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...
