If you're interested in this position, please email Diva ( netdiva@gmail.com ) and tell me a little bit about yourself and why you should be considered.

About Crude Awakenings
A play in two parts, by Karen Cusolito & Dan Das Mann, Crude Awakening illustrates our so-called modern society replete with our dependence on oil to support our lust for cars, power, products and convenience. What happens when the oil is gone? Will the Earth still be healthy enough to further sustain us? Have we finally gone too far?
The nine faithful are portrayed in monumental scale, at the conclusion of their pilgrimage to pay homage to the highest and holiest deity - the Revered Oil Derrick. Some have arrived and assumed their respective postures of worship, others are still approaching from the direction of the horizon.

Re: Not Enough Cooks in Our Kitchen!
Tue, June 26, 2007 - 9:14 AMFirst, Congratulations on this amazing Project and Camp! I am totally admiring the scope and planning in the works! A very worthy crew needing daily nutritional sustenance....
Rodon & I have organized meals for groups over 1,000 people in the past. It requires a significant amount of planning and energy as you have noted to feed any hard playing/working group economically, healthily and easily (even without the inherent Playa challenges/distractions!)
I would love to volunteer for this but our lives seem to be changing daily - and we don't need the very generous "perks" - but I would like to offer help to the sacrificial lambs...er I mean Cooks you do recruit - in the nature of recipes that adjust well to easy large scale prep. Recipes for soups, curries, salads, and casseroles (originally intended for vegetarians).
I will definitely help prep/chop in the kitchen when we get out there (dates unknown) and anyone should feel free to ping me for recipes & planning advice on Tribe or scarlit.night@gmail.com
Dusty Kisses,
ScarLit > former chef - future welder< -

Re: Not Enough Cooks in Our Kitchen!
Wed, June 27, 2007 - 4:50 PMJust to update everyone, we chose our kitchen managers, Tyler and Shirleanne. They rock. I'm really excited about them. We also had about 30 responses for kitchen staff. I've narrowed it down to 15. We'll probably actually select about 10.
Tyler & Shirleanne are running the show, regarding planning meals, scheduling, creating shopping lists, etc. Moni & I are completely confident in their abilities. We're going to eat like Kings - and Queens - and Divas! ;)
