Need campmates - The Gods' Vending Inc.

Post by Polka Dot Lola » Sat Jul 27, 2013 11:31 pm

The Gods' Vending Inc. from Victoria BC is in need of a couple of extra campmates. We are a placed theme camp.

We were given a larger camp area than requested. So we would LOVE to invite a couple of Burners to join us. We have room for an extra vehicle and a large tent or small trailer.

About our camp: Our Cargo Cult style vending machine (a functioning machine built from wood and bamboo) Is the main focus of the camp. It will be vending objects of desire to all who choose to chant a short prayer to the Gods.
As Cargo Cult was a big thing on South Sea Islands we also have a shade shelter stocked with ukuleles just for fun.

So if you play ukulele or always wanted to learn this would be a big plus!!

A day at our camp would go something like this:
Morning- relax, go out and explore the city, a time for independent adventures.
Afternoon- Take turns being at camp to run the vending machine. When we run out of stock for the day or just want to go and do something else we hang an "OUT OF ORDER" sign on the machine. No stress.
Evening- Happy hour, dinner, and getting ready to go out for night time adventures on the playa and at other camps.

We do not use generators. We have solar panels to keep our fridge running, solar lighting and propane for cooking.
We have a tiny trailer 13' long and a 10' by 10' shade shelter that is a common area.

We speak English, French, and a bit of Spanish.

So if you would like to join our camp please send me a message.

Certainly, Therapist, placement is not your only criterion. That would be sad, and if it were my camp (and I know it's not) I would not interview someone with that question and only that question.

I was wondering "where" also.
Not because I'm looking to join a camp, but because I'd love to see home made vending machine. Especially one made out of Bamboo and wood, makes me think of Gilligans Island or Swiss Family Robinson tree house.

We have found some great new campmates who said all the right things... such as "What can we do to help?" " What do you need?" So we welcome Gobkin and Tupac to our camp! :D

I was SHOCKED at some of the replies from others. My favourite in the ridiculous category was "Do you have hot showers?" and "How much do you charge people to stay at your camp?" Some people seemed to have no clue as to what Burning Man is all about and certainly had NOT read any information about BM preparation or culture. :evil:
