Prophe-see T.V. is on the Air!

Society member Tbone of "The Todd Don't Stop" fame went live with his all-seeing future visionary device. It was very popular around the playa. Here he is at The Deep End and Kid's Camp. Can you tell which is which?

Perambulating About to Visit our Steampunk Brethren

Members of The Society visit The Steampunk Tree. The Baron, The Baroness, The Amazing Leslie and Professor Fate visible.

And Away We Go!

Packing day(s). Everyone showed up at the workshop to coordinate gear and make sure we had all the supplies The Society was going to need for the 9-10 day excursion on the playa. The Perambulator takes it's place on the trailer. What a lot of stuff!



AP waves his adieu. Super Doug and Jana are his co-pilots for the long journey. Their mission: find us a great spot to set up The Society.
The Baron and Baroness with Tbone rounding out their team. Their mission: Nearly 590 liters of Reno's finest.
LG and Mr. Alchemystic have their driving faces on. We'll see you guys tomorrow!

The Society

The Society is a most esteemed organization whose full name is as elusive as our ambitions are grand. Our goals may be known only to initiated members who swear to forget them. Our power is great, our scope is distant, our ways are mysterious.

To become ensconced amongst our tribe, convene at our encampment in Black Rock City at the time of 6 of the clock each Thursday, in a location near the junction of Rue de 3:30 and Desert.

You are welcome to bring such treats as may befit a gathering of great minds.



Seal is from a bibliography society. Wight refers to an early printing device.

Haberdashery

What will we need for the next meeting?

What will be the best way to make top hats?

The playing card method seems to be sturdy method. I'm sure we could make it taller with more flare.

What other methods could we use?
What materials do we need?

I imagine making a hat, then cutting out windows so that you can see inside the workings of the (cardboard) gears. Light it up at night (if the light rotated, it would look the gears are moving). Solar panel on top to charge during the day.

Or

Maybe we can work off of cylinder paper lanterns.

Maybe our camp name can be related to our brain gears - the Prognosticating Hatters, Gear Brains, The Calibrated Cranium Society... Some inspiration here?

We'll also make that master list of everything we need to buy, make and plan.
And think of party activities.
