This is a reminder to everyone in the PDX Burner community (and beyond) that on Tuesday, June 17th the BWB Cascade Regional will host its monthly meeting at 7pm at the Watershed, 5040 SE Milwaukie in Portland. We will discuss our plans for monthly events this summer, including the worldwide BRING IT!!! campaign (see below). I’ll also be available to answer general questions about BWB activities and outings, including the Peru project. If there’s time, I may even show some pictures.
The folks at the Watershed will have their BBQ up and running, as usual. Their motto is, “If you bring it, you can cook it”. So don’t run to the drive-thru on your way to the meeting. Just come a little early and get your grub on while we meet.
***** BWB Presents: BRING IT!!! June 22
You are invited to participate in a worldwide event, BRING IT!!!. This is an opportunity for our community to come together and take care of a public space that could use some love - and have fun while doing it! This is the second year that BWB will support this event.
This year we’ll be bringing bags and brooms to the Eastside Esplanade and cleaning up an area that gets a lot of use by everyone, including Burner community members. If there is enough interest we could hold an urban BBQ under the bridge afterwards with some fire-play as well.
We’ll meet up at the Watershed for anyone who needs a ride or directions and head over around 10am. We’ll set up our base under the Hawthorne bridge. There is free parking nearby and plenty of mass-transit options for those who can’t come until later. We’ll also have people on hand to keep an eye on your bicycle and other personal belongings.
We’ll be looking for community support in the form of trash bags, wheelbarrows, utility trailers or pickup trucks, and of course, Burners to help fill them. And there is always a need for people to help with meals and other “indirect” support functions as well.
For details and to help organize, please join us tomorrow night!
***** Would you like to camp with BWB this year at Burning Man?
Camping with BWB is going to be amazing this year! We will most likely be at 3:30 and Esplanade and will be running daily salons along with our now famous lumber recycling project. Camp fees won't be more than $50. There are a lot of opportunities to participate in making this camp even more amazing than it was last year.
Please e-mail carmen@burnerswithoutborders.org right away if you think you will be camping with BWB and give her an idea of how much space you will need. Everyone who plans on coming will be subscribed to a BWB Camp Group email list so we can all organize it together. There's plenty of space for anyone who would like to join in making the camp a success.
