Folks,
the theme camp application is in. I have requested space for 60 people.
***if you are committed to camping with FC, i need the following from you in show of support.***
Please forward this to anyone interested in camping with FC.
1)by July 15, a personal pledge of commitment. write this yourself. post it here as a response.
2)by July 15, 100 USD paypal-ed to me, fellicce@gmail.com, using the following web site:
www.fundable.com/groupacti...ction_view
if I don't receive critical mass (44) registered participants by July 15, I will contact the Burning Man Organization and tell them we are not coming. you will also receive all the money back at that time.
--more info--
1) personal pledge of commitment.
pick a title/role for your time on the playa/off the playa and describe it. remember, the burn starts the moment you commit to it. if your title / role is quiet glitterguy or groovy nekkid playa bunny, that is fine, great, terrific.
the point of this is to think about it and talk about the gift that is you, the gift you are bringing to the burn. you must write a description, think of this as part of the application process. woody allen says that 80% of success is showing up. this is not a graded essay. think of it as pass/fail. if you write one, you pass. since the theme of burning man this year is evolution, you may want to think about how you have evolved since your last burn.
in addition to any new roles and commitments you are taking on in the above essay, to camp with FC you also need to commit to a team that supports the camp
they are:
-set up & early arrival, includes dealing with a truck and storage off playa, greeting people as they arrive, etc (this requires early commitment in reno, and the ability to rent/drive a truck)
-daily deputy mayors, representing FC on playa at the homestead
-wellness and communications pirates - a safe place for communications...
-public space advocates and angels, keeping our shade structure an inviting public space, includes event scheduling, if any....
-water nymphs, includes creating showers, grey water, evap pond and disposal
-clean up, break down, return to storage, and final LNT on playa, and cleaning out the truck. requires a Tuesday stay in Reno. you will be given a 20$ meal stipend.
There are 6 teams. each team requires a minimum of 7 people, and a max of 10. this team structure supports the estimated theme camp attendance of 40-60 people.
you will notice that there is no kitchen this year. the kitchen is a labor and monetary intensive endeavor, requiring at least 3 people per day (monday - saturday) to keep it running smoothly, plus a kitchen goddess. Cass was an amazing kitchen goddess last year. if there are 20+ people interested in keeping the kitchen, then we'll see.
so, when submit your personal commitment and team commitment, please also indicate if you are interested in supporting the kitchen, and how.
2) a monetary commitment of 100 USD via fundable :
www.fundable.com/groupacti...ction_view
The fee is higher than in the past. The camp costs approx 4400 smackeroos. This includes *truck rental +gas+cleaning ~ 2000
*storage for a year ~1500
*etc fund ~500 (key lockouts, food for the load out crew, emergencies, next year's fund)
*fundable and paypal service charges. 400 - if we don't meet our goal of 4400 by july 15, fundable will send it all back.
if we receive a green rating of Leave No Trace from burning man, then 50$ will be returned to each camper by December.
by paying into the camp, you are personally and team committing as described above, as well as committing to the following LNT pledge:
*If you make a mess on the playa, do not cover it up. Ask for help resolving it.
*Each participant in FC camp is asked to pack out at least one extra bag of MOOP that did not originate from you. Is this something you can agree to?
*Each participant gets to choose how they will fulfill this commitment and express the LNT values of Black Rock City. LNT is a cornerstone of Burning Man, and we encourage you to choose a commitment that works for your style on the playa.
Some examples:
*Carry a small grocery bag around daily and attempt to fill it.
*Picking up for 15-20 minutes daily after waking up.
*Organize a recycling program.
