TO BRING/NOT BRING:
just making sure everyone knows we run a karaoke bar and are gracious hosts to many people throughout the week. this is the "theme" to our "theme camp". great substitutes for "one handle of liquor" are anything that provides equivalent amounts of pleasure to the masses.
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 (change of strategy, bring 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! Cheese & chips are a really great snack option. we burned through blowtorched nachos last year like it was our job. and Tang (we actually ran out last year).
- If you are sober/non-drinker, please bring some mixers and/or some other magical substitute with which to share your awesomeness. Our mission is to build experience and community, so as long as you "bring it", no worries!
- a tent/sleeping arrangement, food, & water for the week. Please pre-arrange with your camping sub-pod a grey-water, shower, and kitchen strategy.
OTHER TO BRING: STRONGLY SUGGESTED
- Bike parts to fix bikes (highly suggested) (tubes, patch kits)
- Work gloves/latex gloves (highly suggested) for cleaning/work
- Bailey's bring a bottle for morning coffee. it goes fast... if everyone brings one, it will last...
*hippie-style liquor packing:
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
We decided that the high-classitude of showing off our top-shelf shit in the real bottles is worth the trouble of packing them out. So the new guideline: bring good liquor in glass bottles, and when you leave take some bottles home with you. When you get home, buy some Vodka of the Gods, pour it into your nice playa-dusted Ketel One bottle. Place the bottle on your mantle and wait until you forget that it's really full of the cheap stuff, then serve it to guests at a party.
Cans are still better for beer, unless you're buying Delirium Tremens, which only comes in a bottle. In that situation, get the big bottles and share some with me.
Things We Wished we had More Of Last Year (suggested to bring):
- Flat-pack chairs & cushions, www.playatech.com
- 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)
- Seeded watermelons (go seedless!) or really any seeded melons. They make a hell of a mess! Maybe just don't bring any watermelons. They seem like a good idea but it almost never works out.
Kitchen:
- If you use the common kitchen, please treat it with respect. Clean up pans, knives, workspace counters, etc. Restack shit that gets unstacked. Check dishwashing setup, add water and/or drain as appropriate. Put things away, wash a few glasses... by glasses we mean plastic or metal, not glass-glass :). It makes a huge difference when everyone contributes.
- Making a snack tray? Clean up after yourself. Your mom is not here, and no one appreciates going in to warm up some water and finding day-old greasy meat snack trays.
- Whatever you cook, clean up the pans immediately after cooking. It's not cool to leave your pans for "later" when others might have a need to cook. Also, "later" never seems to come, stoner.
- Handing the pan with that last bit of macaroni and cheese to someone with the invite to "finish this!" is not carte blanche to expect that person to wash your pan.
- Ten people just got together and cooked for a bunch of people, including you? Pitch in by cleaning up work surfaces or dishes after. Everyone appreciates the help.
- If you have food you don't want eaten, label it clearly. Otherwise, most food in the common kitchen area is considered fair game for snack trays.
- No Styrofoam coolers! No Styrofoam anything! Pro tip: rent a cooler instead of buying one. They're bigger and you don't have to store them all year.
LOAD-OUT STRATEGY:
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. leave early? TAKE GARBAGE!
c) Add your arrival & 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, heckling, 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 SHIELD TO KEEP THE DUST DOWN IN LOUNGE AREA:
-set up container underneath hammock hangout parachute: sun shield
-stronger stretchable fabric with grommets, zip-tied 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.

INDIVIDUAL TENT PLACEMENT
The whole area under the parachute is reserved for tent camping. There will be no cars under the parachute. BUT... the parachute casts a long shadow. If you camp in your car, just park it outside the structure on the side that has shade in the morning. Easy!
JG2 will mark out some pathways under the parachute. The goal is to be able to walk all the way through without tripping over any rope. This is a loft goal, but also a worthy one. You can move the paths around, but try to stick with the concept.
Car parking is along the back of the camp. Stack the cars in tight so we can fit more humans into the camp so it will be the best camp ever. There will probably be 3 rows of cars. If you're leaving early, park close to the street. If you're staying late, park a couple rows in so you won't have to move for other people.
RV parking is along the edges. Stacking them in tight, nose to tail, is the most efficient method. If our neighbors are great we might want to open things up a little, but we can decide when we see our final plot.
SET UP STRATEGY/SCHEDULE: To be determined. We are scheduled to start construction strategy & camp layout this week in S.F.
