BurningHamster Brainstorm I
April/08/2007 Filed in: visions
A local Burner group has begun loose planning for an encampment/art
project/installation/community event on playa in 2007. Stay
tuned...
"I'm quite serious about
doing something new with people from right
here in Bellingham. I kind of have a basic image in my head of what
it might look like, but really it's totally up for group input.
Here's what I'd like:
An enclosed and very intimate little interactive theme camp, largely
based around dancing, though open to include any other good ideas
too, operated by a drama-free easy-going small crew (maybe 10-15
people?).
What I've got to contribute:
I've got a 15,000 watt soundsystem that would sound outstanding at a
moderate volume in a small space.
8 inteligent Martin DMX lights and countless rope lights, black
lights, etc.
3 10'x20' carports (Costco barns)
1 22' geodesic dome with parachute cover
10' diameter fully enclosed DJ booth 14' tall (used by Lemuria &
Seacompression)
A commecrial serger (mega sewing machine) that could be useful for
making a cover for a structure).
I think my dome would be too small for the dance area (definately if
we use the DJ booth). Just a little bigger would be great--like
30'. I also have an image in my head of a pyramid of some sort. I'd
be up for building something with a couple of people if there are
such motivated individuals.
Basic camp stuff that we'd need to come up with:
Kitchen stuff:
I've got the shade structures that would be great for cooking,
eating, and camp-member chillin'. I think a communal stove/grill/bbq
would be nice and I'm a big fan of a meal plan (everyone cooks just a
couple of times, then the rest of the week your meals are made for
you).
Generator(s) I've been wanting to buy one for a while, we'll see. I
may have a connection or two in this department. Renting may be an
option.
Communal shade for camping. Not entirely required, but the last
couple of years my whole camp camped under a 200' parachute, which is
very nice. If we can't come up with something similiar, we could
each fend for ourselves and put a small shade structure over each
tent.
A rental truck to get it all there.
I'm used to paying $100-$150 in camp fees to take care of these kinds
of needs. I imagine a similiar contribution from each member might
do the trick--though if that's too much for some I'm sure we could
get flexible and creative.
There area few people interested in the Boogie Crew, though everyone
seems to be waiting to committ until others committ. Any interest
here on this list?
