Going to Burning Man 2007? Want to camp with a bunch of other Hawaii burners at the Hawaii Regional Embassy on the playa?
Now is your chance! The Ka Pilina camp will be making it's 4th consecutive appearance on the playa. It looked like we were not going to make it this year but a few dedicated local burners would not let that happen. We are not going to be a village and the camp is downsized a bit from previous years as we are trying to take a different approach this year.
We will be relying on campers to be self-reliant, meaning there will be next to nothing that the camp will provide (mainly organizing the space and putting up flags). Each camper is expected to not only come prepared (your OWN shade, food, water, showers, evaporation ponds, etc.) but also to carry away all the garbage in the camp whether it is yours or not.
The camp
We are going for a lot 200' x 200' and we are going to cap it at 125-150 people. Mike Maung is returning with his mega-art with Lawnmower II, a 25' tall sculpture lit up with EL wire. We will have 3 "mini-themecamps" within our themecamps this year: Han's Hippie Fishing Bait and Tackle, the Hawaiian Awa Hut, and Inflatuland. We hope to be on a corner again with Mike's sculpture near the point. The 3 mini-themecamps will be across an open area (for any fire performance and the luau) in an arc facing the sculpture. The most interactive elements will get the most frontage with more private camping towards the rear. We will most likely be back from the playa as in years' past but that means we are also more likely to by near but not too close to the portapotties.
The 5th annual Friday sunset luau
We decided that after being a "soup kitchen for stoners" (like 750-1000 of them) we are going to go back to the roots of the luau which is more like a "stone soup" type of thing. We are asking for everyone who wishes to participate in the luau to bring something to share as in food and/or beverages. We want to get back to the luau being a place and time for local Hawaii burners to meet each other in a relaxing and friendly environment. We never intended the luau to be just a "big party" we throw for all Black Rock City. Everyone is welcome to attend, but we just want to be clear what the luau is about, participants contributing and people (especially kama'aina) connecting.
