Burning Man Services - 2010

Post by scotto » Wed Mar 31, 2010 11:59 pm

For Immediate Release - April 1, 2010

Burning Man to offer Gated Communities in 2010

We have listened to your feedback; we have heard your concerns about unwanted folks wandering into your camp, cutting thru to get to the next street and the security of your valued possessions. Burning Man’s Metropolis 2010 layout will include Gated Communities, strictly controlling ingress and egress for pedestrians, bicycles, and mutant vehicles to ensure that your camp, your Playa Gear remain safe & secure.

To enter a gated community a person must be a registered resident with photo ID or the person must have a friend in the gated community who gives specific permission to the security guards at the gate to that effect. Art grants are available for design submissions for the three main entrances into the Gated Community, Berlin, Moscow & Tokyo; Deadline is 04/01/10.

Nevada’s Happy Cows Return Gift to Burning Man

For years Northern Nevada’s dairy industry has benefitted from the annual Burning Man Festival with donations of tons of food scraps left behind by those that camp in the Black Rock Desert. Now it is time
for them to return the gift. The Cow Union and Dairy Farmers have finished an agreement that will provide Fresh Milk (Whole & 2%) to the Center Camp Café and will be setting up a daily Playa-wide delivery schedule. Gone are the days of powdered creamer!!

Sign up today and have Fresh Milk with your coffee, a win-win for both Nevada’s Happy Cows and all who enter the gates of Black Rock City.

Playa Clean job applicants must be able to: Perform physical activities that require considerable use of your arms and legs and moving your whole body, such as climbing, lifting, balancing, walking and stooping
That eliminates me. Especially all that talk of balancing and stooping.
It's pointless to walk when it's past time to run.

It's a typo, I believe he meant "schtupping," not "stooping."

Oh thank God! I've been advocating for years that BRC create a Participant Profiling Program. Such a program would allow the swift identification of "those people" and provide internment camps to adequately seperate them from us for the duration of the Burn. Gated communities and walled villages are the first step towards keeping our city safe from dirty hippies, nudists and all forms of Godless Heathenry and Monkey Business.

The hot air balloon I fixed last year was based on a golf cart frame or something very similar. It was earth bound for sure but one probably could get a ride on it.

Yep - went up in it. It's legend because most aren't up in early am when it was flying......most of the population never saw it.
