The Playa


	Where the once domestic and sedentary couch discovers the Z-axis.



	The 28 hour journey stuffed into the dark back of a rented grip truck finally ends at Black Rock City, where the couch finds some room to stretch its cramped tires.


	Kevin the chainmaster exercises his unique skills. Here is a good view of the steering spindle and tierods, as well as the throttle cable snaking its way up the tiller past the fuzzy dice to a finger-lever. Various parts of the motorized couch are also plainly visible.


	With the application of just the right amount of choke, the engine fires up and is anxious to hit the playa.


	Chick magnet or what???


		The couch in full regalia. On the way to the Department of Mutant Vehicles to get a pedigree.


	Nobody mentioned anything about bribery. Those mutants had their fun with me. I had Penny take them out back and give them the what-for. That parasol she's holding does more than just provide shade.


	To our amusement, an electric couch pulled into the DMV soon after. Electric is cool. If I had taken the advice of those crazy Robot Wars dudes I would have been driving electric, too. Once licensed, I challenged this guy to a drag race on the open playa. Out of courtesy I won't divulge who ate the most dust.




	Let's just say it wasn't me.


	Parked at Amazing Larry's. Absurdly huge rubber duck by day, gaming casino by night. Verily, a national treasure.


	Dan, Karen, Mark , and Penny (You can see right up Dan's skirt). So... a question: What would you choose: bicycle or motorized couch? C'mon! Good clean exercise or overstuffed sedentary comfort? C'mon!!! Healthful cardiopulminary ambulatory exertion, or complacent enslavement to obsolete petrochemical paradigms of domestic convenience? Need time to think? C'mon!!!!


	Nothing beats kickin' it with a cold beer and your soulmate on a beautiful playa day.
