pfft, that's nothing.
this is not my setup, I have nothing to do with this other than dancing to it a few times.

the DJ is in that bubble up top. it's an old Army surplus Unimog, freaking amazing vehicle.
In my life

At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye?

i guess, if you'd buy Lemur, MachineDrum and Monome from the same dealer, you get a desk and a little car for free. fair deal

Ah, the Space Cowboys... They have a great mobile rig.
I once considered buying a van which had a large platform welded on it's roof, along with a ladder up to it. I would have been great for guerrilla ambient spooky music shows.

I share your vision of performing outdoors.
Check this:
solar power for laptops:

Maybe a few of these for all the gear, or perhaps in time -as this technology progresses.
They also have a tricked-out truck for larger solar power requirements.

what about a couple of these split out of your headphone jack (they have built in rechargable batteries and can easily fit into a backpack):

Not bad, thanks! With a bus powered I/O I could use a number of these for spatialized sound outdoors.
