What do you wear to Seven Magic Mountains?

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation located in the Nevada desert, and the weather can be quite hot and dry. Therefore, it is recommended to wear comfortable and breathable clothing, such as shorts, t-shirts, and sandals or sneakers. You may also want to bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen to protect yourself from the sun. It's also a good idea to bring a bottle of water to stay hydrated. While there is no strict dress code, it's important to dress appropriately for the weather and…

    Morning Ed,

    I am surprisingly - and somewhat encouragingly - unhungover for someone who did two liquid back-to-back concerts last evening, then drank till 3:30 am. Conversation gets so much more passionate the later the hour. Now I'm rattling along on a private train and my fingers are sliding across the keys so pardon for the spelling errors. But I still don't understand liking something on FB. What is the purpose?

  • Ed Wetschler July 14, 2012 at 4:36am

    One more thing to Bescover: When you still need more likes, it often helps to hold a contest or a giveaway of some sort, as in "the _ _ nth person to like our page wins _ _ _ . Scary how well that works.

  • Ed Wetschler July 14, 2012 at 4:33am

    Bescover, one way people amass likes is to flat-out ask everyone on their contact list to like them on FB. Allan, you use the word "likes" in quotes below, and God knows, FB does abuse the language. First "friends," then "likes," then "unlike." I happen to love much of what Facebook does, but it is hard to forgive the language abuse.

  • Allan Lynch July 13, 2012 at 11:36pm

    I don't understand the purpose of Facebook 'likes'. But perhaps it's because I'm one of those people whose FB friends are actually people I know. I know what they do and don't like.

    If FB 'likes' are to somehow influence me, they don't. They make a company look and sound needy. If anything I would avoid a place that other urge me to 'like'.

    Hey folks,

    Bescoverer from http://Bescover.com here with a question.  When you use Facebook with a business page, what is the most effective way to gather "Likes."

    Jacquie Whitt asks an important (and, I hope, not heartbreaking) question about her Nikon lens on Tripatini's photography group:
