Got a question.

I know of a theme camp that would really dig doing a customs inspector shift or 2 at BRC Int'l.

Their gig - militaristic costumes and Mutant vehicles, Interrogations, Searches, Rambunctious merrymaking, and other fun stuff. Semi-crazy, semi-wild, lotsa fun.

Who are these crazy, ludicrous bunch of Eastern-Bloc Miscreants? Apokiliptika. You may have been interrogated there yourself (3:00 and "A") at sometime over the past couple years.

Anyway, we (our fearless camp leader, Killbuck and I) were discussing it, and we both think it would be a *really* kewl way to do a "greeters" shift and still be able to have some artistic freedom - more so than at the gate. We could put a team together, and terrorize, er, indoctrinate, er, interrogate, um, *greet* the new arrivals, make sure they have ze proper papers, search for contraband, liberate, er, confiscate excess alcohol, Boa critters, Stray elephants, and what have you, dispense Playa Martinis to weary travelers (PBR W/ Olive), etc. (BY the way... what HAVE you in zat fliggit bag, darlink, eh???)

Also - they're a pretty conscientious bunch of burners. There is an actual aviatrix-in-training on the team who is planning on getting her SEL ticket prior to the burn (God, Cash, and FAA inspector willing) and has been around various AC for a while, plus, as I said, we are a pretty conscientious group, and can follow rules as necessary (No, you *don't* have to move the prop to inspect the cowling, damnit...)... Agreeable to training, and have even been known to burn blini and bacon on occasion... (If ya don't know, blini are Russian pancakes...)

Anyway... Wanted to throw this out there to whoever is the Minister of Immigration, Transport, and Windsock Alignment for their perusal, laughter, moderate turbulance, er, scorn, and possible consideration.

Thanks...

    I am one of the Ministers in the Ministry of Customs at the Black Rock City Spaceport. My playa name is Spitfire.
    While all the other Ministers were oohing and ahhing about your great offer, I thought I would jump on here and say YES YES YES. We would be thrilled to have you do your thing at the airport. For my sins (which are many), I am also nicknamed the Minister of Mischief (or MoM), so your involvement falls squarely in my lap.

    I am not very happy with Tribe as a communication medium, because it is such an unwieldy structure, so please email me (if you feel able) at wiganerwiganer@yahoo.com and we can communicate there. If you are uncomfortable with that arrangement, just email me and let me know and I will expunge all reference to you address from my records. Promise.

    Love and Hugs,
    Spitfire
