Hello Again,
I’m happy to announce the unveiling of the new blog site for TwansList. Over the years, people have mentioned that it might be a good idea to have a web based home for the list. It took a while, but now that I’m stepping out of the role of L.A.’s Burning Man regional point man, I have more time to do other things. Hence the creation of the TwansList blog. Which is just one of a number of projects I’m working on currently.
I’m still in the process of figuring out how to set it up in the most effective, aesthetically appealing way, and so please bare with me as I attempt to finesse it to perfection. The thing I love about perfection is that it is rarely achieved…. which is a good thing. There’s always something more to do in the quest for perfection. I’m putting it out to the world now as I’m anxious to get up and running.
Here’s the URL:
http://www.twanslist.com
In addition to being able to access these list postings online, I’m setting up some other categories with the hope of sparking interactive discussions and the sharing of useful information. Which is much more proactive than merely receiving an email in your in box. Please let me know what you think. I hope you find it fun and useful.
Thanx for being interested! Because without you, it’s just not that interesting!
Twan
P.S. Happy recent birthday to the fun-loving, fire-breathing pirate Brady. Yo, hoe! Yo ho…

** SAT. AUG. 5: BEDLAM & HIPGENESIS: THE ROARING 2020???S **
A Fascist Imperium oppresses us all. Prohibition is back. Not just on alcohol, but on music and art as well. However, what they repress can only grow stronger. Not all is lost. Only hidden???
Bedlam & Hipgenesis presents:
THE ROARING 2020???S
THIS SATURDAY, AUGUST 5TH
9PM TIL 4 AM
VIRGIN LOCATION!
$15 AT THE DOOR
1275 E. 6th St.
Downtown Los Angeles, CA
90021
The Imperium has declared dancing and drinking illegal, and the law restricts music, art, and deviant behavior. In these dark days of prohibition, however, the flames of culture still burn for those who know where to look. Passwords and elegant attire open the doors to secret underground clubs and speakeasies. For one night, under one roof, celebrate the roaring spark that can never be taken away.
Bedlam and Hipgenesis present a futuristic vision from the Lost Generation.
An Art Deco dystopia caught inbetween a Jules Verne Steampunk era and a Buck Rogers Space Age.
Join us on August 5th, in Downtown Los Angeles at the Bedlam Warehouse.
Dress up neo-flapper style and lounge upstairs in the Speakeasy.
Or show off your aethertech, cybernetic-retro, and apocalyptic vaudeville in the Dance Pit below.

** SAT. AUG. 5+: LASERIUM SHOWS IN VAN NUYS: 8/5 – 9/2/2006 **
Laserium Shows will be presented in the Van Nuys Cyberstudio of Laser Images, Inc. at 6:00, 8:00 and 10:00 on Saturdays throughout August.
Complete information and directions are at www.laserium.com and at 818 997-6611.
Reservations are necessary and are now being accepted for shows on Saturday August 5, August 12, August 19, August 26 and September 2 at laserium@earthlink.net or 818 997-6611.
Featuring the classic Laserium Shows of Pink Floyd???s Dark Side of the Moon, Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, as seen at CSUN and Griffith Observatory, the shows will also introduce the interactive technologies to be incorporated at the forthcoming Laserium Cyberdome.
Punching up the Laserium shows will be stunning multi-color laser effects and awesome stereo sound; while in an adjacent studio, patrons will experience the unique, exciting LightDancer which puts them in control of lasers, video and even musical accompaniment. Says Ivan Dryer, creator of Laserium, ???Our Cyberstudio may be intimate, but the effects are pretty overwhelming, and what people can see and do is unlike anything available anywhere???even previously at the Observatory!??? Seating is limited and shows sell out quickly, so patrons are advised to make early reservations noting the number in their party and desired show time.
There is a discount for groups of 5 or more, and private parties can be arranged.
According to Dryer, the Cyberstudio is the precursor to the all-new Laserium Cyberdome, whose location and opening date will be announced soon.

** SAT. AUG. 5: EXPLORING THE SACRED FEMININE **
Explore the Sacred Feminine Saturday AUG 5th
Come explore the realm of what constitutes the ???Feminine??? in a safe, sacred place for women only Aug 5th from 10 am to 4 pm. The Sacred ???Divine??? Feminine means different things to each of us, at its most essential it is that life force within every sentient being, every woman and man, as the creator, the nurturer, the receiver??? These thoughts are renewing a reverance into what constitutes the meaning of the feminine. The Sacred Feminine is a term used for the that mysterious source of all life, the wellspring of creation, the trilogy of life, death, and rebirth. The ???She??? as some would say is birthed within both male and female forms. The circle which symbolizes the essence of the feminine contains both the yin and yang as an interconnecting force of life. The portal between the worlds is by nature indefinable, yet her presence has been experienced so tangibly by peoples of the Earth from the beginning of time, that She has been honored and deified in many forms. These forms are embodied in different archetypes playout in human roles that will be explored and discussed in the series; The Feminine Evolution ??? a Passageway into the Sacred Feminine.
The awakening of the Sacred Feminine is spawning a new form of evolution to emerge upon ??? the enlighten, the spiritual warriors, the tantric lovers, the spirit players, the urban shamans, the wisdom seekers ??? that reveals the dawning of the Feminine Evolution.
Calling all women, sisters of the feminine to help initiate the pathway to the Sacred Feminine by attending the beginning of many to follow: See flier attach for location and details.
Many blessings,

** COMMUNITY MEMBER LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO SUBLET ASAP **
WEST L.A. Sublet space or share wanted ASAP
I am moving down to L.A. eventually and wish to land a space that is ready for move-in ASAP. I???ll be down in L.A. this saturday to scout out places on the west side near Venice, S.Monica, Culver City or Marina del Rey, W.L.A.
Furnished space would be excellent but is not absolutely necessary. Nonsmoker, courteous, good with pets, would love a housesitting gig for a few months while I settle in to the area, sort out my prof???l life, catch up with burner communtity action, etc.
Feel free to give me cell phone call if you know any place or anybody who might have a solid lead, FAST.

** COMMUNITY MEMBER???S INVENTION FOR THE SEXUALLY ADVENTUROUS **
Here???s a cool product created by an upstanding member of this community and long time Burner for the more sexually adventurous amongst us (I have reason to believe that there are more then just a few!)
http://tinyurl.com/kjk8a
I???m gonna get myself one of these contraptions. Then I???ll need to find an adventurous soul to help me, um??? assemble it??? Yeah, that???s it???
If you???re planning on going to Burning Man this year, order one now so you can get it before you head out to the Playa. You never know what kind of guests you???ll attract with a contraption like this on display???. And if not on display, you might want it safely stashed away in your private abode. No further comment necessary???

** CORRECTION RE: EARTHQUAKE SAFETY MESSAGE IN PREV. POST **
(Many thanx to the 3 sleuths within our tribe who correted me about the earthquake safety ???triangle of life??? posting I sent out in my last posting to this list. Apologies for not having caught this before sending. Here is an update??? ???Twan)
For Info on the truth about the earthquake tips:
Check http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/triangle.asp
There???s a lot of false information in there and the writer is under investigation for fraud.
Origins: We can???t say that every single point mentioned in the above article about earthquake safety by controversial ???rescue expert??? Doug Copp is wrong or bad advice, but there are some pretty substantial reasons why readers might want to take the article (particularly its advice that everyone who uses the ???duck and cover??? technique in an earthquake ends up crushed to death) with some very large grains of salt:
Disaster preparedness experts with the American Red Cross dispute that findings based on earthquake experiences in other countries (e.g., Turkey) are applicable to the U.S., where building codes are substantially different.
The scientific validity of the conclusions expressed in the article has been questioned by others.
Doug Copp???s claim that he performed rescue work at the World Trade Center (for which he was paid $650,000 in compensation for injuries he supposedly sustained there) has been challenged in a series of articles published in the Albuquerque Journal which describe him as a self-serving opportunist rather than a true rescue expert:
Self-proclaimed rescue guru Doug Copp???s mission to ground zero was considered so important that he had clearance to be flown to New York even though all civilian air traffic in the United States had been grounded. Once there, he says he assumed a pivotal role and sustained devastating injuries while wading through the ???toxic soup??? in search of survivors and victims, and was awarded nearly $650,000 for his injuries. But there is little evidence Copp performed real rescue work, and it is doubtful that he deserves compensation.
Doug Copp was awarded $649,000, tax free, from the fund set up to compensate victims of 9/11. He says it???s not enough. But it???s doubtful he deserves anything. A Journal investigation found little evidence that Copp did real rescue work in New York. His forays into the rubble were to shoot video, some of which he tried to sell. His claim of seeking medical care within the time frame appears false. All typical of Copp???s years as a self-proclaimed rescue guru. Other articles have relayed complaints from numerous people who have dealt with Mr. Copp.
Mr. Copp is under investigation by a U.S. Department of Justice fraud unit. We???d recommend sticking with safety information prepared by established earthquake safety experts, such as the American Red Cross and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
