Hi. A tip of my hat to Ranger Parttime for the reference to my structure. It is not a dome by any means. It's a... well, it's... a tensile structure, supported by a centerpole, which does indeed have a winch hoist system. Kind of like a pleated teepee with no teepee poles. When erected, it's about 1...

We should all be proficient at this:

Hey, Harpman... and all you other bluesey folks: Shadebearers Temporate Zone will be on the Esplanade, somewhere between 8:15 and 8:45. C'mon by, I'll have some cold ones for ya (drinks, dude, the women are HOT). White origami not-teepee, 20 ft. high, 40 ft. across. Lots of blue and white umbrellas.

Shadebearers Temporate Zone, on the Esplanade somewhere between 8:15 and 8:30. Look for a large white origami-like pavilion, sort of like a teepee with A-frame entrances all around; it's 20 feet high and 40 feet across, carpeted throughout. At night it will be colorfully lit with effects lighting in...

Shadebearers Temporate Zone, located on the Esplanade somewhere between 8:15 and 8:45, will be hosting unscheduled spontaneous live blues jams. Blues drummer with trap set needed. Also have a 3" pole for volunteer exotic dancers; ladies only, thank you. You will be protected by our hands-off policy,...

Can you play contemporary blues with a swing feel? You got a home for your drums at Shadebearers Temporate Zone. I'll have a couple guitar amps, a bass amp, instruments to have unscheduled spontaneous blues jams, and I'd like to experiment with a blues/trance format. It's a comfortably carpeted and ...

Shadebearers Temporate Zone will be on the Esplanade somewhere between 8:15 and 8:45. Look for a large white origami-like pavilion. After dark it'll be multicolored, filled with effects lighting, lasers, and nice tunes to chill or dance to. The floor is carpeted, there are fluffy chairs and velvet c...

Hey, Harpman If I can bring all the abovementioned shit, why can't you bring your amp? Most harp amps I'm used to seeing are relatively small rigs... and then you got the guys who insist on a Bassman... but a Blues Jr. works well, or a tiny little old Silvertone... you don't know how many times afte...

Shadebearers Temporate Zone will have amps onhand, a couple cheap guitars and bass, PA with mics. Need a drummer or ten to bring drums. Location still a secret, but look for a floating origami-like pavilion tent, white in the daylight, all colors and patterns at night, with some emanation of green l...

Our camp is suddenly short a few folks who can't make it to this year's event. Want to share in a shining example of what Burning Man is all about, and help to provide a valuable public service? Welcome to the Shadebearers and the Temporate Zone. We have thirty 5-ft. umbrellas for volunteers to carr...

Shadebearers Temporate Zone has room for a couple good campmates, especially vets like you. You would simply be expected to contribute to camp responsibilities, i.e., your share of cooking, dishwashing, MOOP patrol, etc. I would expect also that you volunteer as a Shadebearer a few days for a few ho...

TITWI: :D Exactly what I've been trying to accomplish here. Things happen when like-minded folks gather. I'll keep you posted as placement happens, I'm looking to be around 9:30 and C... with the Temporate Zone, and will most certainly come by the Booby Bar to look you up. Bring a lightweight 6-foot...

Mutant vehicles are a very large part of the art of Burning Man. No doubt about it. Wouldn't be the same without them. So are body lights and crazily lit bicycles. Light is the key to the nighttime playa experience. Stargaze at Yosemite or someplace quiet. However, I have a rather large beef with on...

Not worth a reply, but...
You've been to the playa. You know what an artcar is. When you get too old to be trusted behind the wheel of an artcar, what are you left with?
...mindless banter.... is it RFS (restless fingers syndrome)?

First: playa dust and electronic equipment are adversaries. Never forget that. Along with all your other supplies that you have to clean upon return to the default world, do you want to disassemble your gear to blow, suck, and scrape playa dust out of it? Is your PA disposable? How about that Marsha...

[quote="oneeyeddick"]Does this mean that my carport is gonna provide less shade than in previous years ? Seriously, there isn't enough shade to go around out there..........[/quote] Hmm, good question... did it shrink? Or will the sun be larger this year, inversely affecting your carport's performan...

Oh, the ART!!! :shock: It's all over the playa, and so is the SUN!!! Why suffer the brainbake? And why let others expose themselves to nasty UV rays and risk losing precious bodily fluids in a futile cooling process? :oops: We are a group of community-minded burners who provide shade to artwalkers v...

Burning Man is driven by participants, not spectators. The Caterpillar project, a large soundbarge/mutant vehicle, and the Temporate Zone, base camp for a new playa faction, The Shadebearers, are in need of proactive volunteers to act as bartenders, entertainers, group discussion leaders, and just f...

The Shadebearers will be based at the Temporate Zone, a theme camp incorporating a large internally lit white octagonal pyramidal pavilion with 8 A-frame entrances, one of which will be accessed through "Rainbow Realities," an interactive light sculpture that will serve as a hall of reflected light,...

Gorilla Tape does the trick. I tried some on a brand new tarp, and when I tried to peel it off, it took part of the plastic from the tarp surface with it. I've decided on polypropylene strapping (plastic shipping strapping) for the tension lines, taped to both sides of the tarp. It's rated at 500 lb...

A Concise History of Burning Earth circa 1870-80: In the U.S.A., Indians are placed on a reservation surrounding Pyramid Lake, in northern Nevada. They are a people rejected by the new invader society. circa 1920-30: U.S. Bureau of Land Management established, assumes custodianship of much uninhabit...

In no way do I suggest that any of these ideas become established rules, but I do suggest that the ideas expressed here and above come into the consideration of all sound operators. Isotopia, these are just ideas I'm tossing out for digestion. I'm sorry if they come across as "you people should," a...

As an addendum to the ideas I expressed above, if sound level zones are established, they should be somewhat flexible according to what time of day or night it is. Loud zones might lower their volume to an acceptable decible level after, say 1 or 2am. Ambient zones could cut their volume in half, an...

I agree with the title of this thread: 300 watts is bullshit. As a professional musician since 1965, I've had many different sound systems, and the sound level of a system is not directly dependent on the power the amplifiers produce. I've had 30-watt guitar amps that were louder than 100-watt amps....

Here's the major plan for '06: The Temporate Zone - A tensile structure in the shape of an octagonal faceted teepee/A-frame. It will be 38' across, about 20' tall at the center peak, with eight 7' tall access portals. It will be white, in order to transfer some cool inner lighting effects to the out...

HI THERE, Ranger Genius! The conversation I had with you and Ranger Borderline got me to really thinking about volunteering as a Ranger, but with the two major projects I want to take on this year (The Shadebearers, and a Chill Camp/Sound Installation, I doubt I'll be able to commit to the time requ...

I've always respected and appreciated the work of the Lamplighters, ceremoniously illuminating our ways at night in BRC. This burn found me experimenting with another service that I would consider to be of equal value. We all know that the sun can get pretty brutal while on daytime walkabouts and ar...

Carmit, I had a leather shop in the early seventies, made some belts, sandals, handbags, hats, and trinkets. That was the bread & butter line. My specialty was one-off custom garments using innovative seam construction that included riveting, decorative functional lacing, and even weaving the seams ...
