BATHROOM BEACONS -- BECAUSE YOU NEED TO PEE *NOW*
When we're selecting which projects to highlight in our Support a
Project section, we look for ones with an extraordinarily high impact on
our community. If this doesn't qualify, we don't know what would. Cuz
yeah, finding a potty in the open playa at night? Hard. And you ALL need
to at one point. So:
"In 2012, the Bathroom Beacons made it easier for the denizens of BRC to
find their way to the potties at night-- and we're excited to be
bringing the Beacons back this year-- brighter, blinkier, and more fun
then ever! As such, we are running a Kickstarter campaign to support our
plans for the Beacons. Here's what's in store:
Our flagship from 2012, 'Welcome to Fabulous' was selected as an
honorarium project this year. We'll be repainting the wood and adding a
new marquee to the trim.
We have awesome upgrades planned for 'The Toilet Bowl,' including an
improved ball return and full-color LED strips lighting the lanes; as
well as plans for a BRC bowling league championship. (Start forming your
teams now and
sign up here!)
And we have a new beacon for 2013-- 'Twisted Bristles,' a 15 foot tall
toilet bowl brush. The brush head features over 1200 bristles made of
18" acrylic rods, lit by LEDs dancing in a variety of blissful patterns.
The prototype in the Beacons laboratory looks amazing-- this may be
everyone's new favorite.
We hope you'll consider supporting the upgrades and infrastructure for
the Bathroom Beacons via our Kickstarter-- the bladder you save, may be
your own!
