Fabrication

2009-09-15T05:44:28Z

Hey All,

I am thinking of building an art car for Burningman next year. I was wondering if there were any "burner friendly" places around for sheet metal fabrication and work space. I am in the investigation stage right now, looking into what I would need, if I have the resources available, etc. Any info on places around the Sacramento area that could help with this I would appreciate it!

Thanks,

ride needed for Sculpture installation from Sac to Black Rock City

2009-09-09T18:45:04Z

hello,
I am in need of a ride for a sculpture piece to the Burn. I have no photos of the sculpture right now but can give a brief description..

It is approx 6 ft tall X 3 feet wide with a depth of maybe 2 1/2 feet. It is a large wooden shadowbox with a sculpture inside of a treewoman/goddess decorated with bones and shells and wood.

Unfortunately my friends RV is broken down and wont be able to transport it as originally planned so im trying to find a last minute ride for it. The piece is in Sacramento and i need to get it out there preferably monday or tuesday at the latest

It is very important to me to get it out there so it can be featured in a community altar @ Entheon Village.

I would be happy to contribute gas $$$ and/ or trade/ barder to anyone willing to help me get it out there.

Thank you to anyone who can help and happy Burn!

SacBurners gear trade and bbq event Planning

2009-08-04T23:07:29Z

As I sift through my gear for burning man, I find I have things I dont need and would like to pass them on to burners only. I thought it would be fun to all get together for a BBQ in the park preburn for a burner swap. I would normally just bring the stuff to the burn but I have through the years learned to pack lighter for the trip and leave this stuff behind, its time to pass it on.
My plan is to bring my bbq and my stuff and lots of burner spirit and hope you all come. If you have things you want to share or sell I think that would be good too.

Help me plan this out, I think it would be fun!

BRC 2009 Map is Out

2009-07-18T17:45:17Z

From the Burningman Website.....

BLACK ROCK CITY 2009 MAP
For your planning pleasure, here is the Black Rock City Map for 2009.

http://www.burningman.com/media/doc/preparation/maps/09_maps/2009_BRC...

Shaded areas reserved until 11:59 pm, Sunday August 30th for
registered, placed theme camps, and also includes some space held back
for the general public. After that, all unoccupied camping areas of
BRC become available to all.

This year's street names will be:

Esplanade
Adapt
Biology
Chaos
DNA
Extinct
Fossil
Genome
Hominid
Inherit
Jurassic
Kinship
Lineage

Center Camp ring road: Evolution

2009 BLACK ROCK CITY PLAN

We received a great deal of feedback critical of the expanded size of
the 2008 city, so it’s "deja vu all over again” as we return to nearly
the same, smaller footprint of 2007, in the same BLM-mandated location
of the Black Rock Desert. The distance from the inner-most road to the
Man is down from 2700 to just 2100 feet, so a hop, skip, and a jump
should get you from theme camp Esplanade frontage to the Man.

CENTER CAMP CHANGES

This year Center Camp will be smaller than 2008, but we’re not
throwing the baby out with the gray water: we are compromising
precisely between 2007 and 2008 for the size of Center Camp.

Are codes the problem or artists?

2009-07-15T18:54:58Z

This morning after my swim I stopped for a coffee.....which I stopped drinking months ago. It must have been fate.

As I'm drinking it, I notice the local newspaper container and on the front page the title "Artists look at packing up & moving from West Sac." Instantly I knew it was referring to Horse Cow. Well, because it is West Sacramento and we just aren't known for our art. I scrambled to find the change to buy the full story and dug right into the article. My daughter listened to my rant and raves as I blurted them out at each paragraph.

I am so disappointed in the City of West Sacramento for trying to shut down an artist's facility on the basis of codes. It's an old warehouse. This is an old community with many older homes that are most likely violating the same codes that Horse Cow is being black listed for. If the city was that concerned with unsafe structures and wiring, wouldn't it behoove them to check all of the warehouses in the area? Is it really the codes or the fact that having a facility that brings in other people that might not be considered "the norm" is a greater concern to the community? Horse Cow has been residing at their current location since 2007. Two years later, when West Sacramento is trying to further implement eminent domain to clean up the reputation of the city, a haven for artists just doesn't fit in with their vision.

Not to worry though, I'm sure they will go after the local theater company next. After all, we wouldn't want to teach our youth to have the ability for free self-expression. They might further grow as an artist. And they might, just might learn to think for themselves.

BM Theme Camp Looking for Participants - Astral Headwash

2009-06-25T16:54:08Z

Hi,

Participate this year by being part of the theme camp that folks wait in line for over in hour for our gift. Yes, a cool headwash out on the playa is that good! We are Astral Headwash, been on the playa for 12 years and this year we have some spots open. If you want to haul out your own shade, shower, chairs, tables, sinks, and hate playing in water in the heat of the day, we are not the camp for you. However, if you would like to make your trip out a little less of you hauling stuff, and want to be part of a camp where everyone has an equal time to gift and get out and have fun, we might be. We only ask that you be part of setup or take down (and we start take-down Saturday so burn nights are yours) and a few days during the week from about noon to 5pm. Our focus is not to make camp work but rather to focus on the fun

We need folks to help us run this year. And, BRC needs participants to help make it the special place it is. There are dues (to cover water, shampoo goods, gas, storage) but they are less than half the cost of a ticket. And water includes camp drinking water.

And, if you have never been early to watch the city grow we still have a couple spots open for early entery to help set up.

If you think you might want to come participate with use, shot me a line.

Thanks

Monkeypoo is BACK in California!!!

2009-05-26T09:02:57Z

Hey y'all !! Gee, I hope folks remember me... Mundane name is Donita and I used to live here in the Sacramento area 3-4 years ago. Then I moved to North Carolina. Then my house burned down the day after Christmas and my daughter had her baby, so I thought to myself, "Self? I think it's time you went back home to California. The weather is freezing a$$ cold here in NC, you have a new baby grandson, your daughter needs you, and you'll really be traveling light, so why not go? Plus, you'll be only 5 hours away from BurningMan again!!" It feels good to be back. I'm living with my daughter in Citrus Heights and spoiling my grandbaby with oodles of kisses. Sir William of Recycled Rainbow and Transformus dubbed me Grannypoo. :) PS: While I was away, I lost 140 pounds.

Peace & Sunshine,
Donita/Monkeypoo/Grannypoo

Peace!

Stone Soup at PermaBurn June 5th, 6th & 7th

2009-05-21T22:52:56Z

Don't let the default financial world drag you down. Join us where the air is fresh and money doesn't matter! Get away from it all by attending Stone Soup at PermaBurn.

What : Stone Soup 2009 Camp-out at PermaBurn

When : June 5th, 6th & 7th (early and late camping is fine)

Where : Madeline, California - 60 miles north of Susanville

Entrance Fee : 0.00, nada, FREE!

For all the details, directions and updates...

http://suddendisruption.blogspot.com/search/label/Stone%20Soup

RSVP camp, art plans and head count to...

sudden.net@gmail.com

Soup's On!

Great news in a down year - the second UNofficial Reno Regional Burn and camp-out is now official!

Considering our Burned out economy, some may not even make it to the playa this year. Others have asked for a spring camp-out for Burners. So we're headed back to PermaBurn! And to keep it totally FREE, we're using the Stone Soup approach.

For those who didn't join us last year, PermaBurn is 640 acres of northern California being organized as permanent art installations by a Burner named Greg Glover from the east coast. In the spirit of Burning Man, Greg has gifted this volcanic caldera for the weekend with virtually no restrictions on how we wish to express ourselves.

Just like on the playa, and as in the story Stone Soup, WE get to add all the rest. Since the pre-announcement a few days ago, I've had feedback from over 40 people volunteering to put this thing together. The soup is already gaining some excellent flavor...

Club Verboten Comes to PermaBurn!

Yep. The very same tent you saw at the 4:30 plaza last year; the club known for stopping traffic and plugging up the streets of Black Rock City will be erected in the center camp area at PermaBurn Friday afternoon, June 5th.

Tim Hunter himself (aka Omar Suarez) will be spinning the music as well as providing a venue for other DJs. So far we have offers from DJ Reality of Camp Ellipsis, BabebyBay(Betsy) from the bay area and D6 from Reno. You guys need to check in with Tim (thunter885@aol.com) unless you plan to set up your own venues. Whatever your taste, we'll have some excellent music coming out of this volcano, and at least one fully enclosed club in which to enjoy it.

From Omar...

We look forward to setting up,for the first time ever outside BRC,at this years Stone Soup.Thanks to Comrade Sudden for the leadership in getting it together,Our club is known for retro techno based dance parties.Can't change formula here but hopefully we can incorporate all the dj talent we have coming.What we have in mind is a weekend program...."Evolution of Techno Beats".

Friday 1966-1984........ Garage/Psych to UK glam to Disco to CBGBS

Saturday-1984- 2009....... 80's syntho pop,90's dance, late 90's House classics,present day electronica and current techno pop. all times to be determined We hope all djs will find something they like and let me know as soon as they can. peace Omar

Reno Poly Camp - Actually, it's the Northern Nevada Polyamory Support group, and they will hold their June meeting at Stone Soup as well as host a Saturday evening pack-it-in, pack-it-out, lick-your-plate pot-luck. They will also lead discussions on alternate lifestyles. Contact Teresa Werner with any question or contribution at... terwer42@yahoo.com

I will post details here as I get them. So link back for updates from time to time. More importantly, email me with YOUR plans so I can help you hook up with others and coordinate similar activities. Let me know if I can post your name, email and or phone number here. Plus I'll need a head count for the potty plans, so...

Furr Ball Pictures

2009-05-05T01:07:05Z

I finally found the time to post a gallery of images from the Furr Ball.

Unfortunately, I didn’t get pictures of many of the excellent costumes there due to being hidden from view off in a corner. On the other hand, due to this detriment I was able to get out and see some of the things I would usually miss.

http://ajpn.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=306

Sorry about the delay. In case you didn't know I am in the process of opening a studio in Auburn. Feel free to stop by at 985 Lincoln Way #204. You might want to call first as I'm not keeping very reliable hours yet. (530)885-5375

Pop-up tent trailer for good burner home

2009-03-16T23:31:49Z

Hi all,

I have a very sentimental 1974 pop-up tent trailer that I have used a couple of times at Burningman. "Her" name is Frida (in honor of Frida Kahlo ) and she has some issues... the cable system on the one side is broken and the wiring on the brake lights does not work correctly, the canvas is no good either. It is called a "Swinger" because the stove and sink swing outward. The stove and water could be hooked up to work as well.

Other than that she is in OK good shape. She has new tires and bearings, the trailer is in great shape, she is painted on the inside pink orange and green, cushions, metal counters, some fun painting on a couple of sides and a blank white on the others. The canvas is shot and we just covered it in sheets for Burning Man and it worked out great.

If you are a handy person you could probably fix the cabling and the wiring.

I've recently bought a dome and am using that now for my campsite so its time to let Frida go. I know there is some work to do so I'm looking for best offer or some trade or if you have a great plan for her we can talk.

My biggest concern is that I want her to stay as a burning man project and stay in the "family." She resides in Sacramento and you would have to come pick it up.

If you have any interest email me at kristen@metalphoria.com and I can send you some photos.

Thanks
Kristen

Cheap Storage Space in Sacramento?

2009-03-04T04:16:40Z

Howdy all,

our camp is looking at moving our storage location from SF to Sacramento. We are looking for a 10x12 space. Before I go looking around I thought I might ask to see if anyone new of any inexpensive places around town that I should look into. With the stuff being playa-fied a fancy rental place isnt too important.

Thanks!

Banned From the Burning Man Tribe

2009-02-10T20:23:12Z

I too have been banned for saying I disagreed that the current little man of a moderator was unfair for banning Cowboy Angel and FKO. Granted, I am friends with CWA and to be honest I don't like FKO. But to ban people at will for no real reason at all is ridiculus.

I truly believe that everyone on this site needs to make a stand and write to:

abuse@tribe.net

And

wendy@tribe.net

And make their opinion known. Moist Pup aka Moderator as moderator of the BM tribe needs to GO.

Please do your part.

December Social

2008-12-06T14:07:43Z

So, Kids and Kidlets, Boys and Girls, Men, Women, or whatever you might be.....
it is time to start thinking about the wonderful month of December and it's SVB social. That's right... time to make plans for getting together yet again.
(didnt we just do this? we gotta do it again?) HEY, I heard that!!
ANYWAY - ....
Yeah, sooo....
December 6th is the lucky day.
6:30 until ?? is the lucky time.
The Streets of London Pub in West Sacramento, 2200 Lake Washington Blvd, is the lucky place.
WE are the lucky people!!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

There is a caveat to all this.... isn't there always?
This is the same date that the Sacramento Cacophony Society is hosting their Santa Con/Walk/Whatever this event is called..... I really dont like competing with other fun events, but there is no real way to avoid such in all cases.

We have two options - those that want to get together and socialize as SVBers, that is.... one, we do our social at the Streets of London as I wrote above... or, we join the Santas - caveat here is that everyone must be Santa'd, elf'd, Mrs Claus'd out in some way or another.... their rules, not mine.

The Black Sabkha BRC 2009

2008-09-23T19:32:03Z

In 2006 a bar was created called the Eplaya bar.
After a planed 2007-2008 revamp of the bar
it now emerges as the Black Sabkha Night Club
The first night club of its kind in Black Rock City,

As the Black Sabkha asserts it self as a leading bar
when it comes to drinks of the mixed, muddled and shaken variety.
A combination of quality Ingredients, skill and enthusiasm
are what we believe is the making of a classic drink.
We will like to shake things up on a regular basis.
By changing the Drink menu but the first thing you will notice
is the exclusion of some of your favorites,
but rest assure, Black Sabkha does them, and does them well.
From the mai tai to the martini, anything goes.

In the Kitchen food is simple but well executed.
Serving up a selection of food with a taste of the exotic.
Chefs will be preparing some truly tasty and heartwarming foods.
Sitting down and sharing freshly cooked meals each day
is something we cherish.

Since the Black Sabkha inception Music has been a key factoring
in the creation of the Club.

The Black Sabkha creates an Intimate Setting
for down tempo, jazz, blues and live performers.

Following the performance examples from Mutaytor:
“We are artists, musicians, and technicians
dedicated to bringing you spectacles of sound and vision
from beyond imagination.”

Body Suit

2008-09-03T14:57:50Z

Hey there Burners.
I am looking for a full body suit for an artistic project after Burning Man. I need it to be flixible and to cover my WHOLE body, including head and face. It needs to be tan/pink and I have to be able to breathe and see through it.

Has anyone worn one of these before? WHat was it like being in there? I found a couple of places where it seems like they make the suit from a liquid material. Does anyone know where I can find a company that will make the color I need? How bout prices.....eek way expensive huh?

ANY anectodal notes would be MUCH appreciated :)

Free Bike! (for you last minute burners)

2008-08-24T21:07:11Z

I'm not going this year sadly, but what I am doing is moving to a tiny one bedroom apartment with no garage. So my thought is that the once-a-year playa bike would probably have a better home with you since you ARE going this year and probably have room for it at your place =)

Its already decorated too, albeit decorated for Green Man all covered in ivy and green L-wire, but I'm sure it'll fit in just fine.

Anyways, its a mid-size mountain bike with those super-duty inner-tubes in it and the gears and brakes work well enough for playa usage.

So yeah, just drop me a line.

I'm in Roseville btw

Great place for re-bar in Sac

2008-08-12T06:43:45Z

There's a place called JJ's Re-Bar off of Florin-Perkins in South Sac. They supplied me nicely and even put a candy cane hook on the end so I'd be less likely to kill myself in the middle of the night. I highly recommend them.

August SVB social -- Saturday, August 9

2008-08-08T21:49:51Z

I'm hosting the August SVB social again at my house.. It's a potluck -- please bring a side dish or dessert to share. I'll supply ice, soft drinks (Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, root beer), cups, plates, napkins and plastic-ware. You're welcome to bring alcohol and smokers can use the backyard.

I'm in Rancho Cordova, near Hwy. 50 and Mather Field. Please contact me at sinfulcat@aol.com to get my address, phone number and directions. If you use "August party" in the subject line, your e-mail be easier to identify if you get caught in my spam filter. I plan to send reminders to everyone who contacted me last month.

Though a small group last month, I think it was a good group of people and we had fun. I hope you'll come in August if you can.

Greetings!

I'm excited to announce that we have finally arrived!
Sacramento's First Fire Spectacular!!!!!
August 8th and August 9th, 2008

Please show your support for our creative efforts. We have been working many long hours on this Festival in an attempt to bring together Sacramento's Fire Dance community and to offer you a truly amazing experience. We are excited to bring together, for the first time Live Music, Fire Dance, and ART all put on by Sacramento Local ARTists, for the Sacramento ART community. This is the budding of a Sacramento based Fire ARTs Community. Your support is greatly appreciated! Please feel free to forward this to your friends and help us make this festival go off with a Fiery Bang!

The event is funded in part by SMAC (Sacramento Municipal ARTs Commission), Obsidian Butterfly, Drumsum, and hosted by The Brickhouse ART Studios, with creative contributions from the Horse Cow Gallery.

What's Happening?

The event will kick off Friday night with the 888 Fire Gala beginning at 8:08pm and featuring Sacramento's New Fire and Dance Talent as well as an invited guest, the Fire Dolls. The evening will conclude with a truly spectacular performance by Obsidian Butterfly accompanied with Live music by Drumsum.

On Saturday we have a day of creative festivities to offer!

Please join us at 1pm for an hour of Ecstatic Flow Yoga (bring a yoga mat), guided by Sequoia.

Demitra Washington, who is a Holistic Health Practitioner, will be available on hand from 2-4pm for Holistic Body Work, Acupressure, and Balancing Sessions.

An open music and drum circle (acoustic only, bring your own instrument) will begin at 6pm to kick off the Bike Circus.

If you plan on participating in the Bike Circus or the Drum Circle, please arrive by 5:30pm at the Brickhouse ART Studios. Bring your bike, decorate your bike, and come ride around with us for Second Saturday. We will visit several different galleries on the grid, with a surprise Obsidian Butterfly performance at the Sacramento ART Complex on 21st and K street, before we head back to the Brickhouse for the Fire Spectacular's Fiery Finale; The Burning Fire Yantra!

There will be vending and an open Gallery on Friday night during the Fire Gala as well as throughout the day and evening on Saturday.
