What I need to transport are some poles that are 10' long, an 8' ladder, a generator, a small Tiki bar (which comes apart), and some miscellaneous supplies. The entire load would take up a space that is about 10.5 feet long, 2.5 feet wide, and about 2.5 feet high, with the exception of a the main pl...

Sadie, Here's a page from our camp's web site that might give you some perspective as a newbie. Of course, this is only MY thoughts on the subject. http://www.pleasuresofthefleshuniversity.com/new-to-burning-man.html Some cool camps still have openings. Just make sure that when you contact one of th...

LOL! Perfect! Thanks, you guys. Now I have the equipment AND the dance tunes ... ooontz ... ooontz

Yay! Robot Heart is amaaaaaaazing! Wish I had a little Robot Heart in my camp. :-)

@Scott916 - Just saw your post. Have to be more careful when I read these threads with my Crackberry. Go ahead and shoot us a note and tell us how you'd like to help!

@talito - Yep. I just tried it and it's OK. The URL is: http://www.pleasuresofthefleshuniversity.com/

Is that the URL you used earlier?

Wow! What a great fit for the Metropolis theme! Ten stories? I HAVE to see this. Must be badass.

Hey, Neighbor! I just checked out your badass set of events! Can't believe you guys have a Ninjas vs Pirates party!!! I know non-Burners who would almost come to Burning Man just for that. LOL!

Looking forward to joining you for some fun out there. Great line-up!

Maybe this is my dorky side coming out, but I like the idea of a playa theme in general, and thematic street names (more than just letters) in particular. It's just that tiniest bit more fun. It's like when a host invites you to a theme party, and you get there and they've paid attention to enough t...

Super. Start by having a look at the "Camp with Us!" page (www.pleasuresofthefleshuniversity.com/camp-with-us.html) to get an idea of how you think you might like to participate. Then shoot us a note at info@pleasuresofthefleshuniversity.com and tell us all about yourself and what your interests are.

Here's another one:

It's a fitness event we have but it's not in a "gym".

The University has an athletics program (well, athlustics), and the university has the space for a gym, but we don't have any gym equipment - yet. :-)

The above comments are all excellent sources of information, but I have to add my two cents :-) ... You want to practice your art at Burning Man, but there is one element of your art that you are forgetting - your CAMP. Your camp is not just a gallery for your art, something to have someone have lay...

I thought that Den of Iniquity was going to bow out this year because Temple of Atonement was going - the idea being that Den of Iniquity and Temple of Atonement were supposed to be alternating years. So neither of those two camps are going to be there? That changes things a bit for my camp. A large...

I just checked 5 minutes ago and it's still the 2009 stuff that's there. That's OK, those volunteers are overworked, busy beavers and I'm sure that they'll get the site updated as soon as they can.

LOL! Thanks for the chuckle, you guys. Sometimes it feels good to lighten up.

@TobeWilde - I ALWAYS think of Fresno when I think of the Central Valley; Fresno is the very heart if it. We love you guys too. I didn't mention Fresno, because I didn't figure anyone from there would want to take a 4-hour (each way) day trip to the Bay Area for a Saturday work session. But if I'm w...

Or even better if I spell "Sacramento" correctly.

I usually use Norcal to contrast with the LA/San Diego area. But you're right in that San Francisco is only about 60% of the way from the bottom of the state to the top. Perhaps saying "Bay Area / Sacramanto / Central Valley" would be more accurate (because I want to include places like Modesto and ...

My theme camp is based in San Francisco/Oakland and theoretically I'd have room for all 12 of you. Check out www.pleasuresofthefleshuniversity.com, and if if seems up your alley, then drop me a note and we'll talk about the possibility. Also, in the next couple of weekends we're going to have an in-...

@UglyDougly - OK. Here's the first very rough cut: http://www.pleasuresofthefleshuniversity.com/schedule-of-events.html. In my late-blooming camp, so far it's me and a few ambitious camp-mates. I could do most of these activities with who I have now, but I won't let my campmates spend all of their t...

Can anyone from the Burning Man management tell me with certainty:

1) When the Who-What-Where will open up for people to post events, and

2) More importantly, when will be the CUT-OFF FOR POSTING EVENTS in the Who-What-Where

Thanks in advance for the scoop.

ANOTHER UPDATE: It was great to meet and talk to so many of you in person at the Noobie BBQ in San Francisco last Saturday! In response to your questions along the lines of, "What kind of things can a new camp-mate contribute?" ... First, I've posted a new page - "Teach, Help, or Camp with Us" - on ...

There are openings at my camp in a number of roles - adult, technical, artistic, and general. Have a look at my site (www.pleasuresofthefleshuniversity.com) and see if the theme of my camp holds any interest for you. In any case, I wouldn't give up so fast on finding a theme camp. Keep up your searc...

Ah. Very good point. If I was careful about how I published each class, I might be able to attract a more focuses group - focused on that specific topic.

That last question was in response to Shambala's last post.

An my camp I'll be delivering sexually-oriented courses. In fact, one woman who's volunteered to teach a few courses plans to teach a couple of topics that are extremely sexually explicit (one being on self-gratification, interestingly enough). When I planned my camp I didn't expect that huge of a f...

Fantastic idea. Easy to make a cohesive theme about it too, and add outdoor dojo decor. You could even offer short, fun, beginner's classes for visitors. And you could do demos and hold a tournament. There's tremendous potential here.

It would probably help your search for a camp - especially a camp in which you'd fit best and have the most fun - if you posted a little bit about EACH of the 7 of you: basic info about you + what kind of things you like to do in a camp + what themes you're interested in + what activities you'd like...

Update on Pleasures of the Flesh University at Black Rock City (www.pleasuresofthefleshuniversity.com): Well, the University's agenda of offerings and activities are fleshing out; the first-draft, 3-d design of the campus is completed; and the application for placement is in. Also, we already have a...
