Hello? (How it all began) Huh? (Casebier Call) Visit 1: Aug97 (Burning Man) Visit 2: Nov97 (Socal Trip) Visit 3: Aug98 (Burning Man) Visit 4: Apr99 (Booth Blizzard!) Visit 5: Jul99 (Coming Soon) Booth Mailbag (Your Thoughts) Press & Links (MediaWhoredom) Satellite Image of the Booth Own Your Own Booth The Booth in My Living Room			More Mojave Pointlessness When she heard of my plans to visit The Phone Booth, PonyBoy GirlieToolshed sent me the following communication: If I send you a blow-up pool will you fill it up with water and make your next phone call to the Mojave Phone Booth from it? If you're a tough sell, I could include a Crazy Fun Straw, from which you could sip a non-alcoholic tropical fruit breeze - drinking alcohol while in the sun is not a good idea. (vomitoso) Foolishly--I say again, foolishly--I flippantly agreed, thinking nothing would come of it. Here's where that moral part comes in: MORAL: Be careful what you agree to. Some people aren't kidding. A few days later, in my mailbox there appeared a strangely-shaped package. Inside was a strangely-shaped note (written in pencil on cash-register tape: 7-8-97 Dear Deuce -- Mojave Madman Here are your goodies! Now granted, this is the smallest pool ever--maybe really EVER, the tiniest little pool ever made. (Read: a challenge for you to locate the tiniest little pool ever made.) So, I don't know, you might only fit your bum in it, but I've included protective eye wear and a swim cap to safeguard those vitals (eyes, hair) from the damaging rays of our Almighty Sun. I chose this particular pool because of the "exciting graphics" which look much like a gratitude-enhanced condom. Must say, I've never run across a condom that said, "Thank you," but I think it's fairly amusing--at least to my juvenile sense of humor. Just think of the marketing possibilities: MY FIRST F*** condoms, sold in packages of one. This is my favorite pencil, by the way. So, in keeping with the theme, I thought a latex cap and ovary eye wear would make good complements. The Wet Set, indeed. HAVE FUN. Ta Ta Patti I have attempted to reduce my humiliation by reducing the size of the .jpg. It's not working. But my obligation is discharged. Next time I visited the Booth, I would be accompanied by PonyBoy herself.
