Just in case we haven't converted enough Burners to the love of Pig this year... Playa Q will be performing BBQ Magic at a decomp near you soon.

This Weekend -- Oct 6 - 7 -- Rev Smoke is bringing his magic rubs to the Michigan Decompression. TBone, Athena, Cueball, Hooker Clown, FunSize, KingSize and Cooky will all be helping out where we can. And Beefcake and Buffy will be handing Rev shots of patron in true Carney fashion!

This Sunday -- Oct 7 -- Soss Boss is leading the troops on the west coast including Chef Pimp and Dante to feed and amaze the masses at the San Francisco Decomp. Soss also plans to launch his Playa Q 2008 art project this weekend... don't forget... Vote Pig!!!

Finally, Rev Smoke, Zeke and Cooky are working on a plan to unleash smokey goodness at the New York City Decomp the first weekend of November... stay tuned for details...

Thank you!

Playa Q most certainly did not fuck around at Burning Man 2007!

Our pre-planned activities including two Carne Armada runs on Media Mecca and the DPW, the dinner that shall not be named, the Ancient Gallery's awesome black light artwork display, the Uber Bar's drinks and entertainment, and Rev Smoke's Sunday Night Fire Bar were fabulous! Our camp rocked thanks to the hard work and dedication of many. The art and gifting changed lives and lit up faces with smiles throughout the week.

Perhaps most importantly, the Q swung in to action to support the Man rebuilder crew during their heroic efforts to build Man 2. Unplanned but fabulous food gifting also went out to the Big Rig Jig crew and to Acavallo. Thank you to all who brought the Q to life this year -- from the rock stars like Soss, Rev Smoke, Dante, Chef Pimp and many more, to the dish washers to the White Dragon Noodle Crew who contrbuted noodles to our Man feeding, to the BRC Residents who entertained us during our "10 Second Freakshows" earning themselves the Playa's Best Damn Pulled Pork -- Thank YOU! You made my 12th burn magical!

I hope we had a chance to serve you...
