Whoa. What a crazy and inspiring burn.
When I get the inevitable "what were the highlights?" question, I invariably reference our camp.
One of the best parts of the burn for me was getting to know the people behind the talent. I've seen pyronauts around the festival circuit and at last years burn, but always shrouded in a compelling mystery. This year, through the pyronauts camp, I got to know more than their incredible manipulation and performance style. For those of you who missed out on the camp experience, I'll give a one line synopsis: The jedis are solid all the way through, shining examples of humanity.
The jams in camp and the group fire performances were some of the best I've ever been a part of. Especially the jam saturday night after conclave.

I found that the camp allowed us to gel as a group. It showed when we performed together: more fluid, more interactive, more representative of a single vibration. Last year seemed like we came together only occasionally; we were a collection of seperate groups. This year pyronauts became a performance group in its own right, an end to work towards.

So what? I suggest we learn from this year, and start to dream about next year. Our performances are the art we share with the people of BRC. Next year, with ample time to plan, we should further the camp vision. I now feel there's a group to work for, rather than the collection of individuals. We should organize to have a really sweet camp and space:
A large, high ceiling shade structure for daytime playing and teaching.
A performance area front on a street to give shows at night. (with speakers and music)
A chill out space to bring us together.
Some organized workshops and trainings (published in "what when where") to teach each other and outsiders.

If we all do a little work, this is all very possible. We can follow the examples of some generous souls this year who organized and constructed almost everything for us. If everyone chips in, our space will be twice as nice, and we'll be drawn together through the process. Use this thread to dream and brainstorm.

It was really an honor and a pleasure to share space, time, and stages with you. Thanks to everyone who made it possible.
Namaste
