When would be a good day to meet?

I'd like to know what a good date would be to possibly meet up in Anchorage in the next few weeks?

My schedule right now dictates mostly early week stuff - like Monday-Wednesday. If that would work with all your schedules to get together for a few hours and start hashing out a plan let me know.

It would be good to consider fund raising options to cover insurance, possible sound rental, and other needs. I remember Melanie mentioning a film festival - which I might try and pull off here as well - and perhaps benefit concerts/art shows/auctions/etc.

We can discuss details more in-depth in person. Let me know what you guys think!!

    Not at all that I need to be present, but I'll be Outside of Alaska from 17-30APR. So, before 17APR or after 30APR I could potentially attend a meeting. You might not want to wait until after 30APR to get planning moving forward, given how long everything always seems to take.

    The monthly First Friday local Burner gathering will be happening in Anchorage on 02MAY; if a meeting has not come together before 02MAY then perhaps this could serve double-duty. Or, be an opportunity to update folks on that which has gone before if an earlier meeting has taken place.

    Seeking clarification, is the concept that the Holos is completely unconnected to Burning Man and BM Regional events, or is the Holos festival a time and place where the two events coexist together (Holos and Burning Man Alaska Regional) and are basically combined, or is Holos to be the name of the BM AK Regional event? (I think I already know, but just to be sure).

      As far as I know this can be a place to coexist as an arts festival and burner regional. Someone had posted over in the AK Burners tribe about hosting a burner regional at the same location roughly the same time of the summer - so it is my figuring that the best thing to do for turnout and participation is combine the two so to speak. If anyone is opposed to that it's fine with me too - i just figure having one big campout would be a lot of fun - and I haven't met many of the Anchorage area burners...so why not!

      Bonus with that is that we can expose some of the Alaskans that aren't familiar with burning man or autonomous mutant festival style festival campouts to a new experience in community, artwork, and self-expression.

      Weekend nights are out for me for the next couple months because of my work schedule. I think an early weekday night, like a Monday, would be ideal given that we'll get more planning done rather than drinking! ; )

      A few nights that might be good are March 31 or April 1, or April 7th or 8th. If we wait too much longer than that to meet we'll be hurting to pull everything together in time.

      When we get together in the next few weeks we can discuss what nights we can meet in the future as well - and perhaps, once I get a good time with Boot, have a meeting out at the property location to plan and prepare anything specific to the location.

        Any of the dates would work for me. I will also bring along the documentation for making this event a true Burning Man sanctioned event (a few hoops, but mostly guidelines) Let me know when the best dates for you are and I will get myself and Chris involved.

        The location of Holos is ideal for me since my Dad lives in Talkeetna so meeting at the site later in the spring/summer will be a good excuse to see him and the kids.

        Ideally April 7th or 8th is best, but whatever is best for everyone.
