Howdy campers,

This email list is about to spring to life, since we need to
figure out who can commit to being on our crew soon.

It's still unclear when the directed ticket sale is, but we want to 
be ready and not have to scramble to figure things out.

We'll have more info coming soon, but if you really want to be
on the crew, let us know.

Over and out,
Chris

p.s. If you want to be removed from the list, or know someone who should be on it thats not, let me know.

For clarification purposes, and as I'm too busy to re-type, I've pasted below some helpful hints on the definition of "crew".

In order to consider you for crew status, we’ll need you to make sure your burner profile is updated, and you’ll need to be able to be available on your computer during the sale time (Wednesday, February 4 at noon PST).  In addition, we’ll need you to commit to a minimum of three of the following activities which are essential to the operation of our bar:

* Help pack the big box truck the Friday before we leave
* Drive the Truck to and from the event (We leave Friday, August 28th and return Monday,  
  September 7th)  You’re welcome to use the truck as your private apartment if you want to be   
  our driver!
* Arrive early (by Saturday August 29th, we’ll give you an EA pass) and help to build the camp
* Help unpack and clean truck Tuesday, September 7th
* Help with a financial contribution to the camp

Why would anyone do this, you ask?  Well, that’s the most asked question of Burning Man.  Its a great feeling to help build Black Rock City!

Our camp has never set dues for our campers, and we would prefer never to have to do that. I do want everyone to understand that we spend several thousand dollars every year just in support of the public portion of our theme camp ($1080 for Storage, $1100 for big truck, $600 dollars for kegs, ongoing contribution of funds to improve and/or replace infrastructure in our public space that we provide in exchange for the placement).  Last year we collected a total of $500.00 cash (thanks Charlie!).

Many of you dedicated professionals have helped on all levels in the past, and all of you campmates participate in the running of the bar and tear down, and we appreciate each of you!

As a reminder, all campmates are expected to:

* Help pack up the bar on Saturday afternoon
* Do camp ice runs (We’ll have a schedule this year to make sure its equitable)
* Contribute some mixers/water/booze for the bar
* We’d appreciate a financial contribution but do not require it

Please let us know as soon as possible if you’d like to be considered for crew status. Thanks to all you bitches, love you!

P.S.  If you obtain a crew ticket and find yourself unable to attend or act as crew as outlined above, we’ll expect that you sell the ticket(s) back to us so that we can find someone else to fill your spot on the crew.  Mwah!

Everyone, my last post was sent in the middle of a busy work week so I may not have been super clear.   That was a reposting from last year so the dates are not current, but the crew expectations are.

Malia, we are blessed to welcome you back as crew!

xoxo!
