Welcome to Hammock Hangout 2009: we will Sing, Snack, & SpaceCat your face off.
Here's the gist of what's up. This website lists a) who's doing what, b) stuff we thought of, whilst inspired out in the desert last year, for Burning Man 2009, c) what to bring/what we wished we had more of last year/what we already have in the desert (ie: don't bring), & at the end of the page, losely defined set-up sched/strategy. Here goes:
TO BRING/NOT BRING:
What to bring (per person):
Rechargeable AA batteries, cheapo OK. Even though we turn the lights off, the batteries in the solar lamps die from lack of use.
If you have AA rechargables, bring them. They don't need to be perfect, so if you think it is time to buy new ones for your keyboard
bring the old ones with you...they are probably good enough for a solar lamp.
-1-2 handles of liquor per person, preferably top-shelf, for the bar (packing suggestion below, to avoid bringing glass)*:
-a few bottles of mixers per person, for the bar.
-SNACKS! we're snacking the shit out of this town. whatever your snack may be, bring enough to snack strangers!
-Bike parts to fix bikes (tubes, patch kits)
-work gloves/latex gloves for cleaning/work
-Tang (we actually ran out last year)
-Bailey's bring a bottle for morning coffee. it goes fast... if everyone brings one, it will last...
-Cheese & chips (we burned through blowtorched nachos like it was our job)
*hippie-style liquor packing: (not to get all jimmy swaggert on you, or nothin')
a) buy 1-2 handles of top-shelf liquor
b) buy 1-2 two-liter bottles of generic soda water/shasta & dump it out in parking lot, pour handles of liquor into plastic bottles
c) beer in cans, not bottles : tj's has a good white ale in a can, pabst rules.
d) ask for boxes to put your groceries in at the store. They make the best burnable trash receptacles
booze: just making sure everyone knows we've got an m-f'ing bar to run. great substitutes for "one handle" are anything that provides equivalent amounts of pleasure to the masses: cases of beer/saki/wine, etc... oh shit-- sorry choir! just realized i was preaching to you.
Things We Wished we had More Of Last Year (suggested to bring):
-Flat-pack chairs & cushions, www.playatech.com
-Empty milk crates for stacking/displaying kitchen stuff, personal cubbies
-Cinder blocks (to possibly heighten structure, or make shelves)
-2x4's, general use
-Additional ropelights for perimeter
-Chopsticks: for eating, cleaning, drying racks
-Printouts of strategy/planning lists
-Small Coleman propane tanks (need to restock): Gas lantern mantles: Northstar #2000-043R, 433 Northstar, #R132-043C (we are bringing at least 2...)
Don't Bring:
Extension cords (we have a SHITLOAD in the container)
Glow Sticks (whatever, hippie raver)
Glass beer bottles (love beer, hate the bottles) NO GLASS!!!! EMPTY YOUR HANDLES OF LIQUOR INTO PLASTIC 2Liter BOTTLES, PLEASE!!!! (except for maybe baileys...)
Seeded watermelons (go seedless!)
-LOAD-OUT STRATEGY: REAL TALK: It is the job of every participant to break down camp COMPLETELY at the end of burning man on Sunday:
a) Please ensure that your schedule allows for a complete Sunday break-down- especially if you arrive late in the week. We're talking a full day of labor, not just handing people cookies while they work.
b) If you absolutely must leave early for work, etc, it's all good, just take as many monster loads of garbage as we can lash to your vehicle. And talk to kp2, jg2, Paul, or Scott/Buttercup personally before you leave. this prevents you from ending up on our "shitlist". which exists.
c) Add your departure date to the wiki so we can start to plan our load-out strategy accordingly. We're going to have religious amounts of fun.
2009 PROJECTS & PARTIES!
THE HAMMOCK HANGOUT/RVIP BAR is open during the days, hanging out, heckeling, and singing karaoke to the max.
TORNADO RIDER WILL BE PLAYING 10PM THURSDAY. let's get the word out. This is a good excuse for us to setup a big old projection screen behind them to use as a Psychedelic Backdrop and for Karaoke Drive In, powered by the Roarshack.
SPACE CAT DANCE PARTY: DJ'd by Roar Grant Peterson and DJ LAMS (nee Throbber Baron). TBD
ROARSHACK events to include 1) Electric Cello Playa Serenade; this is where we crank up the shack and visit people and places around the playa and hit them with the power of the FUCKING CELLO! Don't know if this is a day or night event. You guys figure it out. and 2) DEEP PLAYA DANCE PARTY, where the Roarshack momentarily turns its back on Karaoke and gets all Electro/Acid/House/Breaks on your ASS. MARK + GRANT - PICK A NIGHT!!
(Post Tornado Rider? Post Burn? And of course 3) ROAMING KARAOKE DESTRUCTION via Roar Shack mobile karaoke
-LIGHTING: we are still looking for a lead on evening light strategy for the hammock hangout/kitchen: (RPerry I can help with lighting)
-Better lighting in shade areas & kitchen
-Lighting strategy for bar/rope lights for ground
-Lighting strategy for inside hammock hangout
-KARAOKE LOUNGE DESIGN:
-Red Curtain, Lights & flashing light or strobe/APPLAUSE SIGN that lights up/strobes, for stellar karaoke performances...
-BETTER WIND SHEILD TO KEEP THE DUST DOWN IN LOUNGE AREA:
-set up container underneath hammock hangout parachute: sun sheild
-stronger strechable fabric with gromits, ziptied to shade structure poles, so we can raise/lower shield in dust storms: natalie's shade structure
ORGANIZATION
-THE TRASH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IS AS FOLLOWS. PLEASE READ PEG'S NICE SIGNS & PUT YOUR WASTE IN THE RIGHT PLACE:
* Burnables (Dried food stuffs, paper, wood)
* Wet Trash (We have mesh system to drape these wet trashies across, to make them burnable in a matter of hours, thanks to dry heat, will bring. Most of it should be able to be placed in burnable when dried.)
* Aluminuminuminuminum (to be delivered to recycle camp)
* Plastic recycling
* Glass recycling: PLEASE AVOID BRINGING GLASS! EMPTY YOUR HANDLES OF LIQUOR INTO PLASTIC 2LTR BOTTLES (buy 2 generic soda 2ltrs & dump)
-KITCHEN:
-we will have a grill for use and general kitchen infrastructure. we are, in general, "feed yourselfers" in that nobody pays camp dues for food. people are welcome to use the space for food prep, as long as you "clean up your shit" or get a hot friend to do so, stat! (Pegorama tip on keeping things cold - A couple of 2x4's under each ice chest elevates it off the ground and keeps it off the hot desert floor. Does wonders for keeping ice last longer. Also UV tarps are nice to wrap the ice chests in during the day. If you have a few short 2x4's, bring em.)
-Dedicated ice cooler system
- one cooler ONLY FOR ICE (for the bar. nothing else goes into it for any other reason)
- one cooler for ONLY FOR PRODUCE (items should be ziplocked in bags, preferably kept in trays above ice)
- one cooler for ONLY FOR MEAT/DAIRY (RPerry I have an extra cooler I can bring)
- one cooler FOR BEER!!! WOOHOO!!
-GRH20
(jill is managing a filtration system for the hammock hoangout), but in general, we like to filter out all particle matter into a watering can, drop in a bleach tablet, and sprinkle down the roads with it to keep the dust down. if everyone manages their own grey water to keep jill's system at a minimum, we are super-stoked.
