Hey Fellow Art Car Fans,

As some of you know, there will be a new art car theme camp on the playa this year.

From the people who brought you the Whiskey & Whores Saloon and Asylum village we are . . .

Tillie's Service Station
7:30 and Coral Reef
www.tillieservicestation.com/ (This is being used mostly to sign people up for shifts)
www.burningman.com/themecam...ll_t.html


We'll be spreading playa love by "servicing" mutant vehicles at the station. What's "servicing" mean? It could mean anything from dancing the tango on the car's deck to pumping up the tires in a bear suit - and anything in between. It's basically a five minute improvisational auto-centric performance/service to really HOT music. Six to ten+ people per crew dancing and-a-sing and-a-laughing!

If this seems like fun, then drive on over and feel the love.
We're open Tuesday thru Friday (possibly Saturday) 4:00 to 7:00pm.
If you have any questions or suggestions, and we'd to here some, please contact us at tillie@tillieservicestation.com


Honk - Honk,

Ratti

    Hey I have an idea for ya... It would be really great if you could put "service" in quotes in the Who, What, Where, When or wherever else Tillie's name is being spread. I misunderstood the concept and convinced a few friends drag over my little art car with me in hopes of getting some help tuning the engine or figuring out wtf was wrong with it. We were "serviced" on foot, which was super awesome (gotta love the gas nozzle that squirts out whiskey!!). I did however feel super bad that I had made some friends help me drag my little piece of crap over there in the middle of the day for no reason though.

    Putting the "service" in quotes or something else would have probably helped. Maybe I was just stoned from the heat of the day and couldn't tell my head from my ass and didn't notice somewhere that wasn't what you guys were about. Either way, I did enjoy the whiskey. Much love.

      While your efforts were 'wasted', and you were the butt of a bit of an inside joke, I do think that that was valuable art, and I hope that you appreciate that by putting the thing in quotes they would have lost this wonderful prank.

      Next year: Tool Shed '08, an on-playa fixit shop.

        "Next year: Tool Shed '08, an on-playa fixit shop"

        I have a bunch of broken tools for ya

        Nothings quite as funny as the come on camp that offers a last ray of hope for the helpless.

        I'll even toss in a "Mechanic on Duty" sign.
