Reminder:
We have a full camp meeting on Thursday at 9 pm at Casa de Smoove y Splinter (wE'RE AT 81 7TH AVE APT. #3).
This is an important chance to make some final decisions, divvy up some tasks, collect money from those who haven't paid, and, most importantly, to hang out as a group and drink some free beer. Please attend and let me know if you can't (because if you can't, I need some info from you for our planning purposes). We start loading our playa-bound truck in just nine days!!!

What we have, what we need

2006-08-15T22:56:45Z

This thread is intended to catalogue what we're each bringing for the overall camp and what we may need to buy to complement your stuff. Please weigh in and we can use this to compile our master list.

Have:
* a 10x20 carport that will serve as our shade structure, along with about four canvas drop clothes decorated with acrylic paints to expand out shade
* a whole bunch of EL wire for illuminating the shade area.
* four couches that I've collected and a half-dozen rolls of carpeting in my garage
* some random rebar
* an extra 10-man tent if we want it (downside is its "ventilation system" makes it very dusty )
* queen size mattress and box spring for chill area
* a garbage can, for garbage or the propane tanks (we need two for the tanks)
* two folding tables

Need:
* at least another half dozen canvas drop clothes, which I think are ideally for making walls and roofs that can be decorated
* a bunch of cheap small balls (anything works, really) to use in attaching ropes to the ends of the drop clothes
* Paint (acrylic or spray) for decorating our exterior walls.
* kitchen equipment

OK, that's a start

Hangover

2006-08-14T23:34:14Z

Those were some tasty sangrias, fat beats, and a beautiful day on the shore yesterday. Thanks to everyone for helping out -- particularly the handful who really busted ass to make it happen. Obviously, a couple hundred more attendees would have been nice to fully subsidize our grand designs for rebelling against the Man with style and comfort, but we made a little profit and have 180 leftover beers, so that's something. But now's the time to step up because we leave in two weeks and there's much to do. The Select Commission on Mazes and Obstacles is working today and would love your help. And we'll all be meeting and conferring in the next couple days to figure our where we are. If you want to be part of this camp, pay your dues this week. Also, I wanted to welcome the four members of the Party Party, who I've discussed with several of you and who are a great addition. You'll all meet them in the coming days, I'm sure. Our standards for bringing in anyone new at this stage should be very high, but we can probably handle a couple more people who we know to be good comrades. OK, back to work.

Our plan

2006-08-08T18:46:00Z

Here are the text portions of our submission to Burning Man

Web Listing

Ku De Ta is built on the shifting desert sands between hope and fear. Revolution takes many forms. And this one, this is ours. It’s our time to rise up, impact our community, to make our stand. We’re a fortified rebel compound comprised of refugees from Opulent Temple, Space Cowboys, Disorient, Flaming Lotus Girls, Burners Without Borders/Camp Katrina, and Gigsville. And we’re coming at ya, loud, proud, unafraid. Are you ready? Better yet, are you worthy? Are you!?!?
Approach our gates and find out. Maybe – just maybe – you’ll join the rebellion and reap the rewards: ambrosia and honey, manna from the heavens, all rolling together as one. That is, IF you are allowed to enter. Do you have what it takes? Can you see with the right kind of eyes and glimpse the new dawn, just beyond the horizon? Does glory await you? Are you one of us?
Because we see what’s going down and we’re ready. Without eternal vigilance, it can happen here. Power to the freaky people!

Physical

Ku De Ta presents a fearsome face to Black Rock City, yet with hopeful clues that something more warm and inviting lies within. Visitors see a two-story wall made of scaffolding covered with ag netting that has been custom spray painted by a pair of talented San Francisco street artists. Revolutionaries manning the wall interact with visitors and sometimes blast them with water cannons. Two flames at the top corners of the walls occasionally erupt in massive fireballs. Two openings in the front wall appear to be the only way in (the rest of this rebel compound is enclosed by cars, RVs, a truck, walls of canvas, and other barriers to entry). One portal is adorned with signs of hope, the other with indicators of fear. Choose one and be put through differing obstacle courses before finding yourself in the most warm and comfortable of all possible chill areas. The shaded outdoor area has couches, gym mats, tons of pillows and cushions, an elevated queen-sized bed, a mister, and bumpin’ beats laid down by our resident DJ Smoove and others (note: we don’t aim to be a sound camp and plan to keep the tunes mellow using Ipods rather than decks). Our indoor chill area is made from a 20-feet geodesic dome, connected to the “VIP room”: an 8-feet dome.
The basic idea of Ku De Ta is a revolutionary façade and cuddle puddle core. We plan to be the ultimate gathering place and chill spot for our extended friends and family in other big camps we’ve been involved with, as well as the new friends we intend to make out there. We’re all Burning Man veterans and as you can see from our design, we’ve been smart about where we place our common areas, residential areas, and infrastructure (generators boxed to reduce sound and placed behind our truck, kitchen inside the truck, shower and evaporation pond in a rear area with no traffic). Our flame effects – which will mostly be lit at night -- will be engineered by two people who have done similar work with both the Flaming Lotus Girls and Opulent Temple. It will consist of propane tanks safely stored in garbage cans of water, with lines running through emergency shutoff values through accumulation chambers on the scaffolding and up to the flame. And finally, we will have an aggressive cleanup plan. Our impact on the playa should be minimal, but we’ll initiate our cleanup on Sunday the 3rd and require all camp members to stay until it’s done.

Interactivity

Ku De Ta is built on the shifting desert sands between hope and fear. And we intend to play and experiment with that notion as the week goes on. Our front scaffolding with be a gathering place for costumed camp members (we’ll have military style jumpsuits with our Ku De Ta logo and other revolutionary themed costumes) – but off limits to outsiders – and we’ll interact with visitors in ways that are alternately gruff and challenging, warm and inviting, or Sphinx-like, with riddles and clues that encourage visitors to try one entrance or the other. The two sides of our wall will be graphically different, one representing hope and the other fear, and we also might turn these two sides against one another into warring factions trying to draw people to their sides (ie, to use their door). We’re excited about our concept and want it to be a work in progress.
Once people choose an entrance, then they’ll engage with the most interactive portion of the project: the maze. Using wood, canvas tarps, art pieces, and a variety of recreational equipment, we’ll run them through a gauntlet that has shifting outcomes that we intend to change up at various times using a moveable wall, so that the same entrance doesn’t yield the same outcome each time. There will be three basic passages, one of which turns out to be an exit. I could tell you more about all this, but I’ve not received proper authorization to do so. Sorry.
As far as our “past history, philosophy, personal interactivity with the community,” we all have deep ties in the Burning Man world and our camp will reflect our ongoing commitment to enhancing the Burning Man project. A few examples: Scribe has written extensively about the event for the San Francisco Bay Guardian, including deep immersion projects with the Flaming Lotus Girls and Camp Katrina in Mississippi. His partner, Rosie, is a Black Rock Arts Foundation board member, last year’s Opulent Temple treasurer, and a current candidate for San Francisco supervisor. Smoove is one of the most popular DJs in the Bay Area (who regularly supports BM events and absolutely rocked the recent Precompression party) and a founding member of the Space Cowboys, helping build their famed Unimog. Scott B Free is a longtime Gigsville resident, former member of the BM Web Team, and always a creative contributor to the event’s art and vibe. Mouk has been a key member of Disorient and is an amazingly resourceful burner. Santosh has attended Burning Man every year since 1995, when he and his CCC compatriots brought the first large scale sound system to the playa. And the rest of our group are just as creative, engaging, and committed to making this a fun and interactive camp.

Fire Plan

Concept – KuDeTa’s fire are structure will consist of two ambient flames atop two 15 foot towers, one representing HOPE and the other FEAR. They will be propane fueled and burning an ambient flame with the ability to blast skyward via electrically powered solenoid switches (one for HOPE and one for FEAR).
Structure – There will be on single 25 gallon propane tank that will fuel these. It will be on the ground, contained in a large trash can full of water. The main control will be via the hand screw valve on the tank itself. In addition, there will be a safety cutoff valve in the line close to the tank in the case that the tank valve should become inoperable. A single line will go up through the scaffolding to a T, where it will become two lines, one for each blaster. This initial line to the T will be about 15’-18’ long. The lines at the split will be about 15’ long to the respective structures. The split will be in the form of an h-shaped manifold, sending two lines toward each structure. One line will lead to the structure and have a regulator/cutoff valve to regulate flow to the ambient flame and to be able to cutoff fuel from the top of the scaffolding. The ambient flame will consist of pipe that will stand up and at the ends have bleed holes in it where the ambient flame will burn. This will be wrapped in steel wool to help burn consistency and continuity. The second line will lead to a 5 gallon accumulator tank. A solenoid switch will be attached to the top of the tank. This switch will be electronically controlled from doorbell style switches from below. These switches will be connected to a master power strip that will reside 10’20’ from the scaffolding on the ground. The solenoids will remain as closed valves that will allow gas to accumulate and upon triggering of the switch, the pressurized gas will be released through the exit side of the switch, facing skyward. At the exit point of the valve there will be larger diameter pipe that will rise vertically to the same height as the ambient flame where a wide-mouth dispersion pipe end will allow the pressurized gas to escape and be ignited by the ambient flame vertically into the sky. The ambient flame height will be about 6 inches high and the blast flame will reach about 6 feet high and 2 feet in diameter for no more than 2 seconds. This is the same for the other structure and the structures will be approximately 30’ apart.
Safety – One person, Eric Dash (DASH), will be the primary contact and responsible for the building of the structure and coordinating fire safety. The fuel tank will be isolated on the ground in a large trashcan full of water. This will be at least 20’-25’ from each flame. There will be an inline emergency cutoff valve near the tank in the case that the tank valve should become inoperable. At ground level, there will be a large chemical fire extinguisher that will be prominently hung at eye level on the scaffolding near the tank. There will be similar cutoff valves near the accumulators at the top to allow control/cutoff from the top of the scaffolding. The electrical supply will have plugs at the solenoid level to be able to be unplugged and will also be able to be cutoff from the power strip on the ground, a short distance from the scaffolding. There will be chemical fire extinguishers at the top of the scaffolding to be able to address fire issues from atop the scaffolding. There will be no flags, banners or material within any proximity of the flame. And the flames will only be directed straight up towards the sky. Care will be taken to ensure that the flames are not within range of any vehicles or the road or paths where people can pass. The structures will be secured with metal bailing wire or hose clamps where applicable to avoid dislodging and misdirection of the flame. The structure will not be operated in any wind conditions that will make the flame disperse beyond its prescribed range. The structure will only be ignited by DASH and will only be operated in his presence with the assistance of one other person. The only full tank on the premises at any one time will be actively operating tank in the water barrel. All new fuel sources will be stored with an active fire camp elsewhere on the playa (most likely with the Flaming Lotus Girls). The entire structure will be assembled with plumbers tape at all joints and will thoroughly leak tested and operated prior to its arrival at the playa. It is expected that official from BRC will inspect the system and safety precautions thoroughly before issuance of the laminate.

2006-08-07T18:34:54Z

So let's get crankin on graphics! So far, the graphics that I've heard we need are:
1) the front and back of jumpsuits
2) something for the facade.

Check the pics on our tribe for the fist and starter ideas for the jumpsuit. Once we're ok with the work I'll start cutting the stencil.

\\\ Do we want to spend money or time on schwag? ie: buttons, stickers, etc ///

I think this topic will cross over multiple efforts so chime in if you are already handling something, or if you can help.

Meeting recap

2006-08-07T17:45:14Z

Great meeting last night! I'm amazed and excited by all the creative energy that so many people are putting into the camp. This place is gonna pop. To recap for those not there, it's looking like we'll have around 20 campers (all truly high-quality individuals) and our overall budget should be around $3000, so the high-end for camp dues will be an average of $150 -- or $100 for the workers and $200 for members of the Politburo who are too busy or otherwise content to simply subsidize the revolution. Those numbers could drop substantially if we have a big day on Aug. 12, when we'll be selling our shit at the Alamo Square Swap Meet (please contribute what you can to this garage sale) in the morning and throwing a big outdoor dance party on Hunter's Point in the afternoon and evening (Smoove should be posting info on this very soon). We're also renting a truck that day to facilitate our plans and will be on the lookout for free couches. We really need all hands on deck that day to maximize our efforts and work both events. If all goes well, we could offset almost half of our camp costs, which would be huge. Please clear your schedule that day and plan to help out.
Other cool stuff to emerge last night were Scott B. Free's amazing designs for the facade and maze (which he and the art committee will be working on this weekend), Capt. Bastard's trippy custom lighting designs for the chill dome, the addition of the hot and cool duo of Jen and Joan, and lots of big infrastructure advances by our supercharged comrades Dash, Mouk, Splinter, and Smoove.
I'll include this and more in a group e-mail once I've updated the list with the newbies addresses tonight, but please stay tuned and be ready to work for the revolution on Aug. 12 (that just a week from tomorrow). And as always, feel free to drop me a line if you have any free time and need something to do. We leave in just 22 days.

Truck space

2006-07-26T17:39:21Z

We need to start calculating how much stuff we'll have in our 26-foot truck and whether we want to partner with anyone to share costs. I put out some feelings on e-playa and got the following reply. Let's discuss.

Hi Steve -

i saw your post on the eplaya about the 26 ft truck you're bringing out
from SF on the 26th.

I need a ride out for a project that I'm doing on the playa this year:
The Yum Cart will bring any taste imaginable to the playa - maybe you
can help bring the Yum Cart out to the playa. I need a ride for the
cart from a storage facility in Reno out to BRC.

The Cart consists of an 8x8ft metal chassis (square metal tubing,) and
then a 4ft tall bar built on 3 sides of that chassis. There is a 3ft
long tongue sticking out of one side of the bar. Also two 4x8 sheets
of plywood, one 2x6 platform, some framing lumber, and two 6ft ladders

Do you think you'd be able to help me out? I'd share the cost, of
course.

Let me know what you think,
Sam Comen

Big Week

2006-07-26T17:37:30Z

This is the week when we find out where Ku De Ta is being placed on the playa. And it's a week when we should be taking significant steps forward on the maze entrance, the facade, finishing the fire effects, and seeing to some infrastructure needs. If anybody has time and needs a task, please get ahold of me. And I'll let everyone know our address as soon as I hear from Burning Man. We leave for the playa in 34 days.

Couches!

2006-07-18T06:17:50Z

Wahoo! I just found two funky couches on the street. OK, one looks funky - one smells funky. = ) The couches just *happened* to be two doors down from Donnie's house, and Donnie was generous enough to let us move them right in. We are on our way to a swanky chill space.

We are off and running, comrades. The truck is reserved, fire effects are getting built this weekend at the Box Shop, scaffolding and artwork are being handled, and we now have a budget and division of labor. As things stand, we need around $3,000 to do what we envision and we currently have 15 active members: Scribe, Rosie, Smoove, Splinter, Dash, Scott Free, Brian, Mary, Capt. Bastard, Donnie, Heidi, Mouk, Erica, Julian, and Andy, plus a couple people who may or may not be in. That's $200 per if we don't add anybody or do a fundraiser, and we're hoping to do both (we'd like to be at 19 or 20 groovy people, so look around -- and we've decided to postpone a fundraiser until after the playa to pay back a few of us that might float a loan). No need to dues just yet, but please let me know if you can't be responsible for up to two bills (although we're actively trying to get that closer to $150 with trimming our padded budget). We also talked about all getting cool jumpsuits with camp logos that will help the aesthetics and be fun and functional to wear (they're about $40 each, more info coming soon). Some of our next tasks and the people following them: Mary and Dash are looking into generator and greywater tank rental, Smoove is on the facade, me and the two Scotts are conceptualizing our maze, Donnie is on shower design (even though he doesn't know it yet), Splinter is on the chill spaces, Smoove is on the gear and being helped by Scott with stencils, and Dash and I are on fire (so to speak). And everybody is looking for good free couches, which we'll need for our chill spaces.

Getting together

2006-07-14T20:46:17Z

First, in an announcement only tangentially related to Ku De Ta, Rosie and I will be doing a barbecue on July 4th. Stop by our place anytime after noon, bring something for the grill or the icechest, and hang with us if you're free.
Second, we need to get together as a camp that next week to start pushing forward on several fronts, particularly the fundraiser, budget, and stuff that we need to reserve early (speaking of which, we're finding some truck companies have rental blackouts during Burning Man, so let either me or Santosh know if you have any good leads). We also need to rejigger our committee assignments in light of some people we've lost and gained and some changes that we made to our camp design. I suggest we meet on the evening of Wednesday the 12th, but I'm flexible, so weigh in. And if someone wants to volunteer to host, speak up as well.

This week's meeting

2006-07-10T18:32:15Z

Thanks to Splinter and Smoove for hosting. Is Tuesday a possibility for people? Donnie is leaving town on Wednesday, and Mary can't do Wednesday, so if people can do it Tuesday, let's do it then. Otherwise Thursday at 8:30. Weigh in and let's decide for sure by late afternoon today.

budget

2006-06-30T05:40:38Z

ok, first things first – before we figure out camp dues and raise a bunch of money, we need to figure out how much cash we need. scribe never sent me the list of funding categories i wrote last week so this is what i remember - let me know if i'm forgetting anything. i also put names of people in parenthesis who are responsible for giving me an estimate of costs. if you can’t do it, delegate! if possible, also give me a more detailed itemization of stuff you think you’ll need and how much it’ll cost (or if you can get it for free) – the better the cost estimate the better we can manage the finances and a lot of times it’s the small stuff that ends up busting the budget.

facade materials (capt. bastard)
perimeter materials (scribe)
chill space (splinter)
truck/gas (santosh)
generator/fuel (smoove)
sound (smoove)
gray water tank rental (ari)
shower structure (mouk)
kitchen/food (jessica)

a couple of things for the group:

about the shower - with so many RVs in the camp, do we really need a shower structure? would RV'ers let the tenters use their RV showers? i'm totally fine without a shower on the play, but i know some peeps can't live without one. just one way to cut down on costs & setup/teardown.

to keep costs manageable, we need to get as much free stuff as possible – couches, pillows, fabric, lumber, PVC, etc. keep your eye out for stuff on craigslist and on the streets.

Who/Where We Are

2006-06-19T21:46:44Z

After a lovely week's vacation, I'm back but still trying to get my head above water. And as I do, in the next couple days, I'll be reaching out to those who wanted to work on our presentation to Burning Man. That's mostly Capt. Bastard, Mouk, and Smoove. Anybody else, of course, is also welcome to help.
A bit of news: Jessica, Allison, and Santosh will no longer be camping with us because of personal conflicts, but Santosh still wants to be involved and says he has a good line on cheap truck rental through his How Weird connections. That puts our numbers at 18, and I know there are a couple wobblers in there who also have personal conflicts and might not make it to Burning Man at all. So, realistically, we should plan on about 15 worker bees and scale our camp plans accordingly. I actually think it will work well as that level.
So, I'm looking forward to get this camp going and plan to pour a lot of energy into it once I catch up at work for a day or two. Cheers.
