    Hey folks, sorry this took me so long. I had to whittle down about 400+ pictures to the 100 you'll see below. I had a great time at the jamboree, and I would like to thank all the folks that showed up and especially those that helped out with the food and booze (liz and creature deserve most of...

    It was really great having you out there @creature! I had a total blast, especially drinking at the library bar and bartending for everyone there! I'm processing the (amazing) pictures I took and I'll be posting an official write up of the even here shortly. If anyone has pictures of the...

    fuckin a! as far as i know, the state of damnation tank is unknown. i heard moth got arrested in wisconsin so he's not coming back. i HIGHLY doubt damnation tank is unoccupied. 99% chance a place as nice as that would be taken over by another slabber pretty much immediately. i know if i was...

    oh, also, depending on how many people we have and how many folks have cars available, I'd like to try and organize some rides out the salton sea, the mud pots, and the glamis sand dunes (it's like the sahara desert, but only 30 miles from the slabs!). anyone bringing out a vehicle besides...

    Okay folks, we're getting pretty close to the event! Folks should know that the open mic night at The Range is going to be on saturday night, NOT friday! Also, I gotta admit I'm totally winging the gathering this year, so if anyone has suggestions, let me know! If funds will allow it, I'm...

    ah, i'm sure folks can socialize enough on their own to find travel partners and rides, although if we do have a lot of people there we could have a signup sheet for who's going where and how. ha i think beer pong is a little too frat for this type of event.

    speaking of which, we're about 30 days away from the event, so if anyone would like to share any ideas, i'm all ears. right now we have 1-2 movies to watch at the theater at night, hanging around drinking and telling stories, i'll might do a tour of the slabs with people if they're interested...

    nope, only the most elite of the most dirty, filthy, crust ladenist, hobos should even attempt the journey. i'm kidding. of course everyone is welcome! except cops. i can't promise it'll be the next burning man, but if we get about 30 people there this year it'll be damn good time. we got the...

    that or brawley maybe? keep in mind this area is one of the poorest counties in California. If you already have money or food stamps most everything you need can be gotten from the grocery store in niland which is 3 miles away from the slabs.

    On a side note, is anyone bringing instruments? or are you in a band? we need more music at the jambo!

    yeah, i'm sure she'll be okay, and there's people watching her place for her. i'm waiting to see what the details are and when she's getting out. i doubt this is going to affect the jambo if anyone is curious. even if something happened to the library we'd still meet up in the slabs and build...

    Hey folks, so here's a little update. @wheelingsteel has offered to come out to the jambo and show off their 16 minute short film Riding the Highline: If you didn't see the trailer already in this post, check it out below: Speaking of films, we now have a space to show off some for the...

    if you want to mail ahead books, i can get the library's po box. @landpirate my friend sydney is probably flying into LA for the gathering and the two of us are going to the punk fest afterwards. i'll let you know when she locks down specifics, she might be able to bring you out to the slabs.

    i'm taking my bike out there, and i'm planning to make at least one trip to SD and LA and using the Slabs as a home base. like most people i'm unclear what that situation is and who exactly is behind it (or who is on what side). that said, I *really* don't think that situation is deterring...

    just about any car will be fine in the slabs, you just can't take them off road any more than you would anywhere else :P for example, the tanks have dirt roads going to them, but they're probably too sandy for most cars. the rest of the slabs has dirt or paved roads from when it was still a...
