Promote your theme camp and events with a promo on BMIR!

[Bobzilla]

BMIR, Burning Man Information Radio (94.5FM on the playa and http://bmir.org on the internet) is the best way to let the citizens of Black Rock City know about your theme camp, art installation or events. Now that placement is out and you have your address it's the perfect time to create a promo telling every one all about it. We would LOVE to have them in hand before we leave for the playa so we can start running them on the air ASAP.

BMIR is going to start running theme camp and event promo announcements starting August 1st. You can tune in to BMIR via the internet and hear about what the playa has in store for you. Many people now stream BMIR on their smartphones during their drive to the playa. We'll be live from the playa starting 8/24 and will be where you want to be listening to find out about the weather, late breaking news you need to know and info on how the city is coming together.

If someone in your camp is an audio whiz they can send us your promos at anytime. Not sure how to record something ahead of time? No worries! J Kanizzle, BMIR's Production Manager has put together this handy tutorial that shows you how to download and configure Audacity, a free audio recording program. The tutorial then takes you through the basics of creating your very own announcement.

The tutorial can be found at : http://tinyurl.com/mn55p5

Once you have something recorded please email before August 21st to : [email protected]

Remember to let people know the basics : what, where and when. Please keep announcements under 60 seconds and send them to us in .mp3 format. Keep it under 60 seconds please. There are no language restrictions.

Can't make the August 21st deadline? You can also put your announcements on a CD or flash drive and hand deliver them to BMIR on the playa. BMIR is located in Center Camp, right between the Rangers and The Department of Mutant Vehicles.

Now if you just can't pull this off, no worries. The BMIR Production Office will be open every day from 12N to 4PM during the event. You can come in and we will help you record an announcement right on the playa.

Thanks and don't forget to bring an FM radio.
