As a bow to local industries, I hear,
the coffee's 50/50 llama poo this year.

I haven't met Chai Guy, but if I get to go this year he's one of the people I want to meet. DJ Big E is another one on that list. Bob is also on the list, but he's very elusive and hard to catch from what I've heard.
Someone told me the Chai at Center Camp was the Republic of Tea's mix...but I can't confirm that.

In keeping with the new Radical Self-Consumer(tm) policy, Burning Man Industries will be opening the new 24-hour Starbucks in Center Camp. This will be one of the new Multi-Franchise Resturants with a Taco Bell, Burger King, and Long John Silvers included. Portions of the proceeds will go to the RainForest*. And remember, if you don't eat at BurningBuns(tm)- you aren't officially in The Spirit of Burning Man(tm).Ivy wrote:Or how about when people bring their own?

*Florida theme park and Rave club. Not to be confused with some icky ecologically concerned group.

Well, it's a start. I kinda like the regression back to taking care of your own.You will be allowed to use your own mug at the Café, however, recycling bins which were previously located in the Café will NOT exist in 2004. If you bring your own bottled or canned beverages to the Café, please plan to take the drink containers back to your camp with you.

Chai Guy (or anyone else)
How much do you think it would take in donations to allow you to buy enough chai supplies so that you could hand out chai 24/7 (would require multiple workers of course)?
Maybe you should setup a Paypal donation account. I'm willing to gift you some worthless dollars to allow your mission of supplying good chai for free to expand. Anyone else?

Screw coffee.
Dump all those bullshit expresso machines and go for the machines that make the good stuff.

Oh yah. All the caffeine, non of the heat, more of the love.

Hmmm.. I'm not really sure. Many people donate chai ingredients to me every year. I figure a cup of my chai costs about 20 cents or so, maybe 30 cents if I provide the cup as well (and I usually do). Last year I gave out 50-60 gallons of chai or so.How much do you think it would take in donations to allow you to buy enough chai supplies so that you could hand out chai 24/7 (would require multiple workers of course)?
I think the other question is WHY should we go to Burning Man and expect something to be available 24/7? A big part of my experience at Burning Man is in the randomness of it all, wandering around the playa and running into someone giving out ice cream is much more exciting when you aren't expecting it.
