To the girl who ran off with my toy orange, special effects glasses - not cool

Yeah I know you thought they were cool and fun to look through when high and a party. But they aren't yours. I set them out for you to play with, not run away with and never return. I was having a great time being a VJ at a fun "Burning Man" like LA decompression. You were obviously not experienced in Burning Man sharing.

If someone found silver plastic, toy goggles/glasses with spin-able orange special effects lenses in them, message me. I bought them at a science museum store and Google hasn't been able to find their replacements.

Thanks,
.... Oh, and I had a blast contributing to the La Decom as a performer in a camp. For those of you who didn't like the lack of parking (what was with those stupid "no parking" signs?), I suggest making a camp next time. No Spectators Allowed I say!!!

  • That is NOT cool...

    We had a guy in a Hawaiian shirt come into our jewelry tent TWICE and scoop up handfuls of semi precious stones (not cheap) and walk away with them...

    When a campmate politely told him, the second time round, that the purpose was to make jewelry HERE (one for him and one to place on our gifting shelf), he scowled at her, "I got what I needed" and walked away... Oh how I wished I had been there then... HA!

    I hope you get your glasses back :)
    • Ugh, those who just don't get it. The joys of having decom in such a publicly visable place. I hope both the girl with the glasses and the hawaiian shirt guy got something from the fest, other than material goods.

        I hope they both got crabs!

          Oh, come on! Thats a bit overkill, dont you think? To wish bad upon these souls, seems detrimental. No, Im not excusing these people's actions, but lets not add to the negative that was created. Wishing someone ill is coming down to the level of negativity that these people were obviously influenced by.

          Incidentally, LA Decom cant give you all of what the "burner community' has to offer. It's LA, people! Its the inner city, urban landscape. You are bound to have (like BM on the weekends) a few people that dont get it. They may get it eventually or thier minds may be so closed that they cant even have a desire to "get it". All you can do is utilize those street smarts you have on any other day in LA. Keep it in the back of your mind, ready for use should you be someone that needs it.
          • I agree to no negative wishes. But it's still up to us to remind our friends and strangers that things could be different if they just got their heads out of their asses.
            • But what about the positive impact on the crabs' lives? Those people seem to have ideal warm squishy places, perfect to make millions of little crabs happy.
              • Nick's right, all it takes is the sacrifice of a single person to house and feed these displaced crabs. Who desperately need it. Crabs have it really tough. Every time they settle in somewhere they're booted out the next day. Imagine if every time you got a new house or apartment someone shaved the roof right off your home!

                I think as super enlightened elevated concious burners we should recognize the state of the crabs are in today if not out of compassion, then out of concern for what the dwindled crab population has been doing to our ecosystem. And we should do something about it! Helping crabs isn't a spectator sport folks!

                Now it sounds like the guy who got his glasses stolen, and the people at the jewelery booth are already contributing. So I think it's only fair we delegate the housing of crabs to the fat guy who stole the stones, and the girl who stole the glasses.

                I know just housing crabs isn't much, and you may think doesn't make up for the stolen glasses and jewelery. But good nature is contagious imagine how many more people they could inspire to give these little guys a home.
                • Chains is right, we all need to band together to have a craft fair to make miniature orange special effects glasses for the greasy Hawaiian guy and Clepto-tard's new crab infestation. Crabs need someone to help them because they can't make their own orange special effects glasses. This is due to their little tiny pinchers and lack of access to resources. Speaking of, no one should not have access to resources because they have tiny pinchers. If you agree with this then repost it as your status for the rest of the day.
