I was at a party of burners two weekends ago, a relatively spontaneous thing, when I suddenly had an idea for a glowing sofa ( Read more... )

New heights of laziness! Glowfing on the glowfa!

There's always "gloveseat" but, uh, that's not quite right!

Nominally, along the Esplanade in front of the Hive village.
But it is my hope and intention that it should make appearances
at other locations in Black Rock City on some nights. I have appointed someone to make arrangements and coordinate this onsite.

Thank you!
I haven't encountered anyone yet who thought it was a BAD or dumb idea, at least.

and it's beautiful!

i wonder if a nickname will come out of the playa for it.

'glofa' sounds like 'gopher'.
'light lounge' is lame.
'lovelight' sounds vaguely sketchy.
'loveseat of light' is stupid.
hm.. perhaps abbreviated: 'loli' ?

Yeah, and glove seat seems a bit off as well (and might require a more sanitary covering). What about "Destination" since really, that's all you need it to be when you're wandering about the playa?

Them: Where are you going?
You: I have a Destination in mind.

Thanks for reminding me that I'll probably want to have that fur cleaned after it gets back from the playa.

I like Destination, but at a place like Burning Man I feel like my little ol' couch is a bit small and modest to have a grand name like Destination. There are such bigger and flashier Destinations out there.

Thank you!

Only in New England would 'glofa' sound like 'gopher', love.

reference to lounge might be a worthy avenue to consider - like the lounge music style, where fur and mood lights ought to fit right in.

lovelight was the name of one of the first laser light shows, which was created by some people I worked with.

LOLI. That has a nice sound to it, and it's short and sweet. I guess I was thinking of something that fits descriptively, but really there's nothing saying it has to have a name that's a pun or a descriptive term. I like it.
