I don't like camping all that much. I live 360 days a year in what many would
describe as a cottage, in the country, without full-time electricity or any
kind of telephone. But I sleep inside on a comfortable bed, and I like it that
way. So driving a long way to sleep outdoors in the dampness just doesn't smell
like slack to me.

If someone like myself were to show up at Brushwood prepared to sleep in the
very vehicle which had gotten him there, would there be accomodations for that
arrangement? In '98, my fear that Legume was really gonna tromp the
Ivangelicals was the main thing which kept me away. My fear is my loss - I
should have been there to defend my faith like a Yeti. Then it was conflicts
with my job. That fear, and that job, are now gone, so there's only the matter
of justifiying it to my unsaved PriMate. And that distaste for outdoor living.

Whattaya think?

I see no reason why you shouldn't sleep in your car - you certainly are
allowed to bring it to your campsite.

I might still be tempted to bring a tarp and some poles - a cover over your
car will keep the rains from drumming on the roof, and give you a dry area
to stretch, change socks etc.

(And DO bring lots of extra socks! And several pairs of shoes you can muddy!)

I plan to camp out at a Ramada Inn on the east side of Erie. It's about
25 miles away. I require access to a regeneration device, and its
energy requirements are not easily met outdoors. I rarely rise before
noon, either, but may make an exception of some sort to be there just in
case the rupsture takes place at 7 AM.

FYI.

What she said. Brushwood has its own running water, toilet, and
shower facilities (which are included in the cost of the camping fee),
though you do have to pay extra ($5, I think) for the use of your own
electrical outlet. Other than that, you're free to do pretty much
anything you want -- sleep in your car, bring an RV, dig a hole in the
ground and fill it with fur, whatever you want.

Hell, rent an RV, fill the thing with beer, whiskey, frop, and

Yikes, I really shouldn't have tried to read this pre-caffeiene. A posting

The good news: sex is now legal currency.

"On one occasion, at a textile conference in Finland last year, the bogus
WTO official making a presentation removed his clothes to reveal a golden
leotard with a metre long golden phallus containing what he called video
interface which could be used to deliver electric shocks to employees in
the developing world not working hard enough.
A spokesman for the Yes Men said that nobody at the conference seemed to
spot the hoax.
The main complaint made at the time, he said, was from a woman who said the
phallus metaphor was inappropriate because women too can exploit workers."

I think you oughta stay at the new Holiday Inn Express that just
opened at Exit 4 of I-86, one freeway exit & 10 minutes away from
Brushwood (It's near Peak & Peek Ski Resort). Their number? Hey, I
don't work for them! Look it up on the Internet.

The way around this uncomfortable "sleeping on the cold damp ground"
business is to just not sleep.

I get the impresion that not everybody loves to camp out in the
wilderness, or even in a cushy campground with flush toilets, hot
showers, a pool and a hot tub. Before we started doing X-Day Drills, I
thought EVERYBODY grew up doing that Boy Scout crap and were
survivalists. I was a survivalist, as a youth, before I got tired of
waiting for Road Warrior to happen.

To be honest, it DOES rain at Brushwood every X-Day. Each day there's
an hour when it's POURING and you're trapped, maybe in the pavillion,
maybe in somebody's smoke-choked tent in alt.slack.village, maybe in
the cafe, MAYBE, if you're lucky, where Dok Frop happens to be.

And those times that you are trapped under a leaky tarp with crazy
SubGenius strangers, unexpectedly, and it's so cold that they all start
BEING FUNNY... those will be your fondest memories of X-Day. Next to
your time at the Glory Hole Confessional.

Too many people only see nature as an open-ditch latrine on the hottest
day of summer, to paraphrase a certain old school rant. True, it has
its unsavory moments. But I think the rest of it makes up for the
inconveniences. The only time I felt like I understood holiness has
been while admiring nature. For me, wilderness and night skies are a
better church than any building I've ever been in. X-Day is a triple
treat this way. I get to hang out with my SubGenius friends, I get to
camp in the woods, and I STILL get to take a hot shower and soak in a
hot tub. I WIN!!!

And for the record, yes, I too was a Boy Scout, when I was a boy.
Dumbest "survivalist" thing I did was camp in sub-freezing
temperatures, with a sleeping bag better used for slumber parties. But
it taught me CHARACTER, damn it. And what a character I've become!

Hay, mee too! Only, after I was a boy, I guess I grew into something
else entirely. That gives us two things in common, deny it or not.
Boy, scout, and change. Ooh, that's up to three.

I had ONE campout in boy scouts. And that was enough of nature up close
as I could stand. I think the thing that killed it most was the frost
on the outhouse door handle (this was winter, Cleveland style). I said
a vow to myself that I would never crap outdoors again. So far, it's
the one vow I haven't broken!

Not that I don't mind looking at nature. Rather not experience it,
though. Thank goodness there's a nice Ramada Inn not too far away.
When I crap, I want to see gleaming white porcelain, no bugs, and nobody
else around. Before you criticize me, take heed...this is a kindness
onto others, believe me. An hour around trees and stuff is about all I
can take.

I admire you that you can find anything on this horrible planet that is
in any way attractive. If I didn't know better, I'd detect a glimmer of
hope!
