...million brain cells with the rest of us—and you can afford it, you’ve got billions more—I suspect you will be glad to have us there with you. Without our spirit, energy and levity, brewed from The Game’s Bacchanalian tradition, this weekend would not be nearly as much fun for the sober and the sloppy alike...
...beat in the main hall, the rest scatter to smaller pavilions with different themes or spill out into the open-air quadrangle. Volunteer dancers?men wearing tight pink shorts, women in body-clinging vinyl and hairy guys in leather?gyrate on stage to work the crowd into a bacchanalian frenzy. Pop stars perform throughout the night?and morning. Gay icons from Boy George to Gloria Gaynor have made an appearance in the past.

...residences, offices and customized vans for two reasons: one, the rugs look hot, and two, we know prospective partners can't resist the erotic pull and sensuous feel of genuine bear. Alas, the rugs may have worked a little too well, leaving our premises too funky after bacchanalian nights spent on the skin. Now LINOLEUM RUGS offer a wipeable alternative that is as aesthetically pleasing and frankly sexual as its endangered counterpart. Created by L.A. painter Christopher Stearns, the linoleum rugs come in a variety of grid, dot and zigzag patterns. Jack Nicholson and Phil Collins have had intricate hand...
