c/o BRCPO
Burning Man
Black Rock City, NV 89412
Summary:
Dr. Carl's big board of stuff is imposing, daunting and a little bit sexy. Pick something from our big board, go out and find that something. Return to us, convince an official that you deserve a fantastic reward...collect a fantastic reward.
Physical Description:
The largest physical structure of our camp, after Vaughn, will be our 2 big boards of things to find. We estimate the board to be 15' high, 16' long and 8-10' deep. One board will contain all of the items/people we hope the community will find and bring back to us. To mesh with the theme each board will be contain artwork. As items are found they are moved from one board to the other thus revealing one piece of art while concealing another. Our camp will also include a 20' diameter dome+shade shelter, multiple camping tents, ?? RV's, a large truck, ?? cars, 2 showers/grey water evaporation pools and a burn barrel. Our small, discreet generator -are we bringing one?- will live amongst the parked cars to dampen the sound. We will run the generator only intermittently when needed.
Interactivity Description:
Dr. Carl's big board will be split into two large boards. On one board will be multiple items for the community to procure. These items will range from the small and mundane to the large and art carish. Our goal is to send people off to interact with the city around them and then return to us for a fantastic reward and a small celebration for completing the task. Be it a stamp from the BRCPO or a person dressed like an elephant we are sure the variety of people and things to find will provide entertainment and community wide interaction for all involved. Once an item is found the participant must return to us with said item and we will bestow upon them a semi-fantastic reward for completing the task! Our live-in neighbors (Trashistan) will provide their trademark heckling whilst assisting us in keeping the board active, fun and maybe a little bit interesting.
Our hope is to involve as many different people and inspire their interaction with as many different people as possible. Our new lighting scheme will ensure we can maintain 24hr interactivity. We look forward to not only encourage interaction with our camp and neighborhood but amongst the entire BRC community.
Clean Up:
Cleanup will entail the breaking down of camp and dividing our area into a grid. This grid will make it easy for all campers involved to scour for any moop. We will also have daily scans of our camp and surrounding area to make sure nothing is out of place. Our burn barrel will sit upon cynder blocks to prevent playa scarring. All grey water will be evaporated from our 10'x 15' evaporation pools with new and improved chicken wire evaporation system.", 'In an effort to leave the playa as we found it we will take the following steps to ensure minimal impact:',
- Clean up day will be Monday
- All wooden tiles on the big board will be screwed to the board securely to prevent achievement of wind motivated flight
- Many heavy duty garbage bags, and cans, to haul trash out in our truck
- Altoid tins for cigarette butts
- Rebar for staking everything down
- Sledge, vice grips, crow bar and work gloves for removing rebar
- All food will be stripped of packaging before arrival
- Excess wood will be burned
- All ashes from the burn barrel will be sealed in big rubbermaid containers for clean hauling
As we are including Trashistan in our plans we will yell at them as often as needed to keep them in line. In the event they do something ridiculous like leave stuff behind we'll scoop it up and dispose of it properly. Our combined presence is firmly LNT.
