Worry not--RM is a fabulous teacher and will provide instruction. Come Storm or Shine, baby, the hoop knows not the difference. The Admiral's Monday Night Mash-up Admiral Painjoy will be spinning a wide mix of "mash-ups" spanning all decades and musical genres. Don't know what a mash-up is? It's a "vulcan mind-meld" of two or more songs into one. Ever heard Herb Albert and the Tijauana Brass combined with Jurrasic 5? The Beatles blended into Guns and Roses? The Safaris mixed with RunDMC? You will, on Monday night at 9pm Tuesday St Tropez Beach Party Tuesday at 11:30am... For two hours Spankys will be all class!!

Wednesday The Second Annual "Shirt-Cocker's Ball and Contest" THE INFO IN BLUE (below) ARE THE INVITES WE WILL GIVE OUT TO ALL THE SHIRT-COCKERS WE SEE ON THE PLAYA Hey Mr. Shirt-Cocker! You are cordially invited to attend Burningman’s second annual…“Shirt-Cocker’s Ball”... For people who truly love balls. Wednesday at 5pm at Spanky’s Wine Bar <Insert playa address> This event will be nuts! Two hours of fun and light hearted humor. We organized this ball as both a celebration and a condemnation of the elusive playa-beast known as the “shirt-cocker”. Whether you stand tall or just hang out with us, you may win one of many prizes awarded in different categories (Best Shirt, Best Cock, Funniest Overall Appearance, etc). So join us! Represent! Show your pride! Show us you’ve got balls! There will be a myriad of lovely ladies in attendance as admirers (and mockers) of shirt-cockers. This event was a raging success last year, so now we host one every year… and collectively, they are know as “the shirt-cocker’s balls”! There will be music and dancing. Limited beer, wine and cocktail wieners will be served (feel free to BYOB). And be sure to wear sunglasses (and maybe a nice ribbon for the little guy) for plausible deniability as there will be a group photo taken for the Burningman archives. Be a part of Burningman history… or you’re just another dick! THE INFO IN PURPLE (below) IS THE INVITE WE WILL GIVE TO ANY FEMALES WE WANT TO ATTEND THE SHIRT-COCKERS BALL Would you like to attend (or possibly be a judge at) the most reee-dick-ulous event on the playa?!?!? You know those dorky guys who parade around the playa wearing a shirt... and NOTHING else??? Well ladies, Wednesday is their day to shine (and your day to smile, smirk, giggle and point)… at the second annual…“Shirt-Cocker’s Ball” Are you a mocker of shirt-cockers? This event is both a celebration and a condemnation. And four of these shirt-cockers will win a prize! Show your support for the men with no support. The “shirt-cockers” will be proudly displaying the long (and not-so- long) standing tradition of shirt-cocking and celebrating the (questionable) beauty of the male sex organs... While at the same time, they stand the chance of being mocked and ridiculed by females. All ladies in attendance are welcomed to be judges for this most hysterical and reee-dick-ulous of events. Have you ever wanted to openly ridicule these wagging willies of the playa? Does the thought of pointing and laughing without fear of reprisal sound devilishly fun? Or do you just enjoy having a crowd of captive male organs hanging around like fresh (or possibly dried) fruit waiting to be plucked? Wanna turn the tables on those ogling guys that gawk during Critical Tits? Then be at Spanky's on Wednesday evening and have a ball (or several)! We will provide score cards, rulers and magnifying glasses to the judges. Contestants will be judged in the following categories: (and the guys, just by being there, are entered into ALL categories!) Best Shirt, Best Cock, Funniest overall appearance and Smallest Wiener on the Playa (extra points awarded for shirt-cockin’ with sockin’) Limited beer, wine and cocktail wieners will be served.

One of the biggest off-Broadway and Broadway successes of all time, Godspell is based primarily on the Gospel According to St. Matthew.As the cast of actor/clowns makes it way through its songs, we, as audience members get to see the parables of Jesus Christ come humanly and heartening to life. The show also touchingly presents the story of Jesus' last moments beginning with the Last Supper. a Small World - Champagne & Caviar Soiree Thursday evening at 8pm. Many people think they’re better than everyone else, but some of us really are. Call it a sixth sense, but those of us who are among that elite are also highly skilled at identifying each other. If you know what A Small World is, then you know what we mean. If you don’t, then you really shouldn’t even be reading this. All the worthy are invited to join us for Krug Grande Cuvee champagne and Almas Beluga caviar at sunset. "Black Rock Bacchanalian Bachelor/Bachelorette Bash" Hosted by Villains and Virgins & Camp Mystic - Thursday evening at 8pm Beautiful brides and gallant grooms are bountiful at Black Rock these days, but bodacious bachelors and busty bachelorettes are much more fun. Weddings are great, but we all know that bachelor and bachelorette parties are what we really look forward to. It’s time to send off all our soon-to-be-betrothed friends Burner style. So bring your stripper heels and inflatable boobs, because body shots and lap dances are just the beginning. Its time Blackrock City had a Bachelor-Bachelorette party that Bacchus himself would be proud of. Friday The 8th Annual LBD (Little Black Dress Parade) The long standing Tradition continues again in 2008. Friday afternoon at 5pm, Spanky's Wine Bar and the famous Burning Band will host LBD. Males and females alike will don thier wildest, most elaborate, sexiest and/or skimpiest little black dresses and follow and sing with the greatest marching band on the playa, through the streets of Burningman to Center Camp and back. Those with marching band instruments (yes, kazoos count) are welcomed to "join the band" Rumors are in the air that there will be quite a few Burning Band members in camp this year! Huzzah!!!!! This is a long standing playa tradition, so be sure to include an LBD in your Burningman packing list this year. Saturday Saturday Sunset Psytrance Set Saturday evening at sunset... Roll on over to the bar for Admiral Painjoy’s “Saturday Sunset Psy-trance Set” (Ha! see Phil, I can alliterate too!... oh shut up Phil, the P is silent, like in “swimming pool”… think about it people...) The Admiral will be bustin’ out two hours of the finest psychedelic trance tracks to warm you up for the burn! The music will bubble in your head like warm sweet acid flowing through a garden of mushrooms, percolating through your ears like a recklessly over-ambitious Pop Rocks enema. Recurring Events Morning Train Description and explanation forthcoming... or not! M.P.R. (Morning Painjoy Radio) Each morning, after 10am, Admiral Painjoy will be hosting MPR. A radio variety show featuring music, games, phoney commercials, interviews, skits and guest performers. The show starts with light, eclectic music and, of course, goes downhill from there. Hello Camp Bored? Lonely? Want to meet new and interesting burners? Want to strip them of their given names and replace them with dirty names? I know you do. Hello Camp will be making it's 9th appearance on the playa this year. There is no set time or day to give out name badges... just find Admiral Painjoy and ask him for a few sheets of name badges and a quick lesson on how to attack... errr... approach people, and you're on your way to having some superhappyfuncool times! Fizz-Ball DFizzball is on the agenda again this year... pack in an extra 12 pack of the cheapest beer you can find... the game was introduced to our camp by Doug "Milkman" Cross, tenor sax, a Burning Bander, several years ago, and has continued as a tradition ever since. Fizzball is played by a 'pitcher' pitching a can of beer at the 'batter' (who has a real wooden baseball bat... and hits the beer can (which explodes with a good solid hit).. there is a very loose '3 strikes and you're out' rule.. The game is played out on the playa in front of our camp, and participants are fellow campers, and passerbys.... it is alot of fun.. Burning Band could also play some songs during that event...for some reason, 'Ballgame' comes to mind... One year several of us (men and women) were dressed as French Maids and passed out appetizers to the participants and onlookers.. Fizzball isn't a 'scheduled event' because it depends on the weather, and having a quorum... So keep your eye on the beer sales... And the following was sent by 'Milkman" Doug Cross (who, unfortunately, isn't able to join us on the Playa this year) It takes only 3 people to start a Fizzball game - 2 players and a can shaker. Everybody else joins out of curiosity or an indignantly misplaced love of Blitz, Blatz, Pabst, or Olde Frothingslosh, "The Pale Stale Ale with the Foam on the Bottom"... and if any green-type jerks start givin ya lip, tell'em The Milkman will deliver'em a heavy load of curdled lard! Inappropriate Yoga Classes Want to add some more warrior to your downward dog? Well, Na-ma-ste ladies! Our Ogden’s Yoga Palace certified squad of Inappropriate Yogis will rock your chakras. Ooooohhhhhhmmmmm-mygod. Gratuitous adjustments will be given on a discretionary basis to students possessing the required aptitude for inappropriate yoga. |
