Signs

Above: A rough idea of what the shadowbox could look like. Not sure if it should be painted black... as it'd be much more difficult to see during the day. But we could put glass, or something like that, behind the cutouts to defuse the light. Actually dyed cloth or thick paper might work the best-- as glass would be liable to break if the sign got blown over. Depending on how hot the lights would be.

This one may be a bit ambitious... but it'd be cool to elevate the numbers and make them as a sort of entrance way to our dome. Obviously the numbers would be a bit thicker to allow more light through.

This one may actually make the separate entrance idea more workable by attaching a top box to secure it. If we screw it onto larger boards and make holes in the board for rebar attachment into the ground it may actually achieve relative sturdiness. Also it would come apart into three boxes for travel and storage.

I don't know precisely how they do it, but the banners below would be cool... and easy to appliqué the 54 on everywhere. I think the more 54's we have around the better. That way when people ask what our theme camp IS we can look at them funny and say something ambiguous about 54.


It'd also be kinda cool to make a stencil and spray paint the dome with 54s. Maybe. Assuming we are going to roll with the 54 theme for more than one year, which I would assume is highly likely. It's ambiguous enough to go about anywhere.

Also, I read somewhere that you can use your run-off water from the shower and stuff to water a plant that you bring. I personally have no problem dumping it into the road (now somebody random is going to read this and freak out) because they spray it down with H20 anyway and we use biodegradable soap. However, the plant idea is a good one-- and probably something we will do whenever we get an awesome trailer.

El Wire

Such a cute idea for El Wire, I think. Been getting ideas for my bike.

This place seems to have some good deals, as well as a playa special.

Glowstick totals

OK- The glowstick order is as follows. Meticulously broken down in an excell spreadsheet by myself (because I love the odd organization of a spreadsheet)
John- 38.62
Bicho- 20.80
Mark-20.80
Jimmy-9.47

Bobby and I got some funny glowy shot glasses and mouth things.

Other than that, Jimmy reminded me that somebody needs to pony up for a bike pump, or does anyone have one?

Glowsticks... more planning

We are nearing on the time when we are going to order glowsticks and such. Really need to get an idea of what people want to buy.

Also, I bought a parachute yesterday. It's a regular army green one. I was looking at some white ones, but they were twice as expensive, and I'm really not sure how well they would take dye, being nylon and all.

Glow-sticks

Glow-sticks. Who wants to go in on some with us? You definitely need them so you don't get hit by cars or bikes (or get yelled at by irate passers-by). If interested I'm going to be looking into L-wire as well. Will post about that later.
Bob and I will be making our order at the end of June.
This site seems to be very cheap and has good deals.


Glow necklaces are $20.00 for 50. $70.00 for 200.

Glow bracelets are $10.00 for 100 or $45.00 for 500



Glow sticks are 50 for $17.50 or $125.00 for 500.

Glowey mouths are totally cheesy- but we'd like to get some anyway. They are 24 for $11.76.
This site has funny glowey beer mugs, $3.00 a piece.

Also, this site has glow-paint which is supposed to charge from sunlight and stay glowey for 24 hours. This might be fun to paint a sign out of. Basically it's $2.50 per tube.

Bob and I want to get 100 necklaces, 100 bracelets, 50 (or less) glow sticks and some glowey mouths. We'll probably get the beer mugs as well as the paint.
