the buddha bunny was badass. it was located WAAAAAY out in the outerlands, far from the city. each night one of its chakras lit up starting with the muladhara or base chakra until the final night when the sahasrara lit up and the bunny achieved "illumination", which was quite a spectacle. i hung out on its tail, tripping on acid, for much of the second night.

this thing, the raygun gothic rocketship, also located out past the man, was easily one of the coolest things i've ever seen. a full-scale 50s-style rocket with three floors you can actually enter (one of which contained a menagerie of interactive "alien" specimens). it was rumoured to "lift off" on thursday, which was a staged "failed" liftoff with the single greatest pyrotechnics display i've ever seen, including the burning of the man itself. it set off a series of mushroom-cloud olored explosions which literally encompassed your entire field of view and i heard you could feel the heat of it half a mile away. i was up close and i certainly did. at the end a pair of flaming astronauts stumbled out of the ship, completing the illusion.
amazing shit.
