yeah, and i have a laptop. ugh. so i was thinking of building one of those giant plexiglass cases that have holes cut out in the side with gloves stuck on them so you can play with stuff in the box... just like in all those neat chem labs. the added bonus is you could deck it out and put it on an art car or something... weee! i was thinking NO ventillation. just don't take the thing out during the day AT ALL. night time only. i just wonder if it would survive during the day covered up... do laptops melt in the shade in the desert? but then there's the problem of cords... if this thing is sealed, how do i get the cords out? did you see the roving soundsystem that was built into that armored vehicle/big jeep thing last year? they had that neat plexiglass dj pod in the middle and all those tvs stuck on the front, above the bass bins, broadcasting visuals that another dude was making from inside the drivers compartment. and it was a damn good sound system too... bitchin. > From: Mark Sottilaro [mailto:sine@zerocrossing.net] > Instead, take a hit or two of acid (which you were going to do anyway) > and make all the damn noise you want! invite others for extra realistic or you could do this... but then your gear doesn't get messed up! and where is all the telltale dust on your car/bike/clothes/nostrils/records/etc? what fun is that!? paul > -----Original Message----- > From: seemso@directvinternet.com [mailto:seemso@directvinternet.com] > Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 2:19 PM > To: Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com > Subject: protection > > > protecting gear at bm. > > > > there will be playa in and on something no matter what > you do but you can minimize it a lot and then air it > all out when you get home. > > last year i played with an rc-20 but this year i have a > repeater with other goodies so it's a more intense > concern for me cuz of the fucking cost if things go > wrong. > i'm imagining a very clear plastic bag with two holes > for venting in and out with a nice filtered very well > placed fan. it would have to be pliable to access the > controls or have gloves attached like a sandblasting > booth. or get an actual small portable sandblasting > booth. i just saw one at harbor freight for around a > hundred. seems kind of high but so is all the stuff > i'm protecting. > at night that might not even be necessary as long as > it's not too windy. if it's really windy just don't do > it. > it's a festival worth alot in cutting edge value. not > many places are there where 30,000 people are casting > space for hypercreativity. it's the living womb and > you make of it what you let and relet. > it's turning into a light/sound spiritual transcursion. > > playing inside spaces that are well built for blocking > the wind and playa helps. some structures achieve this > very hard task. > > bed sheets wrapped round and around did well. > be sure and shake'em clean often. > > the alkali is hungry for your circuitry. > > plastic boxes with holes cut out for cables did well. > > > one big wind b l a s t of powdery playa and it will > at least be externally covered. > and soon internally. > > lot's of compressed air afterwards. > > be smart and then when you relize you weren't don't > give a fuck cuz of how much fun it is. > > tim > > >
