krautboy wants to go to burning man this year:
We need pants! Now that the trebuchet is playa bound (thanks to everyone who supported the cause), we will be implementing the Trouser Relocation Program. We can't think of anything more beautiful than a massive cloud of pants flying high across the Black Rock sky, and we need your help to make this happen. We are asking for donations of pants- any style, any size (but pants only!) to be hurled en masse from the trebuchet. If you can spare a pair, bring them to the playa and drop them off at 4:15 and trebuchet (you'll see it, trust me). Try and find someone from the trebuchet crew or look for the designated 'drop your pants' site. Hopefully with your help we can make the dream of flying trousers come true.
If you have other ideas of what to toss, we're open to suggestions. The only requirements are that the objects have to either be very
large (i.e. car, piano, dumpster, etc.) or in very large quantities(i.e 100 anvils, 2000 rubber chickens, etc). This trebuchet is massive and needs to be reset with a crane, so throwing a couple watermelons is hardly worth the effort. For those of you who are wondering exactly how massive this thing is, here is a commercial it was used in: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=70722051211331357.
Oh, and think about clean-up, too. You might be able to acquire an entire flatbed of plastic toothpicks (for cheap!), but it's probably a really bad idea to scatter them across the playa. Things that break apart in large pieces, or that don't break apart at all, are best. If you have an idea, email me (spork@youngandchubby.com) and I will pass the suggestion on the trebuchet crew. If you have something, or many things, that you would like tossed (other than pants), please do NOT bring it/them to the playa without clearing it with us first. The last thing we want is a big pile of miscellaneous junk to have to deal with, and we don't want you to waste your own time and energy.
Thanks from everyone on the trebuchet crew. We'll see you on the playa.
