A beating, would be my guess.
Two of the many thingies about Burning Man is that:
1. It celebrates freedom of expression.
2. And, everyone is supposed to act all nice and altruistic with each other.
So, your statement conflicts with both of them. And, no "beating someone" does NOT count as acceptable self-expression if it was not voluntary.
You have no authority in this thread! Begone with you!
But, like I said: I won't be wearing that costume to Burning Man. I've been sweating too much in that thing even in an air conditioned building. What makes you think I would be dumb enough to wear it in the extra-hot sun?!!
I suppose there are creative ways one could re-design the costume for use in high-temperature areas. But, I don't think I will bother putting in the effort.
And, I don't think a body paint version of the costume is appropriate for the character.
How would an Arthur Dent costume work I wonder?
The neat thing is that an Arthur Dent costume doesn't need to do a lot of work. You can stand there being a normal person, and just allow a lot of crazy, weird things to happen all around you!
My plan is to don a bathrobe stained with the "mud" of a thousand planets. The mud will be simulated, of course. I don't think I can visit a thousand planets in time for D*C. A good mixture of brown and black paint, with bits of things in it, should suffice.
And, I will have a caveman-like beard with a "rabbit bone" in it. The rabbit bone will be simulated, of course, and not real.
I will also carry around a few props: A trusty towel. Maybe a pouch to keep interesting rocks in. I dunno.
My
original plan was to wear the Arthur Dent costume on Friday, with a full natural beard. Then, I would shave it all off for my Spaceman Spiff costume, the next day. But, since I have to go to a wedding the week before, and they prefer I be clean-shaven for that, I will probably have to go with a fake beard, as well. At least this gives me more flexibility: I could now decide to swap costume days if I wanted to.
Here's an updated table. Consail: You didn't copy my last version with Estellea's line. So, I got it back in. Also, I am sorting them by alphabetic order, for some weird and possibly not worth-while reason.
Since I now have a StarParty ticket, I upgraded my response to "Yes".
