There does not seem to be a 2007 Theme Camp section on ePlaya
yet, but a decision was made during the Ventura Kinetic Sculpture
Race last Saturday:
There will be a Kinetic Sculpture Racing Theme Camp at
Burning Man in 2007!
Considering how much crossover there already is between BM and KSR,
this is a natural.
In short, Kinetic Sculpture Racing Contraptions are human
powered mutant vehicles that are raced over land, sand, mud
and water. Most are based on bicycle parts, but there are also
many that are highly sophisticated.
With the Green theme for 2007, it seems particularly appropriate to
give this human powered sport/hobby/art-form/behavioral-disorder
its own Theme Kamp!
The Kinetic Kamp will probably be centered around the Kinetic
Mobile Kommand Center and Tea Parlour -- which is the white
bus with a red stripe you saw at 2:20 and D in 2006.
Wether this will be an Official Registered Theme Camp or just an
informal theme camp, is still to be decided.
We will not be able cross a river or make a mud pit on the Playa,
but we can sure give rides!

Race in Humboldt County, Northern California:

For The Glory!
