Hello everyone! Mediaeval Baebe here. I'm with Recycled Rainbow, a burn event in northern Ohio. We are in a bit of a puddle here, and if you could help us at all, it would be wonderful! :) We're searching for land, as we cannot use the same place we had last year. If you know of a possible location, please contact info(at)recycledrainbow(dot)org, reply to this, send me a message, whatever. :) Thank you!
I will post a message from everyman (one of my fellow organizers), as he sums it up well.
Fire and Light,
~Mediaeval Baebe~

This is everyman, one of the folks responsible for the Recycled Rainbow
event which took place in NE Ohio last year.
We have also sold 30 ticket reservations to this year's event scheduled to
take place in late September, which is unprecedented momentum. One minor
problem: *** we don't have a place to put it! ***
We are desperately looking for land within a 2.5 hour drive of
Cleveland, OH (which extends into Pennsylvania, and we're okay with that.)
What is Recycled Rainbow? Since 2002, people from Northeast Ohio and
beyond have gathered in a private residence twice a year and still there
is no strong definition of what Recycled Rainbow is. It is a community of
friends and strangers. Last year, Recycled Rainbow moved to the outdoors
changing everything and yet changing very little. It is a four-day
festival in a large outdoor space. It is a modern experimental salon. It
is a "no spectator" event. It is a festival where anything goes. It is a
local experiment in community and expression. It is a place to try out
that new idea you have for a sculpture or performance. It is difficult to
describe.
It is, in few words, what you turn it into. You have the reigns as much as
anyone else does. Does it have a drive-in theater? If you build a drive in
theater, it will. Does it have a stage for experimental performance art?
It does if you build one. Does it have clowns? Do you know a mob of clowns
and can you bring them?. Recycled Rainbow challenges you to do what you've
wanted to do within a set of 10 guidelines. One of those guidelines is
Participation. Like Burning Man, RR has a different theme each year ...
this year the theme is "Mutation."
www.recycledrainbow.org
Specifics we need in terms of land:
Event is scheduled to take place September 25 - 28th, Thursday - Sunday
150 people are expected to attend.
* Needs to be Outdoors
* 30-40 acres would work
* No facilities are required (it's fine if they are present but we are
self-sufficient, will rent porta-johns, provide our own power, etc.)
* we'd prefer a wide open space secluded from the road
* if the land is very remote, we would find that ideal
* Noise & music should be permissible after midnight
* There may be art cars (go-carts, scooters) present
* We could potentially have events going all day and night around the clock
* Ideal if there is a source for ice and firewood nearby
* We would like to have camp fires
* We would like to be able to burn an art structure (or several)
* We will Leave No Trace
* We will financially compensate
* We will have at least one paramedic present during this event
* We are self-policing but willing to meet with neighbors, city
authorities, permanent camping residents to discuss & inform well in
advanced of the event
* Prefer a location in NE Ohio, but willing to go as far as Columbus or
halfway to Pittsburgh, PA
We are open to any and all options.
Furthermore, please actively help us search! We *NEED* our Burning Man
community's assistance in this regard and would greatly appreciate any
tips or advice on where to look, who to ask, where to advertise, and how
to better go about this. Still learning, still exploring.
Thank you for your help during the Recycled Rainbow growth period.
Sincerely, everyman & the Recycled Rainbow staff
