Re: Plug & Play Camping

Question: Are we hosting a Plug & Play camp? For our 2012 Erection (BaalMart), MalMart needs approx $20K-$25K to rent scaffolding, speakers, projectors, lights, & moving trucks. These funds will also be used to fabricate geodesic domes, fabric wall panels, comfy couches, and sturdy ramps. Currently ...

Re: Plug & Play Camping

I was shown this video last summer by someone who was part of the build crew and catering for this camp. I don't know anyone but her and I'm going to refrain from making my own comments about it for the time being. I do think it's a fitting video for this discussion. [vimeo]http://vimeo.com/1534685...

Re: Plug & Play Camping

@Cosmic --- not taking it personal, no worries there. If you mistake somehow how sharing my perspective is seen as defensive, then something is lost in translation. I understand that people feel strongly about Plug and Play and I've offered to take part in the conversation, hopefully shed some light...

Re: Plug & Play Camping

@zerzura --- Not completely, but somewhat true. As we are made aware of different opportunities, we take part in them. For instance, being asked to participate in the Plug and Play conversation. I've always known of the Playa Restoration Team, the Rangers, and other important volunteer teams and the...

Re: Plug & Play Camping

@cosmisgiggle Yes, after 13 years of camping and watching Burning Man evolve, this is what makes sense to me. It would be great if we were 200 people all located in San Francisco but the reality is we are globally dispersed and, in fact, very few are in SF or anywhere near so planning is complex ESP...

Re: Plug & Play Camping

Yes and No. We had daily MOOP crews made up from our camp volunteers. Every person who participates in Play)A(Skool is fully aware that we are volunteer based and each member must fulfill that obligation. In fact, everyone was assigned a day to Moop and a day to Cook. We had a volunteer MOOP leader ...

Re: Plug & Play Camping

WILDLY UNTRUE . . . I'm very open to discussion about Plug and Play but NOT to baseless lies and rumors. Totally made me laugh though. Heheh... The first guy, Jon la Grace, "Theme Camp Organizer"... A friend of mine on the bike club told me that this guy was trying to steal a whole slew of Yellow B...
