Art Car Help =)

Tallin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 17:53:49 GMT

Hey guys, I'm in the process of building a new art car for the 2010 burn and was wondering if anyone had any of the following materials/items they would be interested in donating:
1 1/2" PVC Schedule 40 or 80 pipe
1 1/2" Slip Slide Tee's
1", 1 1/2" or 2" Square aluminum pipe
Any type of conductive and shielded copper wire (color and gauge don't really matter, it's an art car ;)
Speaker wire
Old speakers
5+ HP go cart engine
Bike or motor cycle chain
Old motor cycle or mountain bike parts / gears

So basically the concept is a complete walking vehicle, no wheels what so ever, 12 legs, measuring 13 feet long, 10 feet wide, 12 feet tall, seats 5-6. I've pretty much figured out how to get a 100 percent fluid movement to where its not clunky like others I have seen and its remains perfectly level with no up and down bumpy travel!! I have the plans drawn up and have been in the R&D stage for a couple months to the point where I got the mechanics of it figured out. I have the electrical system(s), clutch brake steering system and sound systems all designed as well...So now its go time for the complete working fabrication and then decoration to begin, after all I only have 320 days left till the man burns =)

If you would like to follow the progress I will be posting pictures on my facebook page located here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?id=1596036726&aid=2027336

Also, not that I need to bribe my fellow burners but I make stickers (among other things, I run a large format printing company) for several camps on playa (Crazy Horse, Purple Palace and a few others). Anyone that is able to help me out I would be more than willing to print 500-1000 stickers for YOUR camp and or a banner or two as trade =) If not hit me up on the playa for a ride anyway! Much love

LA Welders, where are you?

dianakaufmann — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:53:55 GMT

I was wondering of there was a consortia of welders, or a welding studio, or anything of the sort on the LA burner community. It's been a while since I've welded, but I know how to weld with oxy, stick, MIG and TIG. All the welding burners I know are in Oakland and San Francisco, and I'd like to get to know some LA burners, and maybe get involved on a project or two.

Learn how to spin a fire staff using JEdi mind tools.

Rif — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 23:15:03 GMT

Hi everybody, I'm Ryan. I'm also Rif, depending on the HPPM* factor.

Here's the short version of what I hope to share with you. You can learn to move like a Jedi with a Bo staff, faster than you would have ever thought possible, using the power of your mind. Yes you, regardless. Intrigued?

Where? This Saturday Oct 17 at 2 and 4 pm, on the beach near the grassy gymnastic area, just south of the Santa Monica pier. The weather is going to be nice. I'll have a ton of extra staves, so bring friends, let's make a day of it. Speaking of friends, please forward this to anyone you think might be interested.

Here's the longer version.

For the past five years I've been working in addiction recovery, developing a system called MindLighter. I am really excited by the results, and want to share what we've learned with you. If you've ever even remotely wanted to spin fire, or wished you could move like Neo, Mindlighter makes that happen. Guaranteed. Please do not read that as anything other than the complete confidence born from seeing it happen over and over. It just works. What I'm really interested in sharing are the mental tools. They're designed to help navigate this crazy shifting world.

The shifting is due to the fact that we are figuring out how to live in a brand new world, one fully immersed in technology. Being aware of this shift, gives us all the advantages of being Human Version 2.0. Texting, Email and GPS definitely make life easier, but the real gift of computers comes from the reference point they give us regarding our own astonishing capabilities. NASA has a Super-Computer that somehow managed to safely land an operational remote control truck on Mars, that's a remarkable achievement. Now see if you can accept the fact that your brain is thousands of times more powerful than the computer that accomplished that feat. (I'm still working on that one.)

The best part is that it is incredibly simple to harness that power and put it to work for you. Computers give us a clear window into how our own internal CPU's work. Don't be put off by the tech talk. If you can send an Email, you already have all the knowledge you need to make this system work for you.

The Bo staff is the tool we use to prove these theories. It's simplicity allows you to use it as a lever to unlock your the potential of your mind. Staff spinning is incredibly fun. So along with gaining a no-cost hobby, you also get an intriguing new game. As you use your mind to unlock Jedi level moves, your new endorphin powered understanding allows you to unlock even more of your untapped potential. Then you take all of that to work with you and confidently apply your Jedi Mindset to nailing that big presentation that saves the world. By the way, we use lightweight, often padded sticks in order to keep the ouch factor to a minimum.

(Ok, have to say it.) But wait, there's more. Staff spinning is also a complete core workout, and is low impact to boot. Shoulders, Arms and Abs gain shape and definition, calories are burned, energy is increased. Your Super-Hero body shows up. This may be the best part, you get in shape while you're having fun. It is definitely not another trudge on the dreadmill. So you'll stick with it. (I also study Pun-Fu, be warned.) Classes are filled with incredibly interesting people, so it's a fun social outlet as well.

I really believe in this, so to eliminate any resistance, let's do this. Let's make the first class Pay-what-you-want-to. If it's not for you, pay nothing. You have nothing to risk except an hour of your time. It just might upgrade your entire life. Clinical clients have used it beat Heroin and Cocaine cravings. Another has used it to lose 180 pounds. If it works on that level, what could it do for you? Looking forward to seeing you there.

Thanks!

Ryan.

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

Vhilm — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 18:16:41 GMT

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!!!

So, how was your decompression?

13moonflower — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 00:56:57 GMT

all i can say is...thank god for Greensector stage and all the other dj's and artists who rocked it out and made my heart and soul soar, after dealing with a) traffic, b) two other major events happening in the same area as DeCom (??!!), c) pushy policemen, d) somewhat clueless security at the door of DeCom.....

man, was i happy to get a HELLO! and a hug from a beautifully dressed greeter-sister!

sorry, but this year's deCom (outside perimeter?) felt way more fascist and annoying than any year i can remember.....too much public coming in? too much publicity? somethin'.......once inside the fence.......felt much better......'cept for the helicopter circling us like something out of 'Escape from New York'.......

i was in such a good mood and ready to see all of my friends and trying to be 'good' and got by most of the cops ok, etc.....and then bammo! i got snatched and fucked with on the way in for *gasp* crossing the street! then waited in one line to get in while the other line flowed quite smoothly...while the line i was in suddenly stopped because the workers were being trained on "how to search bags" while we all stood there and waited!

i've worked this event as a volunteer for 2 or 3 years, and never ever ever have i seen or had to experience such crappola on the way in to one of the best parties in town......i know, i know....our law enforcement and workers are doing their best to keep us safe, yadda-yadda-yadda.....their also part of our "community" etc.etc.etc.......well, get the shit together......ain't no fun running the gauntlet or feeling like check-point charlie on the way into such a low-key event......felt like nazi bouncers and door people at high-end events at pretentious clubs!

and another thing.....since when do "burners" feel it's ok to take things just because they're playing with them at the end of the night,etc...? if you're playing with someone else's hoola-hoop....don't just assume you can take it! case in point: last night i had to convince a girl to leave the hoop for the rightful owner......five minutes later, the girl showed up and was happy to find her hoop leaning on the stage.......such behavior is unbecoming and quite telling.......If it Ain't Yours, Don't Take It

sorry, i had to get that two-cents-vent out!! luckily, yet again, last night a "dj saved my life"! peace..................

Funchux, a fire arts organisation for the people!

Funchux — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 01:43:10 GMT

The Funchux campaign is to produce the world's highest quality fire-performance gear at low prices. Our mission is to provide everyone with super affordable, great looking high-performance gear so they don't have to settle for dishing out $60-$160 on a single item to some big company that spent all of $9-$20 wholesale price on the materials and 20 minutes to produce it. In today's economy, people shouldn't be forced to spend an arm and a leg in order to receive fire toys which have been finely made by experienced craftsmen. Funchux is not some corporation, but an idea. Bringing people together and advancing the technology of fire performance equipment. Our philosophy is simple: build fire toys at the lowest prices possible without sacrificing quality, and sell each piece at the price which allows x 2 of the specific object to be built and resold. (Example: It costs us $18 to build a set of Firechux and we sell them for $36) When 1 object is sold, it creates 2 objects, and so on. As we all put in a small amount, we all get something great out of it. As our campaign grows it will allow us to continuously lower the pricing of our toys.

Any persons interested in helping us achieve our goals, contact us at Funchux@live.com OR add us on Myspace!

not Burning Man 2009

Jason — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 22:10:47 GMT

We at camp notwildaboutit had a fine time at not Burning Man in the Mojave. Our wicker man was small and our numbers below 100, but it had the proto-burn essence I have always wondered about. A can do make it happen attitude. Our modest propane poofers were the only propane flame effects, and it was fun to contribute. As one of 50,000 one is lost, as one in 100 one makes a difference. Met great people, came home happy. Love the small burn, may regional burns thrive. Thank you Ricky and Athena!

If you created an account to add events before the burn, or created an account while at PlayaInfo, you will be able to still log in with the same info. All the theme camps and art from this year are there, and with Flickr, you can add images to the thing it's associated with.

For example you can see the Rocket here:
http://earth.burningman.com/brc/2009/art_installation/438/

But if you use the "machine-tag"
burningman:art=438

on Flickr, you can automatically associate your photo of the rocket with the art page. Flickr will link to earth.burningman.com's page about the rocket, and earth.burningman.com will automagically pull up the picture you took of it!

Here's a list of all the art:

It's burningman time, and I know a lot of folks are looking for those last minute ticket deals (even thought the event will not sell out this year). Me, just to b different, I'm manifesting a week at home. I can't afford to go to the burn, I would be a drag on the resources of people around me, I wouldn't have money for rent when I get back, and no one would be in town to keep two businesses running.

But people keep expecting me to go.

I don't want these expectations to become reality, so could people please help me manifest a nice busy week here in LA? I don't mind the hassle of figuring out how to deliver tools to the playa, nor do I mind restocking some store in Japan. I'd love to enter into contact negotiations with another movie. and I could do it all in air conditioning. So, please send some "stay at home" vibes my way.... ;oP

free travel trailer for the playa

manishie — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 14:40:45 GMT

okey dokey, my playa plans fell through last minute. so i'm giving up my cheapo travel trailer which i took to the playa 3 years ago. it's probably just worth a few hundred bucks and for the past few months i've had to pay $50 a month to park it. not worth it for me.

please note that i haven't tested any of this stuff in 3 years, so who knows what's fallen apart or been chewed up by rats.

so here's what you get for free.

* 50 year old 18' aljo travel trailer.
* slow roof leak, which leaks when water pools on the roof. so not a problem when you're driving. when you're parked, put the tarp on the roof (included for free).
* semi working plumbing. i replaced much of the plumbing myself so that the toilet and sink worked great. the pump was not strong enough for the shower. (the pump of course will require power - 12v or 110v). the fresh water tank cap blew off at the end of my trip, so you'll need to put a new one one. or to simplify life (or if you don't have power) just pour water down the toilet to flush it. the black and grey water tanks work fine.
* i never fixed up the propane, so i have no idea if it works. i wouldn't try the heater because it's fifty years old and who knows what it spews.
* if you have power, the fridge works. i have no idea if it works on propane, but it's supposed to.
* beds: the main double bed needs a mattress. there another single foldout where the dining table is. the other small fold down bunk above isn't very secure and i only used it to store stuff.
* tires - i bought new tires 3 years ago. there's one spare.
* brakes: i had all the brakes fixed up 3 years ago.
* lights - if you have 12v or 110 power, you can plug into the trailer directly and all the lights works.

here's what you can borrow for free, but i want it back. this is a heavier trailer (3 or 4 thousand pounds unloaded, without water), and if you don't know what this stuff is you probably shouldn't be towing the trailer.
* class 4 weight distributing hitch
* anti sway bar
* trailer brake control - you will need the wiring harness to connect this to your vehicle
* hydraulic jack

registration expires this week. i'll want to transfer title to you and you can renew at the dmv for the new tags. it's about $79/year.

the trailer is parked in lake view terrace, just off the 210 freeway, not too far from hansen dam.

lemme know asap.

Rebar in LA for a 2009 Burner

superkate — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 20:11:32 GMT

Hello fellow burners. I have about 10 pieces of 2 1/2 foot rebar. I want to give them to anyone who may use them. The only catch is that you must pick them up in Hollywood. I no longer have a means of transportation.
Please message me if you're interested.

Offering rideshares to BM from LA and back.

linusx — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 11:21:28 GMT

As the listing says, rides offered to Burning Man. Leaving for BRC at 8am on Thursday, Sept 03, returning Monday, Sept 07. Can you dig?

Cause you will pay by digging ditches, bitches. Just kidding. The cost will be $150 round trip. Can't bring a shitload of shit, but you know, reasonable. Bike, bag, tent, food, cooler. I can't imagine turning something really bitchin down though, so let me know. We will be traveling in a nice, rented and reliable RV. Don't worry about driving unless I'm nodding off. Please send your drugs up with a friend, as I cannot take the heat.

Give me a call or text or email or something...

NO CHRISTIANS PLEASE!!!...unless you're interesting, fun to laugh at, or you are interested in having a Christian camp next year.

Art Car Crew looking for fluffers

Chala — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 02:30:03 GMT

Ok- here's what's up- normally our camp is on the esplanade and we have a good presence. This year we've fallen apart. We usually bring the phonebooth to GOD- which is going to make it to the playa hosted by another camp. We have two art cars going and basically at this point our art car crew for both vehicles is only 4 guys and maybe one girl. I know - sausage fest - plus we need help loading and fluffing the fur, pillows and other softy things. Here is a link to one of our cars: http://tribes.tribe.net/bmmv/photos/7f202328-d184-4618-8c22-aa2a65e41386
So we are up in Ojai (hour 1/2 north of LA) and we would love to invite a few people who would be willing to do some work with us and prove your love....We are starting tomorrow and working till Sat. and hopefully loading Sat. and leaving in the eve. If you want to rideshare up to the playa even better since we have plenty of room for stuff on the trailers, and we have extra bikes, lights, etc... so really if you have the right vibe from a phone call and can put in a day or more of work before the burn, we could offer a crash pad in an rv up here in Ojai, a ride to the burn for a little gas money, but mostly a fabulous time touring the art around the playa and having a free ride with all the frills and some wonderful camp mates. Or you could come up and help a day and then caravan with us to BRC. A little more about us- aged 30-50, mostly 5 time or more-time burners, 420+ friendly, fun, worldly, and a little bit crazed.

Hey L.A., I have one space in my vehicle, leaving thursday eve. the 27th, to arrive on playa Friday morning. I know it's unlikely at this point that anyone who has an early arrival pass doesn't already have a ride to bring them to the playa, but if you or anyone you know doesn't yet and you have your own EA pass, I'm looking for a rider to share with gas and be good company.

Things that went quick last year were cigarettes (of course), blow pops, trial size hand lotion, lighters, and chapstick. If you would like to contribute any of these items or anything else that you would like to see on my tray, It would be much appreciated. Contact me and I'll make arrangments for a pick up.

Thanks, and I'll see you on the Playa, if not before.

BURNcast.TV Presents: In Loving Memory

DaB0mb — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:51:12 GMT

I have finally completed the video featuring members of our community and extended family who have passed away since last year's burn. It is available for viewing here:

http://burncast.blogspot.com/2009/08/burncasttv-presents-in-loving-memory.html

Creating this video was process of recovery for myself as well because it seems that every time I lost somebody I knew in my beloved community, it reminded me of the loss of the others who went before. Then to put together this piece, selecting images and music the accumulated grief and sadness became intense and I got spun.

I dedicate this video not only to all of you in my burning tribe, but to those I remember with love and gratitude: my father, my grandfathers, my grandmothers, my pets, my friends Otto, Davy, Ant'ny and many more. Ars gratia artis. Art for art's sake.

Namaste.

What's the best way to maximize my chances of having Internet acess? I couldn't find any info about this on the web site. Thanks so much!~Boadie

I wanted to do something with my hair this year (it's long) to protect it, make it easier to care for on the playa , and also look rad. the burningwoman tribe knows tons of options, but all San Fran people. I know many LA burners have their secret spots in southeast LA- care to share? I need to work with someone who understands playa issues. Most hair extension people seem to do the "Hollywood" thing - just long, fake hair- & the "alternative" salons like Purple Circle told me that if anything, their extension technique will make hair HARDER to care for at BM. Help!

18' Box truck for sale for playa transpo

crunchy — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 01:42:01 GMT

Hi all,
A few of you have asked me about it, so I figured I'd post here to pass around. The band just isn't using our 18' Box Truck (I need to move bodies and we use trailers), so if you were planning on plunking a few grand on renting a truck for the playa, our truck is for sale.

I'm planning on listing it this week. It's been out to Burning Man twice and though it's not fancy, it's a workhorse of a truck (former USPS truck), and Badass Brad has vouched for it's engine (he was the main reason I bought it in the first place saying it was a great engine).

**18' Box Truck
**Working Lift Gate
**Caterpillar/Volvo Engine (I'll get the specs tomorrow if you need specifics)
**Low mileage - I'll get the exact numbers, but I think it's around 150K
**We had about $4K of work done over the last 2 years including new tires and had the air brakes redone
**just renewed the tags so you're good for another year, but you'll have to apply for a new CA sticker from the CHP

Asking $10,000 or best offer

Call crunchy at 213-718-7374
or email me at crunchy(at)mutaytor(dot)com

Let me know asap as I need to post a list on Craigslist this week.
thanks!

heading to the playa for my 7th Burn, and my fiance's 4th. Well versed in this stuff, but can anyone tell us where to get EL wire in LA? Everyplace I find on line is for on line sales only. No "brick and morter" places to pick stuff up? Also, totally dumb question, but, where can we get cheapo goggles. There are about 12 trillion little shops on upper Haight or South of Market in the city where you can find 8 dollar pairs of goggles, but can't find anything on line here. Figure if we can find these two items, we'll be able to find anything else we need.

I know there's a huge Burner crowd down here as I've met some very cool So Cal peeps out on the Playa. Where is everyone?

LA BURNER ELIAS aka ELIJAH SOROKIN MISSING--PLEASE HELP

Ann — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 22:48:38 GMT

Apparently one of our friends has gone missing. Here is a note from Minx Larsen about what is going on with Elias:

... he went up to Northern California for a few meetings and has not returned to LA. He was last seen Monday evening 7/20/09 around 8 pm in Oakland.

A text was received to my dear friend Andrea (his good friend and business partner) on Monday night at 10 pm that he would be arriving back to LA around 4 am, Tuesday morning. He has not been heard of since.

We have now found out that someone has tried to cash a falsified check (he carries his check book on him at all times) and tried to use his credit cards.

If you have any information, if you've seen him, anything at all. Please email me at minx006.9@gmail.com or call me 323-314-7200. Although, I'm happy for your best thoughts and well wishes please do not bombard my email or phone. I need relevant information at this time. I know all of your hearts are with us at this time.

Please post this to your facebook. Even if you do or don't know Elias.

We have filled a missing person and have a private investigator, we are looking for answers and need your help.

With all my heart,
Minx

Open letter to those who think "cooler raiding" is acceptable, or funny, or anything other than STEALING

mr_e — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:59:50 GMT

I know I'm cross-posting all over the place, but I’m angry and disappointed with my/our friends and I want your support so these individuals can examine and hopefully correct their behavior and thinking.

You are thieves of the worst kind. You are stealing from your friends, whom you often refer to as family, or at the very least your community. It is not cool, not acceptable, and I will expose you publicly to the wrath of the community if I catch you or hear you talking about it again. Furthermore, if any of my friend’s coolers get raided in the future, I will lead them to you, so you better not have anyone else's stuff in your possession.

I had conversations with two different individuals whom I know and previously respected. I have lost respect for both of you. You know who you are. I was shocked at how casually you mentioned that you were going to go and steal from my/our friends. One of you said that buying a ticket and bringing some stuff and setting up a camp and providing a space entitles you to do “whatever the fuck I want”. Are you fucking KIDDING me? Paying for a ticket to an event and bringing some beer and setting up a camp does NOT entitle you to do whatever the fuck you want. I was totally disgusted and deeply offended that you thought I'd condone such behavior. I debated exposing you publicly at Elysium, and again in this post, but decided I'd give you the benefit of the doubt now that you're sober and can consider the principle of Respect. You guys aren’t new either. You should know better. Respect is a cornerstone of our community, without it we’re no better than a bunch of frat boys on Spring Break.

I don't know how or why you would get the idea that cooler raiding is fun or cool or acceptable, but I'm fairly certain that I speak for the vast majority of this community (Back me up, here, peeps!) when I say you need to get your heads on straight. There’s no excuse, there’s no explanation, you’re just wrong. Respect your family; respect your friends; respect your community. Please.

Thus endeth the rant. You guys are my friends and we've all done stupid things. I’m going to let it go and assume that this post will be enough for you to examine your behavior, please don’t make an ass of you or me.

PinkBunny needs your help!

From PenginGirl (sarah.mccaleb at gmail.com):

Hello everyone, sorry about the mass email.

Justin/PB/my husband and I are currently in a hospital in Cancun, Mexico. We were in Playa del Carmen for my sister's wedding and he fell while running at the resort on July 15th. He was running fast enough to smash his face really, really badly on some stone steps. He fractured many bones in his face/jaw and he had surgery two nights ago to fix them (with titanium plates and screws). His nose and sinus cavity are also badly damaged and we are waiting to hear when he will go back into surgery to get them fixed. It will be at least another 2 days or more until we get a better idea of when we can come home.

He cannot breath out of his nose yet, so he is having trouble breathing and they are monitoring him in ICU (although the surgeon says that his lungs are working properly). He is in a lot of pain and they cannot give him too much pain killer while he is recovering from the first surgery. He also cannot sleep very well because of the breathing issue. He did not get a concussion and his brain is working just fine, along with the rest of his vital organs. His eyes are badly bruised because he broke the bone in between his eyes, too. But he can see just fine and is now able to open his eyes. I have been spending as much time as possible with him in ICU. The doctor says that he is recoverying rather quickly (his strong will is working for him).

Thankfully we are in a nice, private hospital in Cancun where many of the doctors, nurses, and hospital staff speak English and are very helpful. I am in contact with his family members. My mother is staying with me in the hospital and my sister and brother-in-law have also been here to visit and help us take care of stuff.

I really just want everyone to keep him in mind and heart because he needs a lot of support right now. Since we do not know much about what else needs to be done, we may be in Mexico for a while. You can reach me via email because there is WIFI here at the hospital. I will do my best to check it and also give any more updates.

Unfortunately, we did not have medical insurance and it has been crazy stressful trying to ensure that we have money to pay for it with family help and credit cards. We are doing okay at the moment but I know that more surgeries and hospital costs will continue to rise. While I am not asking for money, here is a paypal account if you want to help out:
djbuddhaful at hotmail.com

Once we get home, it will be a long road to recovery.

I don't know what else to say right now.
Love,
Sarah

Stop burning.

Chinchiller — Fri, 15 May 2009 00:04:16 GMT

In light of current events it's just disrespectful to be burning the man anymore or anything else in BLC. This is a huge waste of wood and resources. We call ourselves mindful while we are wasting hundreds of tree's. I can't even go to the burn without thinking of how backwards this movement has become. Stop it now by picketing the man this year. Go green Burning Man or we'll have to protest you. Save these beautiful structures of wood. If we have to lets chain ourselves to the Man.

Any opinions on this? Personally, I am having a great time planning my own trip.

I guess this would appeal to folks coming from overseas, or maybe..... douche bags?

Anyone travelling to the Burn Monday - Fri/Sat?

Lams — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:44:54 GMT

I'm looking to travel to the playa for Monday to Friday or Saturday morning. I can share gas $$, driving, burner enthusiasm, playa stories, umm gas $$.. I feel like I'm forgetting something. Well if it's burner or ride related can share it. I've been burning since '96. I'm doing some rangering so I can get in early if you are arriving earlier and that will make it happen. My truck clearly is not going to make it up and [obligatory *in this economy* joke] it's not looking like I'll replace between now and then. So if you've got room, and want a good-vibes, hassle free ride companion let me know - Thanks!
