Good morning, happy Father's day to Joe, Marty and Norm,
Time to begin the final planing for Burning Man 2008. Jeff Feldman has worked hard to secure us a site under Blazin Raisin name, our job is to build, run and take down the camp. First order is to outline the vision for this year. With most of the original tribe taking a year or two off we are carrying the camp for the next year or more. Our vision is to offer a space for any of the groups that have come to Blazin Raisin in the past -- provided each of those groups comes in a fully self sufficient pod. Our pod will manage the entire site and try to bring all pods together as a whole.
Each member of this pod will be asked for two things; About $250 to cover food, truck rental and storage unit, as well as working on one of the pod teams;
Set-up; early arrival and site design as others show up.
Kitchen; kitchen team will be responsible for over-seeing all meals but will aided by others helping with meals.
Camp Vibe; This group will help with camp vibe, general pick-up during the week and any parties or events.
Random acts of the Playa; This is an emergency response team that will be available for storm work, member support and anything else they decide needs to addressed.
Take Down; This is the last team off the Playa.
With 20-30 members each person should have a very reasonable amount of work to keep the camp running smoothly.
At breakfast we say the chicken is involved, but the pig is committed. The following people are committed:
Rob Thomas
Jeff Feldman
Joe Sibilia
Marty
Norm
Faith Welsh
These are the people involved and ready to commit;
Heather (probably committed at this point)
Theo Talcott - also probably committed
Kat - need email
Winnie - I need her email
David Miller - also need his address
Steven Brooks - may be with another pod
Jeff and Marci - also could be be different pod
Kathrine Schuett - friend of Rob's
Jerry Gorde - friend of Joe's
Invites out to;
Rachael Skolnik
Miranda Anderson
Please feel free to reach out others and let me know when they are committed.
Jeff Feldman has done a wonderful job getting the camp placed. From here until we arrive I will be point person. This includes early arrival and building our pod, filling teams, gathering money - paypal is rsnll.comcast.net, renting and loading truck with camp equipment from storage unit, filling water bladder, (250 gals - enough for most, not all, pod water use, but each person needs to bring extra.), and food shopping.
Our goal is to have everyone paid and everything ready and fully planned by Aug 1.
Don't forget to buy your tickets!
See you soon - any camp theme concepts are welcome. Marty is working on Peace Bowl Cafe again and would like commitment to work cafe and help fund it. Please contact him f you are interested and able. bozmartin@comcast.net
