Las Vegas Burners

flyin_toaster — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 06:03:14 GMT

I have queered up this groups so much. One of the girls helped me to do that a lot. Hey all... I go play with Burners whenever I can. Last weekend I got to hang out with a bunch of Burners at Joshua Tree National Park and it was so cool. I am an active Burner here in LV and my group is having a get together on Jan 29th to the 31st. I want to open this to QBurners specially... because it is my selfish streak! I am at meetup.com/vegasburners or lvburners.com - I am so looking forward to a winter frolic. Check it out or hit me up with any questions. Single Burner here... looking to have someone to hold hands with at 2010 - Love & Light!

UPDATED Queer Camp and Event Listing (see inside)

dfess — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:44:25 GMT

All, I've updated the listing with anything new I've seen here in my previous post and also from info I received from Kitten on C&J. Please let me know if you find anything else you want me to add. This list is in date/time order. There are two different locations here now. One was scraped from the playa events listing online and the other from the camp placement list. You can copy and paste this into a word document if you want to print it out. If I get more updates before I leave for the playa on Sunday, I'll post another updated list. See you all on the playa!

Event Name: Erotic Massage for Men & their lovers
Description: In this hands-on, clothes-off workshop (now in its 6th year on the playa!) we'll practice the basics of breathwork and erotic massage as taught by the Body Electric School, which can lead to extended, full-body orgasm and altered mind-states. This is a non-ejaculatory practice that stimulates and spreads erotic energy through the body. It is very hot, but it isn't sex; there is no sexual interaction between the giver and receiver except for the massage, and boundaries will be respected. The workshop focuses on the male body, though women can give massage. Come early; latecomers and spectators will not be admitted, and we've had to turn people away every year.

Event Name: Erotic Massage Workshop
Description: In this hands-on, clothes-off workshop (now in its 6th year on the playa!) we'll practice the basics of breathwork and erotic massage as taught by the Body Electric School, which can lead to extended, full-body orgasm and altered mind-states. This is a non-ejaculatory practice that stimulates and spreads erotic energy through the body. It is very hot, but it isn?t sex; there is no sexual interaction between the giver and receiver except for the massage, and boundaries will be respected. The workshop focuses on the male body, though women can give massage. Come early; latecomers and spectators will not be admitted, and we've had to turn people away every year.

Event Name: Small Peen Pride
Description: This year, before the Critical Dicks March, Comfort and Joy is hosting a pre-party/support group/pride march for "select-size" burners. If you're terrified, turned on, embarrassed, or otherwise concerned about getting naked at Burning Man because your bishop looks more like a pawn, you're not alone! Come join us as we talk about the pros and cons of having a Little Jimmy (and yes, there are pro's!), look at photos of pint-sized celebrities, share techniques (gay & straight) for maximizing what you got, possibly drink some vodka, do a bit of "I'll show you mine if you show me yours," and, if we're feeling daring (or drunk), we'll make some posters and parade as a contingent in the Critical Dicks March, which starts at 12pm. And as an extra incentive, the smallest cock (of those who choose to compete) wins a free bottle of vodka! (Everyone with a penis is invited, but if you're bigger than, say, 6" hard, we might ask you to leave. And yes, participants WILL be asked to get naked! If this terrifies you, this workshop is for you!)

Event Name: "Common Tongues" - Sex, Risk and Gay Men
Description: "Common Tongues" explores current perspectives regarding sexual behavior, perceived risk factors and communication in our polyamorous, highly sexualized culture. How do we negotiate what we do—and want to do—with our partners? What factors come into play when making decisions regarding "safety"? What unspoken agreements do we hold with ourselves and our partners? Are those agreements ever broken...and if so, why? Due to the highly intimate nature of this topic, I'm requesting that only men who have sex with men participate. I understand that gender exclusion is controversial, but it's my goal to create a safe, healing space where men can bond on their common physical and sexual experiences and feel free to relate experiences and questions in a common psychic arena. This is not a lecture or therapy group but an open discussion for people to share their experiences, viewpoints, and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental/non-shaming space. Vapor (the facilitator) is a San Francisco filmmaker with an educational background in psychology and communications.

Event Name: Small Peen Pride
Description: This year, before the Critical Dicks March, C&J is hosting a pre-party/support group/pride march for "select-size" burners. If you're terrified, turned on, embarrassed, or otherwise concerned about getting naked at Burning Man because your bishop looks more like a pawn, you're not alone! Come join us as we talk about the pros and cons of having a Little Jimmy (and yes, there are pro's!), look at photos of pint-sized celebrities, share techniques (gay & straight) for maximizing what you got, possibly drink some vodka, do a bit of "I'll show you mine if you show me yours," and, if we're feeling daring (or drunk), we'll make some posters and parade as a contingent in the Critical Dicks March, which starts at 12pm. And as an extra incentive, the smallest cock (of those who choose to compete) wins a free bottle of vodka! (Everyone with a penis is invited, but if you're bigger than, say, 6" hard, we might ask you to leave. And yes, participants WILL be asked to get naked! If this terrifies you, this workshop is for you!)

Event Name: Erotic Massage for Men & their lovers
Description: In this hands-on, clothes-off workshop (now in its 6th year on the playa!) we'll practice the basics of breathwork and erotic massage as taught by the Body Electric School, which can lead to extended, full-body orgasm and altered mind-states. This is a non-ejaculatory practice that stimulates and spreads erotic energy through the body. It is very hot, but it isn't sex; there is no sexual interaction between the giver and receiver except for the massage, and boundaries will be respected. The workshop focuses on the male body, though women can give massage. Come early; latecomers and spectators will not be admitted, and we've had to turn people away every year.

Event Name: "Common Tongues" - Sex, Risk and Gay Men
Description: "Common Tongues" explores current perspectives regarding sexual behavior, perceived risk factors and communication in our polyamorous, highly sexualized culture. How do we negotiate what we do?and want to do?with our partners? What factors come into play when making decisions regarding "safety"? What unspoken agreements do we hold with ourselves and our partners? Are those agreements ever broken...and if so, why? Due to the highly intimate nature of this topic, I'm requesting that only men who have sex with men participate. I understand that gender exclusion is controversial, but it's my goal to create a safe, healing space where men can bond on their common physical and sexual experiences and feel free to relate experiences and questions in a common psychic arena. This is not a lecture or therapy group but an open discussion for people to share their experiences, viewpoints, and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental/non-shaming space. Vapor (the facilitator) is a San Francisco filmmaker with an educational background in psychology and communications.

This is not a lecture or therapy group, but an open discussion where people can share their experiences, viewpoints, and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental/non-shaming space. Vapor (the facilitator) is a San Francisco filmmaker with an educational background in psychology and communications. His upcoming short film "Skinnyfat" deals with body image issues in gay men.

Event Name: FULL MOON CHANTING
Description: Prana Mommy is here for you, offering up mystical realism, not as seen on TV. She will serve up old school love and east west magic from the playa. And no matter where you are, tune in to the face of the moon to connect refresh and be inspired. Full moon chanting is about celebration, singing, dancing & worshipping the diving within. For thousands of years in India and around the world, the medium used to frame this ceremony is the Maha Mrtyunjaya Mantra, a Sanskrit text from the Rg Veda, which is the oldest known text still around to this day. Repetition of this prayer has been known to induce trance state and great feelings of bliss, inner peace, and non-duality. It is said to bequeath health, joy, good luck, reputation & wealth. It dissipates fretfulness, dreads, fears, ill effects of malicious planets, apparitions, diseases, and death by mishap. So prepare to be dazzled and delighted. You've heard the hype, now come see for yourself what all the fuss is about. Expect bliss, immortality, peace, community, & much much more. With love of all that is divine, I hope to see you there. Love, --Prana Mommy "A few bumps and bruises, it's a small price to pay for bliss. Bloody Mary anyone?" --Maryann Forrester

Event Name: "Mirror, Mirror" - Body Image in Gay Men
Description: "Mirror, Mirror" is a group discussion exploring issues of body image in men who sleep with men. Though any gender/genderfuck/etc. is welcome to attend, I specifically want to create a safe, open space for men to look at how we perceive our own body types and the impact those perceptions have on our lives. This is not a lecture or therapy group, but an open discussion where people can share their experiences, viewpoints, and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental/non-shaming space. Vapor (the facilitator) is a San Francisco filmmaker with an educational background in psychology and communications. His upcoming short film "Skinnyfat" deals with body image issues in gay men.

Event Name: Erotic Massage for Men & their lovers
Description: In this hands-on, clothes-off workshop (now in its 6th year on the playa!) we'll practice the basics of breathwork and erotic massage as taught by the Body Electric School, which can lead to
extended, full-body orgasm and altered mind-states. This is a non-ejaculatory practice that stimulates and spreads erotic energy through the body. It is very hot, but it isn’t sex; there is no sexual interaction
between the giver and receiver except for the massage, and boundaries will be respected. The workshop focuses on the male body, though women can give massage. Come early; latecomers and spectators
will not be admitted, and we've had to turn people away every year.

Event Name: "Common Tongues" - Sex, Risk and Gay Men
Description: "Common Tongues" explores current perspectives regarding sexual behavior, perceived risk factors and communication in our polyamorous, highly sexualized culture. How do we negotiate what
we do—and want to do—with our partners? What factors come into play when making decisions regarding "safety"? What unspoken agreements do we hold with ourselves and our partners? Are those
agreements ever broken...and if so, why? Due to the highly intimate nature of this topic, I'm requesting that only men who have sex with men participate. I understand that gender exclusion is controversial, but
it's my goal to create a safe, healing space where men can bond on their common physical and sexual experiences and feel free to relate experiences and questions in a common psychic arena. This is not a
lecture or therapy group but an open discussion for people to share their experiences, viewpoints, and feelings in a safe, non-judgmental/non-shaming space. Vapor (the facilitator) is a San Francisco filmmaker
with an educational background in psychology and communications.

So where are all our queers for Burning Man this year?

dfess — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 04:15:15 GMT

So far I see Camp Stella, Astropups, Camp Beaverton, Circus Jerk, Gay Rd. Village and Moonbow that appear to have a queer sensibility for this year. The only event I see so far, is the Gay Pride parade. Comfort & Joy has some events listed but are not on the theme camp list. Are we going to be well represented this year?

Wonderingly...

Tea Bagging!

Jerrod — Sat, 02 May 2009 16:12:41 GMT

Save the Date

So after 2 amazing years of the Tea Baggers Ball, we are back in 09, bigger, wetter, and more uncut, (or cut if that's your preference). So watch out! More info later, but keep your Wednesday afternoon WIIIIIDE open. Last year we shut down the street!

We're also adding another afternoon party on Tuesday afternoon. WIENER WELCOME WAGON. Come let us welcome you with some grilled hot dogs, and then take a picture of your hot dog in a bun in our Horny Hot Dog Photo Booth. Hamburger buns provided for the ladies, It'll be the tastiest mammogram you've ever had.

We change our name every year, but last year we were the Unicorn Rest Stop. The one thing that doesn't change is our host camp, Camp Full Serve/Self Serve. 7:45 and B the last 4 years in a row!

Only on the playa could an event like this be innocent and fun!

Assistant wanted for Body Electric style Erotic Massage workshops

Jay / Dharma — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:37:54 GMT

Hey queerburners -

For the 6th year (!) I'm teaching body electric style erotic massage on the playa. I'm looking for assistants. Best is if you've done a Body Electric course and can help do the demo on a live model while I explain the massage strokes, and can then be a "second pair of hands" helping people during the actual massage. Second best is if you have some massage training and can be a 2nd pair of non-cock hands during the workshop and just help people through the hour.

Interested? The workshops are Tues & Thurs 2-4pm, and Friday 12-2pm, at Comfort & Joy. Email me at dharma@godinyourbody.com w/questions or to volunteer! Thanks!

Moonbow Camp returns w/ Gay Pride Parade 2009 in BRC.

Mario — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 18:36:54 GMT

Yeah, Moonbow Camp will be returning for Burning Man: Evolution 2009, and we'll be hosting the Gay Pride parade this year on Wednesday September 2nd, lineup at 1pm, starts at 2pm. We learned alot last year, and this years parade will be better, larger and with a surprise Grand Marshal to help out! We thought it important to March to show our community that we're still here fighting Prop 8 and the homophobes that were there last year at the Burn. So start your planning, outfits, flags, tell your friends, campmates and be there!
Thanks,
Mario aka Julie the Crusie Director
Moonbow camp 2009
P.S. Yes, there were Homophobes across the street from us last year at Burning Man 2008.

call for djs

henryphillip — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 17:57:45 GMT

hey folks!

dragon debris (the folks who brought you such gems as bollywood, japanorama, la dolce vita and azteca) is going to be presenting "the garden of de-lights" this year-inspired by our sister project, luminous passage and bosch's masterpiece tryptych, "the garden of earthly delights."

we'll have our annual party on tuesday night (djs probably covered for that but i'll keep everyone posted), but there are open slots all week for those interested.

the equipment will include 2 gemini cdjs and the new numark idj2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hA2jx2MjPT0) which is pretty much the latest in dj technology. i'm not bringing the technic 1200s to the playa anymore as i'm totally over having the wind slide the tone arm across the records or having the records completely blow away,

so if any of y'all are interested, please contact me off list and let me know
a) when you'd like to spin
b) what medium you like (can do both at once)
c) what sort of stuf you'd like to play
d) what sort of experience you've got

looking forward to working with you guys. see you on the playa!

bondage Tree At Burning Man 2009

Salamander — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 23:34:23 GMT

I'm interested in creating a bondage tree sculpture for this years Burning Man Festival

I'd like to build a bondage tree. Primarily made of wood. Something that’s a bit gothic in style that incorporates elements of a cathedral in its design as well. It would have many attachment points built onto it, as well as some rope and nylon webbing. In some places there would be shackles attached ranging from simple velcro to more elaborate buckling ones. Perhaps a stockade, like the puritans used. The intention for the whole project is for people to be able to interact with the tree and each other with bondage at all levels of experience from novice to expert and from playful to serious. I love the idea that through bondage to the tree people become part of the sculpture. I want to make the tree so that all parts of it are visually interesting; so that it supports examination and photography from each part to the entire sculpture. I'd also like to write thought provoking quotes about the meaning and nature of bondage on the tree and perhaps on placards around it. I'd like to design the tree so that it's well shaded in the day and well lit at night, mostly with LED rope light. I'd like to use as much salvaged and recycled materials for construction as feasible.

I'm not able to realize this project entirely by myself. I would need help with construction, and help in finding a place to store it as it's being built, and help with transporting it to the playa. I welcome help from anyone interested in this project, especially from other bondage enthusiasts and kink oriented artists. Please contact me if you're interested in helping.

I have a lengthy sexual biography at http://www.myspace.com/sfsalamander that you can check out if you'd like to learn more about me.

Event: Queers and Beers: A Gender Talk
Description: Join the women of Camp Beaverton for a cocktail party discussion about gender, sexuality, identity and the creation of safe-spaces for women.
All expressions of queer identity are welcome to participate in the discussion.
We want to open a dialogue with queers on the playa about how to create and honor a safe-space for the free expression of queer women
while maintaining the spirit of inclusion. How does your gender affect your personal expression? How does your identity fit in with or defy the
term "woman?" What is important to you to feel safe? Who gets to be a part in the creation of a safe-space?
Join us for a casual talk about these and other issues- and meet other savvy queers! This
Event precedes our Strap-On-A-Thon- our queer
women's play party. This will be a chance to meet other people and share your story and opinion before throwing down (should you choose
to!).

Looking for a GAY camp to adopt me last minute...

Jonathan — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 04:51:58 GMT

Been going to the playa since 04. This year most of my campmates and my partner are staying home. I'd really like to camp with a big or small gay group. I have: vw camper (sleeps 4), 2000 watt quiet honda generator, a/c for camper, digital projector/screen, ability to help with build/construction. Shy, easygoing, able bodied sort of person. Adopt me? Oh, I'm 47, bearded. That's me on the left, photo link below.

any young queer lads heading out?

drunkennurse — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 15:25:21 GMT

hey guys aint been active on tribe of late been flying all over Europe doing regional stuff checkin in on Swiss Art projects, motivating the Irish burners and Organising the regional burnin spain.

I'm a 26 yo lad from Dublin (ireland, not that shitty little town out side SF) whos out with DPW again this year for the 3rd year in a row. In case you dont know who we are, we get there a month early and build the city for all you kids come and bring your toys. We also stay for a month afterwards and pick up every last rememant of Black rock city.

Don;t get much time to check out the city during the vent due to work and tend not to hang out around the queer camps so much, but if there are any young gay dudes coming who are interested in meeting up and letting me show you the real black rock city then say hey.

Made this posting a year or two back and got lambasted for being ageist, not at all the case.

Just wondering if there are any like minded dudes coming to the event, I spend so much time working that i never get a chance to meet em.

hopefully someone won't start a huge fucking fire early this year and fuck up my days off again.

catch you out there,

In fact i'll probnably be the cunt who searches your vehicle on the way in, so hide them hippies well

EROTIC MASSAGE WORKSHOP
2-4pm, taught by Dharma

Experience the power of sacred sexuality in this hands-on, clothes-off
workshop. We will practice the basics of breathwork and erotic massage
as taught by the Body Electric School, which can lead to extended,
full-body orgasm and an altered mind-state conducive to spiritual
insights. Now in its fifth year on the playa (and first at Comfort &
Joy!), the workshop focuses on the male body, though women can
participate as givers of massage.

Note: if you're looking to get off, this isn't for you — this is a
non-ejaculatory practice that stimulates and spreads erotic energy
through the body. It is very hot, but it isn't sex; there is no sexual
interaction between the giver and receiver except for the massage
itself, and boundaries will be respected. Come early; latecomers and
spectators will not be admitted, and we've had to turn people away
every year.

THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE WORKSHOP
Noon to 1pm, Wednesday

Learn how to give gentle, non-erotic deep-tissue massage.
Today's session focuses on the lower body, legs, stomach,
back, and then facial massage!

**

EROTIC MASSAGE WORKSHOP
2-4pm, taught by Dharma

Experience the power of sacred sexuality in this hands-on, clothes-off
workshop. We will practice the basics of breathwork and erotic massage
as taught by the Body Electric School, which can lead to extended,
full-body orgasm and an altered mind-state conducive to spiritual
insights. Now in its fifth year on the playa (and first at Comfort &
Joy!), the workshop focuses on the male body, though women can
participate as givers of massage.

Note: if you're looking to get off, this isn't for you — this is a
non-ejaculatory practice that stimulates and spreads erotic energy
through the body. It is very hot, but it isn't sex; there is no sexual
interaction between the giver and receiver except for the massage
itself, and boundaries will be respected. Come early; latecomers and
spectators will not be admitted, and we've had to turn people away
every year.

**

A FIERCE NEW YOU - Makeup & Wig Workshop

Then, immediately following the makeup workshop, work your new look on the streets of Black Rock City and let it all hang out on the always raucous “6th annual Romp of the Playa Hookers” rampage through Black Rock City…an experience that transcends the definition of Hot Tranny Mess.

**

BOTTOMING 101
3-5pm

Calling all male bottoms and fans of bottoms! Exercise your
glutes with us, then share your tales, tips, & talents in a
group discussion that will leave you bottoming better!

**

6th ANNUAL ROMP of the PLAYA HOOKERS
5:00pm, leaving shorting thereafter

Immediately following the Makeup & Wig Workshop at Comfort & Joy, we hit the streets as Madame Hissy (aka HistErica), joins forces with the lovely ladies of the House of Love & the….um….”unique” ladies of the House of Hole as they serve as your fearless tour guides on the 6th ANNUAL ROMP OF THE PLAYA HOOKERS rampage through Black Rock City.

Everyone is welcome to this not-to-be-missed event that transcends the epitome of Hot Tranny Mess….on steroids! The wildly unpredictable Romp with this filthy pack of whores, pimps, and their trashy admirers makes Spain’s Running With the Bulls seem like a civilized walk in the park. This highly anticipated field trip into the depths of BRC is always a ridiculously hilarious adventure and a guaranteed rollicking good time. If you miss our 5 pm(ish) departure, you’ll eventually find us at the Deep End for our full blown tranny invasion of the beloved daytime disco rager, where there are also unconfirmed rumors of a guerilla-style takeover of the Deep End stage for a grand musical production drag spectacle.

Beaverton's next call to discuss our "Women's Only Space"

Allison — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 20:22:44 GMT

Hello all,

Camp Beaverton will be conducting its 2nd conference call on Wednesday, July 9th at 6pm PST/ 9pm EST.

I'd like to invite possible Beavers and allies to attend at least the first part of the call. We will be discussing our "Women's Only Space" idea and what this means for non-women identified people. We are committed to being radically inclusive while still maintaining the integrity of a safe-space. I'd love for those with an opinion on the matter to weigh in. The details are below. Meanwhile, feel free to PM me with any questions or stop on by the Camp Beaverton tribe to chime in.

Thanks!

Here are the details:

Date: Wednesday, July 09, 2008
Start Time: 9:00 PM Eastern Time / 6:00 PM Pacific Time
Dial-in Number: 1-309-946-5100 (Midwest)
Participant Access Code 18568

On the agenda:

* FreedomCommunity Update

*** NEW AGENDA ITEM: Before we get into mundane planning details, I'd like to open a dialogue to address our "Women's Only Space."
What does this mean to you? How can we uphold a commitment to be radically inclusive? What does this mean for non-women gender identities? How can our allies support us? **** This is a conversation that is important to start now, but will certainly continue onto the playa. The rest of our conference calls will probably be more detail/planning oriented, so I'd like to have this in our minds as we move forward.

* Commitees!
- Let's get the ball rolling! Start thinking about how you'd like to help! Do you like to throw parties? Have a knack for decorating? Like to build stuff? Do you make fabulous cocktails? We're going to create committees and figure out how to make all our fabulous playa dreams happen.

* Shade Structure
- Now's the time to get busy on research, materials, and cost analysis.

* Fundraising
- Share your ideas, make it happen. We need cash for shade structures/dome decor/sundries. How can you help?

* Open forum for needs, requests, ideas.

Orgasmateria needs a few good queers!

snappingturtle — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 00:58:41 GMT

message from tinker bill
I'm Tinker Bill, head of the Orgasmateria Pleasure Lab themecamp. Last year, one of our most popular workshops was the debut of "Queer Tips for Straight Lips," essentially oral sex lessons for straights by the ultimate experts.

It was a huge success, but our instructor from last year isn't going to make it to the playa this year, so I'm trying to find a new one.
Help the Orgasmateria Pleasure Lab reprise its wildly successful 2007 workshop "Queer Tips for Straight Lips" -- oral sex lessons from the ultimate experts!

Last year's instructor can't make it to BM08, so we need to find a new teacher. Are you particularly proud of your technique? Want to show off your pole-smoking prowess for awestruck straights eager for your expertise?

If you're interested in teaching the very important class at the Orgasmateria this year, please contact:
orgasmateria@nyc.com ASAP so we can work out the details.

For more info on the Orgasmateria Pleasure Lab and out other workshops and activities, check out the Orgasmateria tribe at:

IDA FUNDRAISER
Tingel Tangel Pre-Party

Featuring special appearances by:
Taylor Mac
Annie Danger
Gage
Elan

And announcing DJ Texxx of SMS

Bubble Lounge, 714 Montgomery St. (btw Jackson & Washington)
Wednesday 6/25 7p-9p

Admission is $10 toward the Ida land fund. Further donations gladly accepted and passed along to Ida.

YO YO YO! calling out to all:

friends of queer music!
friends of the revolution!
friends of the earth!
friends of ida!

The wonderful and epic Idyll Dandy Acres (a.k.a. IDA) is a revolutionary transgender land commune in rural Tennessee. For 20 years, IDA's played an important role in keeping our movement vital with its support for activists, travelers and musicians. Their biggest bash the annual Idapalooza Fruit Jam has incubated some truly amazing queer art and music too.

But there is trouble in IDA-land. Our friends have been renters for many years and the land they live on is now for sale. This 250 acre parcel of wooded and quiet land is on the market, and Ida has to raise a whole bunch of $$ to buy the land from the original owners ... or face eviction. The toss. Out in the cold. Sadness.

So the call goes out to all friends of IDA to come down and help raise the money these cats need to keep doing their thing. We'll be enjoying the comfort and spaciousness of downtown's Bubble Lounge. Four incredibly zany, talented queer performers will delight and entertain you. And your cover price includes admission to Tingel Tangel, Earl Dax's late night review featuring a whole spectrum of other performers from both coasts.

Soooo please forward this to all yr friends and bring 1, 2, or 3 more people to contribute to and have a fabulous time.

Here's some links in case ya have more questions:

See you there! xoxo

Camp Beaverton- Our first Beaver Call of the season!

Allison — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 22:36:17 GMT

Greetings, Beavers and friends!

Last year was Camp Beaverton's inaugural Burn. It was wildly successful and this year we'd like to see it grow and thrive. Camp Beaverton is the playa's home for queer women and allies. If you'd like to learn more about last year's burn, check out our tribe. If you'd like to participate in THIS year's burn, read on!

I'm Allison- the orange-haired Camp Counselor from last year's burn. I'll be helping organize our pre-playa planning this year, starting with our Beaver Calls. If you haven't been checking in on Tribe.net lately, now is the time to do so. We've already started some lively discussions about our presence on the playa, our intentions for this year's burn, and semantics about fundraising and shade structures. Your opinions are invaluable, so please pop on over to http://tribes.tribe.net/campbeaverton to get in on the action. As soon as Tribe gets with the program, I'll be taking over as moderator for the tribe. In the meantime, feel free to continue to contact last year's moderator Reid or me on the site. Or you can email me directly at this addy.

Our first organizational call will be happening on Wednesday, June 18th at 6pm Pacific Time/ 9pm Eastern Time.

You and anyone who may be interested in being involved with Camp Beaverton is invited to attend. Please RSVP on the Tribe (http://tribes.tribe.net/campbeaverton).

Call Date: Wednesday, June 18th
Conference Start Time: 9:00 PM New York time / 6:00 PM Los Angeles time
Dial-in Number to call: 1-309-946-5100
Participant Access Code: 81567# (hit pound after entering in the access code)

QUESTIONS? Leave me a Tribe message, or an email me at allison.moon@gmail.com

On the agenda for this call:

1. A brief history of Camp Beaverton and what we'd like to create for this year's burn
2. The role of Camp Beaverton within our parent camp of FreedomCommunity (http://tribes.tribe.net/freedomcommunityburns)
3. The Beaver Den and additional shade structures.
4. Fundraising
5. Events and activities.
6. Leadership positions and ways to get involved
7. Questions

This is the first in a series of calls to help manifest powerfully and playfully our queer oasis in Black Rock City this year.
Last year's burn and inaugural year for Camp Beaverton blew my panties off (if I had been wearing panties, that is). I would love to see us inspire even more playful, queer, totally rad energy this year. Please come be a part of it! And please FWD this to your friends who might be interested in what we're up to!
Looking forward to speaking with you all on the 18th...

Dusty tails,
~Allison

what where, when

snappingturtle — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 06:04:34 GMT

it's time to start sending things into the org for inclusion in the what, where, when

more info:

WHAT?, WHERE?, WHEN? SUBMISSIONS

Q: Why where the locations for events not included in the 2007 What?,
Where?, When? guide?
A: There was a mistake in the guide for the 2007 event and the
locations and times of things were difficult to discern. We recognize
the issue and will have it resolved for 2008.

Want Black Rock City to know about your wonderful parties, events and
happenings? Get it into the What?Where?When booklet today! Just go to
our on-line calendar, click on "Playa Events Calendar" and add your
blurb on your day:

http://www.burningman.com/calendar/

DO NOT wait until you get your placement information. That won't be
until early August. We will add your playa-address later, after we
have finished mapping.

Contacting Stiffy Lube?

terryg — Wed, 28 May 2008 18:33:13 GMT

Hey folks,

the deadline to register a theme camp is this friday. And, as of yesterday, BMORG said it hadn't received a submission for Stiffy Lube. Dave Marr said he passed the torch and, as far as he knows, someone is planning on raising a Lube tent on the playa this year.

I'm trying to find out who's wearing the tiara, and remind them that they need to register by Friday. Anyone suggestions?

LiB: Paging All Queers to the Broccoli Patch!

starsonesp — Wed, 21 May 2008 02:28:21 GMT

All righty, so after some discussion via e-mail and on the LiB Tribe, I'm making a decision: Let's convene in the BROCCOLI patch!

As my buddy XS notes, "It's fairly central. Close to showers. Alcohol. Portas. The Treehouse stage is close. The Woogle isn't far. It's a smaller expanse for friends to have to scour to find us. But still fairly close to all the other stuff that it's not a far hike to anywhere else."

We'll start in the Northeast corner at the intersection of (appropriately) Banana and Passion and flow outward from there. XS will have his black truck parked outward with the letters "XS" in the windshield. I'll be wearing my Glowfur at night and will have a big glowy tent to boot.

And, of course, GLITCH MOB is gonna be at the Treehouse on Saturday night, so that's a big hell yeah from me.

Let's do it!

Queer Camps

jarjar — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 20:21:12 GMT

howdy. my bother and i (both of us are queer) are looking for a queer camp to camp with this year. I have been going to BM since 2000, and have always camped with straight friends. i got my brother to start going 2 years ago, and he has camped with me and my straight friends. this year, we have decided to try and find a queer camp to become involved with. we both work with DMV, myself since 2002 and this will be Franki's third year with DMV. we are both self sustaining, and we have all of our own gear, including a hot water shower. we used to host a vinegar foot bath every morning and would like to continue that tradition. all in all we would be a good addition to most camps, as we are both low maintenace, and generally drama free. thanks.

Can 45,000 people journey vast distances to a lifeless Nevada desert and participate in an environmentally sustainable festival devoted to burning stuff? As strange as it sounds, during the last week of August 2007, the annual hedonistic celebration Burning Man attempted to do just that: go 'green.'

What has Burning Man done to merit its theme, The Green Man? Is Burning Man making serious efforts to green itself, or is it all a front, a form of greenwashing? How will the Burning Man experience affect burners, and will they bring it home into their lives? What does the Green Man art theme say about the state of civilization and its trajectory? It was in search of answers to these questions and others unimagined that the author trekked to the playa this year.

A certain segment of the Burning Man community has long made respect for the environment a high priority. For years, event organizers have promoted a "leave no trace" ethic and encouraged all participants to scour campsites down to the tiniest scraps.

The under-appreciated Earth Guardians work year-round to keep the playa clean and tidy, and ensure that "burn scars" don't deface the desert. Burners Without Borders, a group of volunteers vowing to "bring it home," journeyed to the Hurricane Katrina destruction zone in 2005 to provide an estimated one million dollars worth of free home demolitions to help property owners clear away wreckage from the disaster. Last year, the same group salvaged six semi trucks full of reclaimed wood from the festival and donated it to Habitat for Humanity. (This year, a Burning Man spokesperson says it was even more).

But in the past few years, participants have demanded a much higher level of environmental responsibility. Just keeping the desert free from "MOOP" (matter out of place) was not enough.

According to Kachina Katrina Zavalney, volunteer coordinator for Burning Man's Green Team, at last year's burn, "I was walking around feeling unhappy -- not like I had a chip on my shoulder, but more like, 'Gosh, people think this place is so progressive, but yet it smells so bad from all the generators, it's so loud, there's not a lot that people can say about the environmental efforts or what's being done out here."

An alliance of like-minded volunteers converged around the Green Theme for 2007. The task was daunting.

"The idea of building a sustainable, temporary city in the middle of nowhere on its face is preposterous. There's no frame against which our work here can be compared except ourselves?because no one else does what we do. Given that, I think what we've been able to accomplish is extraordinary," said Tom Price, environmental manager for the Green Man theme.

Nobel peace laureate Al Gore, whose cable network Current TV was onsite to document the event, expressed optimism about the playa's green prospects.

"I think it's just great that the people of Black Rock City have made the Green Man this year's theme for Burning Man, and I hope that folks will use TV Free Burning Man as a platform to spread that great message even further," said the former vice president.

"Because we build the city from the ground up we're able to look at everything and change whatever we want to on a dime. So, we've looked at transportation, solid waste, materials, energy, art, media, everything, all aspects of the event," Price added.

Analyzing the environmental sustainability of a city of more than 45,000 people is a monumental task. Given space constraints, we'll examine a few elements: electricity, water, fuel, carbon, education, and the future.

Electrifying the Playa

This year, Burning Man LLC ("the LLC") worked with a team of Berkeley engineers from The Shipyard to install a 30-kilowatt solar photovoltaic (PV) array in the shape of the Native, sacred Zia Sun symbol. The array powered the pedestal underneath the iconic man statue and the surrounding Green Pavilion. (Such an array could power approximately 10 to 20 San Francisco homes). Batteries stored extra energy during the day so the man could glow green all night.

The array came in handy when the man burned unexpectedly early during the Tuesday lunar eclipse: the array powered the tools needed to rebuild the man.

In the spirit of Burning Man's "gift economy" -- where playa-goers are encouraged to give without expectation of return -- a wealthy burner named Matt Cheney, who runs a green-technology venture capital firm, fronted the funds necessary to help the LLC gift the array to the city of Gerlach, Nev., to power a school. By November, the LLC plans to donate 120 kilowatts worth of solar arrays to Gerlach and 60 KW to Lovelock.

Cheney only has to front the money for the panels; most of the cost will be refunded by the state of Nevada, which offers sizable incentives for solar PV (nearly double California's). Burners Without Borders signed up to provide the necessary labor to install the array.

Several theme camps also deployed solar PV, such as the Snow Koan Solar Camp which offered refreshing snow cones to burners as well as free electricity.

William Korthof, a solar installer for Snow Koan, recognized that solar PV is out of reach for most theme camps, because few if any companies rent solar arrays. "The panels are expensive and the best way to make them cheaper is to keep them in permanent use," said Korthof.

Of course, while the solar arrays might generate clean power on the playa and relieve noise pollution, they'll never make up for the expenditure of fossil fuels required to transport them to the desert.

Phil "Peef" Sadow, a Berkeley engineer who helped to install the LLC's solar array, observed that the festival has made strides but still has a long way to go.

"Center Camp [which is run by the LLC] uses old, incandescent lights ... and a lot of the lights use 500 watts a pop. It's not very efficient. They are slowly investing in better lighting technologies. It's expensive and it takes time," said Peef.

Aliza Wasserman, founder of Green Guerillas Against Greenwash, was disappointed to observe few electric vehicles on the playa. She places blame back in the real world at the doorstep of a San Ramon, Calif. oil company.

"Chevron bought the patent for a new type of battery for electric cars and shut down the battery company and did not allow the patents to be used by anyone because it was a huge threat to oil profits," said Wasserman.

Indeed, while electricity has been stymied in the auto sector, a new source of transportation power is gathering momentum at home and on the playa: biofuels.

Fueling Ecocide ...

While burner activists may agree that fossil fuel extraction and consumption is destructive and unsustainable, nothing like a broad agreement yet exists in the burner community on what should replace fossil fuels. Some see biofuels as a next step.

About 85 percent of the LLC's generators were powered by biodiesel this year. According to Price, "We took [out] 11,000 gallons [of petroleum] that were coming from human rights hotspots like Saudi Arabia and Nigeria and instead we're running it off french fry juice from Reno -- thanks, Reno!"

While most environmentalists have no objection to reclaimed veggie oil, large-scale biofuel cultivation is controversial due to evidence of deforestation, species loss, and human rights violations caused by large biofuel plantations, as well as their reliance on genetic engineering.

Prof. Ignacio Chapela, one of U.C .Berkeley's most outspoken critics of biofuels, objected to the LLC's promotion of the term.

"Even the use of the term biofuels has enormous propaganda value for the movement toward biofuels ... They're playing with fire -- propaganda fire -- which is the worst kind of fire you can have around art," said Chapela.

The Sustainable Living Road Show encampment proudly proclaimed that its busses run on biofuels. Its members disagree with the notion that such language helps the biofuels industry.

"As we're promoting biofuels, we're talking about ethical, sustainable biofuels, because not all biofuels are ethical or sustainable," said Road Show member Jonathan Youtt of San Francisco.

...or Fueling Hope?

Two experimental biofuel technologies were rolled out at Black Rock City: algae bioreactors and gasification. While neither played a role in greening the event, they served as previews of what the future might (or might not) hold.

Situated underneath the Green Pavilion, the Chlorophyll Collective displayed a truck-size "bioreactor" with algae in plastic tubes furiously munching away on carbon dioxide emissions from a generator. A sign characterized the technology as "The Single-Cell Solution for Global Warming: greenhouse-gas eating algae."

According to Bayview resident Meg "Algae Girl" Bracken, director of the Chlorophyll Collective, "Algae can solve many of the problems of our industrial society. They can produce much more food, fertilizer, and/or biofuels per acre than any other crop, and they can be grown on wastewater or salt water, on marginal land, or even on the surface of bodies of water. Algae can clean water and air, and build soil. Many algae are packed full of vitamins, minerals, and other key nutrients (such as omega-3 fatty acids) and make excellent additions to the diets of people and animals."

Bracken believes that if certain cost and technical barriers can be surmounted, algae has the potential to be a much more efficient source of biofuel than any other. "The amount of oil that we can harvest from algae is already much, much higher than the amount we can harvest from traditional oilseeds," she remarked.

Bracken asserted that algae ethanol would potentially be a non-emitting, "closed loop" system: "The high amounts of CO2 produced in the process of fermenting alcohol or ethanol can be fed directly to algae which then grows profusely and can be harvested to make ethanol." She promoted algae as a potential salve to global greenhouse gas emissions.

But U.C. Berkeley Professor of Geoengineering Tad Patzek characterized the Chlorophyll Collective's ambitions as wholly unrealistic. "Algae indeed are very useful at cleaning up sewage streams and can be converted into fertilizer, but that's on a relatively small scale and has very little to do with saving the planet from global CO2 emissions. In order to absorb the emissions of a coal-fired power plant, you'd have to put a million of these bioreactors side-by-side. It's simply not scalable."

"People are ready to believe anything. Their deep wishful thinking has been confronted by reality in the case of corn and palm oil biofuels. People automatically reach for the next imaginary solution, and since algae hasn't been thoroughly tested yet, it's the next candidate," added Patzek.

Can Garbage Save the World?

Gasification was the next entrant into Black Rock City's green science fair. Jim Mason, owner of Berkeley's The Shipyard art studio, showcased an art vehicle known as The Mechabolic, a "trash-to-fuel land speed racer slug." The stupendous creaky machine was overflowing with gadgetry, a green-tech geek's wet dream.

Powering Mechabolic is a technology that's as old as human societies: gasification. Gasification is a process by which organic material is smoldered in a low-oxygen, high-temperature environment. In the case of Mechabolic, the resultant hydrogen is used to directly power an unmodified internal combustion engine. What's left at the end is a clump of carbon that can be plowed into the ground as a potent fertilizer. Tom Price says that pre-Columbian Indians used to cut down organic matter in the Amazon basin, gasify it into ash, and fertilize the soil.

Thus, with gasification, a vehicle can run on almost any organic material, such as walnut shells or coffee grounds. Price sees gasification as the world's best hope to stop global warming and envisions a future when humans strip-mine landfills for fuel. Mason has made all of his gasification tinkering available to the world for free -- open source -- which befuddles the investment community.

According to Price, "In May, we took [San Francisco mayoral candidate Chicken John Rinaldi's gasified truck] to the Clean Tech conference in San José - hundreds and hundreds of V.C.s and C.T.O.s and all their multi-million dollar projects. And we pull up out front and Chicken stands in the back in a jumpsuit that says 'Café Racer Crew' on it and he's like, 'We're making open source, carbon-negative renewable energy running on garbage in your parking lot, and we did it with junk we found in our shop in two days. What have you guys got?' And they went crazy, and they kept asking him, 'What's your business model, what's your business model?' He said, 'It's not a business model it's art.' And they're like, 'What's the point of the art?' And he said, 'What's the point of politics? Politics is to divide people. What's the point of art? Art is to bring people together. You and I, we've been brought together by this art. Congratulations, I win, thank you, next customer.'"

On the playa, Mechabolic offered burners the unique opportunity to shove waste into a tank and watch, see, and learn how this both powered the machine and produced a potent fertilizer.

Mason reflected on his experience with Mechabolic: "I demonstrated how to make a carbon-negative flamethrower by combining a trash-to-fuel gasification system with charcoal-based agriculture. Yes, it is odd, but there is a way to 'burn things' that is better for the total carbon cycle than to do nothing. Whether this is meaningful or not has nothing to do the absolute carbon count of the project on the playa, of course."

Patzek is as skeptical about the future of gasification as he is about algae. "If we are running a car on a little bit of biomass to do the absolute minimum amount of driving, I'm all for it. Otherwise, it's another symptom of not understanding the scale involved." Patzek believes that the U.S. and world must radically reduce energy consumption and move toward zero-waste communities that live in harmony with nature's cycles. He says the truly green way for burners to get to the playa is not gasified cars, but cycling.

Chicken John, on the other hand, thinks gasification is the medicine for the Earth's woes. Virgin founder and billionaire Richard Branson has offered a $25 million reward to anyone who can devise a scheme to remove a billion tons of CO2 annually from the atmosphere. Chicken says Branson owes Mechabolic creator Jim Mason a call. "Where's Mason's $25 million, bitch?" Chicken cackled.

Whether algae or gasification plays any substantial future role in saving the planet - or greening Black Rock City - remains to be seen.

Drowning in a Sea of Plastic

On the parched playa, water is perhaps the scarcest and most crucial resource. Every year, several hundred burners collapse from dehydration and end up in medics' tents on IV drips. "Drink before you're thirsty" is the official survival guide's most prominent guideline for intrepid burners.

Every year, burners haul hundreds of thousands of plastic water bottles to the playa -- everyone is responsible for his or her own hydration. However, is this particular manifestation of "radical self-reliance" (a stated core tenet of the event) compatible with Burning Man's efforts to go green?

Not according to the Green Pavilion's own commentary on the threat of plastic waste. An installation entitled "How does our use of plastic water bottles contribute to the decline of the albatross?" proclaimed the threat to avian life posed by the ubiquitous bottles that all too often blow or wash into oceans from urban areas. Plastic debris has created a floating garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean that's twice the size of Texas.

In a recent San Francisco Chronicle op-ed, Jared Blumenfeld of the City's Department of the Environment and Susan Leal of the Public Utilities Commission articulated numerous critiques of water bottles: they can leach toxins into the water, are transported from all over the world (using enormous amounts of fossil fuels), and often contain water that's of lower quality than municipal water sources. Plastic recycling is inefficient and polluting at best, and one billion bottles end up in California landfill every year. Ironically, plastic bottles leak toxins into the groundwater, harming the public water supply.

Can anything be done to green Burning Man's water consumption?

Burner Matthew "Hitch" McDermid of San Francisco believes so. He proposes that large theme camps could band together to purchase 500 or 1000-gallon containers and truck in fresh water from springs and aquifers in Lake Tahoe area or similar sources. Alternatively, he thinks that the LLC could build the cost into ticket prices and fully centralize water distribution. After all, the LLC already takes collective responsibility for ice sales, coffee sales, and excrement disposal on the playa via the Johnny-on-the-Spot latrines.

"Campers would only need one reusable water bottle...instead of disposing of upwards of 20 or 30 water bottles at the end of the burn," said Hitch.

Price thinks Hitch's proposal would take Burning Man too far away from the ethos of self-reliance. "We could electrify the entire city, provide water, hand out blinky lights at the gate, we could do everything for people - have stacks of costumes and so forth. What does someone learn by doing that? Do you want to give them fish or teach them to fish?" Price asked rhetorically.

Hitch believes Burning Man needs to evolve from its current emphasis on individual self-reliance to an increased ethos of community self-reliance. "If there were a cultural shift in that direction, we could decrease our ecological footprint every year when we throw the event and increase awareness for people to live in a greener way throughout the year."

"What I'd like to see is a re-emergence of community: community that would create efficiencies in transportation, in food distribution, in the consumption of water, and other things that are going to reduce the impact on the environment, and would support the individual on a number of levels they need from an emotional, cultural, and spiritual standpoint," added Hitch.

Price didn't see it that way, at least as far as water bottles are concerned. He talked up Burning Man's efforts to persuade area supermarkets to stock large-size water bottles as opposed to the smaller single-serve sizes, and notes that burners who want to could bring their own large, refillable water drums as Price himself has done. "It's not our job to be nannies or babysitters... I don't accept the premise that people can't be responsible for themselves," said Price.

Offsetting Apocalypse?

Global warming is front and center of any environmental discussion these days. So what is an effective way for burners to tackle their contribution to global warming? The Cooling Man project is an independent effort initiated by environmental scientists and economists David Shearer and Jeff Cole of San Francisco to persuade burners to purchase "carbon offsets" to cancel out their playa-related greenhouse gas emissions. As many frequent flyers know, carbon offsets are offered by various companies as a way to make up for the global warming-related impact of personal transportation and other activities.

For instance, Native Energy offers to offset the two tons of carbon that a traveler emits by flying round-trip from New York to Reno (the closest major airport to Black Rock City) for $36. The purchaser has the option to channel the funds into projects such as a wind turbine farm on Sioux land in South Dakota, or a rural Pennsylvania family farm methane-capture system that will generate electricity from manure.

"The opportunity is to be strategic and fact-based in how you use the offsets. ... If every burner invested in .7 tons of carbon offsets, we'd be the first carbon-neutral city on the planet. If every burner invested in one ton, we'd be carbon negative," Shearer claimed. Cooling Man reports that it helped to offset 780 out of the 33,250 estimated tons of greenhouse gas emissions generated by Burning Man 2007.

But even if Cooling Man could build the offset fee into ticket prices next year as Shearer hopes, are carbon offsets a legitimate way to stop global warming? According to Guardian UK columnist George Monbiot (author of Heat: How to Stop the Planet from Burning), no way.

Take, for instance, airplane travel: every year, over 6,000 burners fly across the country and the world to attend the event, billowing out tons of greenhouse gases. Monbiot reports that airplane travel is the single most offensive and unredeemable sector of the economy.

Unlike automobiles, there isn't even a glimmer of a green techno-fix: as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated, "There would not appear to be any practical alternatives to kerosene-based fuels for commercial jet aircraft for the next several decades." The only apparent option would be to switch from jets to Zeppelins (hot air balloon ships).

Thus, according to Monbiot, to achieve the necessary 90% emission cut to stop runaway global warming we must both build wind turbines and stop flying. To do only one and not the other is to consign future generations (and perhaps ourselves) to a future that will make Katrina look like a minor weather event.

"Ultimately what it's going to take is not waiting for the will of the people, but legislating what the people will and must do," said Colette "Happy" Divine on the question of airplane travel. "Slavery is a perfect example: was everybody on board with getting rid of slavery? Absolutely not!"

Monbiot argues that the danger of carbon offsets is that they could serve as a modern "indulgence," invoking the 15th-century church scams wherein priests sold a clean conscience to sinning parishioners for a few ducats.

Revealingly, playa life imitated metaphor at the Green Man Pavilion's F.I.R.E. (Future Impact Reduction and Education) nexus. Established by students, alumni, and faculty of Dominican University's Green M.B.A. program, the learning center prominently featured an "Eco-confessional booth" which implored burners to "confess your eco-signs and be forgiven."

The author of this story stepped behind the curtain and begged faux-Father John Stayton of Dominican to forgive sins such as flying halfway around the globe for a brother's wedding in South Africa, and collecting unlimited numbers of toys. The Father's prescriptions generally focused on taking positive steps in other areas of life, but balked at challenging the idea of runaway consumption.

"It's a playful way of helping people to recognize that a lot of us who've had our awareness raised then carry around a sense of guilt of our own impacts. We want people to become aware of their ecological impacts and process those feelings - but do it in a lighthearted way," said Stayton.

Monbiot's calculations postulate that if we are to achieve the necessary 90 percent cut, every person on the planet must be allocated a greenhouse gas emissions budget of 1.33 tons annually. According to Cooling Man's estimates, the average burner emits .64 tons of greenhouse gas emissions traveling to and from and participating in the event. Thus, Burning Man participants blow nearly six months' worth of emissions in one week. (As a frame of reference, one cross-country round trip flight more than exceeds the entire budget.)

"Any scheme that persuades us we can carry on polluting delays the point at which we grasp the nettle of climate change and accept that our lives have to change," says Monbiot - a commentary as applicable to Black Rock City as any city.

Green Living 101?

Much could be said about how the LLC and many theme camps made valiant efforts to bring other environmentally conscious practices to the playa: solar cooking, solar hot water, wind turbines, greywater systems, composting, recycling, and a community bicycle program. However, these initiatives appeared to be confined to certain corners of Black Rock City; for most burners, it was (wasteful) playa-life-as-usual. Many burners said that the green theme made little to no impact on their experience.

In truth, Burning Man is not and (for the foreseeable future) cannot be green: percent of the event's reported ecological footprint is due to the enormous fossil fuel expenditure required to transport 45,000 people to a far-flung region that is not convenient to public transportation.

Even the man himself -- though he glowed green at night -- was less than environmentally friendly. Tom Price states that despite vigorous efforts, the LLC was unable to obtain an effective green neon glow material that did not contain mercury, a toxin with a reputation for inducing brain damage. (Price says that the amount was small enough not to pose a hazard.) Ironically, blue would have been a greener choice.

Most burners I spoke with -- including Burning Man founder Larry Harvey -- argued that the real value in the green effort was not in how it altered life on the playa, but how it might educate and influence people to change their lives and take action back home. Harvey conceived the theme as an exploration of "humanity's relationship to nature." One burner I met at Camp Hook-up's green building workshop said his boss had paid for his Burning Man ticket in order for him to learn how to make a resort chain in Arizona more environmentally sustainable. Solar PV engineer Peef reported several inquiries on how to install solar panels back home.

The Green Pavilion was closed for more than half the festival due to the premature immolation and Burning Man's prioritization of rebuilding the man. When the pavilion was accessible, kiosks and art displays offered a variety of educational resources: from descriptions of environmental crises, such as the unsustainable harvesting of hardwoods, to proposed solutions such as kite-powered cargo ships.

"This has been an opportunity to have a public conversation. More people are talking about this issue than I've ever heard before, and that might even offset [Burning Man's] impact," said LLC spokesperson Andie Grace. "I don't think we're in such dire circumstances that art has become irrelevant."

Mechabolic creator Jim Mason reflected on the Green Theme, "I find trying to run a green experiment in the midst of the most highly consumptive collection of creators to be a rich contradiction. Green gestures are so often tinged with ludditism, human loathing, and general defeatism. It is usually a narrative of 'do less, be less.' What happens if the people who are about 'do more, be more,' with a major theme of burning things, want to also be green? That's a mess. It's much more truthful to our situation. Thus why the theme was so rich."

Life After Burning Man

Other long-time burners say they've had it up to here with Burning Man. Kachina Katrina commented after the burn, "I saw a lot of participants not contributing to the whole green movement. I don't think that there was a lot of care and consideration given by the organization."

Kachina Katrina believed the LLC could have done a lot more, despite inherent limitations. "We all know it's not an event that can be 100 percent greened, but judging by the participants' take on it, it's got a long way to go."

Price was taken aback by Kachina Katrina's criticisms. "There were four full-time employees -- 15 percent of the total Burning Man staff -- working on [greening the burn]. Of course there's more that can be done, but I think we did substantive, far-reaching work."

For Kachina Katrina and other disaffected burners, it's off to ... well ... greener pastures. "Some friends and fellow colleagues in the greening Burning Man movement are starting a new festival called Water Woman -- where they'll take all of these ideas and values we proposed to green Burning Man and incorporate them into a festival-like atmosphere. This isn't the only festival that is going to be more ecological -- others such as Future Now, Entheon Villagers, and Symbiosis are creating eco-gatherings."

Kachina Katrina is pleased to have experienced some new eco-practices this year on the playa - she's planning to bring her updated greywater know-how to the kitchen at Symbiosis.

Water Woman founder and creator Ray Cirino, a twelve-time burner, talks about how different his baby will be from life on the playa. "Instead of building a city and tearing it down or destroying it, we're going to keep the city. Burning Man says leave no trace -- every single drop of 'trace' we're going to be recycling or composting."

Cirino says the festival will be goddess-focused, "very yin oriented as opposed to the yang energy of Burning Man. And the primary goal is for people to be self-reliant with sustainable practices, particularly permaculture. Permaculture is our base, our core. Water Woman will set up Burning Man in a beautiful way - ours will be in spring, for growth, before the fall and the burning. We'll be building a food forest as well." Cirino reports that he's been flooded with volunteers and he hopes to hold the festival in Northern California as soon as late spring 2008, after Memorial Day.

Cirino says the Water Woman city will include a cultural and learning center, and be built on a depressed property that needs help. Cirino is especially looking for indigenous land and to resuscitate a watershed.

"People's ticket money will be an investment in their education, and also, they'll be able to come back during the course of the year to learn as much as they can," said Cirino. The festival will encourage children and family participation, will be promoted as totally substance-free, and all music will be unplugged. He hopes that after a five-year cycle, Water Woman will move to resuscitate other ecologically distressed properties.

Kachina Katrina, who recently moved into an eco-focused co-operative community in Oakland, concludes, "I think Burning Man is such a huge distraction to people in their lives, it's an enormously wasteful party. I'm so thrilled to be back to my life - no more Burning Man. It's time to think about what's really going on on this planet. Bring it back home, to your home."

At its core, Burning Man remains an event conducted largely without reference to the sustainable capacities of Mother Earth. Of course, the same could be said of Western Civilization.

Will Burning Man be remembered as one of the U.S. Empire's more profligate vomitoria, or as a transformative, radical community experience where the roots of an ecologically vibrant world improbably grew amidst the wreckage of modernity? If we are blessed, it will be both.

Saw some hotties at portland's Decompression but not as much as I would have liked. where are all the queer burners in the pacific north west hanging out?

who's going Seacompression?

http://www.ignitionnw.org/seacompression/

eaCompressionSix: Unicorns and Rainbows!!! is shaping up to be the biggest and bestest EVAR! Come decompress from the great dust storms of '07 with over 25,000 square feet of performance, fire, music, and art! We expect major theme installations from Flight 2 Mars, Black Rock City Animal Control, Dead Letter Camp, just to name a few; dozen of DJs and live musicians on three sound stages; an expanded art gallery; chill spaces galore; a video festival; and more!

NO WILL CALL
Only TICKETS and CASH this year. There is no list and you are not on it. Tickets are at the same LOW price as last year: just $15 ($20 if you wait and buy at the door). Online ticket sales end Tuesday Nov 6th at midnight!

PLEASE PAY $5 TO FUND A VOLUNTEER
It takes hundreds of people to create SeaCompression. Many of our artists, performers, and volunteers expect - and deserve - to be comped. Unfortunately, comps cost money - not just in lost revenue, but in taxes paid for every person at the event, whether they buy a ticket or not. We love our volunteers and value their time, and we'd love to comp every one, but we have to encourage them to pay for themselves. In order to spread the love, we encourage YOU to pay an extra $5 for one of THEM: to show your appreciation, to help the event, or just to assuage your guilty conscience! (We're not proud, we'll take your charity.)

And if you'd like to volunteer yourself, email seacomp.volunteer@gmail.com (though we'd still love it if you bought a ticket).

FOOD DRIVE
Bring your dusty (but sealed), leftover playa food. We'll be collecting food donations to feed homeless kids attending Seattle's Summit K12 school. Seriously, yo. More info here:

SF : Gay Halloween in the Castro : TOMORROW

AgentMojo — Fri, 26 Oct 2007 18:32:58 GMT

So it's been a while since I've been on tribe and with the disastrous gay bashing in the Castro last year, there will be no official celebration this year.

But in year's past, Gay Halloween has been going on the weekend before Halloween. So i'm thinking this year it's going to be on again for the Gay Friendly Folk only ;-)

Whose coming out tomorrow night?

About the recent incident at Comfort & Joy

kittensf — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 05:44:18 GMT

On the morning of Thursday, August 30th a young man from Colorado chose to end his life in the rafters of a public tent at the Comfort & Joy’s Burning Man theme camp.

Though he was unknown to us, in the wake of his passing we’re learning from those who knew him that he was creative, kind, unconventional and smart, and that he was regarded with affection by many.

His final act, committed in solitude, has one lasting effect as it brings us together to mark his passing. To all who have offered our camp their sympathy and support during this time, thank you. To all who knew him, please accept our sincere condolences.

It is estimated that there was an one hour interval between the last visit to the tent by a camp member, and the discovery of the body by a second camp member. It is believed that the tent was unoccupied during this time, and that there were no witnesses to the suicide.

One other individual, not associated in any way with the camp, was in the tent at the time the body was discovered. Emergency personnel were immediately contacted by camp members. Authorities responded within minutes and closed the scene upon arrival.

The Black Rock City Rangers, Sheriffs and other law enforcement officials who assisted us with this incident were very professional, supportive, and helpful to us at a difficult time. We are grateful for their services. We are also thankful for the warm and organized support we have received from the grief counselors from the Black Rock City Mental Health Team. They helped us openly discuss what had happened and come to a shared understanding of the morning’s events.

Much of our camp was quarantined while the coroners did their jobs and we canceled that day’s events (a yoga class, a queer discussion group, glitter body painting and a watercolor painting workshop).

As a camp, we decided to make a contribution to David Best’s Temple of Forgiveness, where people can mourn, remember, write messages and leave items to be ceremonially burned on Sunday night. We felt the rope the young man used represented the terrible violence he committed upon himself and the people around him. By sending the rope up in flames, we hoped to allow some of that pain to disperse. None of us believe that this young man wanted to trouble us with his actions.

The members of Comfort & Joy extend their deepest sympathy to all who knew this young man. Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and special people in his life. Although we will never know or understand him the way you did, he indeed touched us as well, made us grow, and hopefully become better individuals. May the rest of his journey be peaceful and lead him to the joy we all seek in our lives.

We look forward to continuing our mission of creating positive, warm and supportive queer community both in Black Rock City and the Bay Area.

With love and respect,

The Comfort & Joy Family

Miss Black Rock City 2007

stacycats — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 00:47:20 GMT

All he's, she's and ze's are welcome! :)

THE MISS BLACK ROCK CITY PROJECT: Taking beauty out of the hands of corporate America

.... is proud to announce two playa events for 2007

MISS BLACK ROCK CITY TIARA MAKING WORKSHOP
Wednesday, 3:30pm-5:30pm
Disorient (830 + esplanade)
If you are thinking of participating in the Miss Black Rock City Pageant on Thursday afternoon, or if you just want a funky tiara/headpiece/crown to match that special costume, stop by and make something super fancy from fuzzy chenille stems. Like all our events, all men and women (and any combination thereof!) are welcome – even the little misses and misters can do it! You’ll be amazed at what you can create. StacycatS of the MBRC Project will also be on hand to answer any questions about the pageant, so come say hello! Look for us at the Hut of the Glam Tech Warrior within Disorient.

MISS BLACK ROCK CITY 2007: PAGEANT OF SELF-PROCLAIMED BEAUTIES
Thursday, 5pm-6pm
Boogie Universal ARTS Collective (9 + esplanade)
Represent your village, your camp, your art, your tent, or just yourself! Participants (open to all men + women) will reveal their unique inner beauty in these three categories: 1) Style 2) Two Minute Talent Competition: No rules, everyone has a talent be it a stupid party trick or a fine art! and 3) Interview: Do they do it for world peace, the children, or for the puppies? All finalists are beautiful and everyone wins by participating. Fabulous gifts include custom handmade tiaras and the Miss Black Rock City sash. Hosted by StacycatS.

NOTE: No Beauty pageant is fair, bribes are encouraged. Participate for fun rather than play to win!

Photos of prize tiaras for this pageant can be seen at the Miss Black Rock City tribe: http://MBRC.tribe.net

Check out the Miss Black Rock City website for photos, our theme song, and info on past events. http://missblackrockcity.com

The History of AA at Black Rock City

An account by Anonymous Camp founder Ranger Dan

In 1997, there was one meeting at noon next to the Center Camp Cafe on the day of the Burn (on Sunday back then). We were the Burning Desires group and found each other that day through a small ad in the Black Rock Gazette. Twelve of us sat on straw bales in the blazing sun near a generator that was supposed to cover our voices. I'm not sure how successful that theory was as we had to raise our voices above the generator. From the shade of the Cafe, one would have seen a dozen people in a tight circle cooking in the sun and yelling "Hi Dan" in unison. It was probably obvious what was going on. We collected a list of e-mail addresses at the end of the meeting and stayed in contact through the year. From that list, Anonymous Camp made it's first appearance on the playa the next year.

Open Meeting Statement

This is an open meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous. We are glad you are here, especially newcomers. In keeping with our singleness of purpose and our Third Tradition which states "The only requirement for AA membership is a desire to stop drinking," we ask that all who participate confine their discussion to their problems as they relate to alcoholism.

Playa event on Friday: Fabulous Blessing Ritual

terryg — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 18:08:47 GMT

The "Two-Souled People Blessing" shares a Native American (Lakotan) outlook on the sacredness of sexual orientation, and shows the LGBT participants how their difference was once celebrated as a gift from the gods. Bring love, joy, and a few small gifts to share. Dress in your most FABULOUS outfit, to highlight your uniqueness.

Be prepared to leave filled with power, imbued with purpose, and stuffed chock full of love.

Friday night, at Ascension tribe @ 10PM, led by me!

Lesbian Gathering Event

Mitch — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 20:12:07 GMT

We all know that there are other lesbians on the playa, but sometimes amongst the abundance of the playa, it can be hard to find each other. Come lounge out in our sushidome and make deep connections and have some casual fun with like minded women and those that adore us. In other words, an old fashion lesbian meet and greet. Come and relax, hang out and perhaps find the start of a lesbian playa connection. Bring your own cup for tea or cocktails.
Date: Wednesday, August 29, 2007

Join us for the Booger Drag Ball

MB238 — Tue, 14 Aug 2007 04:29:28 GMT

Hello BM Queers. Please join us for our playa gift this year.

THE BOOGER DRAG BALL
www.boogerdrag.com

booger drag: (boo'-gur drag) adj. Term used in the deep South; a lazy form of drag practiced by men and women resulting in ill fitting garb, sexually confused makeovers and various other twisted results; often practiced in combination with the consumption of large amounts of alcohol.

Yes . . . it’s for men AND women, and those undecided types too. Here’s how it works –

* When you get to our dome, you’ll shed your playa clothes and we’ll stash them away.
* One of our Fashion Consultants will reach into a bag of 300+ outfits and will select a beautiful couture ensemble just for you.
* Men dress as women, women dress as men, those who have not yet decided can negotiate. You wear what you get.
* At the end of the party (if we’re sober enough to operate a zipper), we’ll help you out of your booger drag outfit and back into your playa clothes.

It’s that simple. And delicious.

www.boogerdrag.com

THE BOOGER DRAG BALL
Thursday on the Playa
4:00pm to 8:00pm

Location will be sent by email Monday morning
Look for flyers around the playa
Give me your camp location and we’ll bring by an invitation!!
Look up Booger Drag Ball on the center camp info computers

Gay Geeks in SF

David — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 02:14:20 GMT

If you live in San Francisco and you're a geek (else why would you be reading this tribe?) you might be interested in the resurrection of Gay Geeks, the Haven for Intellectuals and Visionaries.

No, Gay Geeks (the original) is not a computer group. It's a place where people can geek out on their favorite topics of conversation, be they technology, religion, philosohy, music theory, esoterica like the old Lincoln Highway, or how the Industrial Revolution created a leisure class. This is heavy stuff for heavy-duty people. But heck, where else are you gonna find similar people to chat with?

Well, we've almost got a meeting spot, away from the noise and stuff. What you need to do if interested is subscribe to the Yahoo Group mailng list and receive emails for the latest update. I expect the first gathering of Gay Geeks the Original, 2.1 will be on Saturday August 4 in SF's Mission District.

To participate, contact the Gay Geeks group:

Just a little public service announcement...

If your camp is planning any events that you want in the What Where When guide, you need to add the event to the playa calendar by July 20th (this Friday). The calendar link is on the burningman website front page, or go here:
http://playacal.burningman.com/day.php

The Queer Event Calendar will be returning again this year, and should be ready for posting in a week or so.

Joygasm Update!!!

Astronaughty — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 19:53:39 GMT

Hello Joygasmics!

I'm to happy to announce that none other than Liza Minnelli will be joining us for our boy & booze costume bacchanalia down Weho’s Santa Monica Blvd this Saturday. At Ms. Minnelli’s request, we'll be taking a brief detour to Pinkberry so Liza with a Z can beg for a toot of that secret power.

For those not in the know, here's the original post - see you there!

Announcing Astronaughty's Operation Joygasm: A Mobile Costumed Biking & Boozing Excursion Along West Hollywood's Grand Gay Bar Blvd.

Dust off your bike, trick it out with lights, throw on an eye-grabbing outfit, and prepare to bring waves of orgasmic joy to hundreds of homos just waiting for something different and exciting to perk up their Saturday night. That's right, it's Astronaughty's Operation Joygasm and I'm seeking able-bodied recruits!

THE DATE: Saturday, July 21

THE TIME: 7 PM poolside at my WeHo pod for cocktails, snacks, bike prep, changing into costumes, photos and giddy anticipation.

THE MISSION: At 8 PM I'll sound the alarm and lead the charge as our mobile costume party rolls out to the first of FIVE GAY BARS that we'll invade along Santa Monica Blvd.

THE GOAL: To illicit orgasms of joy, multiple ones if possible. Use your prodigious playa powers to conjure up ways to achieve this through creative gifting: outrageous outfits, neck rubs, card tricks, cookies, condoms, Polaroid portraits, brownies, naughty giveaways, skin jobs - the possibilities are limited only by your imagination (and a few City of West Hollywood laws, but even those are mere suggestions.)

THE ITINERARY: First stop: the legendary Gold Coast near Crescent Heights. Then we head west down Santa Monica Boulevard's dedicated bike lane to trendy O-Bar, then on to the classic hustler-and-daddy joint Numbers, continuing to the very new and very now 11 on Larabee, and ending up around 10:30 at the sprawling homo haven known as The Abbey. For you marathoners, we'll then mosey on over to either Rage or Mickey's for some dance floor booty shakin'.

ALL INTERESTED RECRUITS: send me a message and I'll send back parking information, tips, and other pertinent info.

THE BIGGER THE GROUP THE BETTER THE JOYGASM!

LOCK IN THE DATE!

JULY 21!

ASTRONAUGHTY'S OPERATION JOYGASM!

BE THERE!
