Lost Penguins @ 4:00 and Arcade

We doubled our shade last year, and have couches and seating and lemonade. Live music sometimes and other programming you might stumble upon (Flash Fiction contest, Talk shows etc)

hooray for burnerbabies!

Wow, your "no work" fees are pretty steep- I guess the people paying what's posted here (should you be posting fees here? I'm not sure of the etiquette) get the honor of serving the ones who pony up more? I'd love to see a description of your programming, tell me more about these transformative work...

It may not be too late- there was a mention in the last JRS [BManUpdate] V17:#30:7.20.13 Make sure you hustle though! and Congratulations ~~~ GETTING MARRIED AT BURNING MAN? IT'S TRICKY! Jason writes with this helpful (and super charming!) information for would-be playa brides and grooms: "'What?! B...

The Lost Penguins are at Rod's Road and Desiderata for daytime snowcones, lemonade, couches and obstacle course and evenings with live music, weird shows, wine and chocolate. Chocolate Martini party on Tuesday Night. Blues Jam Saturday afternoon

I'm always curious when someone's first post is asking for something- particularly when looking for a pay-for-service- and then you never hear from them again. How is 8 posts in this thread never being heard from again? 8 posts is a third of what I've managed in 3 years- if she sticks around, she'l...

I'm always curious when someone's first post is asking for something- particularly when looking for a pay-for-service- and then you never hear from them again. It's like crashing a party to take a dump in the can and lifting a bottle from the host bar as you cruise back out the door. Not really in t...

Hi Phillip! I think that's fabulous! (I would certainly like to learn how to tango.) There will be two threads at the top of the 2013 Art and Performance forum (http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewforum.php?f=321) . . . very soon. They will be called * Artists Seeking Stages * Stages Seeking Artists C...

my first year- I was going to buy a tent, but there was a perfectly good one pulled out of the camp storage that I borrowed. year 2- a friend had built a yurt, so he lent me his tent-castle year 3- friends couldn't make the burn so I borrowed their Barbie Dream House mega tent year 4- slept in a box...

Don't be so determined to prove your work ethic to your camp that you exhaust yourself under the sun and render yourself completely useless. Take breaks when you need them and remember that anyone giving you attitude for resting probably needs to drink more water themselves.

We do a meal plan in our camp, breakfast and dinner prepared onsite and the budget comes out of a larger "dues pot" that goes toward everything- repairs to the gennie, transpo for infrastructure, new speakers when they finally die etc, and dues are not optional. Everyone in the camp of 80 signs up f...

Thanks Drawingablank!

I'll plan for this then, and test here before I leave, worst case scenario it falls down, and I'll be no worse off than usual

I'm trying to wrap my brain around possible hacks for easier portability. I was wondering if anyone active on the board has tried cutting the 10' ribs in half and re-attached using additional 1 1/4 joints? I imagine that would sacrifice stability, but maybe additional strapping could compensate? My ...

Hey! Welcome! If you are interested, the Toronto Decompression is happening next weekend https://www.facebook.com/events/302319509886474/ There is also a casual Burner Drinks Night every other Thursday https://www.facebook.com/events/218661751604631/?fref=ts that is a great way to meet the locals ch...

I'm limited to the 50 lbs I can fly with (wardrobe and what gear I don't store/intend to buy in Reno), every new thing I find through the year means taking something out. It's tragic. The more mix-and-match a piece can be, the longer it'll stay through multiple suitcase repackings. I try to get a fe...

The idea that the low income program is a tax, I assume is suggesting ticket prices would be lower without it. Threads on the ticket price have hammered upon us that the business can set their ticket price at whatever the market demands. It's just as not up to us where they spend their money. And it...

so, it's 12°C here today in Toronto Canada. (that's 56.3 Farenheights), seems non-winters here are becoming the new normal.

Instead of complaining, I might leave the house and enjoy it.

Our theme camp leadership changes hands every year- including the person who writes the application, and w/w/w listings for the cafe stage so it would be nice if each camp member could access the theme camp information for future reference. I imagine that will not be the case though.

A couple of years ago my camp added a "you should" committee to our leadership crew of 10 out of the 80 we camp with. Anyone who has an idea that starts with "you should" gets sent to the committee lead to be straightened out. There are always opportunities to contribute to the camp in a committee h...

People can't get rid of their tickets in Toronto. I think the distance/planning involved in big travel had people without tickets resigned to missing out this year, and didn't book vacation time, didn't book flights etc. The moral of the story- prepare as if you have a ticket, there are always ticke...

That's fair, thanks for the reply!

I would like to provide a little feedback on the locking of the Stages seeking Artists, and Artists seeking Stages threads, respectively I'm guessing the intention is to drive traffic to the spark collaboration site that Burning Man created? As the primary booker of entertainment for my camp- I post...

Has anyone suggested wearing a watch yet? Last year I wore a watch for the first time and has so many more long and interesting conversations- people rarely are in a rush to go away after you tell them. Added Bonus- I knew what the time was, AND anyone I asked about the time knew it was an icebreake...

Lost Penguins moving in! 6/D

Hello from the Lost Penguin! We're a little cafe in our eleventh year on playa. Home to the finest wine ever put in a box, delicious chocolate and afternoon snowcones, we are a hospitality camp with comfy couches (get em before we convert it all to playa-tech) and a small stage (nothing fancy, off t...

email confirmation, $320, single ticket

this feels the same as every year, I'm going home

Our camp got dinged one year, though the charge was dropped after the burn. We're pretty serious of ID-ing everyone who looks young, and the person who serves an underager will be personally responsible for the fine incurred (rather than the camp) which gives us all plenty of motivation to cover our...

We've been moved- corner of 4:00 and Engagement.

Divorce to Engagement - life usually only goes that way when you're a middle aged sugar daddy

hey e-playans, The Lost Penguins are hosting a casual blues jam for a few hours starting Saturday at 4pm. We're going to pull together a couple of bands and do lots of swapping in of individual players and would love to have you swing by. (5:00/D) If you have a band or want to come together with fri...

Lost Penguin Cafe has their traditional nightly fine boxed wine and chocolate. Tuesday night Chocolate Martinis and I'm making prison hooch from a recipe on the internet for my open mic show Death Row Floor Show (5pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday)- though I'll probably leave the real stuff in the jar...
