a bootyshakin' roadmap OR the UNIMOG schedule for 2009
We here at the Space Cowboys are very, very excited for our return to the playa. After our much needed break last year (twelve years in a row ain’t bad) we’re re-charged and ready to rock. We’ve got a great bunch of events planned, a great bunch of other camps we’re stoked to collaborate with; and of course we’ve got an incredible line-up of djs, from our own amazing crew, to our international “celebrity” friends, all excited to rock your world (or at least shake the dust off your ass!). We never like to ruin the surprise of great music, so you won’t find any line-up cheatsheets here (that just takes the fun out of it). but its gonna go a little something like this:
Monday night – The UNIMOG, SC djs & special guests go BLUE (Happy Birthday Chrissy!) at the Braindrop (11pm – 4am)
Tuesday afternoon The UNIMOG, SC djs and friends rock out the greeters! Just our way of giving back, and saying hello.
Tuesday night – The UNIMOG shows its dark side at False Profit.
Thursday sunrise – The UNIMOG & SC djs say arrrgh at Swashbuckler Sunrise (the saloon out by the fence).
Thursday afternoon – The UNIMOG strips with the SC djs at the Chinchilla Lingerie Show (3pm-6pm), somewhere behind our camp, listen for the Mog, or ask us before.
Thursday night /Frday early AM – The UNIMOG, SC djs, guests & a laser show rock the Flaming Lotus Girls’ SOMA. (1am- 4am)
Friday afternoon – The UNIMOG & SC djs Shissla & ShOOey rock out Rock Bottom (formerly known as the Deep End)!
Friday night – The Space Cowboys 9th Annual Black Rock Hoe Down at the Raygun Gothic RocketShip. With the UNIMOG, Martha, Jimmy, The Janky Barge, Garage Mahal’s Ganesh mobile and a flotilla of other art cars.
We’ll have a BYO cup bar for your drinking pleasure, grilled cheese and bacon at sunrise. This IS the one not to miss folks, why do you think we’ve been doing it so long?
Saturday afternoon – The UNIMOG, SC djs and those Rock Bottom Deep Enders, get the dust off all afternoon at Disorient’s ArtCar Wash
There’s more to come…. but we know how everyone likes to plan everything out with the best intentions, if only to be distracted by cool beats and blinking lights!

Holiday Acceleration Rates 2
According to astrophysics the universe is expanding, interest rates are declining and as of this week we are officially in a recession all of which would suggest things are actually slowing down, but yet things just seem to get faster and faster. I hadn’t even finished eating my Thanksgiving turkey (actually we hadn’t even gotten to dinner yet), when the conversation turned to New Years Day! So yes, every year holiday planning starts earlier and earlier, and that true for even the Space Cowboys and our Breakfast of Champions. The DJs are writing letters to Santa for their favourite new tracks and the rest of the crew is readying supplies, signing up for shifts, preparing the bacon, and trying to figure out how else to improve upon one of the best parties on earth. We have a couple of ideas, and we’re always open to hearing yours… so feel free to comment below (keep in mind that the unpredictable whether and access to Whisper prior to the event poses some challenges)
What a great way to start a new year….
seeing all you happy people smiling at 6am in the morning….
Have a great holiday season everyone. -pk.
