I will see the Man and Temple burn this year

All I saw for the Man burn last year was white dust...and we missed the Temple burn because my camp mates thought it burned later

I will not neglect to use the damn bike lock purchased for $10, just because the bikes are within 20 ft of us sitting and watching a show.

theme camps are hard, that way...
this year, I'm pre-opening fluffer on two playArt projects, performing *at least* 5 times in ArtInstallations, fluffing a themecamp, and teaching 3 'Singing for Scaredycats" workshops...
turning down Center Camp stage (year6) is hard...

but I need a little 'ME' time...

What's "Singing for Scaredycats" all about?

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me

I totally missed The Burn (as far as visually), and couldn't have cared less! I had a great time at camp. I think this year, I will probably make a similar effort to avoid all the traffic down at The Man. My first year, after waiting and waiting in the crowds, I still missed it (thanks, bladder!). So yeah, something I will not do this year is care about where I am on Saturday night.

JK...
Singing for Scaredycats is for folks who think they can't/shouldn't sing; or for those who just want to learn more about their voice... at the beginning, the dome fills with nervous people; at the end of the hour, we're all singing in 4 part harmony! Fun!

Where is Singing for Scaredycats or what camp is it in?
I normally wouldn't want to do it which is the reason I want to do it because after I've done it I'll be happy I did it!
Group awakenings are amaaaazing.
Singing together should not stop with
summer camps (do they even have those anymore???)

I was thinking the same thing.

Are you guys a registered camp hence listed in the program? Or will I have to further tax my old brain to try and remember it?

Yes, DOTA is a theme camp, at/around the 3:00 portal (placement team willing...); events should be in the WWW...
