Dear North Bay Burners,
I am sad to report that due to the flooding in the Black Rock Desert the event is cancelled this year. We just cannot guarantee your safety on a waterlogged playa, There are too many soft spots where vehicles cannot pass. So there will be no Burning Man 2017.
April fools! Kidding. There has been a lot of rain. And my feed has been full of pictures of people kayaking on the playa. But rumors of the Gerlach Regional being cancelled are false. The event is on, and if you didn’t secure a ticket yet don’t panic. There is still STEP and the OMG sale coming up. Connect with a camp or a project that needs workers. Stay hungry, tickets always come available at the end of the summer.
The Global Leadership Conference is this weekend, and it’s the first year I’ve missed since becoming a Regional Contact. It’s all good though, I’m hard at work organizing your next local event – the Cotatitarod needs you! We are having meetings each week on Wednesdays at 7pm at the Flagship Taproom in Cotati for volunteers and organizers. Come down and meet the people making it happen, we’ve been having a lot of fun planning the race. All three of your Regional Contacts are working on this event, and it’s coming together nicely.
We just need to meet our fundraising goal and we’ll be golden. Please make a donation if you can, and help us get the production costs covered so the event can break even and turn into an annual thing. Any little bit helps, please spread the word! http://bity.ly/cotatitarod2017 is the link for donations.
Read on for info on tickets, a fundraiser in SF, our very own shopping cart race based on the CHIditarod, and UnScruz regional in Santa Cruz!
Happy fools and bunnies,
xoxo RLL

Cotatitarod 2017
April 29th at LaPlaza Park in Cotati
Like to dress up and run around? How about a pub crawl to benefit the hungry people living in Sonoma County? We have the event for you! North Bay Burners brings you our local version of the CHIditarod – a shopping cart race in downtown Cotati to benefit the Redwood Empire Food Bank. Dust off your costumes, decorate your shopping cart, and join the Cotatitarod.
Register your team http://northbayburners.org/cotatitarod/racer-registration/
Get together a team of five people. Collect 60lbs of food to donate per team. Got your own shopping cart? Great. Please don’t steal them. You can beg them or borrow them, that’s fine. Can’t find a shopping cart? Borrow one (we got them from Oliver’s Market. Thanks Olivers!) and decorate the morning of the race.
What does Redwood Empire Food Bank need donated? The things on this list! http://northbayburners.org/cotatitarod/food-donation-shopping-guide/ Hungry people of Sonoma County thank you! Want to make a donation to the REFB? Go here! http://refb.org/event/cotatitarod/
Donate http://bity.ly/cotatitarod2017 it’s tax-deductible! Every bit helps. Want to volunteer? Email northbay (at) burningman (dot) org and find out more.
Part pub crawl, part costume contest, part charitable event, and all fun. Compete for prizes and glory! Trivia questions will be asked! Stupid human tricks will be performed! Be a part of the very first shopping cart race in downtown Cotati and earn your Cotatitarod bragging rights. It’s for a great cause, and it’s going to be a great day.
