Interfuse Effigy Fire

Two Whom it May Concern:
Zay mentioned wanting to build our flame effect into the television remote. It's fairly bulky - consists of a 3.5' tall cylinder on an Alice pack frame and has a 3' "business end." The business end can be modified down significantly to fit in any package, but the 3.5' tall cylinder must remain upright for it to function. When laying on its side it'll throw an impressive mist of flame but it's nothing in comparison to upright with liquid fuel (and has a small chance of getting air + flame + fuel back into the pressure vessel - the check valve isn't made to work well on its side).

The range is realistically between 30 and 15 feet - it dwindles slightly as the pressure runs out. On a full tank it'll have about half a minute of sustained fire or about a minute of burst sprays (these are pretty!) The ambient heat from a sustained blast has melted fireproof gloves, zip ties and warped a brazing mask - it's hot but not too hot to stand near for a few seconds. (Feels like sunburn.)

I picture us setting off the effigy in a massive display of pyrotechnics and fireworks - shortly afterwards (when the explodie bits are "done") a fully firesuited figure wades in and begins "cleansing the effigy with purging flames." This is open to interpretation as it's a pipe dream. Whaddya think?

RE: [MWBEffigy] [Ignition] Ignition via flamethrower!

Several phrases come to mind, most of them consisting of two words. They are as follows:

Fuck yes.

Hell yeah.

Kick ass.

Fuckin A.

There are probably more. But that’s what I’m thinking at this exact moment.

Shit List - Condensed

BM List of Shit I NEED:
Pup Tent - $100
Shade Netting - 13x13 - $80
Pirate Pants & Vest - $100
Stereo - scavenged - $50
Gloweys - $50
Plane Ticket R/T - $300

Shade Netting. I'm buying a 13x13 foot piece of that Aluminet that I will drape over my tent loosely. I bet money that I could fit an additional tent or two within the area. I have high hopes, only allowing 30% of the sun through while still allowing wind to pass will hopefully extend the allotted-morning-sleep time until 11AM.

Pirate Garb. Jys, could I buy some fabric and have you whip out the pants/vest from that existing pattern? I'll reimburse for time and effort as well.

Gloweys. I will buy my own and not simply steal yours this year!

Plane Ticket. This is from MCI to RNO. There's also the option of driving to Denver then flying to RNO from there one way. There's an additional option of flying from MCI to RNO one way then driving a rented Ryder truck home. All of these I am comfortable doing, but I would like to purchase tickets in May so we should make a decision.

Stereo. Bob, I'll come steal those Subwoofers & Amp this weekend. I'll be cannibalizing the hearses stereo as well to keep costs down. I want to have this done by Interfuse.

Hi Everyone,

I work with Michael and was excited to find out he goes to Burning Man. I have wanted to go for a long time and was not sure how I was exactly going to do it. I bought my ticket recently and am excited to be going this year. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Bar...

Biiiiicho! My memory is being as lame as ever, did you destroy all the bar setup schtuff after BM last year? aka do we even have a bar setup for this year? Or are we just sorta assuming that is going to magically happen? Was looking at pictures of the oil rig thing earlier, made me sad once more that I managed to forget it was blowing up until it did. Godamn Jerky. God I am gonna have soooo much jerky again this year, gonna be so great! When do we have to figure out our camping sheet by?
