The April Fool's web sites are
an all-year-round project: Coming up with the concepts, getting a web
design layout and then starting on the Images and the content. I
could do just One (1) web site a year, but that was so '05-'06.
For 2009 we processed 25 orders and received 10 inquiries for
information. The answer to the question is after
(18) Eighteen April
Fool's web sites; Can I still get the clueless, can I still make someone
think and question the validity of the idea and be unaware of the Date
(04/10)....The Answer is YES I Can!!!
I was also responsible for the April Fool's piece on the
Burning
Man web site which really drew quite a fire-storm. Please
enjoy the comments, accolades and I Got YOU'S!!!!

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. |
