Drug-free 2-Story Camp - Need People

areohbee · Post by **areohbee** » Tue Apr 11, 2006 4:31 pm

I said drug free, not free drugs, and alcohol IS a drug.

I am looking for simpaticos to help build and occupy 2-story camp structure, and I need to stay away from drugs / alcohol. Camp structure will be ceremoniously burned at the end of the event.

I am willing to do pre-trip preparation my self, or with some help, but definitely need / want others to share the work / fun at Burning Man.

Plans are available at http://robcole.com/personal/burning_man/KumUpAnce.swf - let me know if problems viewing.
Shower: http://robcole.com/personal/burning_man/Shower.swf.

My vision of the "perfect" companions:
- 4 to 6 total people, including me - at least as many gals as guys (I am a man).
- people into pushing their envelopes who delight in others doing the same.
- people who love people who are unlike themselves.
- considerate and respectful of other camp-mates, e.g.
- tidy up after themselves.
- willing to be quieter when someone sleeping.
- don't expect other camp-mates to do the camp-work.

My objectives at burning man:
- get my creative juices flowing, experience, participate, ...
- log a lot of hours drumming and dancing.
- connect with people.
- be able to see far and wide from the top of my camp.
- burn things.

PS - I went to burning man in '97, '98, '99, '00, and '02.

So what is a simpatico?
The only definition I can find for it is something to do with Bell Canada.

Thanks spectabillis - I've done some time in AA, but not an active AA "member" any more. AA compatible though. - Been clean for 15 years.

Yes - partners in crime, if I'm reading you right.

I thought alcohol was a toxin.
