STUFF TO BRING/NOT BRING:

 

Just a reminder that we run a karaoke bar and are gracious hosts to many people throughout the week.  This is the "theme" to our "theme camp."

 

 

What to bring (your "camp contribution" per person):

 

  • 1-2 handles of liquor per person, preferably top-shelf, for the bar (change of strategy, bring glass) 

 

  • a few bottles of mixers or a couple cases of soda/juice per person, for the bar.

 

  • if you bring beer, please bring it in CANS -- TJ's has a great white ale in a can, and pabst/tecate rules!

 

  • 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-group to have 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...

 

  • 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 rechargeables, 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.

 

 

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.

 


 

Supplies/Items We Need:

If you can help us with supplies, that would be awesome. The list below breaks out what's needed and where it can be obtained. Please put your name next to an item you're gonna bring, so we know it's coming.

 

Don't want to be responsible for a particular item from the list below? AND/OR want to help out the process with a little more cash? THANK YOU!! Here's the link for donating: http://thehammockhangout.com/#donate.

 

 

Items needed

 

Quantity

Name & Quantity
Paracord 550: Specifications: Type III 550 lb (249kg) minimum breaking strength. 7 core yarns. 32 strand sheath structure.

It needs to be the real thing, since every time we have used something else it breaks and the parachute fails! If it is actual military surplus it is probably good. It is typically ~ $45 per 1000' roll. Amazon has some:

 

http://www.amazon.com/Olive-Parachute-Paracord-Military-Specification/dp/B002JJSP5W/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1310711916&sr=1-1

(must arrive on playa no later than 8/22) or delivered to Paul's before 8/15/2012.

You can ship stuff to:
Paul De Jong
73 Montezuma Street
San Francisco, CA 94110
415-710-0779
We had some left from last year, so 5 rolls (5000') will be plenty.

Paul - 5 rolls

Rope: I seem to remember running out of rope to tie the hammocks with last year, so a couple spools of rope would be good. Here are two excellent choices: http://www.hardwaresales.com/Farm-Lawn-Garden/Rope/Wind-Art/CWC-115454-58-Solid-Braid-p7153339.html

Save 5%   Promo Code: RB7GRINDER

(should arrive on playa by Saturday, but Monday OK in a pinch)


2 spools
Paul 2 spools 

Work gloves: we always need more. If we had 5 extra pair, that would be great. They are great to have, so bring your own as well. I put them on to ride my bike to keep my hands from cracking...

 

5 pair
 

LED light bulbs: All the lighting in camp should be replaced to LED type lighting so we don't drain the battery at night. We could probably use at least 10 LED lights around camp. These are standard-size light bulbs, just LED versions. Check out this link: http://www.google.com/search?aq=1&oq=LED+bul&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=led+bulbs+for+home#q=led+bulbs+for+home&hl=en&prmd=ivns&source

=3927a515d44d875c&biw=1378&bih=837.

Here's an Amazon link with free shipping for a pair of  bright LEDs:

http://www.amazon.com/Miracle-High-Efficiency-Light-Bulb-/dp/B001N1DI7M/ref=sr_1_38?ie=UTF8&qid=1312050175&sr=8-38

They're spendy, so I recommend taking the bulbs home afterwards and replacing one of your incandescent bulbs with it. It'll last for 20 years! Compact fluorescents are definitely NOT Playa friendly.

 

10 bulbs
RPerry: 2x floor lamps & 1x for the bar area with LED Bulbs that will add ambiance the lounge.
Extra ladders: We could use a few, but you can bring it back home with you after the event.
 
2-3?
 

Contractor garbage bags: The garbage gets packed out in and on your car, so only heavy duty garbage bags will do. We could use a roll or two.

 

1 roll
 Mable

Box of 12 inch nails: Must be galvanized. I bought a box ~10 years ago and they are great tent stakes. People "borrow" them and there are only a few left.

 

1 box
Paul 

A 3000W quiet generator is necessary at this point. I have the batteries from last year so the generator does not need to run 24/7, but it would help us a lot to charge the batteries daily. Plus gas. Can we borrow yours this year?

 

1 generator Whee!

More hammocks: We could probably use about 30 more. A 12' to 15' piece of strong rip resistant fabric is one great way to go. Scrap often has some really inexpensive strong fabric...

 

30-ish lengths of fabric

Things We Wish We Had More Of Last Year:

 

  • Flat-pack chairs & cushions, www.playatech.com

 

  • 2x4's, general use

 

  • Additional LED and/or rope lights for perimeter

 

  • Small Coleman propane tanks for kitchen (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. Re-stack 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 or keep it in your tent. 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! LOTS OF IT.

 

NOTE: You can dump garbage in Nixon for $5 a bag. WORTH IT!!

 

c) Add your arrival & departure date to the wiki above so we can start to plan our load-out strategy accordingly.  We're going to have religious amounts of fun.

INDIVIDUAL TENT PLACEMENT

The whole area under the parachute is reserved for public space. There will be no cars or tents 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 or afternoon, as is your preference. Easy!

 

Car parking is along the back and sides 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 more rows of cars than is shown on the map above, so pack it in there. 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:

 

TUESDAY, AUG 21 through FRIDAY:

 

  • map out camp
