Hello Mysterians!

The Bathroom Beacons have launched a Kickstarter for our 2013 Beacons! And yes, we know, everyone's got a Kickstarter. But we would like to bring this civic project back to the playa because when ya gotta Go you gotta GO!  Please see the below call for help in the most recent Jack Rabbit Speaks issue.

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!

And even if you can't make a monetary contribution, we greatly appreciate your help in spreading the word about our Kickstarter.

Thanks for your support!

Potty on!
