Spaghetti Dinner
The Shingle Bus hosts a weekly Friday night Spaghetti Dinners every Friday!
Our intention is to provide a meal of noodles and either red or alfredo sauce with the options of meat and veggies for the community. Every Friday evening during the show at 6pm.( We may add pesto this year!) Suggested donation to help the continuation of this group meal is $ 2 per head, please come fill your belly regardless if you ' re able to donate at that time.
This is and always will be, a non-profit event.
Full bellies and community enrichment is our goal. The more people that attend, the better this community dinner will be.
All donations of food must be delivered before 4pm Thursday preceding the dinner. Prep begins first thing Friday, so please do not bring perishables any time after 4pm Thursday as we won ' t have time to prep and cook them.
Bring a bowl and a stabby thing. As always, love from the A Team.
Campground Etiquette
with Gerry Melino
These tips may or may not be faire rules, just friendly reminders.
# 1 If it ' s your dog ' s poop, you must scoop. This includes ALL faire property, including the parking lot and desert areas. Just because coyotes poop there doesn ' t mean your dog can. Don ' t worry, however, if you forget. I ' ll be happy to scoop it for you.... and leave it at your front door.
# 2 If you have to drive, You must keep it under 5. You ' ve been told time after time, But never in rhyme. So don ' t be an ass. Keep your foot off the gas. From this rule you shan ' t depart, Even in a faire owned cart. But if you continue to sin, someone ' s sure to turn you in. Then kiss goodby to your ass, ' cause you ' re about to lose your pass.
# 3 If it ' s loud, build a shroud. It ' s nice to have electricity in the desert but not everybody can afford quiet generators such as a Honda. If you have to have one of those cheap Harbor Freight jobs for which OSHA requires ear protection, then box it in. For even better quieting, line the box with egg cartons. Download a sound meter app on your cell phone. If your generator produces more than 70dB at your nearest neighbors ', you are infringing on their space.
# 4 If your dog barks all day, please stay away. I ' m not talking about the warning bark when someone is approaching the campsite. It ' s the constant barking of stressed out pets left alone by their inconsiderate owners. This eventually pisses off the neighbors who yell at the poor creature to shut up, stressing it out even more. If your dog requires constant companionship, there are several children on site more than willing to puppy sit for a reasonable fee.( Heck, I bet they would even walk it and scoop for your--- see # 2)
