Magic and Mr. Fixit engineered and fully executed this magnificent feature of the Ein Hammer project. When the sides of the hammerhead open, flood lights reflect off of mirror panels on the inside of them, resulting a cascade of spinning white light that will make it look somewhat like a flaming disco ball. Details on the project website at www.einhammer.org

Thanks, KnowMad. Our 4th of Juplaya field test was a five-by-five proof of concept with flame diameters reaching up to 100 feet in length. Looks like our propane budget is going to need some help. Check out the new Kickstarter:

Remember, it will be invaded by the Mad Scientist Rampage on Wednesday!

Will that be before, after or during the wednesday Santa Rampage?

by **theCryptofishist** » Thu Jul 08, 2010 11:07 am

Damned if i know. Probably simultaneous, and if we meet it's because the santas go after me. I'm not a particularly ambitious rampager.

Re-posted with a song in my heart:

Greetings, dear thespians, comedians and those with stage acting experience. We are now casting actors to play the part of "Rotwang The Inventor" from the Metropolis film that will run the show of the honorarium art installation, Ein Hammer, including the giant flame effects. Here's a link to the project details: www.mutantvehicle.com/ein_hammer.htm and here's a bit of the melodramatic stuff we're looking for (spoken improv will be added):

Please send me a private message right away if you have an interest and I will send you links to our director's training videos. Auditions can be sent in on video or youtube and must be received by July 31st for consideration. Break a leg!

-Mister Jellyfish.

Howâ€™s your summer heating up? As for ours in the Ein Hammer crew, things are sizzling along quite well indeed!

The project is now 85% complete, and weâ€™ve run into some unanticipated costs. If you canâ€™t help with even a small pledge to this magnificent Burning Man art installation, no problem. Either way, please consider forwarding this message to every Burner you know as we make our final push to the playa for art, interaction, fire and fun the likes of which youâ€™ve never, ever seen before. Hereâ€™s a link to our fundraiser with videos of our progress and lots of super-swag rewards for you and your Burner friends:

8 pm. Be there and be square. Hm, maybe I need a pocket protector. Or protractor, I'm easy.

by **AntiM** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 7:43 am

MmmmHmmmmm. My other thing is at 7 and important. Which in playa time is practically the same as 8. Hmmmmm.

by **theCryptofishist** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 9:24 am

Whoops. If I were actually planning this, instead of having a start and an ending for time and place, I'd give you ideas of what our route is so you might have a chance to catch up.
Of course, because I" so slapdash, it might not be worth much as mad scientist rampages go.

by **Mister Jellyfish Mister** » Wed Jul 28, 2010 9:46 am

Ah, I just discovered a new secret weapon! If you want immediate thread drift, just ask for money! :-)

Yeah...um...what she said!

Ein Hammer is brought to you by... Strudel! Strudel-- it's not just for giggling schoolgirls dressed like the Saint Pauli Girl anymore!

You do know that St. Pauli is the red light district of Hamburg, don't you?
(Which doesn't actually preclude the giggling "schoolgirl" thing, I suppose.)

As if there's something wrong with giggling schoolgirls dress like the St. Pauli Girl.

I ordered a lab/metropolitan litter patrol coat. Now trying to find plastic labware,

I may have extra. Must remember to find a pocket protector.

by **Mister Jellyfish Mister** » Thu Aug 05, 2010 6:04 pm

Blame One Eyed Dick: I'm at least partially on to you mad scientists. Will myself comply with an appearance as the Rotwang character on Playa Wednesday, 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM.

by **Mister Jellyfish Mister** » Sun Aug 08, 2010 9:50 pm

We can see some white space emerging on the great Ein Hammer task list!

by **Mister Jellyfish Mister** » Wed Aug 11, 2010 9:28 pm

Woot- Diddy-Woot Woot! Woot! Our Kickstarter funding goal has been met, so Ein Hammer is now fully funded! Deep gratitude to our contributors, and there's still time left to earn Ein Hammer uber-swag with your pledges. Any additional funding will go toward food for the crew up to and during set-up on the playa. Please copy and paste the following link in a message to your Burner friends:

Many thanks to the many E-Plyans who supported the Ein Hammer project from its original inception to the final manifestation on the playa. The 42 member crew and I had a marvelous time, and everybody appeared to get the joke. Final report and images on the project website: www.mutantvehicle.com/ein_hammer.htm
