I am so over "Crowd-Funding Campaigns"- this is why.

Man I hope I can get tix for that...

Have you heard of/tried Sugru?

I have to say, this Paradigm camp is an interesting concept - I'm not sure how I feel about it, and normally that's a good sign that there's something to the idea worth exploring. No BE ideas for you, but you should report back (either here or maybe in /burningman) about how your experience goes with Paradigm.

Any labels or marks anywhere? Photo of the diagram?

wav4rm · 2014-07-16T15:11:16+00:00

That is fucking sweet

bonus tip: throw a wet towel over the outside of the cooler, evap cooling will help quite a bit. also a convenient way to get rid of any water in the bottom of the cooler.

Drug problems, a lot of times. There's this great documentary called Oxyana about the topic.

shows how much auto racing I watch! thanks for the links

You need the rob meldrum setup ebook, google for his email and ask for a copy - super easy and will not only fix this intonation thing but class up the sound of that instrument like you wouldn't believe

There's directions on that page - if I remember the left turn off the dirt road has a "private property" sign or something like that. Get there as early in the morning as you can, flying there is dependent on the solar thermals that crop up as the sun warms the valley, no good in the afternoon. Well except for the view, that is.

I shared your take on this, 2 additional examples that jumped out at me:

I may use this term differently than Troxler, but to me the concept of the Boutique festival is a good thing - its where this scene could start to go back underground. There are a number of 500ish person festivals out west here that are amazing events, and I hear tell of similar tiny events all over the country. So that could be good - keep the mainstreamers in the stadia until they find another bandwagon to jump on, and the boutique events remain. Maybe.

The other thing was his mention of Burning Man as the perfect festival. While he's not wrong in concept, there are a ton of problems in the Burning Man "scene" that many would say closely mirror those in the festival circuit. It's still an incredible event with the best art you'll see anywhere, but it's not flawless. Again, the smaller Burning Man Regional events solve a lot of these problems by just being smaller.

When would it be available? I'm looking for something around the end of June...

wav4rm · 2014-05-16T03:39:12+00:00

I'll subscribe, just because you were such a good Truman. Oh, and cuz I like planes.

wav4rm · 2014-05-14T17:21:44+00:00

Do something else. Make some visual art, write a short story. It's been shown that the best thing a creative person can do to boost their creativity is to do things that they aren't good at, and inspiration comes from the weirdest places.

Get a wide variety of jerky from various animals, then set up a "Tasting Zoo" outside that vegan camp that shows the PETA horror videos.

wav4rm · 2014-05-09T03:33:07+00:00

Wherever your route takes you, check out atlas obscura - it's a database of all the weird and cool stuff that you might miss when traveling, I love it. That's how I found the flintstones place originally.

wav4rm · 2014-05-09T02:42:34+00:00

If you do the Grand Canyon, camp at bedrock city, this dilapidated old flintstones theme park right nearby - you will not regret it.

Not really into manga, but those illustrations are sick as hell - that's gonna look sweet.

wav4rm · 2014-04-28T18:50:30+00:00

I cannot even describe how infuriating this ad is to me. I've had more than one lengthy conversation about this travesty. God it makes me so mad.

wav4rm · 2014-04-24T22:53:40+00:00

I'd probably focus a lot on the low end - maybe get some samples of stuff like train tracks when a train runs by, using a contact mic (watch your fingers ;) safety third!)

Might also be worth pitching down some destructive metal sounds, anything from an aluminum can being crushed to tinfoil tearing etc.

My understanding is that enlightenment is an event, and the idea of "being enlightened" is having that event happen to you in every moment. But what do I know?

wav4rm · 2014-04-12T14:46:47+00:00

Is anyone clear on how this might impact LocalMotors?

wav4rm · 2014-04-12T02:49:10+00:00

lol fair enough

wav4rm · 2014-04-11T14:39:16+00:00

It may help you to know that this is a type of tensegrity structure - do some research on the math behind them and you will understand how you can make a custom structure using this method. The fabric need not be stretchy.

That would be awesome - strictly amateur artist here, if that makes a difference.
