Last Call for Transformus
Burning Man, Quink, Constellation
Camp Contact at Transformus July 15-18
We are going to have some solar power available for camp, and we'll have a generator as a backup! We'd love to have some people join for build and stay on Monday for strike. We are looking for an events coordinator for our offerings at Transformus!

We have been placed! Anahasana Village will be at 6:45 & Fugue, with Camp Contact & Cold Yogis holding down our frontage between 6:38--6:42. The greeter station will be at 6:43-6:47, and Decentral, Naked Heart and other camps in our village showing up at 6:47-6:52 along F street. While we do have access to E street, we expect to use E street for RV parking.
We've just sent out another invite to our campers to Slack, if you haven't joined Slack yet, please do so that we can all get in synch. There's a #rides channel, there are some geographically focused channels including for the Bay area and DC and soon-to-be others.
Water is going up from 90 cents to $1.60 a gallon pre-paid, with any additional needs costing $2.00 a gallon. We will need to implement systems to minimize leaks and extra use, lets's chat on the #water channel about what we can do, this is a hard impact on our budget.
We are getting together our plan for container transport of gear from the DC area. We are in search of an affordable purchase or rental of a 20' or 24' trailer such as for use for transporting cars, typically racing cars. One option is that we buy a new trailer and then sell it later. If you have any experience or time to search craigslist and other sites for such an item that we could buy used, or help with financing, please reach out to Darrell. We will also be using the DC Container for transport of some items, and may use it extensively if we aren't able to secure a 20' or 24' car transport trailer for the trip to Burning Man and back. If you want your burner bins delivered to you directly at Anahasana Village, please do not buy your bin space from the DC Container, buy it from Camp Contact, we'll put up a link later to make this purchase happen.
We will have a DMV camper work & fun party the weekend of July 24 & 25 in Mineral, VA. This will be a chance to get a lot of our gear together and checked out to be ready for Burning Man, including our Steam Bath! This will also be in support of our Quink Fair event happening in late September.
Load-in for the container for gear to go from the DMV to BRC is tentatively scheduled for August 13th and 14th, however, we may need your bins a week earlier. You can always leave your bins at GlowHouse before this time if you can't make these dates.
We will soon be working on our Photoboard and Workshift calendar, and we need to have easy-to-identify photos of everyone in camp for this! Thanks to Hannah and Meadow, we will have a nice Photoboard and a aew workshift scheduling system! Please go to http://burningman.campcontact.org/roster and see who's coming and see if you have a good photo of yourself. In some cases, you may need to manually rotate your photo and re-upload it.
Quink Fair 2022
We will gather on primitive land and run workshops, ecstatic dances, open mics, sharing in food, friendship, and fun for this third iteration of QuinkFair. Tickets go on sale later today!
