MAYOR NORMAL IS IN THE HOUSE

It occurred to me that there might be Villains here who I have not touched... Inappropriately or otherwise.

So here I am. Touching you like a common creep.

How are things?? How are the kids? How's Burning Man plans? Seen any cool explosions recently?

This year will be the best EVER. If you're not also on the Gigsville lists, you may want to get on them... lots of stuff going on, people building, plans hatching, stuff like that...

From the site:
Things are moving along nicely, and we’re looking at a great year on and off the playa!

Because the awesomeness rocks all year long, we no longer just gather for Burning Man. We have meetings and events year 'round. Join our zombie league online to find out more! We only bite when we're scouting for brains.

"Gigsville? That's, like, a lot of lists, isn't it?" YES! We have more lists than any other community, EVER!

Recently, we migrated most of our lists away from Topica. If you've been a member of Gigsville in the past, you know why we migrated! If you're new to Gigsville, this handy page will help you navigate the most active lists.

All of our new group subscriptions allow you to get mailing list mail through your normal mail program, or read it on the web. You can also use their interface to remove yourself from the list, or to switch to and from 'digest' mode (all messages from the day are gathered up and sent to you as one big message at the end of the day). When you subscribe to digest, it's REALLY IMPORTANT THAT YOU TRIM YOUR POSTS WHEN YOU REPLY. Otherwise, people are going to roll their eyes at every single one of your responses. It's a total drag and results in almost a complete loss of credibility. Just ask MattShaw.

The lists are:

Gigsville: The Reckoning
Subscription: groups.yahoo.com/group/Gigsville/join
This is the main discussion list of things about/for/involving the Gigsville community and/or its members such as event planning, project planning, and year round community stuff. Before subscribing, please read the Welcome Letter:
gigsville.org/index.php

The Projects List
Subscription: groups.google.com/group/gig-project
Open discussion focusing on creative construction, fabrication, ascii diagrams, knowledge sharing, techniques, materials and ideas for Gigsville and it's creation at Burning Man.

Gig-Announcements: for those with shorter attention spans
Subscription: groups.yahoo.com/group/Gig...ments/join
Oftentimes, our Gigsville lists are too chatty or cover too much of the chaff of the wheat. If you want to know only about the highest level things, join the announce list. However! Be aware that many people have forgotten that the Announce list exists. If you find that nothing seems to be happening, it’s probably because we’ve forgotten to post it.

Gig-Hardcore: Oh My God, These People Talk A LOT
Subscription: groups.yahoo.com/group/Gig-Hard/join
Then, on the other hand, you may want to know everything from funny forwards to political links to philosophical polls on whether Foghat really was better that Cheap Trick.

Event-related Lists
Please do not join only these lists and expect to feel welcomed as part of the community. To be a member of the community, you should also come out to workshops, camping trips, dinners, etc. Just showing up for the event isn’t enough.

Gig-Burningman: That Thing in the Desert Strikes Again
Subscription: groups.yahoo.com/group/Gig...ngman/join
Every year, we go out to this thing. I doubt that will change any time soon.

Gig-Flipside: It’s Better with Butter
Subscription: groups.yahoo.com/group/Gig-Flipside/join
We also go out to Flipside, since a lot of Villains live in Austin.

Before you full-on join up with us, you'll want to read our code of conduct. It's full of important rules you MUST be aware of before joining up with Gigsville. It's constantly being updated, so check back and re-read often. Wouldn't it be awful to inadvertently break one of the rules and be hated forever?
COC: gigsville.org/index.php

There is NO OPEN REGISTRATION THIS YEAR. NO ONE IS CAMPING *WITH* GIGSVILLE. Either you ARE Gigsville, or you're not camping on our plot.

More info? www.gigsville.org

Obediently yours,
Normal
