Gerlach/Empire Nevada get assistance in
Securing Economic Stimulus Money |
| |
With Billions of dollars floating around for
construction projects, the Burning Man Project has teamed up
with the cities of Gerlach & Empire Nevada to stake their claim
in the massive highway funds being distributed by the US
Government. Support is mounting in the area for a 4 lane Toll
Road Bypass for travelers heading North of NV440. During the
three week festival season each August these towns are inundated
with so called 'Burners'. |
| |
|
| |
"They appear friendly enough on the
outside", says a long-time Gerlach resident. "But they will piss
in your yard if you do not keep an eye on them." Sentiments like
this from other area home owners has this legislation on the
fast-track. |
| |
|
| |
Currently NV440 winds its way thru the
streets of both Gerlach & Empire, the proposal is to construct a
bypass that will spare the locals from any Burner intrusions.
All vehicles will be required to pay a $20 fee to get to the
entrance of the Black Rock Desert. Approx. $.69 of each toll
collected will be distributed amongst the locals to compensate
for the predicted 34% drop in local sales tax collections.
Alternate plans being considered allow for the creation of a
Business Loop Frontage Road so local establishments like Bruno's
and the Empire General store can remain in business. |

Those are great,
Scotto, sign me up to the power grid,
that would be a lot
easier than running my own gennie in our camp.

Is there any way that extension cords could
be used on my Art car ?
|
| |
|
|
|
I always get gas on my
hands when the genny needs refueling and this would take the
stink out of my evening cruises.

Excellent services
that all of these links provide.

You never fail to fool
on April 1! I love the stuff you posted, especially this one!
Hilarious! |
| |
|
|
|
Best one so far (4
Lane Toll Road) |
| |
|
|
|
Oh, so I can bring my
dog but not my cat? That's fair. I think we're lacking a bit in
equality here... Might want to round up the theme camp leaders
for that task. They tend to excel at cat herding. |
| |

Once Again Scotto, You
have outdone yourself.
I love to marvel at the detail and creativity you infuse
into your annual April 1 efforts.
I especially love the Larryvisit because it seems so damn
plausible. By the
way did you do the toll road article yourself, or was that part
of the SF crowd's contribution? |

I was wondering what
the BM April Fool's joke was going to be this year. |
| |
|
|
|
You burner you |
| |
|
|
|
FUCK YEAH
........great work |
| |
|
|
|
Nice one - let's see
how many you catch this year |
| |
|
|
|
So, we have the
obvious spoof followed by the "oh my, that can't be -- BUT it is
on the Burner website?!"
---- smooth.
Can you tell I read my posts from the latest down? |
| |
|
|
|
So you WILL be having
lots of fun today. I
wondered how that first one could be only ONE page.... |
| |
|
|
|
This is such funny
stuff, props to whoever made these sites |
| |
|
|
|
This is great.
Who writes this stuff?
I particularly like the playapharm page
: - ) |
| |
|
|
|
4 lane troll road,
more like it - you had me going there (I had a whole tirade
begun)... |
| |
|
|
|
I put in a reservation
at the kennel because MY DOGS SURE GET TIRED !!!! |
| |
|
|
|
Scotto! You've done it
again! You've
brought smiles to the masses! |
| |
|
|
|
LOL! I wanna enter the
BRC Olympic Oral Sex event! :) |
| |
|
|
|
Greetings Scotto, Nice
to see the fun continues for April 1 - hahahahaahahaha |
| |
|
|
|
Damn I didn't know I
was expected to piss in their yards!?!?!? Guess I should start
doing that and maybe have to use my "Indian taco" money for the
toll. Yay!! If we make it even more expensive to go to BM, it
will finally be the elitist group I can be proud of.
|
| |
|
|
|
I think that the toll should be $1,000 in order to help keep the
"undesirables" out. It gets terribly crowded and noisy at BRC. |
| |
|
|
|
I think it should be
invite only. I mean, every year there are all these new people
who don't have a clue, and they really fuck with my radically
inclusive vibe. I mean, I'm all about including everyone I know,
but strangers scare me. |
| |
|
|
|
Gotta love their
commitment to the April fools day! |
| |
|
|
|
You hope its an April
Fools day joke anyways....it wouldn't surprise me any to see a
state reveal this today and expect it to be a joke, and then in
a few months when its actually a reality it shocks people cuz
they thought it was just a joke and then they get pissed off for
having to pay 20 bucks just to get to BRC...I know it would piss
me off

Well, Black Rock
Resort LLP is actually required to build and maintain these road
expansions, if I read the Nevada state assembly press release
right. |
| |

Here's more info on
the soon to be built resort. Honestly sounds exciting...
