SIGN UP TIME

If you’ve been hedging about signing up at Spanky’s…
nowz da time!

Go to the website after you read this and commit to the fun.
Spanky’s is going to be the bestest, most funericic camp on
the Esplanade (if we get placed there… we won’t know for
sure until August 1st. That’s when the Bman placement team
makes it’s announcements regarding who gets placed where.)
I asked for placement on the Esplanade at 4:30 or 7:30.

BTW… we are now listed on the Bman site:
www.burningman.com/themecam...ll_s.html


********************************************
SKUNKWORKS (work/party weekend)

The weekend of July 18-20 is our weekend to create
our toys and to party like pink desert rats! The event
takes place at Mayor Joeys ranch in Fallon, Nevada.
If you can come…

I need a headcount. Here’s who I have so far:

Jim Hillas
Mayor Joey & Laura
Nancy Shafer
Doug Lippencott
Barry Goyette
Diane Goyette
Rachel Black
Don Syrek
Frank Walker?
Kathy Walker?
Rocky Mullin & Leah?
Tom Eskridge?

Things we will be working on:
- (repairing?)Building the bar
- Repairing the BASS
- Building the camp shower
- Building (and testing) the bondage wall
- Testing the “burn your own man” machine
- Refurbishing the Spank-o-matic and Orgasmatron
- Other stuff

“Paint the town and trip the light fantastic!”
Also, anyone who is driving to Skunkworks… Bring paint!
If you have any cans of paint lying around in your garage,
attic, shed, etc., bring em. Doesn’t matter what color or
sheen the paint is, we can use it. And if you have any lighting
you can lend/donate to the camp, bring that too. We are
looking for spotlights, dj lights/effects, rope-lite and strobe lights.
Ooooh, and sofas, barstools and cushy things too! (see other
info below)

All of the camping, directions and work/party info you need can be
reviewed at:
www.jimhillas.org/skunkworks.html
If there’s anything I didn’t cover, or if you have any other
questions… email me.
*******************************************

HALF a GENNIE
We are past the half way point on gennie $$$!
Those of you who have made donations… Big-Thanks!!!!
Extra spankings for you ;)

I put down the deposit on our BFG (big f**king generator) today!
I will be a 25,000 watt diesel XQ (extra quiet), which should serve
all of our needs (if we don’t all crank our AC units at once)

And… it will be delivered to the playa by the rental company!
Also, we will not need to haul diesel fuel out to the playa either.
I have made arrangements for diesel delivery every other day on
the playa. No more need for hauling 55 gallon drums, transfer pumps,
fuel containment systems, etc.

If you haven’t made a donation to the BFG fund… every dollar helps!
Even if you can only afford $20.00… it helps.
You can donate via PayPal on this page:
www.jimhillas.org/duesbudget.html

Also… Big Props to Playmate and Princess. They are bringing out
a solar power system to help supplement our wattage needs…
GO GREEN!


********************************************
SWB SEEKS HIGH EXALTED RACCOOM POOBAH

I still haven’t had much luck locating inexpensive raccoon costumes
or masks. Would somebody like to volunteer to take this off my
plate? We need around 8 masks (or costumes… or a mix of both)
for our “Cooning” raids. See this page for a description:
www.jimhillas.org/events.html


*********************************************
CAMP/BAR LIGHTING, COUCHES, CARPET, CUSHY THINGS
Part of keeping the camp dues low this year was the plan of trying
to re-use and recycle our existing stuff… and to procure donations.

We want our bar to be an inviting (and well lit) place for our
guests to hang out. If you have an old sofa you can bring to the
playa (or to the Skunkworks), please let me know. Beanbag chairs,
inflatables, bar stools, etc are also needed.

This also goes for any type of lighting (spotlights, work lights,
DJ lighting, strobe lights, etc).

This also also goes for carpeting for our bar area.

Check at your local garage sales too!

*****************************************

RFP – SHIRCOCKER & BEST BUTT T-SHIRT DESIGNS

OK you creative types. We are going to give out T-Shirts to
the winners of these two events. Go to this page for the details
of the events:

I Have the shirts, computer program and transfers to make the
shirts… but I want to give you guyz the opportunity to design
the shirts. Email me your ideas!

And… we still need names and label designs for our wine bottles.

it before. They can help you with the design, layout,
production method, etc. All you need is a computer
and a printer.

Thanks to the efforts of Taximan and Playmate
and Elise and Princess we now have a great camp
sign!

The letters are backlit and everything! Kickass!
