Welcome to Hammock Hangout 2008, a Burning Man Camp that knows how to Lounge...
Here we go, kids.
To Ponder:
Cool "party naked"-esque signage for bar (suggested name "Red Carpet Karaoke")
Design concept for karaoke bar (red carpet theme, tiki theme, celebrity theme - any thoughts?)
Flashing light or strobe that we can set off whenever we applaud people
Dedicated ice cooler system (i.e. one high quality cooler ONLY FOR ICE that no one goes into for any other reason - reduce ice runs)
Lighting strategy for inside hammock hangout
More well/artfully-defined GreH2O system
Making h.h. an on-playa art installation
Better lighting in shade areas & kitchen
Lighting strategy for bar/rope lights for ground
Well-defined Karaoke station set-up/area. stage?
Unload stuff out of tubs & put on shelves in kitchen
Cubbies for each camp member with pull-down shades/tarp for dust
Magnet station on the wall for each camper: plate, cup, silverware, bowl magneted to container wall
Better wind shield for kitchen to keep dust down: set up inside of 10x10' tent?
Department heads?
We created a more comprehensive list of everything we have/wanted as we packed up in the most organized way ever. This year we threw out stuff we didn't use, reduced the number of logs, and labeled/organized every bin in the container. Logs, futons, hammock fabric, & bikes are at the back of the container, while the bar, supply bins, and rugs are closer to the door. Here's what we got:
