|  | 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. | 
			
				|  |  | 
			
				|  | * Applause * | 
			
				|  |  | 
			
				|  | 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... |

				Heh, The Black Rock Resort 
				page has more TM listed then those fools over at the HATE 
				DOME(tm) | 
			
				|  |  | 
			
				|  | 4 lane troll road, 
				more like it - you had me going there (I had a whole tirade 
				begun)... | 
			
				|  |  | 
			
				|  | You really had me with 
				the dog one. | 
			
				|  |  | 
			
				|  | I gotta meet you this 
				burn.. You never cease to amaze me with you creativity. | 
			
				|  |  | 
			
				|  | I am voting prank nice 
				one but ridiculous none the less. |
