Worm almost ready to roll

Shai-Hulud is just about ready to roll. Tomorrow we disassemble it and pack it up to go. Any help would be appreciated in the afternoon. Last chance to see her without playa dust but with skin.

Oh, did I mention? It has a skin. :-)
The front is open-ish, no covering on the mouth, but they may give us the full thumbs up. Which will mean we'll need more fuel.

Looks like the worm will be eating waffle cones!

Parade Wed at BRC! Other Mutant Vehicles needed to help...

We need some help transporting approx 20 members of the Burning Band to the start of our parade.

The band needs a ride from 8:30 and Esplanade (Spanky's Village and Wine Bar) at about 5:00pm on Wednesday, Sept. 2nd to Camp Sietch Grabrear (located at 6:00 and Fossil).

Parade leaves between 5:30 - 6:00 PM.

If you know of another mutant vehicle that can help bring the band to us, please let me know. We could use more than one, so that no one is overloaded. And spread the word, we don't want Shug using his cattle prod on fellow band mates to herd them there!

Walkers, dancers, stilters, bicycles, mutant vehicles, musicians, off worlders and humans are all welcome to join in the parade too!

Just a short march (more like a crawl) up 6:00 from Fossil to Center Camp.
Be sparkly!
wear something out of this world!
- Stormfeather

What:

Where:

Who:
All evolving creatures are invited to join us.

Last year BB member David and his flaming tuba, joined us for our Burning Sam Parade! We are happy and honored that the Burning Band will be joining us again this year!

Progress and little worms

Marie, I love your baby worms! Larger than sand trout, at the stage
where they are eating each other.

On the build front, we figured out the Big Question, which we've been
scratching out heads about for months. How to open and close the mouth
easily? BenK's idea and Ted's model and some kibitzing and TADA!
Perfect! Two ropes and two pulleys and it's working. Piece of cake.
See BenK's video.

We had a short day working on the lower rib frame. Ted and BenK threw
in on it and we chowed on Cary's spagetti. Rain chased us away.

Big day Thursday, it's now crunch time and we need all hands on deck
Thursday-Sunday. If you can sew, or cook, or mix drinks, or work metal,
or zip-tie, or wire, or just kibbitz and add to the energy, this is it.
We won't make it there without you. Much glorious fun awaits us!

Mouth opens!

These are the worms I made - fun for dancing, rolling, capturing...

Look forward to meeting you all! Marie

Progress 6/9

Hello, this is the first time I'm blogging Worm build updates directly.  So many updates have not gone to this blog, I hope no one has been paying attention.  Newfangled bloggimagigger!  Over the last week we finished filling out the mouth with a really cool looking grid of heavy steel wires.  Awesome looking if I may say so myself!  BenK and Noodles chipped in, and Noodles' burner house-mate too.  The sides of the people bucket are covered in green carpet with green fur on top!  Today we made the last big steel parts, for the frame that goes around the bottom.  Over the week (Tue. and Thu.) we'll connect it all up.  We're a little behind, but not irreparably so.  We even hauled out the carpets from last year's burn and started hosing them off.  Much thanks to Grockstar who brought around a bucket of delicious alcoholic something or other.  Hours of intoxicated conversation resulted, but work was somewhat impaired.  Thanks also to Cary who brought us a pot of spaghetti and drinks today.  You two made our days of work feel appreciated.  More Tuesday and Thursday!  Here's a cool shot from a couple of weeks ago. 

Fabric wrangler shout out

I picked up some semi-transparent stretchey black cloth to cover the
back of Wormie's mouth. Fabric Depot at 122nd and Start is doing 40%
off with coupons and 50% off fur, BTW.

So who wants to sew this up into an 8' disc with a cord around the
periphery?
I have the stuff... It's lightweight, and just two seams plus the border.
