My buddy 6 posted this today. I wasn't sure if we needed some burn barrels.

Subject tribe.net listing: Some good uses for these 55 Gallon Steel Barrels (besides just getting me & the Liquid Latex Lounge to Burning Man in 2006)
Message --------------Listing Contents--------------

Inspired this weekend by the Maker Faire (MakerFaire.com)? need to build something practical... quickly?

I have another batch (14 qty) clean 55-gallon steel barrels (drums) available.
They have removable lids (with secure mounting clamps), rubber lid gaskets, and are air tight.
They were originally used to store/transport Deviant Liquid Latex (www.DeviantLatex.com) and are completely clean inside and out. Also have a 55-gal fiber/composite barrel and a cardboard/paper fiber barrel.

If I could get $20 each, I could afford to buy my Burning Man ticket and 1/2 tank of gas to produce the Liquid Latex Lounge again this year (which I wasn't able to do in 2005). If I could get $15 each, I could almost afford to buy my Burning man ticket and some water. $10 would be a good atart, and I might be able to buy some water, cheap beer, and sometthing to kill my appetite for a week.. If you have no money (like me), but still want a barrel, I probably wouldn't say no, unless you were 1) lying, 2) using them to make a profit, or 3) breeding two barrels to bake more barrels.

Some great uses include:
Burn barrels, BBQ pits; water storage or transport; food storage; garbage cans; tallow storage; air- & water-tight product storage; making huge pickles; beer making; floating pontoons; mixing wierd concoctions; water-filled tie-down ballasts for camopies or tents or airplanes or Macy's Thanksgiving Day Balloon floats; preparing for "the big one"; special effects; vacation domicile for the Cookie Monster; set of very large shot glasses; planters; giant anaconda nesting; crab traps; huge ice trays (recommend set of 6); storing illegal toxic waste; time capsules; time travel; storing Time Magazines; target practice; flag pole statnds; satellite stands, musical steel drums; starting your own neighborhood production of "Stomp"; vertical Koi ponds; hiding the evidence; log rolling practice; worm farms; rotating compost bins; playground tunnels; farm feed troughs; covert subterranian border crossing; shop vac cannisters; dipping your friends in Deviant Liquid Latex.

Barrels are located in central/downtown San Jose. Delivery available for a fee or for gas money and an 8-pack of Guinness.

    Yeah, I saw that.
    I've got two here, waiting to be carved and set outside the Juke Joint (or wherever in camp), but if you want a barrel of your own to keep and hold and love all your own, grab one of his!
