Hi gang. I got a call from Lady Bee tonight, Burning Man's art curator. They have awarded a grant to the Zsu Zsu project! Woot Woot! When I shared the good news with Killbuck, he said the same thing as last year: "Oh shit, now we HAVE to build it!".
Thank you deeply, all of you, for your support, love and hard work that I'm afraid will be needed again now more than ever!

Re: Burning Man Grant Awarded to Zsu Zsu
Thu, February 21, 2008 - 6:14 AMThanks, you guys. Of course, we of the Zsu Zsu Crew are entirely grateful for Burning Man's generous contribution. (As before, they asked me to keep the amount a secret). Zsu Zsu, however, had this to say:
"What ze fuck am I supposed to do with ZAT?! Purchase ONE SHOE?! -

Re: Burning Man Grant Awarded to Zsu Zsu
Thu, February 21, 2008 - 4:15 PMHehe..
Thats AWESOME Jelly!!!
Keep your fingers crossed for us...We could sure use it..
Other wise I'm going to have to spend my summer fund raising and leave the building to others.
Not really what I wanna do, but I will if I have too!!
Love and Fire,

Re: Burning Man Grant Awarded to Zsu Zsu
Thu, February 21, 2008 - 6:43 PMDuuuude. I have thought about Shiva Vista a LOT since we got the news. You know I'm rooting for you, and hope they see the value of your concept as you and I do. After Yuri's Night we may or may not have to do just one more fundraiser to satisfy the ever mounting costs. Art is a whore, oui?

Re: Burning Man Grant Awarded to Zsu Zsu
Thu, February 21, 2008 - 7:56 PMWe got word Jelly!!!!
SVP is going to be funded as well...!!
We still need about 15 grand after it to cover costs.. But I think that is clearly with in our reach after a few more good party's.
I'm just glad the pressure is off me to raise the full amount....
There is enough Burner good will and support in this town to fund all of our important projects.
Lets make a statement that Reno is a major player on the Playa!!
We CAN do it!
Love Life and Fire,

Sun, April 27, 2008 - 10:37 AM"ZsuZsu: The Crybaby Drama Queen
by Mister Jellyfish, Sparks, NV
ZsuZsu's former lover dragged her to Burning Man. In an attempt to make her happy, he built her a custom heart-shaped trailer, complete with tanks of French air. She refuses to come out but demands your attention and gifts. ZsuZsu blames you for her discomfort and inconvenience. She also hates heat, dust, loud music, art and "Heepies". ZsuZsu's Spiteful Tower is a replica of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, erected in front of her trailer and festooned with red lights-- a bar graph "mood meter" to indicate her current state of angst. Participants are invited to push buttons that communicate different messages to ZsuZsu through her intercom in an attempt to influence her feelings. When ZsuZsu's mood reaches its peak, the door opens and her robotic body leans out for a surprise tres magnifique!

Just saw this on the Burningman website listing under 2008 Honorarium and I got SOOOOOOOOOOO excited!
So excited, in fact, that I flailed my arms uncontrollably and think I spilled the last of my beloved Channel No. 2 bottle of ZsuZsu's french parfum. Oh, NO NOW, what will she make me do?!

Re: structural engineer
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 3:16 PMRight on, A_Delle. Welcome back! I'll bet your ears were buzzing Friday night when a dozen smiling contributers were here at my home talking about your part as HER and singing your praises. The official filming nights, beginning in May, will be Tuesdays here at Jellyfish Labs. Film crew only, that's you, me, What's His Keith, and maybe Chris. Perhaps we can have a special "screening night" later on so crew members can dig the work.
Please start rehearsing your so-far scripts now so we will be ready for the first night on Tuesday, May 6. Can you join us this Tuesday, April 29 to set up the stage again, do a final no-costume screen and audio test and meet with Keith? -

Re: structural engineer
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 5:01 PMgood, Jelly!
I love some buzzing-ears gossip!
So sorry I missed it! A drama queen pizza party!?! what a fabulous idea!! "Zee fat crepes!" I know how she would have turned up her delicate nose and sniff in the purest disgust.
I can assure you that I will be in attendance this Tuesday and the next to portray her ultimate persona in the best way that I can! I look forward to meeting What's-his-Keith, and working with Chris, should his schedule allow for lurking behind the camera with cigarette in hand/dangling from his lips! Ah, the fun to be had!
a tout a l'heur,
A_delle -

Re: structural engineer
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 5:51 PMI have a feeling she's a goat-cheese margheta pizza gal. God, I love calling her a gal, it gets her gall.
Am I the only Szu Szu hater in this tribe? -

Re: structural engineer
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 8:54 PMShe is a jealous mistress, this Zsu Zsu. Crypto-- examine the possibility that you are IN LOVE with hating her, oui? -
-
Re: structural engineer
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 9:03 PMOh, I get a charge out of it, true. But "in love with it" no. It's there. It's my way of participating in my friend's art. It may relieve some of my permament ugly duckling feelings. But I just wish the self satisfied bitch will be forced to eat a gigantic shit sandwich.

Re: structural engineer
Sun, April 27, 2008 - 10:44 PM"Am I the only Szu Szu hater in this tribe?"
No, I hate her too. Of course, I'm not sure if I hate her because I feel sorry for the guys she abuses, or hate her because I'm jealous. Highly unlikely that I'm jealous, but I bet she thinks so.
Then again, the more I see these guys throw themselves at her feet like the gluttons for punishment they are, I may just hate them and like her for performing a public service. -

Re: structural engineer
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 7:36 AMOoooh! Seething emotions on every side of the fence! Delightful! Thanks Crypto and MdJ.
Is there anything that gurgles up for either of you that makes you think of this year's theme? I have my own interpretations and I'm interested in yours. -

Re: structural engineer
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 8:12 AMYa mean, are we supposed to impose our xenophobia on this poor french girl? Or is it an expression of an American dream of sophistication? Or maybe just the male american dream to get down a girl's pants?
I don't really have much to say re Zsu Zsu and the theme. But them I'm pretty athemic. -

Re: structural engineer
Mon, April 28, 2008 - 10:46 AMI dream of Zsu Zsu,
as I awake,
from the dream,
returning from the feeling of Bliss that only one individual in all SPACE and time can create within me.
my eyes open to the beauty that is my wife and soulmate.
I am "almost" flooded with the urge to increase her daily washload.
Realization of the dream forms unclear pictures in my mind,
As I hear her speak...
"You forgot to take the trash out"
I hear the gargage truck at the end of the street.
Jump up, dress, get the feelth out to the side walk just in time.
Am I still dreaming?
It's always like this for me
