Stephen is King Shit of Fuck Mountain.

Once again, Stephen is making us all look like a bunch of assholes. Cut it out, dick. You're productive as SHIT and it's making us look bad.

This just in:

We have a kitchen!



Thanks to Stephen, our kitchen features shelving for foodstuffs, space for cooking, wash basin, and cool under-storage for coolers! (and hello? it's on FIRE) How in the hell are you getting all this shit up there? Is it the year for a UHaul?? We're moving up!

Thanks Stephen!

Stephen's Gettin Crafty!

Check out his sweet Ice-Cart! (or drunk-fucks Cart!)

Now Stephen and Tricky won't be stuck tying garbage to our roof racks!

ANd (drumroll please) the most patriotic place to set down your drink (or naked ass!):

Awesome job! And don't think I didn't see your eyeball lights hanging off your gutters : )

What follows is a direct email I sent to my aunt Stacey, who will be gracing us with her playa prowess this year, after 6 years of hesitation! Hoorah! She asked about all the vitals she needs to remember to bring (mostly because no one else will bring them for her). It's being posted here to make a permanent home for the list so she (and myself : ) can refer to it as needed. I figure Grandma Poop Mouth might find this useful as well! (and don't worry, we'll come up with a much better playa nickname!) Everyone else, please post your additions!

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

YO!

Compiled this handy list o' shit to bring to the middle of nowhere for you- and will probably keep sending them to you as I remember them:)

- h2o!! enough for drinking, cooking, *and* bathing (yes, we have a shower!)
- 347 tubes of chipstack (because you will lose them/lend them)
- goggles (i have a dark pair for day and a clear pair for night)
- skunkscreen (i have a bottle of spray-on stuff that doesn't have alcohol in it to dry me out)
- cup! (i have one for cold stuff like mixed drinks, and one for hot stuff like coffee and tea. they BOTH have lids and loops for carabiners)
***notice the duality of all these things? dark/light? cold/hot? remember that when packing clothes...you'll never know when you want to go all fallen-goth-angel after being all soft, hippy floaty all day***
- the cutest things you own (less is more! LESS IS MORE. if it's scratchy, leave it at home. if it's not PERFECT, leave it at home)
- the coziest things you own (i found a *super* soft blanket and cut a slit in the middle- insta-poncho! uggs, 19 pairs of socks, etc)
- laaaaayeeeers...if you're cold in your booty shorts, you don't want to put sweats on. leg warmers and a swanky scarf will do!
- clear tubs for EVERYTHING. lids keep out dust, and you can see your stash.
- camp chair
- lantern (battery powered means it can go in your tent)
- speaking of tents, soph has a heeeUUUUGE two-room tent, that you and mal are more than welcome to share with her.
- baby-butt wipes (with aloe, no alcohol)
- Aveeno (or similar) face wipes, that remove dirt and makeup.
- headlamp
- bike (with basket)
- glowy/blinkie shit for said bike (no one likes a darkwad)
- bandanas/dust mask
- portable ashtray (Altoids tins work well because they have a lid)
- 3,000 lighters
- secret stash (don't even tell me!)...because you'll be a goddess for pulling it out after 5 days of thinking we're out of everything good. (chocolate, good tequila/whiskey, champagne, etc)
- disposable cameras, because digital ones break and get stolen and get lost and because not knowing is half the fun
- spray bottle to keep you moistened and charged (and tasty oils to flavor the water!)
- carrying unit (i use a camelbak, some people use utility belts)
- earplugs (extras) and a sleep-mask for those daytime cat-naps

The American Dream

In spirit of the 2008 theme, Soph and I have been brainstorming some camp ideas inspired by all that wonderfully tacky shit that makes us 'Merkin.

First, the shade. It's big enough for our "kitchen" and "living room," with room for tents. I have no problem splurging on 100% shade for years to come. Stephen, imagine your carport right next to it, like a garage!


Now, the yard (scroll all the way down)

Complete with flamingos!

And, of course, to receive Piss Clear, we'll need a mailbox! (just an example, of course. I figure we could have something much more obscene).

And, to top it all off, a white picket fence! (which I have already purchased!)


Perfect for kicking back and throwing our feet up on Stephen's coffee table, inflatable furniture! (makes for easier transportation too!)

And finally, the coup de grace, SOLAR POWER! (yes ladies and gents! we have HARNESSED THE SUN to power our iPods- truly the American Dream!)



Now, feedback people! I demand it! Ideas, photos, links, etc. That way, when I ask everyone for $100, you'll feel involved : ) (bwahahaha!)

Testes, testes. One, two...three?

Hi my lovelies!

I created this blog as our off-playa meeting spot : ) Here, we can post ideas, plan camp, budget, and make fun of the default world.

We've got 116 days until the 2008 burn- time to plan!
