Road Warrior Over the weekend, a group of Mad Max fanatics went out to the desert outside of LA and created their own camping Bartertown for a three-day-long Road Warrior weekend. How amazing was it? Well, they not only had their own working gyrocopter, but even a Thunderdome (albeit, more circle than dome) with mock two-men-enter-one-man-leaves fights.

Now, you could say, “is this any less geeky than pretending to be a wizard in a state park while throwing bean bags at cardboard knights?” And the answer would be “no, not really. But it sure looks a lot cooler.”
