bradm Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Damn. I guess it was too obvious not to have been done... How about a "Participant Placement Service"? Kind of like a job-search service, we could set up a message board, have consultants, and try to hook up camps that need participants with prospective participants that want to do stuff. We could make resumes, conduct interviews, etc. And, of course, we would occasionally send people on wild goose chases, to camps that didn't exist...

bradm Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Well, I'm talking like I am, but since it's so far off, I don't really know at this point, but I'm considering it. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 man... all these things could be tied together... we could be Camp Pot Pourri! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 A potpourri of tender leaves, with poppy mushrooms and munster cheese. About 12 years ago I got a Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes thing in the mail and they included the proposed menu for the winners dinner. The snack mentioned above was one of the salads and I found it so poetic I've never forgotten it. Whenever I hear the word potpourri it pops into my head.

AdamH Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I would think minimizing the power consumption in such a locale would be a good building block. You could build a solar cooker to roast all the vegan cocktail weiners, and set up one of the dish-type cookers for a pot of curry or something. Slow Food Expo?

bokonon Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 there is a book coming out called "this is burning man" sometime this year. i read the advance copy (the only good thing that came out of my shortlived job at kw chapters) and it really made me want to go. i would definitely like to go. what about music camp? we can wear costumes that are band related and make huge working instruments. (who cares if they sound good) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guigsy Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 i'll bring a flute for everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 Oh wow. Maybe we could have a little orchestra. I could conduct (I have some experience), and we could spend the next year collecting band charts. There is the advantage of camps being listed in the newsletters, so we could tell people to bring instruments if they wanted to join. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 I don't think guigsy was talking about that kind of flute Velvet... What about those of us that are basically musically incompetant? What would we do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually actually enjoy drum cicrles with novices much more than with more experienced players just for the rawness and the honesty... so long as people don't ego out or we'll get ya a kazoo Del Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Groove Fetish Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 an Ottawa based camp for this year- Black Rock Paper Transform unwanted paper from moop into treasure. Enjoy dipping your hands into cool water while creating something out of the dust.

paisley Posted August 25, 2004 Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 but who can spell "circles" (observe my post above) seriously though, drumming is like having a heart beat... so long as you don't think about it way to much you can do it given some time to forget yourself and get into a groove (besides the fact that Booche is intimidated by cavemen... whom he obviously figures are trying to steal his look ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
