BURNING MAN 2009 PLANNING SITE: TO BE UPDATED FOR 2010, BUT AT LEAST THIS WILL GIVE YOU A SENSE OF HOW WE ROLL

 

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

-2x4's, general use

-Additional ropelights for perimeter

-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:

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.

 

2010 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 (TBD). 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 (TBD)DJ'd by Roar Grant Peterson and DJ LAMS (nee Throbber Baron). 

 

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: 

-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

 

ORGANIZATION

EVERY "CAMP within SPACECATS" is responsible for their own personal trash management & shower/kitchen set-up, and Grey Water elimination/evaporation pool.
