This year will be my third burn. My first year, I was taken in by the wonderful folks of People United for Nothing, but last year I wound up camping alone and spending all my time at Venice Vibe Tribe (Bobby, can I have back my 7 gallon water container?). I'd like to join in with a camp this year, or perhaps create one - I think it's too late for an "official" theme camp, but maybe we can pull something together

There are two things I really want from this:
1) An established playa address before I leave. I'd like to be able to tell people where I'll be, and head straight for my spot and set up when I get there, instead of randomly driving around for two hours trying to find a good spot
2) I've heard tales of such a thing as a food plan that you can pay for in advance. Gosh, that would sure be nice - I just can't handle the infrastructure for proper food (ice, cooler, bike to transport ice, cooking, cleaning, etc), and have survived on Clif bars and tuna fish.

Stuff like good friends and a big shade structure would be massive bonuses.

Would some kind camp be willing to take me and my virgin campmate? I'm a good and well-prepared burner, largely self-sufficient, and even have a derelict jeep in a graveyard in Bakersfield that would be perfect for an art car (though perhaps it's too late for that this year). My setup is just a tent and a car, though I'm trying to talk a relative with a lovely RV into joining me.

Alternatively - and this isn't a bad idea at all - if enough of my friends respond to this blog with interest, I could take a leadership role and we could start Camp Punäliikkuva - I have a large loft downtown for pre-burn meetings, and the organizational skills to get everyone together. It could be either our own from scratch, or we could satellite as a subgroup for another camp.

Please, everyone, I've been quiet on Tribe for so long, but I know you all are out there and want to play! Where are you camping? Wanna come with me?
