Share, Showcase and Strut Your Talents on the Center Camp Cafe Stages
The stages in the Center Camp Cafe are open for booking and Center
Camp Cafe has a whole new process to do so that includes bread crumbs,
new & improved forms, personal agency and awesomeness!
If you are interested in performing there, look at the below list and
send an email with (a-c) the following information to the person who
best fits your wants and desires.
a) Whether you already have your ticket to the event, because as all
of you know, we cannot schedule you until you do.
b) Whether you perform all original works? Non copyrighted, non canned
music/visuals/stories?
If the answer to both of these questions is “Yes” you are in on the
path to a fabulous spot on the largest living room stage EVER!

you are suggesting because we want to be able to offer you the best
possible fit for your art.
Bustling with strangeness, surprise and community of all stripes and
colors, you can share your love of vivacious performances, from
clowning to classical, from funk to flying (aerial) and so much in
between, on the Performance Stage 24-7.
Tuesday-Sunday, bring your passions, your thoughts, and the words that
frame them, to the Spoken Word Stage, with poetry, improv, lectures,
comedy, theatre and dance.

the questionnaire has recently changed and as a big change, we now
have access to them(*yippie*) and everyone will benefit from using
them in the scheduling process! (More on this to come, you shall see.)
In the Vol Questionnaire there are a bunch of questions trying to help
understand and showcase your skills and they way you have in the past,
and currently want to be involved with Burning Man. It also asks you

small secondary form that gives you options of how to get involved
with Center Camp Cafe.

GAMELATRON: A SONIC MEMORIAL, TEMPLE OF WHOLLYNESS
An Invitation / Sponsor a Memorial Gong / Ceremony
Dear Friends and All Souls destined for BRC,
The Gamelatron Team, who brought to 2011’s Temple of Transition an ensemble of 57 Balinese gongs, are orchestrating A SONIC MEMORIAL that will sound from the inner walls of this year’s vast central pyramid. www.gamelatron.com/bass.
Roh Ageng, “Great Spirit,” is dedicated to all those who have passed who have touched and inspired our lives.
Sponsoring a Gong as a Memorial Dedication
We invite you to sponsor, personally or as a group, a ritual gong or to commission an original song that the Temple will sing in ancient bass. Your dedication could be a memorial offering for a loved one, for a special ceremony or something important to you.
Roh Ageng features 15 massive, hand-forged kettle and hanging bass gongs (up to 105 cm wide, 100 lbs and 40 hertz deep) outfitted with robotically-activated mallets. We will call upon these ritual instruments of ancient Java to carry messages between realms, to ward off obstructing forces, to induce healing trance and meditation. Each gong will ripple our dedications across the playa till they are etched in the dust and sky.
As well as serving your intentions, your contributions directly support us in bringing the Memorial to the whole community.
Ceremony
At Sunset on August 26, when the gongs first sound, we will do a formal dedication ceremony with the entire Temple crew and Guardians. Send us (geoff@gamelatron.com) the names of anyone you wish to have “called in” and honored at that time
For more information on the project and to sponsor a memorial gong, visit www.gamelatron.com/bass.
Thank you for all support.

My Fellow Burners,
My name is Karla MacGregor and I own The Burner’s Market. A personal shopper website designed and dedicated to serving 2103 Burning Man ticket holders. We cater to Burners who are traveling long distances to Reno, Nevada and would like the convenience and savings of having all their camping and survival needs cared for by our local shoppers. We have a very convenient pickup location at 432 E. 4th St in Reno on a Burner owned city block. We also provide a valuable “Take Back” program in addition to Burning Man’s Exodus program for recycling and trash disposal. Please check out our website and share it with your fellow Burners. You can also find us on the official Burning Man Resources Guide.
Looking forward to a safe and exceptional Burn, Karla www.bmpersonalshopper.com

See us in the guide under DoA or Dept of Mobility. Visit us! Please pass this on to anyone you think might be able to use our services!
We have space for campers, and welcome any help! Visit http://www.brcdoa.com for more info or contact Rat Lady at brcaccessibility(at)gmail.com.
Calling all dusty playa souls… The Broken Angel Bathhouse is looking for campers! If you are a playa homeless and need a camp check us out! We are looking for all kinds of people especially those that love to make people happy! We offer massages, healings, bath salt readings and much more! So please email Dani at brokenangelbathhouse@gmail.com
Wednesday July 31, 10am — 4pm:We will focus on making Steampunk fashions from upcycled materials, such as linens and second-hand clothing without using patterns and the use of grommets and fasteners. Each student will be provided a top hat and goggles to Steampunk.
One-Day Workshop:
* Cover basics in sewing machines, sergers, hand-sewing, fabric, mending, alterations and how to make garments without patterns.
* Sewing machines are provided but students are encouraged to bring their own if they have one.
* Open to beginning and intermediate students
Sewing has become a lost art. I believe that everyone should have basic sewing skills, and it doesn’t have to be tedious, frustrating or time-consuming. I consider myself a guerilla seamstress; I don’t use patterns, I rarely use pins and use multiple shortcuts for quick results. This is the perfect time to work on Burning Man costume and playa wear projects.
