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. Mixers are the thing we always run out of!

• 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.

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.
• Packaging. Please minimize the amount of trash you bring to the Playa!
