Soup's On!

Great news in a down year - the second UNofficial Reno Regional Burn and camp-out is now official!

Considering our Burned out economy, some may not even make it to the playa this year. Others have asked for a spring camp-out for Burners. So we're headed back to PermaBurn! And to keep it totally FREE, we're using the Stone Soup approach.

For those who didn't join us last year, PermaBurn is 640 acres of northern California being organized as permanent art installations by a Burner named Greg Glover from the east coast. In the spirit of Burning Man, Greg has gifted this volcanic caldera for the weekend with virtually no restrictions on how we wish to express ourselves.

Just like on the playa, and as in the story Stone Soup, WE get to add all the rest. Since the pre-announcement a few days ago, I've had feedback from over 40 people volunteering to put this thing together. The soup is already gaining some excellent flavor...


Club Verboten Comes to PermaBurn!

Yep. The very same tent you saw at the 4:30 plaza last year; the club known for stopping traffic and plugging up the streets of Black Rock City will be erected in the center camp area at PermaBurn Friday afternoon, June 5th.

Tim Hunter himself (aka Omar Suarez) will be spinning the music as well as providing a venue for other DJs. So far we have offers from DJ Reality of Camp Ellipsis, BabebyBay(Betsy) from the bay area and D6 from Reno. You guys need to check in with Tim (thunter885@aol.com) unless you plan to set up your own venues. Whatever your taste, we'll have some excellent music coming out of this volcano, and at least one fully enclosed club in which to enjoy it.

From Omar...

We look forward to setting up,for the first time ever outside BRC,at this years Stone Soup.Thanks to Comrade Sudden for the leadership in getting it together,Our club is known for retro techno based dance parties.Can't change formula here but hopefully we can incorporate all the dj talent we have coming.What we have in mind is a weekend program...."Evolution of Techno Beats".

Reno Poly Camp - Actually, it's the Northern Nevada Polyamory Support group, and they will hold their June meeting at Stone Soup as well as host a Saturday evening pack-it-in, pack-it-out, lick-your-plate pot-luck. They will also lead discussions on alternate lifestyles. Contact Teresa Werner with any question or contribution at... terwer42@yahoo.com

Kids Camp - Marie Gilbert will host a place for, "interactive family fun... kite's, kid's with hammers, rock stacking etc." Contact her at... amariegilbert@gmail.com

Fire Camp - Debbie McMullin has volunteered to coordinate the fire arts in an attempt to cut down on duplication of safety equipment, supplies etc. Let her know about your fire spinning plans and how you can help at... ruby_holly@yahoo.com

There is rumor of a BSDM group setting up camp, but I'll wait for an actual announcement before I say anything.

I've had responses from another 40 Burners so far who want this to happen, but have not yet clearly defined their project or contribution. There's at least one planning to spin fire, one with a chill space, one has offered to contribute money for infrastructure and one offering to set up a construction support camp. I will post details here as I get them. So link back for updates from time to time. More importantly, email me with YOUR plans so I can help you hook up with others and coordinate similar activities. Let me know if I can post your name, email and or phone number here. Plus I'll need a head count for the potty plans, so...
