Dissapearing generators..
Okay, so, background – I loaned out my generator (which was a Porter-cable H1000 – 10kW) to a group of people for burning man.
Later I learned this group of people is known as ‘Bad Vibes Crew’. (having something to do with ‘Chickenhead’) Somehow this alone unnerved me..
I had one of the people sign a peice of paper that said they were responsable for replacement or repair of the generator if anything happened to it.
Now it has apparently gone missing. I say apparently because I’m still not convinced they didn’t sell it to buy drugs.. or are holding onto it for powering their next event..
And I’m sad, because I know this will damage my trust in a lot of people, even people who didn’t have anything to do with this incident. Of course, for them, it’s mission accomplished! They’ve spread bad vibes, which, ostensibly, is what they exist to do.
I think.. and I can’t be absolutely certain.. that one of them was responsable for my hazing at The Spot / Club Fusion / whatever else it’s been called. Anyway, I know that they enjoy doing things that other people might find obnoxious or unpleasent, because they talked about how they used the generator at Burning Man to play a song on repeat play for 3 days. I understand that I have no idea what burning man is like, and that it’s nothing like I imagine it, and that this is possibly normal there.. but still..
I’m not used to not liking people.. but I don’t like them.
And I’m wondering if my trust settings for other people are correct.. and that’s scaring me too..
I’m starting to feel like saying ‘Screw Humanity’ and going off to be a hermit.
I suppose I should drive by their house and take a look at the scene of the crime, as it were.

I know you don’t need my help, but if you want, you can give me the relevant names of the crews & people involved & I’ll ask around. I have a few ins to the Seattle BM community now who might know something about it.
