BLAKE'S WORLD -- No name, 20:47:58 07/16/03 Wed
What does a Giant Lava Lamp have to do with hogs? Better yet, what does a non-existent Giant Lava Lamp have in common with the crowd that likes to ride hogs? It will be interesting to see how the hog-riders react to the INVISIBLE GIANT LAVA LAMP.
Blake claims there will be hundreds of vendor booths, live music at multiple locations, fun for kids, family oriented events, and lots more. When was the last time you saw kids riding a hog? The temperature at Soap Lake in mid-July hovers in the 100F range. Will the hog-riders shed all the black leather and go skinny-dipping in the healing waters?
Seems like Blake, as a committee of one, is deciding for the locals what Soap Lake has to put up with. Nobody voted for a giant lava lamp farce which pokes fun at Soap Lake and ridicules its residents. Nobody voted to have 2,000 hogs decend on the town. Should Blake's 2,000 hogs show up, with 2 mounted on each hog, the population of Soap Lake will increase by 500%. John's Foods will shut down at noon on Saturday, after the store will have sold out of everything.
The hogs will suck Del Red's kegs dry. Aren't there laws, ordinances, safety regs, requiring security for the locals, and visitors as well? Or is Scotty and his two police officers expected to provide security at taxpayer's expense?
Next thing, Blake will announce that he and three of his close associates will run for city council, take over the town, change the city seal to a Giant Lava Lamp, and push for passage of a city ordinance to tax everybody to raise $25 million to build his Giant Lava Lamp.
You gotta LOVE this country. Only in America can a small fish BE a BIG one in a small pond.

If THEE ENLIGHTENED ONE, really believed there would be 2000 HOGS at his First Lava Love Run, he would have had to BEEF up Security. That has not been done. Just another municipal-myth courtesy of Thee Enlighted One? True Hog Credits go to PHIL WICK who has been putting on the Hog Show for Soap Lake in past years and will be again this year. Wicks have busted butt to bring it here and dipped into their own pockets more than once to do it. Then there comes along a guy who wants a piece of the pie and the stupid Soap Lake Chamber jumps at the opportunity to pay risk coverage. More Discrimination. Wanna bet Blake thinks he can build a better mouse trap? I don't give a Rat's Ass who could. Ethics is the missing ingredient.

As elsewhere on the globe, people in Soap Lake also have separate realities and worlds they live in. What comes to mind reading about the unrealized is the saying, "Psychotics build castles in the air, neurotics live in them." Soap Lake's feverisly hoped for Giant Lava Lamp project is ailing, it's denominator reduced to a makeshift electronic billboard type sign. This makeshift replaces another makeshift, a huge Lava Lamp banner that came first. A world where they call an unrealized dream "realized" is pretty scary territory. What really has been realized is the fact that trying to acquire 25 million or so to build the Giant has ended up being a nightmare.

To sum it up, creduality is belief on slight evidence, with no evidence, or against evidence. In this sense it is the infidal, not the believer, who is credulous. "The simple," says Solomon, "believeth every word." ---Tyron Edwards.

UNREAL... FAKE.....INFLATED. WHO WOULD WANT TO OWN UP TO BEING THE CREATOR OR PROMOTOR OF THE SL GIANT LAVA LAMP PROJECT? To do so would be like having to own that dam inflated creature that ended up being a blown-up poster child. HOW CLIMATIC IS THAT? Swinging in the wind from a pole; the brain-flash now close to it's Creator. Speaking symbolically, when you don't mind the counterfeit and are unable to achieve the real, you can buy the DREAM. Above all inflated things, the Sex-Toy Business exceeds Soap Lake's Giant Lava Project. Those sex promoters REALLY make the unreal feel like the for real. Even seems real when it is not reaL if you add a touch of hootch or dip into your private stash. The Veleveteen Rabbit asked. "What Is Real." "Ask Alice When She Is Ten Feet Tall."

As an added attraction to the Lava Love Run, A Big Woman's Bathing Beauty Contest would go well with the Hog theme. The Best Porker could bare all at the Underground Suds Club. The cover charge could go to benefit fat kids whose Mothers are sueing McDonalds cause their kids eat three fast meals a day there and look like butterballs. Any leftover funds can go to Soap Lake Lava Lamp Project cause what the world needs is more Poster Board plastered everywhere.

SOAP LAKE'S LAVA LUNACY WAVE -- (FOSL), 07:56:50 07/16/03 Wed
What does Municipal Myth-Making, Marketing Gimmicks and Promotors have in common? Familier as farces have become, lunancy is not new. Persons needing attention spin preposterous and odd yarns to get it; may have a need to still act out their childhood. The intelligent see it for what it is, watch it play out to Dead Dog! Not a favorable wave to ride on. It is another far stretch of a vivid imagination Sir Soap Lake Blake ---to think you will see 2000 Lava Love Sun Runners July 18-20,03. Who is covering your Security Costs? Out of pocket? :-) For the sake of MYTH-MAKING, imagine an army of road dusty hungry thirsty bikers roaring in. Imagine a hot day in the Sun. Imagine a Pub filled to capacity. Imagine another hot day in the Sun. Imagine a Club filled to capacity. Imagine by day three the runners getting edgy or pissy. Imagine the poker run ending. Imagine noone can find the giant lava lamp. RIDE THAT WAVE BABY. Imagine what is taxable, flows and fuels bored people stranded in a small berg on a hot summer day. Not the Love of Lava or Java. Kiddies, the frost will be on the pumpkin soon. That summer train ain't coming in spite of the lunacy of Soap Lake's municipal myth-makers.

LAVA JAVA EMPORIUM & FORUM -- Honest Dave, 09:48:04 07/15/03 Tue
Soap Lake still hot for lava lamp - Lack of actual bottle hasn't dampened spirits, Doug Clark says.
Doug Clark
The Spokesman-Review
SOAP LAKE, Wash. _ Visitors to this Grant County hamlet no longer need ask where to find that giant lava lamp they read about in the tabloids and newspapers.
There's no missing it now. Soap Lake's lava lunker loomsover traffic from the corner of Main and Daisy.
True, this is only a poster depicting the Godzilla-sized glob-burbling bottle Brent Blake claims he wants to build to revitalize his adopted town.
But it's a pretty impressive poster nonetheless: 25 by 15 feet of rich glossy color.
"A mysterious wonder of unearthly proportions," states the script at the top of the graphics.
Blake is a trim, ponytailed 62-year-old. He moved to Soap Lake from Seattle five years ago and bought the former police station/city hall.
He spent a great deal of dough turning the space into an office and apartment that is chic by Seattle, not Soap Lake, standards. Now it is the backdrop for Blake's mammoth poster.
Call me a professional cynic. But I'm betting this artwork is the closest Soap Lake ever gets to a 65-foot lava lamp.
Although Blake now refuses to discuss that niggling little detail (M-O-N-E-Y), his earlier estimate put lava lamp construction at somewhere in the ol' $3 million to $10 million ballpark.
That may as well be $10 billion to the 1,000-plus residents who inhabit this whistle-stop, 120 miles west of Spokane.
Once upon a time, Soap Lake was a trendy destination resort for bathers wanting to soak in its supposedly curative waters.
Today Soap Lake struggles to stay afloat.
But even if Blake's lava never glows, the interior designer must be thanked for giving Soap Lake a gift most tourist-starved burgs would kill for.
A drawing card. A talking point.
A giant lava legend.
"It's energized the community," agrees Blake. "And I'm grateful for that,".
There's nothing wrong with a little municipal myth-making. That New Mexican town, Roswell, for example, has built an entire tourist trade around imaginary space aliens.
Is it so wrong for Soap Lake to do the same with a giant lava lamp?
Blake, of course, insists he's dead serious, that this is no marketing gimmick. The notion, he says, popped into his head one night while he and a friend were discussing civic improvement.
Lava lunacy or not, this is doing wonders for Soap Lake.
"I've had so many calls," says Sandra Garnett of the Inn at Soap Lake. "South Dakota. North Dakota. Minnesota. . . One man from New York wanted to book a room with a view of the lava lamp."
The tale of Blake's 65-foot lava lamp is one of those preposterous yarns news agencies find irresistible. Since word of it broke last fall in this here column, the story has morphed across the globe.
Radio talk show hosts have trolled Soap Lake for comment. Newspapers like The Seattle Times, The Boston Globe and The Los Angeles Times have all dipped their toes in.
Although sensibly aloof at first, most residents have now become infected with Blake's goofy vision.
The mayor, City Council and Chamber of Commerce are all on board, says Blake, who is talking feasibility studies and possible grants. He has formed the Soap Lake Giant Lava Lamp Project, a nonprofit corporation.
I dunno. Somebody must have put something hallucinagenic in the Soap Lake water supply.
Along Main Street, merchants show support by putting (normal-sized) lava lamps in their shop windows.
William Sorensen is going a step beyond. The shaggy-haired man, who looks like a Grateful Dead follower but claims to be a capitalist, plans to open his Lava Java Emporium Forum (something like that) within
days. The coffeehouse/cyber cafe sits on a corner directly across from where Blake's poster hangs.
"I'm not stealing his idea," says Sorensen. "I'm just riding the wave."
This weekend, Soap Lake is bracing for a small army of motorcycle riders who plan to rumble in for some kind of organized ride.
Blake is already rehearsing what to say to any surly bikers who might not be satisfied with his poster and want to know where the real giant lava lamp is hiding.
"It was here last night," Blake quips with a shrug of his narrow shoulders. "I don't know what the hell happened."

LAVA LOVE RUN -- No name, 21:35:47 07/14/03 Mon
The Lava Lamp promoters, now selling their posters for $10 a piece, are predicting the descent of 2,000 thundering Harleys July 18-20 on Soap Lake. The promoters have sold the event featuring a non-existent 65-ft Giant Lava Lamp, found only on a 30-ft banner hung on the side of Lava Lamp Central buiding on the NE corner of Main St and Hi-way 17. Everywhere in town are strangers roaming around looking for the Giant Lava Lamp, only to find themselves at the Del Red not caring after a few pitchers whether the Giant Lava Lamp is real, or not. Most leave town swearing they actually saw the Giant Lava Lamp though they can't remember where. Why build one when they are coming without building one.

Some cornballs can't make it otherwise. So move on and adopt a whistle-stop town. Having a need to FEED their own comfort zone, they work to turn a teeney micro of the globe to their own likes. Ask those who do have some culture what they think about late arrivals, those a day late and a dollar short who own a TITLE & suitcase . Ask those who are smart. Ask those who are not sheep. Ask all who are not into fuzzy alternative mind-benders. They can think and do think. They give you that rolled back eye look and you already know what is ready to zip off their tongue. You got it, giant lava lamp is not their idea of cultural progress. Maybe some are just not leftover enough from the 60s, have some sense of reality and can not oggle over a tall boggle. Pretty plain to see who has got their head on straight and who has not; certainly separates the men from the boys about town real quick like.

Stumbled on this site by accident and read some of the posts. Who is this BLAKE anyway and why has he been able to get so much traction with an imaginary non-existent giant symbol of the 60's? Kind of goes well with wearing flowers in your head, but how does that mix with the choppers he says will take over what sounds like a very quiet peaceful little town?

Soap Lake is 60 % SENIORS on low income. This community is a retirement community, a bedroom community to Moses Lake and Ephrata. What it all boils down to is this: A worn-out few burned out has-beens make up a small minority who wants what the majority cares less about. That is it in a nutshell and who the hell made Blake God or adopted him? Noone we all know, Blake adoped Soap Lake. Jackson's NeverLand is a good spot for a Giant Lava Lamp?

200 FOOT LONG GIANT WEINER REPLACES RETRO LAVA ICON. -- oscar, 16:11:54 07/14/03 Mon
The vote count is now in. 99% of the people favor the SOAP LAKE ICON to be the GIANT WEINER. 72% wish to see the Giant Weiner stuck knee deep in the sand at East Beach adjacent the Info. Center, the other 28% prefer a loftier approach, wish to see the Giant perched high mast on a stick over City Hall. Placement isn't the real issue. One of the Chamber Maids suggested adding mustard to the Giant so it would blend in nicely with the new baby fecal tone building on Main. That shade must have replaced shit-brindle-brown on the color chart this year. Like how cool is that? The stupid ideas that come out of Soap Lake certainly would make one think there has been a lot of inbreeding going on. That's why the Giant Weiner won the popular vote by far, beating out the Giant Lava Lamp as favored icon for Soap Lake, Wa. Picture Soap Lake's GIANT WEINER FEST. & ANNUAL WEINER-RAMA.

A "substantial" grant has been secured to perform an environmental study. Sales on posters have been FLAT. The promoters are much on the run, as is Saddam. The a giant lava lamp ever happens at Soap Lake, it will not ber as "imagined" by the current promoters. If Soap Lake ever has one, it will probably end up having many. None will keep the town from becoming a Ghost Town.

Several hundred posters were printed and sales are flat. Big loss for the promoters. One of the officials whose name appears on the poster has taken legal action to stop further distribution and sale of the poster. Inside information on the street is that the promoter is vacating, fed up with attacks.

Whoever conjured up the idea of printing names of elected officials and economic development head honchos on the giant lava lamp posters must be thinking names are up for grabs. Unless names are quite famous, they don't add up to give any more spice or zip than if they were left off. It is a cold shot to place a electee's name on a poster unless there is prior sanction, especially when venturing into commercial sales and and advertising on the internet. Appears similar thinking was applied to grabbing the lava image. Baffling to me that ethics and simple courtesy can mean so little.

What if a bimmer runs into the bummer? Kaput! Better hurry and marinate your kabobs, throw away your George Forman grill, get out the skewers and hit Main street for a 50 ft. high barbecue party around the hot lava globe while it is still standing.

Keep in mind, the local level is only a miniscule of the greedy abusive power trips that go on in the bigger picture of higher-up government. When officials begin to realize it is high time to put an end to the subliminal, stop endorsing vague and omissive suitcase projects that supply a window of opportunity to every greedy hairbrain scam that crosses their table, economc development and the public trust will increase by leaps and bounds. OUR tax dollars OUR collective revenue. Tax dollars should not to be shelled out for the frivilous and haphazard to ever greedy Tom, Dick and Harry that shows up at the government trough bearing wants. Many of these scams show little if any credibility when it comes to feasibility regarding any number of hairbrain dreams, concepts and designs, but these cooties still poke around in the pork barrel trying to find funding for their off the wall get rich schemes.
gned so as to foremost feather their own nest.

Believe it or not, TERRY BREWER had the audacity to tell the press,..."we need someone with capital that is willing to spend it." Sure as anything when the Giant Lava Lamp story broke, Brewer was quoted. TERRY BREWER is connected with a Grant County Economic Development Group, paid aid to local municipalities who join to seek funding sources. Brewer is also is area rep. re WA-CERT. Excuse me Terry. The giant lava lamp was never a Municipal Public Works Project. What is Brewer thinking? He is back in the saddle still. HELLO!

To Harvey: We too are turned off by the way the giantlavalamp.com. webmaster replied to your posting.
Because your posting did not agree with the project concept is no excuse to tell you to "PISS OFF" and infer that you are a "latte sucking holier than thou left winger". Why would the site's webmaster imply you are a guy who drives a leather upholstered BMW. Could he be envious of the rich, hates the rich cause they are already rich and he wants to get rich. Paradoxically, he is the same guy looking for a rich philanthropist to fund his lava lamp project. Well, he just up and alienated a big majority, many in the world along with the philanthropists. Nothing wrong with them BMW drivers who drink lattes at Starbucks. Such a display of anger, ignorance and imaturity was uncalled for. Time to get on Dr. Phil show. Dr. Phil asks, "How is it working for you?" A reply like Harvey got from the giantlavalamp webmaster doesn't work. It could not help but make people think the lack of visitors at the mineral ghost town must be due to bad attitudes. Is Soap Lake too small to have a pharmacy where people can get Prozac?

Prozac? The bunco scheemers and associates don't need PROZAC: they grow GRASS and they smoke stems and seeds while they grow and sell the buds and flowers while they ride the internet scamming their way on to front page headlines!

SOAP LAKE GIANT LAVA LAMP POSTER PARADE RAINED ON -- ~, 06:42:55 02/26/03 Wed
Th world-wide web is full of colorful comments, much jest being made over Soap Lake's giant publicity scheme. They are raining on Brent's parade like giant snowballs coming down hard. One of the best comments to consider: RAIN ON HOT LAVA GLOBE BURSTS GLOBE. Washington State has a heavy rain belt, even the desert climate at Soap Lake gets more than their share of nasty cold rain, sleet, hail and plenty of icy snow. Worst comments: "the organization building this is funded so I think they would have enough money to make it possible" {FALSE} " Maintinance would probably not be a problem because the city and a private foundation would e servicing it." {FALSE} From the WA-CERT application (and maybe between) to the pixel images used, seems to turn up looking on the FALSE side rather than TRUE side. Makes people very leery of this project.

How the hell do these Soap Lake peanuts think they are going to transport this 65 foot Giant Lava Lamp to Soap Lake or do they plan to build in right in the middle of the street as their stupid posters show. (NUTS-NUTS-NUTS and more NUTS) Maybe they have never heard the song, "I'M ALL SHOOK UP." Undue shaking or sharp impacts, especially during transport of the display device, can cause total or partial emulsification of the globule. Another brainflash or brainstorm won't fix that.

Manufactors have recommended Lava lamps are for ages 6-8 years and up. Neverland sounds like the right spot. These un-hip Soap Lake motion lamp enthusiasts are neophites trying to duplicate commercial models. They will have a very hard time duplicating that display in a 65 ft. giant, fairly complicated to balance the compounds, source of heat, size of globe and the secret ingredients are guarded very closely. The Soap Lake tourists may never see the golden opportunity to sit back, become transfixed and veg-out at the feet of the 65 ft. Giant. People from all over the globe wanting to worship an icon or be healed may have to seek out one of those other icons, possibly the icon said to weep or the one said to bleed every so often. Last resort..take home a Giant Lava Lamp Poster. What will they dream up next? Annointed prayer cloths with motion lamps on them?

Few approx. tips: A norm (maybe 4 footer) Giant Lava is heated with a frosted 100 watt R20F bulb, takes 5-6 hours or more to warmup. Best operating temp. around 21oC/65oF to 23oC/720F. Experts say never operate for more than 10 hours at a time and if exposed to direct sunlight the colors will fade. Often lamp may beome cloudy, doesn't do well when shook and goo can peter out in a few years.
How on God's Green Earth is this Soap Lake Giant going to keep it's color in direct desert infra-rays? And how many watts to heat a 65 footer? How much energy will it consume a month? What will that energy bill be per month? How many hours a day will it operate? Day or night? Night and day? When it peters out then what? Having no history of lava, these Soap Lake dudes must be dreaming. Last but not least, just what is Haggerty's secret formula. Bet you got that figured out too. :-)

Lava is used as a generic term but not under intellectual property laws. Lava World International closely monitors how publisher's print the word "lava" in connection with motion lamps. The Soap Lake giant lava lamp picture was released world-wide. Shows not much respect for property rights.

LAVA LAMPS NEED TENDER LOVING CARE. -- Evie Watkins, 16:03:35 02/23/03 Sun
To all you lava lamp lovers: Lava Lamps are colorful cozy creatures that enjoy TLC just like you. They like setting around with you in your parlour, your bedroom and other nice toasty safe spots where they won't get hurt, shaken up or broken to pieces. After a few years with you they depend on you to see that their fluid is replaced if you find they appear to ooz less and less, get filmy and look dull. They do not like cold, freezing rain and snow turns them off. They aren't meant to be too tall, work too hard, live outside all the time or be plagued by bugs and birds. They won't live long under harsh conditions. After hearing about Soap Lake's horrendous oversized giant lava lamp setting in the middle of the street, being expected to work it's guts out twenty four seven, a group of the likes of them got their globs together and decided it was their duty to conduct an intervention to save the Soap Lake giant lava lamp from a hard life ahead. What could they be planning to do? ... Evie Watkins

Nothing to fret about, only someone from a backwoods town would come up with such an unfeasible idea as a 65 foot giant lava lamp. The kitsch will not work and the idea will end up having to be trashed. Anyone with brains should known that and put the kibosh on it early on. These youthful thinking glory seekers haven't a clue what they are up against or who and what they are going to run into. By the way the lava lamo inventor died in mid 2000. Haggerty Enterprises Inc. is still alive and well, holding onto the rights and secret. Blake and crew have their work cut out for them.

NO SERVICE & MAINTENANCE CONTRACT OR AGREEMENT EXISTS BETWEEN SOLA LALA & CITY OF SOAP LAKE. -- Jerry, 11:32:17 02/23/03 Sun
To date, CLAIM is still being made on www.giantlavalamp.com. Service and maintenance of the giant lava lamp structure has never been approved or voted on by City of Soap Lake and a joint service & maintenance collaboration does not exist between City of Soap Lake and SOLA LALA, which is a private foundation connected to the Giant Lava Lamp project. The claim is outright misleading. To say...."will be provided" while operating from no official base, certainly sends up a red flag. Because City has never ever agreed to provide, claim would have to be considered false.

Did you ever wonder how long pot stays in a person's lungs? The peace and love groupies that used controlled substances back in the 60s claim they have perodic flashbacks. Glad to be a conventional forties grad rather than a 60s flower child. If it came to a vote on whether to build a giant lava lamp or not, majority of soap lake people would vote a big no. The dream of one man should not take priority over other's dreams. The publicity overkill trappings are usually found to be induced by a dreamer seeking to gain something. Anyone caught in the dreamer's riptide tags along thinking they too have something to gain. The art of salesmanship at work is the tender trap many fall into.

The commissioner named on Brent's poster, does wear more than one hat, appoints committee that selects by priority projects in Grant County to be funded. Matter of ethics: Adding that name leads us to BLack's legal definition of the "doctrine of fairness." This perilously borders on a prejudicial issue, especially when name has been used without person's knowledge or permission and posters have been advertised and sold. Could be that nothing is scared when your hell-bent to shove your dream up everyone's derriere; whether the silent majority of the population in the community wants it or not hasn't seemed to matter much.

Want to build the largest lava lamp in the world..eh? I say go for it. Build it 18 meters high, fill it with colored gloop, and stick it smack dab in the middle of the street where cars can't miss it! That is where their colored mockup shows the lava lamp placed or rather "found" in Soap Lake, Washington. According to their picture, they deserve the Goofball Award. How could anyone miss seeing how diligent they have worked at seeking recognition and what could be better than getting an award for it.

Longtime Soap Lake resident, Beverly Hasper, had enough commen sense to make a very valid comment to the press. Hasper did not think the middle of street was an appropriate location for the giant lava lamp. Who could argue with that?

Masquers are $500,000 in debt, and Grant County Journal announces US Forest Service has all but approved a gift of $82,000 from the taxpayers. What does the US Forrest Service have in common with the Masquers?

PROJECT DOOMED FROM DAY ONE.
On FEB. 20, 2003, the Soap Lake Giant Lava Lamp entrepreneurs issued a NEW PRESS RELEASE which appeared on Google Search. The public became informed that the website of Brent Blake @ www.giantlavalamp.com, contained lava lamp images on site that were another's property; federally registered trademarks owned by Haggerty Enterprises, Inc.
This hitch comes right on the heels of the project's first setback. Blake's October 1, 2002 Wa-Cert application fell short of conforming to applicant requirement; was not filled out in regulation compliance. City of Soap Lake was shown as applicant but had no knowledge of application submitted by Blake, Giant Lava Lamp Team Mgr.

I did see the giant lava lamp posters for sale on their internet site. Don't know if you can do that. Sounds as if they are now claiming that the lava lamp images they used were not their property and trying to close the barn door after the horse got out?

The kiddish idea certainly needs to be dumped. How about a burial plot at the vacated sanitary landfill or the vacated carnival grounds. Both are fitting burial grounds.

Is there a safe site for such a monster? Why not didn't they sight the placement or get a location okayed? Who will have the expertise to issue this building permit and what is considered to be the existing restrictions for building the thing? Minor issue I suppose cause noone is talking about that. Hardy-Har. More imaginary BS.
