September 2-4, 2009: The Toast will be popping up on the playa in a few different locations this year!

Wednesday, around sunrise: The False Profit Tuesday Party (located at 4:00 and Esplanade). From the press release: “Homo sapiens without the [silicon gene] mutation will be leaving the world of mutant commerce for False Profit’s Tuesday Night party to expose themselves to computerized sounds that will touch their Monkey-Robot brains. It should be no surprise that these sounds will be emitted from the Unimog, preferred vehicle of Space Cowboys who themselves are a future offshoot species of Homo sapiens electronica.”

Wednesday, around dusk: The Toast Party at the Relaxomatic Plushitorium. “At the Relaxomatic Plushitorium, you will find a madcap roller coaster ride of tranquility and repose — If it’s soft, squishy, and fun to sit on, you’ll probably find it here. Additionally register here to send your grilled Cheese-o-grams to your friends and enemies. Hometown: Brooklyn, NY” (photo: broxtronix)
