Supplies/Items We Need:

See 2013 Budget for a more up to date and specific list.

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.

Flat-pack chairs & cushions, www.playatech.com
2x4's, general use
Additional LED and/or rope lights for perimeter (200' role)
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...)
Extra ladders: We could use a few, but you can bring it back home with you after the event. (Ideally several early arrivals will bring one and take them back home after the event.)

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.
