SN 09 Volunteer Opportunities

PoosieKat — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 01:54:18 GMT

It's that time again folks! We're asking for volunteers to help make
Scorched Nuts: Rebirth the best one yet. To do that we need you!
There are many ways, great and small, to Participate. You can
volunteer with one of our volunteer teams, from Medics to Earth
Guardians, and give a few hours of your time to making our
infrastructure run smoothly.

For more event info, check out our website at:
http://www.scorchednuts.org

Gate needs YOU!
With the change in venue has come changes in gate. This year's gate
will be even more interactive than ever before! Be sure to be there
for all the fun and antics by joining the gate team today! You'll be
the first to see everyone as they enter into our fair 'city'. Gate is
looking for at least three people to fill each shift, so get a group
together to sign-up and man the gates! It's a favorite way for many
to participate.
The gate will be open:
Thursday, June 11th from 2pm to 10pm
Friday, June 12th from 10am to 10pm
Saturday, June 13th from 10am to 10pm.
Send an e-mail to gate@scorchednuts.org to help fill a shift.

Medic needs more volunteers!
Medic team is a needed and valued volunteer team at our event. To
volunteer all you need is to know basic First Aid and CPR, however, if
you're a First Responder, EMT, Fireperson, Nurse, Doctor, and/or
certified in First Aid/CPR and good in a medical crisis then we're
imploring you to take a shift. Medic team is needed around the clock,
but more so during 'peak' hours. Medic team needs YOUR help.
Send an e-mail to medic@scorchednuts.org

Rangers could use a few good folks!
Rangers are the mediators and 'security' at our event. If you're good
in crisis situations, putting drunks to bed, helping people, and
keeping an eye out for others, then this might be the team you're
looking for. It's a great way to meet people as you walk the grounds
and to be an integral part of many participants experience of our
event.
Send an e-mail to rangers@scorchednuts.org

DPW makes the city!
DPW or Department of Public Works, is a dedicated group of individuals
who come in before the effigy goes up and the camps come in, to set up
infrastructure and layout for the event. With all that hard work
comes some mad props and knowing that you helped create an experience
the participants won't forget.
Send an e-mail to dpw@scorchednuts.org

EarthGuardians needs a few good hands!
Let's make sure everyone understands our commitment to protecting the
land by LEAVING NO TRACE. Fully participate by not leaving something
for someone else to take care of. Bring gloves and sturdy garbage
bags and be prepared to take away your own trash and any other trash
left behind you can grab. Join the EG team in daily MOOP sweeps!
Send an e-mail to earthguardians@scorchednuts.org

Lamp Lighters light up the night!
What better way to participate and see the sights (and be seen) than
to join the Lamp Lighters. At dusk you, and the other Lamp Lighters
volunteers, will walk the city, lighting the way for the evening
festivities. You'll be part of the group that helps people find their
way home or to the next amazing theme camp.
Send an e-mail to lamplighters@scorchednuts.org

Participate!
Not sure where you're skills would be best utilized? Unsure of where
you would like to help out? Ask our Participation Lead to send you in
the right direction!
Send an e-mail to participate@scorchednuts.org

WickerMan 2009

Kate — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 19:06:39 GMT

WickerMan 2009
Set-up May 15-17, The Burn May 21-25

WickerMan brings together Burn Culture, the Art of Giving and Ecological Responsibility in a festival that depends on the Radical Self-Expression of each individual. Based on the tenets of Burning Man of the Black Rock Desert, we actively incorporate their founding principles- Communal Participation, Decommodification, Radical Inclusion and Radical Self-Reliance. In essence, at WickerMan, Radical Self-Expression Meets Radical Earth Spirit.

We convene to celebrate what we as individuals offer to the community, through Art, Gifting and Self-Reliant Participation. Together we commune within the land to build and burn the biggest Man east of the Mississippi River. Individual participation is what makes this event happen, we depend on each other for content and execution. Every contribution, from Volunteering to Art Creation is essential to facilitate this WickerMan. What do you bring to the table?

Art, in its many mysterious ways, is at the core of this event. WickerMan offers over $6000 in Art Grants to fund a variety of initiatives, everything from Theme Camps, to beautiful Installations, Altars and Performance. Through Action and Creation we transcend the expected and stretch the paradigm of the possible.

WickerMan will again take place at Four Quarters of Artemas, PA, a beautifully ecologically diverse campground. Four Quarters has natural swimming holes in Sideling Creek, rolling meadows and pine forest. Four Quarters also has a great Ride-Share database to help you carpool to the event. Bring yourself and your inspiration to be a part of a community separate from the 'default world'. Check out www.wickermanburn.org for more information, Art Grants, voluteering and event registration.

WELCOME:
Hey all! I am pleased to announce that beginning this week Scorched Nuts 2009 planning is underway. Although no theme is set yet, we plan to focus on bringing more large scale and interactive art and theme camps to this year's event. Due to the highly successful fund raiser Carnivolution, we will be able to supply art grants to many people who apply, as well as having a good fund to start the necessary arrangements. While we love Hannon's Camp America and hope to return with some of our events, we are currently begin to search for other spaces which may serve our growing community. If you know of a property you think we should check out, please send me a link so we can find out if it might be a good fit.

MY ROLE:
As of this time I am considering myself the General Coordinator, the position I have held the past 2 years. My responsibilities include but are not limited to:

Areas that you can volunteer for this year are:

Budget and Logistics
Marketing and Media
Ticketing
Volunteer Coordinator
Performance Coordinator
Art Grants
Art recruitment
Rangers
Medics
Earth Guardians

MEETINGS:

Please get signed up on koiburners.com to get involved in the discussions and decisions that will be surrounding SN09. There will be a lot coming up and we would love to hear from you!

Town Hall Meeting and future event planning

Angie — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 00:57:30 GMT

Hey yall peps! We have been discussing when to get together and have a community discussion about things to come in the next year. It looks like for now the best time will be Saturday August 2nd! We will announce a location soon but we are looking for a park shelter to have a potluck picnic and we will try to make it a central location so travelers will not have to go to far out of the way.
It is the goal of this meeting to discuss the pros and cons of past events, look for volunteer coordinators to step up for octOHburn and future events, find out what events the community is looking to have and generally get things organized for the next season of burns.
The meeting will most likely be run by myself or Poosie, although my attendance largely depends on my baby's arrival ;) We will be in touch as more details develop!

Recycled Rainbow Seeks Freaks, Geeks, Human Stars & Art Cars!

Mediaeval Baebe — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 18:34:26 GMT

(This message is posted on a few different tribes: Don't worry, you're not going crazy...or are you?)

Pyrophonicville (RR) -- Recycled Rainbow 2008 is looking like it will be bigger and badder than ever. Head gatekeeper and queen Mediaeval Baebe reports that there are many new ideas for 2008, and many new faces.

"We found some fantabulous land this year!" she said excitedly, jumping up and down and spilling her absinthe. "One of the gorgeous freak things has been working on an art car for a few months now, and there will be a burlesque performance Friday night. I hear they're seeking performers for it."

When asked about the term "gorgeous freak things", Mediaeval Baebe pointed to a group photo of people otherwise known as "burners", or "those lame ass drug addicted dirty hippies" according to Fox News.

"There are loads of ideas and shenanigans being planned for RR this year. I don't even know WHERE to begin." MB reported. "We invite YOU to bring YOUR thing. Here's the stage, now you have the freedom to show your stuff."

Recycled Rainbow will be held Thursday, September 25th - Sunday the 28th. Tickets are on sale now. To purchase tickets (and get more information), visit the website @ http://www.recycledrainbow.org

Fire Kids Unite! It's the Scorched Nuts 08' Conclave!!!

Grimm — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 20:31:42 GMT

Hello lovelies!
At Scorched Nuts Uno, were were graced with many talented performers of many disciplines that came together for an amazing pre burn performance. Next year we hope to have more, and of course a bigger, badder (and more organized) show. I am opening the roster far in advance, and it is my hope to bring these talents together in a more collaborative setting, to better utilize these skills and deliver a show S.N. participants will never forget! I would like to incorporate more of our beloved performers other skills, such as our lovely bellies, and discuss the possibility of set choreography and score from the many musicians that blew us away last time.

If you are up to the challenge, or simply want to be involved in the chaos, you may contact us at incendiumarts@yahoo.com.
Please include your name, specialties/tools, and a telephone number where you can be reached, and I will keep you updated on new additions to the roster as they come in. Thank you all and see you in the forest!!!

Scorched Nuts Info!

PoosieKat — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 02:37:14 GMT

Hello Scorched Nuts Participants!

First and foremost I would like to thank you for purchasing a ticket to our event. We're all looking forward to seeing and playing with you in just a few short weeks. The time is passing by so quickly. We have just over two weeks before we all have to be packed, loaded, and on our way.

This is our first ever announcement straight from us to your inbox! We have a request for some info, but mainly it's all about informing you about what to expect, what you need to know, and a little teaser thrown in for good measure.

Here's a run down (in order) of what you'll find in this announcement:
Extra ticket sent to you?
Survival Guide basics
Minors at the event
Gate times
Gate policy/parking
Red Light District and nudity
Leave No Trace (LNT)
Volunteer opportunities
Event teaser
10 Principles

So read on! And remember, as always, if you have a question (or comment) send it on in, we'll answer as fast as we can. :D

Can't wait to see you all at HOME!
April / Poosie Kat
SN Ranger Coordinator

*********************************
Extra ticket sent to you?

A little while back we ran into some ticketing system problems and as a result there may have been a few of you who received a ticket (or two) that you didn't originally purchase. We're asking that if you are one of these people that you e-mail us with the ticket number(s) and when you purchased your ticket. That's all. Since that time things have been straightened out and everyone who purchased a ticket should either have theirs, or it should be to them within a week or two of purchase.
And remember, the $40 on-line and vendor ticket sales end June 12th. After that all tickets will have to be purchased at the gate for $50 each. If you know someone who's still thinking about coming out please remind them of the end of the $40 tickets. THANKS!

**********************************
Survival Guide

Don't forget to read over the Survival Guide. It contains information on everything from what to do if you forget your ticket to animals at the event. Read it over once, then go back and read it again. There will be portions that apply to some more than others, but really, it all applies to everyone.

http://www.scorchednuts.org/survival.html

***********************************
Minors at the event

Unfortunately someone under the age of 18 is still considered a minor/child by law. We have to follow that thinking. Without a parent or legal guardian then a person under the age of 18 will not admitted. This is due to the fact that if a medical emergency arises for anyone considered a minor by law we can get into serious trouble giving them care. If we had some sort of written consent on file from their parent/legal guardian we might be able to admit them, however, at this time we have no such consent forms to fill out or the protocol with which to handle them. I'm sorry about the inconvenience. I know that the Survival Guide says that anyone under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult 21+ years of age, disregard that. We unfortunately can't allow that at this time due to state laws. As always, if you disagree with a law it's up to you, as a constituent, to contact your representatives (local and beyond) to let them know what you think and why you think it.

*************************************
Gate Times

The gate will be open:

Thursday, June 19th: 2pm to 10pm
Friday, June 20th: 10am to 10pm
Saturday, June 21st: 10am to 10pm
Sunday, June 22nd: Closed for arrivals....it's exodus time.

**************************************
Gate Policy

Tickets at the gate will be sold for $50.

If you arrive when gates are closed, you have to have a valid ticket (sorry no ticket sales when gates are closed). Please park in a safe location up stairs where the cabins are located and find a SN volunteer wearing a SN bandanna or carrying a walkie talkie. They will contact the Gatekeeper and arrange for your car to be let in. Avoid late arrivals if at all possible!

Come prepared to stay, bring everything you need because you are not allowed to go in and out once you arrive. The idea is that everyone is coming to stay, we don't want a lot of in and out traffic (it makes the gate crew's job that much harder) and we need to have a closed and subdued gate at night. If you want to come and participate, come in the daylight (easier to set up camp) and come prepared to stay. Exceptions will be made for emergencies but most be authorized with the Head Gatekeeper.
****************************************
Red Light District and Nudity

This year we have a Red Light District (RLD). No, this does not mean we have prostitutes ready for business (this is a non-vendor event after all....heeheehee). The RLD will be where adult-themed theme camps will be located. If you know that you're not okay with seeing adult-theme activities, have children you don't want to see these activities, etc, then do NOT go into the RLD. We are encouraging folks to take their love of porn, exhibitionism, mass lovin's, etc to camp in the RLD, and make it as adult as we can. So, if your camp is known for it's orgies, it's porn showing, beaver eating contests, or the like, then the RLD is the place for you. It will be very clearly marked. There will be red lights denoting it's entrance. We are doing this for the safety and comfort of those that are camping in the RLD. It's up to YOU to police what YOU see and do. You are responsible for yourself and the type of activities you participate in. If you don't like it, don't participate in it, there are more than enough activities of various kinds taking place around Scorched Nuts.

As for nudity, it will, like last year, be allowed all over Scorched Nuts. If you don't like to see peoples jiggly bits, don't look at them. Just because someone is naked does NOT mean that they are participating in adult-themed activities, just that they happen to have nothing covering their skin. If being nude is your thing, feel free to disrobe once you're in Scorched Nuts.

*****************************************
Leave No Trace (LNT)

LNT practices are more than simply encouraged, they are your responsibility as a Scorched Nuts participants. You will be expected to take your trash with you when you leave (pack it in, pack it out), to pick up trash (MOOP - Matter Out Of Place) whenever and where ever you find it, and to generally make sure that Hannon's Camp America (our wonderful hosts) is as clean, if not cleaner than, when you arrived. Everyone is to do a camp sweep for MOOP before they leave, but doing it as you go is also encouraged. There will be NO dumpsters on site. You are NOT to dump your trash on the side of the road when leaving Scorched Nuts, not only is it unsightly, it's also littering, which is illegal.

For more LNT information and practical practices go check out these sites:
http://afterburn.burningman.com/06/community/earth_guardians.html
http://www.burningman.com/environment/lnt_outdoor.html
http://www.lnt.org/

LNT is everyones responsibility.

*****************************************
Volunteer opportunities

Volunteer opportunities are still available, even after you arrive.

You could volunteer some time at Gate (gatekeepers@scorchednuts.org) taking tickets, welcoming participants home, and being the first person people see when they arrive. It's a fun way to pass some time and meet some new people.

You could volunteer some time with the Lamplighters (lamplighters@scorchednuts.org) helping to bring light to our fair event every day at dusk. It's a much needed activity and a fun way to see what's around and to participate in yet another way. It's always a joy to see the Lamplighters doing what they do.

You could volunteer some time with the Rangers (rangers@scorchednuts.org) being a calm, patient mediator. The Rangers walk about the grounds insuring that everything is running smoothly, connecting people to each other and other volunteer opportunities, educating participants, and taking care of emergencies if they happen to arise.

You could volunteer some time with Earth Guardians (earthguardians@scorchednuts.org) going around picking up MOOP, educating participants on LNT practices, and generally helping to ensure that we leave the campgrounds as clean (or cleaner) than we found them.

You could volunteer some time with Medics (medics@scorchednuts.org) to make sure that if anyone has a medical problem/emergency that they are taken care of. Any major emergency will require outside help. You don't have to be a doctor, EMT, or nurse to help out, though that's always helpful. Contact Medics for more information if you're interested.

If you're a fire performer and want to be a part of any group fire performance you should contact the Fire Conclave (fireconclave@scorchednuts.org). All fire performers are required to have at least one safety who is up on their safety duties and are encouraged to contact the Fire Conclave Coordinator. Contact Fire Conclave for more info.

If you're a performer of any other sort and want to perform in Center Camp or want to be listed as one of the events taking place, you should contact the Participation Coordinator (participate@scorchednuts.org) or the Performance Coordinator (performance@scorchednuts.org).

***********************************************
10 Principles

Last, but certainly not least, the 10 principles on which this event is based:

Radical Inclusion
Anyone may be a part of Scorched Nuts. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community.

Gifting
Scorched Nuts is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value.

Decommodification
In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience.

Radical Self-reliance
Scorched Nuts encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources.

Radical Self-expression
Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient.

Communal Effort
Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction.

Civic Responsibility
We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws.

Leaving No Trace
Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them.

Participation
Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart.
Immediacy
Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.

Thank you for taking the time to read this announcement and we look forward to seeing you in a few short weeks!

Dome updates and requests

Angie — Mon, 19 May 2008 23:09:38 GMT

For any of you out there who have offered help on the dome, this weekend would be a great time for it ;) I know there have been people who offered excess PVC piping, and if you know who you are (because i cant remember) then please bring it along this weekend! We will cut it to length in Middletown.
Also if anyone has a gromoting tool so we can make the tarps tighter we would love to borrow it! I am very willing to pay anyone for their tools/ items, but would gladly accept loans and donations.
If you offered monetary support, this would also be a wonderful time for it since we have ordered the new hardware and may have to pick up new piping.
All in all thank you for loving our dome project, but now we are in crunch time to make sure it is lovable for SN!

Help others eat and learn

PoosieKat — Mon, 19 May 2008 18:58:46 GMT

Hello folks! Today I'm bringing you a way to help out those who are a little less fortunate than you may find yourself this day. A friend and fellow burner (Beth, the gal at the end of this e-mail...she SO rocks) works for The Campbell County Neighborhood Center of Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission and they've been trying out something new. They've changed their pantry to include more options, healthier food choices, and are looking to offer even MORE choices with some help. They're even starting up a series of classes that cover real-life skills, such as sewing, cooking, budgeting, and more. They rely on donations of all sorts, from the drop off to the monetary.

I'd also like to remind those no where near Kentucky (though you can always help from afar) that there are pantries similar to this one across the country helping those that need that little extra boost to make it by and that it's donations from people like us, that can make a HUGE difference in someone else's life. Every little bit helps.

Read more below, visit their site to make a donation, or to see what they've got going on. I think that they're on to something down there in Campbell County!

><><><><><><><><><><><><><

The food pantry at the Campbell County Neighborhood Center of Northern Kentucky Community Action Commission (www.nkcac.org) has undergone an amazing transformation. Over the last year, the pantry has changed from a traditional pantry to a client choice model based off of the food pyramid (www.mypyramid.gov).

As the Rainbow of Choice pantry, we are dedicated to helping our families become and stay healthy and self-reliant. On their first visit to the pantry, our families are given lots of healthy and easy recipes that they can make from the food we can provide. Also on the first visit (and at any other time it is requested), we have a one-on-one personalized nutritional counseling session with our families.

In addition to the changes with our pantry, we are also starting a new and revolutionary series of budgeting classes. For many families, it is hard to sit with a stranger and talk about debt, money, budgeting, and other personal matters. Instead of this, we have begun to plan Practical Budgeting. Practical Budgeting will be a series of classes based around real-life skills that help to lower bills and make a family more self-reliant. The classes are on cooking (with the help of a dietetics student at the University of Cincinnati), sewing, making homemade gifts, knitting, candy-making, and, of coarse, plain old budgeting. However, the lessons about budgeting and money will be incorporated into the more interesting skills classes.

While our organization is fairly large, the Campbell County Neighborhood Center consists of one paid worker and many volunteers. We have a very small budget that covers our operating expenses and rely on donations to have food and supplies for our families.

We are incredibly excited about the changes in our Center and are optimistic about all the good that they will do in our community. Right now, we are asking for small donations to get this work done.

Donations will be used in the following ways:

- To purchase a greater variety of food for the pantry, including vegetarian, diabetic, whole grain, and organic options.

- To purchase used sewing machines, crock pots, bread makers, and other small appliances for the Practical Budgeting class (ideally, we would raise enough to be able to send folks home with one small appliance per family).

- To purchase supplies such as sewing needles, thread, yarn, knitting needles, fabric, etc for the classes.

- To purchase small items as a “congratulations” for our families, such as movie tickets or tickets to the Newport Aquarium for a family where the parent has reached a substantial goal, such as receiving their GED or reaching one year of steady employment.

- To purchase household items such as laundry detergent, toilet paper, soap, deodorant, etc. These items are not donated very often but are in high demand from our families.

We are a tax-deductible organization and you can receive a receipt for tax purposes. To donate, all you need to do is visit our website (http://www.nkcac.org) . Go to the “donate now” button and make sure to put “Campbell County” in the “designation” line. If you would like to donate to one program in particular, make sure to include that in the designation line as well.

There is certainly no minimum to get involved and every little donation will help us to make these programs the best that they can possibly be.

If you have any ideas, suggestions, questions or comments feel free to email me at bandriacco@nkcac.org or give me a call at 859-431-4177.

The Sideshow is an annual event in cooperation with The Dayton Circus Creative Collective.

We are open to art of all forms. If you've never shown your artwork or performed publicly before, The Sideshow may be the perfect event for your debut! Static artists have the opportunity to show their work in creative instillations, and two stages will be made available to musical acts and performance artists. We encourage musical acts to include visual or interactive parts to their performance. If you have a vision to be realized in another way, please contact us, we may be able to accommodate you. We want you to help us create a show that Dayton will remember.

APPLICATION

Please include the following information:
1. Your Name/Your Group's Name
2. What does your creation look or sound like? How do you affect your audience? What do you want them to feel, think, and experience?
3. How much space will you need to share your art? If performing, how much time?

Please remember to include visuals and/or audio of your work. Artwork submitted by those chosen as contributing artists may be used in promotion of The Sideshow, The Dayton Circus Creative Collective, and especially YOU. All artists will be encouraged to make their work available for sale, and there is no commission fee for selling work at The Sideshow. If you choose to donate any of your proceeds, the contribution will be tax deductible.

If you are selected as a contributing artist, members of The Dayton Circus will gladly assist you in meeting obligatory periodic "milestones" including: preparing an artist's statement, contributions for promotional materials, attendance at planning meetings and installation of work. This is a cooperative community event, and all contributors will be required to volunteer one day (4-8 hours) of effort beyond the installation of their own work. You will soon find out how exhilarating, stimulating and rewarding is to work with such an energetic and creative group! We want this show to not only include your creation but your energy as well.

We would like to challenge you to avoid using paper, CDs or other resources unnecessarily. It is preferred that you submit your application letter via e-mail to thesideshow@DaytonCircus.org with 2-5 examples of your work attached. We prefer MP3's for Audio, YouTube for video, and JPG's for photos, though we can work with most digital formats. We may request more examples of your work before making our decision.

Tiffany Clark would love to help you put together your application. You can reach her at (937) 878-0006

For general inquiry contact:
Tiffany @937-878-0006 or jordynnevin@aol.com

I'm going to Burning Man are you?

Melissa — Tue, 13 May 2008 10:59:29 GMT

I am heading home to BRC again this year. I want to share my van with one other burner looking to arrive when gates open and be headed back after the temple burn. (for you virgins that's the burn that happens the night after the man burns.) I am an experienced burner and would be interested in helping out a virgin or taking the road home with an old timer. I smoke. I estimate the cost of gas to be 7-800 dollors round trip so I'd like to split that to about 400 in gas each. That estimate is leaving plenty of room for error. It may cost less. I'm going to be bringing a case of freeze dried food to last me the week and then supplement that with odds and ends. I have cube corners but need to get the tarps, ball bungees and pipes. It may be possible for us to share my cube to protect our tents from the sun and wind. I have a very small tent. For more details please reply to me directly.

Howdy folks! I'm bringing you news of ways to help out Scorched Nuts by camping with friends and tickets changes and updates.

SN Volunteer Work Weekend
May 31-June 1
Hannon's Camp America

As we quickly approach the second year for Scorched Nuts (http://scorchednuts.org) we wanted to let you know of a way to benefit the community, the event, and the camping venue. Burners from IN, KY, and OH will be gathering at Hannon's Camp America (the venue for Scorched Nuts) from May 31st to June 1. We'll be camping out (free tent camping, $10 bunk rental if that's your thing), painting signs, digging post holes, building bridges, and ladders into tree houses. This work is mutually beneficial to the community and Hannon's. Come help us foster more community growth and give back. And as always is the case when Burners gather to work, we'll have an amazingly good time.

)*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*(

SN Ticket Changes and Updates

Hey folks, we've been looking over our ticket sales deadlines and have decided to make a couple of quick, and beneficial to the procrastinator, revisions. First, the deadline for mail-in orders has been pushed back to May 31st for the postmarked date. If it's postmarked after that you're check or money order will be sent back in the mail and you'll have to purchase your ticket on-line or with a vendor. Secondly, tickets will be on sale on-line and will vendors until June 12th. After that time you can purchase your tickets at the gate. Also, you have until midnight tonight to purchase a ticket for the $30 price, after that until June 12th tickets will be $40. We've also lowered the gate price to $50. All deadlines, unless otherwise noted, are until 11:59pm of the date listed. Also please note that there has been a gate policy change, there will be NO in-and-out passes this year. Be prepared to come and stay. You will not be permitted to leave and come back once you exit the gates. Thank you.

To summerize:

Mail-in postmark Deadline: May 31st for $40 tickets
On-line/Vendor Deadline: June 12th for $40 tickets
$30 Ticket Deadline (on-line only): May 12th
$40 Ticket Deadline: June 12th
$50 Gate Ticket Sales: June 19th during gate hours - June 21st at 5pm
No leaving once you've arrived.

)*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*()*(

Thank you all for your help and your patience. We hope to see you out at Scorched Nuts, or any of the upcoming events, gatherings, work weekend, etc that we have going on through out the year.

As always, be safe, be happy, and have fun.

Amplified sound at scorched nuts

Kegas — Fri, 09 May 2008 18:26:59 GMT

Hey guys, anyone get their economic surplus package yet? I sure as hell did, and i blew that free cash on a small box that lets me spin my mp3's on vinyl. YAAAAY EBAY!

Anyway, I don't have speakers or an amp (you need an amp with speakers right? sorry new at this, thanks for playing along!).

Does anyone have either or both of those? I heard there wasn't any amplified music last year, and i'd love to be the guy that provides that faint yet ever-present backbeat to the entire event.

Also, i heard i needed to talk to everyman about this... yoo hoo, everyman?

InterFuse Effigy / Stage Performances

PoosieKat — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 21:30:56 GMT

Hey there excited InterFuse-lovin' people! As you know, this years effigy is a large TV-stage for performances. We have everything from an opening ceremony (Thurs at 6pm) to movies & documentaries to educational talks to poetry readings....and SO much more! The schedule is up on the website ( http://www.midwestburners.com/interfuse/eventsandperformers.html ) so check it out!

Even with all the scheduled programs there are still a few open slots just waiting for YOU, wonderful, beautiful participant, to....you guessed it....pARTicipate! Be it being a part of the poetry jam, talk show, fashion show, or creating your own programming.

For all you theme camps out there, perhaps a 'commercial' on the stage is JUST the thing for you. Just come to the stage, find the stage manager (Poosie Kat, JeffZ, Trish, and Laura) and there you go! Also, PSA's sound like a fun way to participate and share with the community at large. If you're a performer without a place to perform, this is your venue darlin', come out and share yourself with us! Fun for the performers and the viewers.

Be sure to come out to watch and/or add your talents to the list. There are still calls out for folks to participate in the Opening Ceremonies, Poetry Jam, Talk Show, Fashion Show, Bribe-per-View, and open time slots....so be sure to make your way over and join in the fun and excitement!

Stop by any of these times:

Thursday 6PM-Friday 5AM
Friday Noon-Saturday 6AM
Saturday Noon-4PM

The rest of the time the TV will be an open stage but without lights, sound, and video.

The schedule will also come in the form of a TV Guide with the Gate Handout at InterFuse.

ALSO, we desperately need night owl Stage Managers from 2AM-5AM Friday morning and 12:45AM-5AM Saturday morning! That's a 3 hour and a 4 hour 15 minute period! I KNOW there are two of you out there who can help out for 3-4 hours! These shifts are during Bribe-Per-View, so you'll be getting bribed to play movies. No live performance coordinating is needed! It will be very EASY and FUN!! Plus, Trish will give you bacon!

If you're interested, please contact Zay@midwestburners.com

(Pardon the X-post) Fund raiser for your local fire crew. Show your support in one of our sexy Ts

P0K3S — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:54:12 GMT

Yes, the fire crew now has a union badge/logo. It's posted on my profile, newest pic.

We're going to be selling T Shirts as a fund raiser for this season. They'll be black on fire engine red. The logo on the front left breast and large, bold, block caps on the back, centered on two lines: SUPPORT CREW.

Sadly, for all my trying this week I can't seem to get the shirts made to bring out to the workshop weekend. But, I'm at least going to see if I can't get the logo printed on a bright red background so everyone can see what they'll look like and I'll post pictures as soon as I get some made. If anyone has someone in screen printing who owes them their first born or something...let me know ASAP.

We're going to ask $20 because it is a fund raiser and we're doing them in a small batch, which is pricier. Even at that I won't get back part of my investment in getting them made, but that's fine.

S, M, L, XL, XXL...whatever.

Volunteer Weekend to Benefit Scorched Nuts!

Angie — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 16:52:21 GMT

Who:
This is an organized work weekend that is open to Burners and the general public. The more the merrier! Tent camping is free if you register to help out with one of the work projects we will be completing that weekend. There will projects available for all work types, so don't worry if you can't do any heavy work and need to take it easy. Bring a tent, a friend and some party supplies for the evening! RV's and bunk rentals will be $10 each.

What:
These projects were chosen by the Hannon's and agreed upon by some of the SN organizers. They are things that will benefit their campgrounds, as well as our event. In exchange for our work, they are reducing our rental cost by $500, and as they say in the carpet business we are passing the savings on to you! ;) We will divide our workforce into 4 separate teams with specific tasks to work on for the weekend. The main work will be done on Saturday, party and bonfire Saturday evening and then some finish up and clean up on Sunday. Any time or effort you can contribute would be greatly appreciated at this community building effort. If applicable we will provide or sign community service/ volunteer hour forms so spread the word to anyone who needs such hours for credits or work. All materials will be provided, however if you have tools or materials to bring or donate to the cause it would be wonderful! The teams/ projects as of now are:
1. Campsite markers- 5+ people
- finalize construction of simple campsite markers
- use motorized post hole digger and install markers according to the camp map
2. Sign painting in barn- 5+ people
- letter precut directional signs (steady hand and clear handwriting a must!)
- varnish posts and signs
- paint larger signage to be hung at entrances and throughout campgrounds
3. Building Maintainence- 5+ people
- clean/ sweep out main buildings (barn/ bathrooms/ cabins)
- install toilet paper and paper towel dispensers
- various other low key maintenance work (possible painting)
4. Island cleanup- 10+ people
- remove chicken wire, nails and garbage from trails and structures
- clear and define paths
Each team will have a Foreman to help with direction and completion of the projects.

When:
April 12-13, 2007. Organized volunteer work will begin at 10ish Saturday morning. We will have a lunch around 2ish and try to finish up around 6ish. There will be a bonfire after dark, and as the motto goes, Work Hard, Party Harder!!!

Where:
Hannon's Camp America, 8501 Camden College- Corner Rd, College Corner, Ohio 45003. To reserve a bunk contact jeanne@hannonscampamerica.com. To register as a volunteer please contact participate@scorchednuts.com with the headline "Volunteer Weekend".

This will be a fun and rewarding weekend that will bring you closer to our community, and the amazing people who are working like crazy to make Scorched Nuts the event of the year!!!!!

Need money for your Scorched Nuts plans?

Angie — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:25:56 GMT

Well you are in luck! This year, through generous donations, Scorched Nuts is offering Art Grants! If you have an art project, performance piece, theme camp or workshop that you want to share with our community, but are lacking some funds, you can get help! Go to the webpage, www.scorchednuts.org, and look through the simple application process! These are relatively small grants, but they may make the difference and help complete your project. We also have non monitary help available, through rideshares, technical advice, and set up assistance. If you have any questions, contact Ol'Bill at artgrants@scorchednuts.com or myself at participate@scorchednuts.com.

Alex Grey - COSM the movie showing at the Carnegie in Covington!

Rekmel1 — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:33:22 GMT

I'm going to get to do a little drumming before the showing. Should be fun! I have this movie on DVD, but I'm looking forward to seeing it in the theatre and also seeing some new friends down there. It would be a fun place to meet up at. Come on out if you can!

Alex Grey ~ COSM

COSM: THE MOVIE (Chapels of Sacred Mirrors) is an invitation to personal reflection, growth, and harmony, leading spiritual adventurers on an enriching and sense-heightening journey into the visionary art cosmos of world-renowned painter, sculptor, and author Alex Grey. Grey is our guide on a cinematic pilgrimage through the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors gallery in New York City, where the artworks combine science and spiritual wisdom. Reflecting the human experience from birth to death and beyond, the vividly rendered depictions of human anatomy and transcendental imagery suggests the unity of all things. COSM: THE MOVIE reverently illuminates possibilities of enlightenment and the evolution of conscience and consciousness.

Resonate 3.0 - March 22th

PoosieKat — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 21:40:55 GMT

Looks like our friends and neighbors in Chicago are at it again. Resonate 3.0 - March 22nd.

They have almost double the space as last year!

Also at this time they're sending out a call for people interested in helping out with this all volunteer burning community event. WOOT!!! So not only can you mark your calendars for a kick ass party where you'll meet a ton of fantastic fun people, but you can be one of the rockstars that help put it together. How cool is that!

Resonate was invented to bring all the tribes in the midwest together under one roof! And if the past two years are indication, I'd say that they've DONE it.

All the money (every penny) made at Resonate goes straight back to the community into a fund that supports other activities like, Decomp, Town Hall meetings, BRAF, Art grants, etc... and theirr full $ budget is completely transparent, and is sent out in detail to their announce list!
: ) (To sign up for their announce list send a blank e-mail to: chicago-announce-subscribe@burningman.com )

A call out to artists, performers, and volunteers will be made shortly.

Workshop Weekend

PoosieKat — Thu, 03 Apr 2008 16:38:55 GMT

When: April 18-20
What: Costumery
How Much: $7 pre-pay for meal-plan *

* go to paypal to send your $7 to Rebecca, the Kitchen Queen, at rhellemans2@gmail.com Put "food" in the message so she knows where the money goes. If you don't have paypal then pm me. If you don't want the meal plan, then you'll need to bring enough food for yourself for the whole weekend. Only those that pre-pay for the meal-plan can partake of the delicious food that Rebecca prepares....it's worth MORE than the $7....especially for a weekends worth of food. Rebecca will post a meal list for you all to look over and "Yay" and "Nay" here soon.

Bring all your costume ideas. Bring those bits that you've been saving, but have yet to find a use for. Bring your sewing machine if you have one. Bring your yard and needles. Bring your questions and your knowledge. Bring those items that are just too plain-jane for your burner outfits. This time we're ALL the teachers and we're ALL the students....well...actually that's the normal bit....but still. We're going to be helping one another out, bouncing ideas off one another, learning little tips, hints, and tricks from those that do what they do best. Later there can/will be more in depth workshops on much of what'll be covered this weekend.

Also going on.....Beth, Kyle, and Graham's annual 4/20 party will also be taking place here during the Workshop Weekend. So make sure to bring along some snacky foods if you're a muncher.

What to bring:
Bedding/sleeping gear
Costume ideas
Costume pieces
Snacks (not meal food)
Fabric (if that's your thing)
A glass/cup to call your own

Need design/Sketchup help, PLEASE!

P0K3S — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 20:21:24 GMT

Hey all,

The effigy has been moving forward in leaps and bounds. Today I scored MORE free materials for construction, lowering the cost again considerably as well as making the design better in the process. Yay!

But, I AM struggling with a portion of the design and need help.

If there is anyone out there in Burnerland who is good with 3D modeling or drafting or knows someone who is, especially if they're familiar with Google Sketchup, I could really use some help!

Message me here on tribe and I can get you contact info.

Thank you!

Wickerman Burning -South central PA

Patrick — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 00:38:39 GMT

Hi!
I wanted to let everyone know about a new burn, and I am part of the planning team for it, so my opinion is biased!

The burn is "Wicker Man," to be held Thursday through Monday, Memorial Day weekend; and we have a setup weekend, the weekend before. We are trying to lay the groundwork that will grow into a full-on burn, with an amazing site, roads for art cars, a $4,000 art grant budget and plans for a stupendous effigy.

We will be using Four Quarters as our site, which has the rep as one of the most edgy and progressive non-profit camps on the east coast. They have given us their full support for Wicker Man. Four Quarters has a piped water system, hot showers, flush toilets and of course port-a-potties. Buried power lines for their bio-fueled camp generator, a covered stage and three swimming holes. Lots of camping under tall trees and out in the sun too. And 2 miles of gravelled roads. Four Quarters is located 100 miles west of DC and Baltimore, just off I-68.

We want to develop a burn that is art focused and will support big art. And one that has a vision of the future of burns that is sustainable, ecologically responsible and leaves behind a small foot print. Thus "Wicker Man;" the old celebration of the Green Man and Green energy. We already have over 20 theme camps and art projects registered, and we are just beginning our announcements. We plan to have three "Theme Towns." "Sound Town," where we can run sound all night long, like the Gaian MInd psytrance festival held at Four Quarters. "Sin City" down along the river, a cure for what ever ails you. And "Center Circle," a place for nature and spirit; held inside the amazing stone circle at Four Quarters. (Yes, there is a circle of standing stones and they are BIG!)

And then there is the Man. Planned at 35 feet high our man stands on a round Temple to the Spirit of Fire, a big enough room that you can enter and place your own art and offerings to the burn. The roof of the temple is a deck upon which stands the Man, and people can stand too.. His belly is the Upper Temple, with room for just one person at a time. Each of his arms will hold a flaming fire pot, and we hope, will move as he burns. This is a huge project and we are looking to get as many people involved in his construction as possible. Ground breaking for the Man is Friday, May 9th, and then the next two weekends until he burns.

I could go on and on, but our web site is up, with the first design drawings for the Man, pictures of art grant projects and theme camps. We have a list serve / forum too. So visit the web site at wickermanburning.org for much more info.

"Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust,
Wicker Man Burning, In Fire We Trust."

X-Post Facto:All hands on deck for construction of the SN08 community effigy!

P0K3S — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 16:43:15 GMT

STATUS:

There was an unveiling of sorts at the SN organizers meeting this passed weekend. I unveiled the design of the community effigy. While it's still partially in the conceptual drawing stage, the construction documents are actually already 2/5 of the way done and will be completed by or before March 31st.

I have had a great deal of concept and design help from: Yawfren, Will, Mac, Maegdlyn, Tim, Chris, Captain Oh My Captain and others. Chris has been putting together conceptual drawings and the most recent ones will be posted VERY soon and will post the construction drawings the second they are done..

Tim Black has graciously donated space in his garage for the construction, to begin at the workshop weekend April 18-20. We will need the hands of anyone interested in helping.

ohio.tribe.net/event/Work...18b8ab23c69

THE DESIGN:

Basically, without further ado...the effigy is to be a 10' tall modified GONZO fist.

images.google.com/images

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzo_journalism

Clearly, the dagger and logo are being omitted, and the peyote button also (for aesthetic reasons only).

We've added an eye on the back of the hand.

THE CONSTRUCTION:

The skeleton or wire frame will be constructed primarily out of 1x1 and 1.5x1wood, generously (to be) scavenged by Charlie, and some 1/2" plywood.

It will then be wrapped and skinned in natural cloth scraps generously provided by Maegdlyn from her seamstressing business.

HELP!:

Captain Oh My Captain has graciously signed on to help where he can that weekend and lend his expertise in fabrication, and of course I will be working on it most of the weekend.

* We'll need as many hands as we can get helping with the building of the skeleton and especially with the process of wrapping and skinning.

* If there is someone (or a few someones) who'd like to design and construct the eye, they are more than welcome to.

* I am also still taking input on portions of the construction and may need logistical help hauling the cloth, wood, etc out to Synctuarie.

The idea is for the entire community to be a part of the construction in one way or another. This is YOUR effigy I hope some or all of ya'll are as excited about it as I am.

Wireframe Diagrams

P0K3S — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 12:56:44 GMT

Hey all,

I need to make a wire frame diagram of a 3D object (the effigy for SN).

Can anyone suggest a simple, widely available application or better yet web applet that I can use?

How hard are programs like AutoCAD for someone who's never used them?

Thanks for any and all help,

Burnerific Clothes for Sale/Trade

cikret — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 23:37:51 GMT

I've been cleaning out my closets and I have a bunch of clothing I want and need to get rid of. Ebay is a pain in the arse, and most of the stuff I have is too weird to consign and too cool to give to goodwill. A lot of it is either good burner wear or vintage.

So I thought I'd put some of it up online for sale or trade. Prices are very, very negotiable, and I'll donate 25% of what I make to Scorched Nuts, either to the Poke's Smokin' Knob fund or the event at large or both.

If you're interested in something shoot me an email at modcomplex@gmail.com. Grazie.

InterFuse 2008 Info

PoosieKat — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 00:31:04 GMT

Full Info at http://www.midwestburners.com/interfuse .

The theme this year is Technophilia/Technophobia ! Below is a message from the Kansas Regional Contact Zay regarding the theme. I have big plans and would love to colloborate on some art too or at least help with making art. Regionals are a great place to test out playa ideas and Interfuse is my start to the summer fun season. Both of these equal a big WIN! If you have not been to Interfuse, it is amazing and not far from Iowa. I expect it to sell out this year so buy tickets when they go up early next year. I will send a message out.

Here is a bit about the theme:

Forwarded from post by: "Zay Thompson"
Thu Oct 25, 2007 10:10 am (PST)

Thanks for the great brainstorming and discussion of InterFuse theme ideas! The InterFuse 2008 Art Theme is now set and is described below.
--Zay, Midwest Burners

Technophilia/Technophobia
Technology: Do we love it or hate it? Does it isolate us or bring us together? Does it make our lives easier or does it add layers of complications? Do we own our tools or do they own us? Can we live without our technology? Can it live without us? We shape the world through our technology but to what extent does our technology shape our world views?

This theme is a study of modern life that is very relevant to us as burners. Modern technology is both a consumer product and a means to promote consumption. Yet it can also be used to create art and to connect us. Technology extremely enhances our creative abilities yet also enhances our destructive abilities. As we know from our experience with the fire arts, destructive technology can also result in positive beautiful things.

Burners are especially suited for examining our relationships with technology. We are some of the most technologically savvy people out there. We've used the tools of the internet to connect with each other and build a community like no other. We are intimately familiar with creating new uses for technology and subverting it to our own fun purposes.

At InterFuse 2008, we will mock, celebrate, exaggerate, demonstrate, and use technology to create. Bring your fearful or hopeful vision of our technological present and future. All robots, cyborgs, couch potatoes, slaves to the machines, Luddites, interactive tutorials, genetically enhanced humans, virtual selves, icons, nuts & bolts, flotsam & jetsam etc. are welcome! You can take this theme in any direction! Unveil a new and enhanced IF08 Theme version 2.0. Come set up your office cubicle camp, post-apocalyptic scenario, personal billboard, or cyber-utopia. Form a techno cult or create a reality TV game that has gone horribly awry. Show off your inventions, bio-fueled art car, or invite people to add to your open source installations. Create recycled trash art, build a DNA sculpture, or assemble something else so engaging that people find themselves sitting around it for 36 hours straight sipping energy drinks.

At the center of this technological cacophony will sit that most loved and most hated icon of modern technology, that mighty conduit of modern culture, that unmatched propaganda and marketing tool—THE TELEVISION! The TV will be large enough to serve as an open performance stage and projection screen. We will be filling our giant television with our own content. All participants are invited to create Premier Entertainment Programming and clever personal advertising to display on our TV. There must be NO dead air time!!

Our modern society churns out tons of STUFF! So, around the giant television will be piles of personal technology sculptures created by YOU. Bring an effigy of whatever technology you fantasize about burning. Does your cell phone drive you crazy? Build a larger than life cell phone with non-toxic materials like wood, cardboard, paper, cloth. NO BURNING ACTUAL PLASTIC TECH DEVICES! You could give your effigy evil teeth or put something in the screen to express it's annoying qualities. Put your art on the pile around the TV and watch it all BURN on Saturday night when we use our favorite medium, fire, to transform technology and reclaim it as an authentic tool of our imaginations.

Welcome to the Machine!

Johnny Payphone — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 14:19:39 GMT

I'm glad I finally tracked you guys down. When I was in Chicago in 07 everybody was all "Scorched Nuts!" and I was all "What? Where?" and they showed me the location on Google Maps and it was my hometown! I work for DPW but I came from lowly Oxford. I went to high school with the wee Hannon boy! I went to summer camp at the site!

That year there I had a gig that I couldn't miss but this year I'll be there. I just went to the regional Burn in New Zealand cuz I'm working the Australia festivals this winter.

Better hold this regional before the Cali medicinal-weed harvest ends or else I'll be outtie to down unda again!

Wolf Run Wildlife refuge --Storm Damage-- Needs help

Rebecca — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 17:50:24 GMT

Hi guys... this is really a cross post from the Kentucky Burners Tribe http://tribes.tribe.net/kentuckyburnersfr/thread/454035bf-e0b8-4ee2-b7a6-0f6fc7e62eb9 ... but Karine is trying to organize a work day for Sunday, March the 2nd.

The damage from the past tornados did severe damage to the Kennels and cages. Many are still without roofs and are in bad shape. This refuge houses large cats ( liones, coougars, wildcatsm & cougers) along with deer, several varities of wolves, horses, and other animals. Any assistance provided to this refuge would be terrific. You can either go to the thread linked above or contact Karine via PM on tribe.

Thanks and hope to see you there.

Websites and Tickets

Angie — Sat, 16 Feb 2008 00:27:35 GMT

Hey everyone! I want to do a little clarifying before this snowballs. www.scorchednuts.com is the place to buy your tickets. All sales made are being processed and you will receive your ticket. The funds from ticket sales are what will pay for our land rental, event insurance and promotional materials. I highly recommend you encourage everyone to get on the .com and purchase their ticket at the $30 level. If 150 tickets are sold at this price then our basic needs are meet and the show will go on. Once it is fully functional www.scorchednuts.org will be another promotional tool, and our primary location for participants to make donations to fund integral projects such as the amazing effigy Pokes and his team are designing, the interactive Sculpture Walk that myself and many others are contributing to, to apply for or donate to the Art Grant process to fund new projects and to help us purchase all the little necessities it takes to make an incredible event like this happen. Unless there is a vast change, please spread the word that ticket sales are active through the .com and we will bring you more info on the .org as it develops! Thank you!!!

SN '08 Rangers need YOU!

PoosieKat — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 22:55:30 GMT

Still not figured out how you'll be participating for Scorched Nuts 2008? Do you want to see and be seen? Do you have a patience, good walking shoes, patience, good communication skills, sense of humor, and more patience? Do you just have a way about you that seems to simmer people down? Do you want to be an integral part of SN '08 going off without a hitch?

If you answered yes to the above, then being a Ranger just might be the opportunity that you were looking for!

The Rangers are a cross-section of the community who volunteer some of their time in the role of non-confrontational community mediators. Responding to the ever-changing environment, we address within our community situations that would otherwise require outside intervention. By encouraging and facilitating communication, the Rangers promote awareness of potential hazards, from sunstroke to tent fires. We are emphatically not the police or a paramilitary organization. Rangers are the mediators of public safety and providers of information.

The shifts are flexible, reasonable, and pretty damned fun. You'll be required to have a walkie talkie (and use it properly), walk around the grounds, stopping into camps to chat, spread info (such as: If it didn't come from your body, don't put it in the potty....that you're a Ranger and what you do.....that sort of thing), and be ready to deal with any situations that may arise. Last year Scorched Nuts was pretty quiet, and probably will be again this year.

To volunteer or learn more, e-mail me, Poosie Kat at: rangers@scorchednuts.com

THANKS!!!

cross post: Open Call for Katet Camp

Angie — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 02:36:43 GMT

So the theme camp Chris and I host at Scorched Nuts is Katet Camp. It is generally our closest friends, but is open to anyone willing to work hard and party harder! Our camp features the Experience Dome, which this year will be a blank canvas for you to work with. We will be doing a costume exchange/ boutique at least once, and our camp will host karaoke in the Center Camp barn on the evening of Adam's choosing. But besides some planned projections of Chris's making, we are really open to contributions this year! We will have the same wonderful campsite as last year, at the crossroads near the barn and playground. We will have a community kitchen set up with grill, stove, sink and utilities, but it will be more relaxed about meals. Basically you either fend for yourself, or make a big meal and let everyone know its ready. We may have a sign up to schedule the meal of your choosing, or it may be worked out there when you feel like cooking. I have some discount tickets available for those who need them, but I need to know soon because there are only 5 and they will go fast! Please let me know soon if you plan on being a part of the coolest kids at Scorched Nuts!!!!!!

Workshop Weekend Thank You's

Rebecca — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 09:18:15 GMT

Yet another fantastic workshop weekend has come and gone... each time I wonder if they could ever get any better... and as always this one has topped all previous ones!

Thank you to Poosie, Graham, Tim, and Indigo for your organization, efforts and for providing a beautiful and safe place. Poosie and Graham, thanks for always taking care of me and letting me get my burn on.

Thank you Pokes, Will, Lauren, and Mac for the hottest and most beautiful dome fire! My sides are continue to be sore from laughing so much by the fire side.

Thanks to Grimm for letting me play with your fans, tolerating my millions questions, providing fule and for allowing us to tease you relentlessly. I will continue to follow up with you on teaching those workshops we discussed. Please send me your shopping list so we can get that on the agenda for future workshops.

Thanks to Charlie, Magdalynn, Chris and Indigo for helping so much in the kitchen. It would have been impossible to get chopped, cleaned and ready for rounds 2 and 3 without your assistance. Chris... thanks for creating the kitchen shuffle! It will be an exciting and new tradition for many workshops to come.

Kristal... thanks for teaching me to make chocolate covered rodants. Really... they simply are the best.

Finally thanks again everyone in this burner family....words fail me when attempting to express my gradtitude and joy in finding you all.

Roomie Needed March 1st!

Grimm — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 21:25:51 GMT

Hello all, most of you may have heard the mention, but some may have not, and what better place to look?

That's right kiddies, the house of Grimm has a vacancy! I need a roomie by march 1st! Right now I have myself and Joe, a mild mannered homey who wishes to keep the basement, so you would get the upstairs room across from me. The rent is 284/mo. The bills are never more than a hundred a person, so for about 350 (everything included) you get all this!
Your own room (duh!)
A massive secluded deck, and I mean massive!
Hardwood floors!
A yard! Really! And a fire pit in the back!
A skylighted kitchen!
House is on a cul de sac, with only one other house across the street, one house 60 yards and 2 treelines away to the left, and nothing behind or to the right of us but wooded area!
2 of the coolest roomies around!
High speed internet and free basic cable!
Right off of the Beechmont exit!

My criteria is wordy, but simple...
Partier but responsible.
Clean but not anal.
Easy going, but outspoken.
Drink and smoke a plus : )
Trustworthy and mostly DRAMA FREE (that means the company you keep as well)
Fun loving and doesn't mind the occasional party (or 2am after party).

Let me clarify that last one by saying this is NOT a "party house", and we respect each others privacy and schedules, but we do party nonetheless!
So if this sounds like you, hit me back soon either here or call me directly. Booyah.

new crew opportunity

Tim — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 01:57:33 GMT

It looks like I'll need 6 to 8 people to add to the L3K crew this year at burningman. Here is the deal:

You get a free ticket to Burningman, and you get in early. (as early as Sat morning before opening)

You promise to help install and remove the ring around the man.
(3 to 4 hours on Sunday before the event opens, and a few hours on Sunday after the burn)
You may need to help out with repairs and maintenance during the week as needed. (maybe another few hours)

*** extra bonus goodness from everyone for building part of the center of the event ***

As far as volunteer opportunities go at burningman, this is pretty light work. I just need some people that I can depend on to be there when needed and to follow instructions. Nothing complex.

I'll need some help around here to get some parts of the ring ready for the trip, so extra effort locally could earn a free ride roundtrip to one or two people.

contact me directly if you are interested.
