So Any ATSers Planning On Going To Area 51 On Sept. 20?

OR, it might be a well organized event where people get together and make some fun memories.

Like Occupy Wall Street?

Living in dirty tents, scrounging junk food, completely unsanitary conditions, trash everywhere, piss and # everywhere, girls getting sexually assaulted left and right?

ETA: I sure ain't going but I hope to Christ somebody gets a livestream going somehow. At the very least records the whole thing for our later enjoyment. Or disappointment, because I don't think much is gonna happen. The vast majority of these idiots aren't gonna show up and most who do aren't gonna attempt to rush the base.

If someone would offer a "glamping" experience it could be fun. Not a camper etc but this could be a great party not unlike Woodstock but for strange nerds. Great food, good wine, and maybe a UFO experience to remember. Imagined or not.

I think you missed the rattlers under every spot of shade and bush.

Oh yeah. Thanks!

Oh don't forget to blame the "Boomers" Which most are in their 70's and probably never been online. Btw i am just being fecious and sarcastic.

Filming the happenings through a telescope from the top of Tikaboo sounds like a pretty good idea. I wonder if satellite internet could supply the bandwidth required to livestream in HD?

I wonder how many people actually understand how HOT it is out there? They're gonna need a few ambulances.

Well, according to the climate chart of Rachel on wikipedia, September has an average high of 28 degrees celsius... So about as hot as a cool summers day in most regions.

Not exactly the uninhabitable furnace you seem to be portraying it as.

Ever been there? It's not like Southern England at 80 plus degrees ( a "cool summer day?" That's hilarious! lol!) There's no shade. There's no water. There are no restrooms. There are no trees. Nothing is green. The sun beats down on you relentlessly. There are no buildings, though there are a few abandoned shells of buildings, all looking a bit forlorn, last inhabited in the 19th century, local miner's shacks, probably. There are no McDonalds. The very few motels anywhere close are already filled. There's a shimmer in the air as you look off into the distance where there are a few brown mountains way out there. There may be a few prairie dogs. You know what prairie dogs are, right? And there will be vultures overhead, circling, waiting. No rivers. There used to be. Now they are shallow "washes" (That's funny.) Oh, there are some plants, some sagebrush. Most of it is dead and rolls along the desert in the wind, called Tumbleweed. And that's all you can hear, the wind drying your skin so that it flakes off. It's the High Desert with an elevation of 6,000 to 7,000 feet. The air is a little thin, and if you exert yourself, you'll be panting in no time at all, and sweating. And with the thinner atmosphere, any exposed skin will burn in a few minutes. Like they say on the T-shirts: "Sea level is for sissies."

And the night? Frightfully cold. Bone chilling cold. Teeth chattering cold. If you manage to survive 24 hours in this environment you will have a new appreciation for what "Death by exposure" really means. A few years ago a German family rented a car in Vegas and took off through the desert to see some Wild West country. German tourists, people who talk in "Celsius" instead of Fahrenheit, ironic since Fahrenheit is a German word. They turned off on a dirt road, as it turns out, and were never seen again. There was an "investigation," but given the vastness of the area, and no flight plan filed :-) nobody knew what happened. Several YEARS later someone found the rental car. It had been abandoned. Given some notes found in a nearby cabin they pieced together the story. The people: Mom, Dad and a kid, had gotten lost. They abandoned the car and headed for a "base" they could see in the distance. None of them made it. They found frightfully little, just a few scattered bones and some tattered pieces of cloth. Between the Coyotes and the buzzards, they had been eaten. There wasn't even enough left to identify.

So come on out, tough guy! Let's see how long you can take it.

I could not have summed it up any better. The young dumb one's really need to gather in masse for this. just to thin the herd of dip sh*ts youths without a concern for anything. Actually this could be a good thing. A psyop for the removal of dumb young dipsh*ts!

Do you wear pant, or pants?

Do you wear pant?
Depends!

Oh, I know... we're all above that sort of thing...way too savy and all that...but is any one going just for the giggles (and to see them aliens of course)?

In good humor I did purchase these 2 t-shirts. The John Candy one's proceed's went to Children's hospital.

Though I am not attending and am an Organ Donor, I wish not to become a wet stain on the Nevada dirt by an A-10 Worthog or shrivel up in a dry environment thus leaving my organs un donatable as they will become beefy jerky.

Edit: if anyone cares, Arby's is catering the event. It's in the news!

*en masse

I hope they make a "Storm the Sea" next.. if they want to catch a wild one

Well, it would seem that there are very limited accommodations so bring your own (tent, RV, pop up camper, etc.) and your own supplies with plenty of water.
And trash bags...you need to leave it cleaner than you found it...cuz that's how we do.

Oh...and am I going, you ask?
Good gracious, no.
I'm above all that and way too savvy.

Well, I don't know if I would have mentioned the Arby's thing immediately after the organs turning into beef jerky thing... but that's just me.

Now, if a fella had a food truck, and a fuel truck, especially a fuel truck (the gas station at the A'le'inn closed years ago) he could probably make some pretty good cheddar!

If people really do go out there, the number one problem is going to be people running out of gas. That's when the exposure will become a problem.

You think 28C, which is roughly 83F is a "cool summer day"? Where at Phoenix? Palm Springs? Vegas? I'd say more like 68-70F (20/21C) is a cool summers day.

Yes but only through Astral Projection.


Ok, no i'm lying. I may watch on livestream though.....

It might not be a bad idea for people to take an advanced survival training course before they go. And if you can get Bear Grylls to go with you...so much the better.

Dude...he's like in Australia, where they have jackets on until the sand erupts in flames. They don't even start talking about it being hot until it's like 45C. It's hot like the surface of the Sun there in December and January!

I just read an article about some little 10 room motel in a nearby town to Area 51 and their phone rings nonstop all day every day with people looking for a room for the event.

I'd go just to tailgate and watch the stupid.

But I have a job and responsibilities, so I'm not going to make it.
