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... |
