bianca meeting
Tuesday, June 22, 1999
at the Love Bungalow

attendants:
Mikek, {ff}, Jay, Da, Pete (Da's friend), Lucie

**** trucks
We will most probably rent 2 trucks again.

It will cost about $2500

An option would be to rent the trucks one-way twice
(so they don't sit empty for days in the desert), that
should be cheaper.

It's too early to rent trucks: they won't take
reservation more than 30 days in advance

Jay needs space in the trucks for the dome (loooong PVCs)

Getting gas in Sacramento would be cheaper than SF

**** generators
We will most probably rent 2 generators again.

It will cost about $300

Diesel is cheaper, and it's quiet.

**** sound system
It will cost about $1500

Hopefully we can rent from JK sound again

***** food
It will cost about $500

We need to find out if there is a Cosco in Reno,
it's probably cheaper there.

Da volunteer to scout Sacramento for food outlets.

**** shack construction
Mikek showed us his plan. It looks like a giant bra (B cup).
It's very biological: bones (metal poles), ligaments (PVC and
old tires), skin (gian tarps). Basically, it's like two small
circus tent (with holes on top).

Form sayz "it's too complicated, it's untested, and we really
don't understand squat about tension, it won't work"

Jay sayz "at Zebra station, we tested our domes before going
to Burning Man. We should do that with the shack"

Jay will send around the specs for the domes. They are strong,
and they cost about $200 each. We may one to build more than one.

**** next meeting
Jay volunteered his house in the Duboce triangle, but Mikek vetoed
it when he heard of The Cat.

Sparky, Tracy, is your house still open to us?

Suggested date: Wednesday July 6
