Modern Outsiders : Intro

i've been writing this:

Modern Outsiders

Freaks. Geeks. Ravers. Goths. Trekkies. If you live in the western world your life is pretty much homogenized by TV, Radio and the Internet. There is nothing new. But these are new outsiders. They are people we know, brothers, sisters, sons & daughters, fathers and mothers that don't exactly fit in. They create adventures for themselves. They go by various names. Outsider Artists. Burners. Cacophonists. Intelligent Anarchists. They are the stains of the American dream. While our so-called World Leaders are exploting others. New cultures are being born and formed from within.

Part 1 - The Bunny Hoppers

The moment you walk in people stare at you. It must be the ears. Or the fur. Someone from across the room screams "BUNNIES!". Then it repeats. The blond barkeep dances while continuing with her drink making. "BUNNIES!" Def Leppard is blasting from the jukebox. "BUNNIES!". A couple of the more attractive natives run up to you and run their fingers through your fur, across your chest. They give you a full body cusping hug and hold on tight. Fortunatly it's on the 2nd day since completing the suit. They don't stink quite yet. A girl in a university pull over comes over "WHAT THE FUCK?!... no really, WHAT THE FUCK! Bunnies?" Literally Blood & sweat went into making these full body furry suits. But they're not furries. They're just as perverted but not into the fetish. It was three days before the big event. The LA Bunny Hop. Is this what it was like for the New World Explorers traveling to different lands? Bringing their customs with them. And their bad habits. They were strangers in a strange land. Only one language was common between the bunnies and the natives. Alcohol. One of the bunnies. In dark Sunglasses makes his demand, "Bunny wants a BEER!".

The LA Bunny Hop. An idea that's been talked about for a couple years. An event that's been successful in Eastern & Northern Cities. Cities where there isn't an abundance of mainstream and independant nightlife. In LA, the city of Angels. Hollyweird. Home of TV English & Spanglish. There is plenty to do. There is always something happening. So something new is usually tested hesitantly when a Sure Thing is only a couple minutes away. The weird is the norm.

Joe Borfo, still high from his first Burn & his 2nd SantaCon, wanted the BunnyHop to happen in LA. Dak Ultimak, burnt from his first Santacon but high from HIS first burn, stands at his side.

"Hey Joe, if you want Bunny Hop to happen, you have to make it happen. You have to do it. Do it."
