In The Beginning |

In the beginning, there was no website. So Mez gathered the faithful and said unto them "Lo, we have put a link to our website on the Burning Man home page, but we have no actual website other than an announcement that our doors will open last Monday." And the faithful did heed the call and gather in the computer room at the appointed hour. At the appointed hour plus two, the last of the faithful showed, relating a tale of horror about how the Man's forces did somehow prevent them from their coup attempt on the Man's estate, even despite the cunning personal leadership of the Mez himself and his brilliant kayak-borne amphibious assault tactics. However, between all this kayaking and all this waiting, the gathered faithful were not feeling up to much work. To make matters worse, further investigation revealed that they had amongst them only five loaves of energy, three small bits of salted motivation, and some cherries that tasted like ham. On seeing the limit of their meager resources, the faithful let out a collective dejected sigh and one of the bits of salted motivation winked out of existence. But the Mez spake, saying "Fear not. Bring them to me." And the Mez bowed his head over the energy and motivation and examined them very intently. Or maybe he napped very briefly, I'm still not sure. But then he looked (or woke) up and said "There is plenty here for our needs." And lo, the website began to take form and the faithful were well impressed. "If only I could get that trick to work on the communion wafers," mumbled the Mez.
