Hey y'all,
There are two lists that Burning Man wants from us as a village:

1. Early Arrival Approved List for entries prior to 12:01 am Saturday, August 26.
and
2. Early Arrival Weekend List for entries prior to 12:01 am Monday, August 28.

I need to know who is going to be there EARLY, as in Before 12:01 am Saturday, August 26.
There are only TEN (10) Early Arrivals allowed per village, and they must be on a list AND have their tickets in hand. I am compiling this list, and it is comprised of heroic, generous, and hardworking individuals who are setting up the infrastructure of Raisin Camp.
So far, they are:
Adam Baer
Bradley Farmer
Heather Nelson
Dave Rosen
Rich Owen (?)
Delectable and Tristan (?)
Daylon Owen (?)

I know there are other people who have expressed an interest in being part of the early crew. If you are sure you can make it, please let me know so I can get you on the list! YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE EVENT EARLY IF YOU ARE NOT ON THE EARLY LIST!!!!

I am planning to submit our Raisin Camp Early Arrivals info to the Burning Man Administration this Friday, so please let me know by then. And please let me know if you are arriving before 12:01 am Saturday, August 26, or before 12:01 am Monday, August 28... it makes a difference because only ten people are allowed earlier, and they want two separate lists from us.

Thank you in advance to the Early Crew, the rock stars of Camp who do so much before most of us even arrive!!!
Love, Susie K

For more detail about these lists, please see below. This is the email I received from Burning Man administration the other day

EARLY ARRIVALS

In order to be admitted to the city before the start of the event at
12:01 am on Monday, August 28, you MUST be on the Early Arrivals List
AND have your ticket in hand. Having one or the other will not work.
You MUST have BOTH in order to gain entry into the city.

Early Arrival Process and Approval Criteria

Just as in previous years due to BLM restrictions, only a very
limited number of theme camp participants can be admitted to the city
prior to 12:01 am Saturday, August 26. Additionally, also due to BLM
requirements, everyone admitted to the city prior to the start of the
event at 12:01 am Monday, August 28 must be on the early arrivals
list. If your camp would like to have participants enter the city
early, we need to receive two lists from your camp by Monday, July
17.

First List: Early Arrival Approved List for entries prior to 12:01
am Saturday, August 26. This is the very short list of key members
of your camp required for early setup. Just like other years, we
will not be able to accommodate all of the requests. Here are the
early arrival criteria we will use to prioritize your requests:

a. Building your camp or art project is the best reason to deserve
early arrival. If you have complex stuff you deserve to enter early
enough to not spend the whole event working.
b. Camps with high interactivity will get preferential treatment over
camps that give less.
c. There is a maximum of 10 people per camp.

The earliest anyone can arrive is Monday, August 21st.

Second List: THIS IS NEW THIS YEAR! Early Arrival Weekend List for
entries between 12:01 am Saturday, August 26 and 12:01 am Monday,
August 28. This list will not be subject to an approval process, but
all individuals must be affiliated with a theme camp and must be on
the list to be admitted prior to the official start of the event.
