JRS:V9:#21:06.10.05
Hey gang! Been a while,
no? After spending parts of May travelling
across Texas visiting
several burners there, and otherwise scrambling as
we gear up
for 2005, we're back in the saddle (or, rather, we've climbed
down OUT of the saddle to get back to our computers.) And just
in time -
May flowers have given way to June's gale force
madness blowin' through
the office. And since that the burn is
85 days, 6 hours, 25 minutes and
16 seconds away from
*rightnow*... you can expect to be hearing a lot
more from us.
Since the Miss Meow caught us up on a lot of news with a
double dose of
JRS last week, one might think this JRS would be
brief. One would be
wrong. Witness: a story about burn night
etiquitte, Burning Man in the
news, deadlines approaching for
Theme Camps, Villages, Low Income Ticket
Applications, the What
Where When, AND Press
registration...opportunities to join in
the creation of Theme Art this
year, or to greet or join the
Love Army or get together at the local
level. There's also some
info about submitting to the JRS and the
upcoming resources
issue. It's all straight from our laptops and into
your inbox.
Hey, you're welcome.
(Oh...and don't forget that Cafe Craft
Party Saturday June 11th at the
Burning Man offices 1-6pm. http://www.burningman.com/officedirections
)
Ready for it then? Walk this way.

**"SIT DOWN!!!" "I DON'T WANT TO!" Standing vs. Sitting at a
Burn?**
Zoe shares her story with us, and we share it with
you:
"Last year I attended Burning Man for my 7th straight
year. The night
of the burn I arrived at the circle of people
crowded around the man,
found a nice spot, not too close, not
too far. My friends and I waited
as people filled in both in
front of and behind us. Eventually we were
all packed in. There
were two other groups next to us, one of them
included an
elderly gentleman being helped to his spot by his friends.
Eventually people started sitting down. We chose to stand.
The gentleman in front of us could not sit on the playa due
to his bad
knees, so we all grouped together, the standees
(there were about 15 of
us), to minimize our impact on the
sitters' view. A few people began to
ask us to sit down, we
politely explained that we could not. Someone on
a megaphone
began to chant 'Sit down, sit down.' This turned into a mob
of
approx. 250 people chanting 'Sit down, sit down,' in unison. We
declined. They formed a leadership group and sent emissaries. My
partner and I happened to be standing at the back of the group,
so we
received the delegates, explained to them that it was a
matter of free
choice, and that we were not going to sit down.
After my partner explained this, the next thing over the
megaphone was
'Asshole, asshole.' It bummed him out, to say the
least, to hear a
group that size chanting that at him. Another
person was sent to talk
to us. I explained again that our
participation included standing, and
apologized if it interfered
with their view. The delegate could not
understand our point
about choice, and claimed that we chose to do this
out of spite.
He went back, and the next thing over the megaphone was
'Cunt,
cunt,' (directed at me). I have never felt so much hatred on
burn night.
Of course, these things escalate, and
eventually people started throwing
things (what happened to
LNT?), including a full 1 liter bottle of water
which hit the
elderly gentleman in the head. He was bewildered. It was
his
first burn, and, as a veteran of many Grateful Dead shows and the
like, he claimed he had never felt such animosity. I assured him
that
we just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong
time, and that
mob mentality can happen anywhere. I witnessed a
fist fight break out
between a member of the standees and a
member of the sitters. Blood was
flowing from both of their
noses. Once the sitters realized they had
injured an old man
they all stood up. 'Stand up! Stand up!' came out
over the
megaphone.
I am writing because I am still amazed that this
happened at Burning
Man. A point of view, a place to look at
something -- this is called
'spectation'. The sitters were
complaining because their spectation had
been interfered with.
That this escalated to litter and violence is
unbelievable to
me. I do not want there to be (rules) created to deal
with this.
I'd be horrified by zoning for standing vs. sitting, but I
believe that it should be made known that if you want to sit and
watch
the man burn, if you want a good view, GET THERE EARLY. It
should also
be made known that Burning Man is not hippie happy
fun land where
everyone can come to the same agreement and live
in utopian harmony. If
I'm not mistaken, tolerance for other's
choices of self-expression is
one of the core values of our fair
city. I want to stress that we were
not standing so close to the
man that it was ridiculous for us to be
standing; we were a good
way back, even behind a few art cars. I feel my
participation
was definitely interrupted by a mob screaming "Cunt" at
me. This
kind of violent hatred is a little disturbing when the
perpetrators have access to flamethrowers.
Thanks for
listening. - Zoe"
Actiongrl says: We know Zoe's not the only
one who's had such an
experience, because we've heard similar
stories, and we've seen it
happen ourselves. In the case of this
story, it's clear that Zoe and
friends were a fair number of
rows back from the front - behind some art
cars, even. (For what
it's worth, if you're in the very first few rows
at a burn, a
Ranger will ask you to sit down - this helps create a
barrier
against surging crowds shoving or nudging the first few rows
into the burn circle perimeter. Thus, if you KNOW you want to
sit down,
and get a good warm view, show up early and get a spot
in the first few rows.)
And if you're farther back and some
folks are choosing to stand, because
they got there early or
they have a bum knee or a sitting-prohibitive
garment...for that
matter, if they just choose instead to stand...well,
rather than
hurl insults or bottles, perhaps have a moment of
reflection: as
soon as the action starts, folks have a tendency to stand
up
anyway. And it's probably never worth it to let things get so nasty
that people are still stinging 9 months later from the emotional
upset...
or kindly gentlemen are pegged in the head with heavy
objects.
Normally, mind you, I only preach etiquette when
asked in an advice
column, but since I've seen this (I became
overwhelmed and ran away
in tears to escape the nasty vibe of a
similar occurence at the Temple burn)
Zoe's story struck home.
Your faithful rabbits would like to call a moment for us all
to reflect
on whether this particular phenomenon at a burn isn't
something we might
handle differently the next time we are faced
with it.

**Call for Designs for Burning Man Stickers!**
Hey, if you dig those stickers we pass out at the greeters
with the map,
BRG, etc., you know, the clear vinyl ones, and
you're interested in
contributing a design...now is your chance.
Each year we take design
submissions for the window sticker
decal. We always have wonderful
submissions, and a few years ago
we printed 3 or 4 more of various
shapes and sizes to be
randomly distributed throughout the event and the
year. It's
time once again to submit your sticker designs!
The clear
vinyl 2005 window sticker is circular and will be printed in
two
colors. The design should contain the name Burning Man, the year
2005 and have something to do with the Psyche
<http://www.burningman.com/art_of_burningman/bm05_theme.html>
theme. The
URL for www.burningman.com is an optional element in
the design. The
final sticker will be 2.5 or 3 inches in
diameter depending on cost.
To be considered for the other
(non window) stickers you can submit
designs that might fit well
within constraints of 2.25" x 5.5." or 3" x
3" or somewhere in
between. Those can be square, rectangular or
circular. We'd like
to see elements that will make the sticker
recognizable for this
year. This includes the year 2005, words Burning
Man (optional
if you use the logo), the Psyche (not imperative), the
logo,
etc. Two color are the easiest to work with due to costs. Designs
with more colors WILL be considered as we allocate the print
runs based
on the design/color/staff preference, etc. So, go
crazy, but understand
what the limitations are.
We'd
MUCH prefer the designs to be printed on a web page, but will also
consider submissions via email. Here's how to share your stuff
with us.
Send your URL, or your designs as an Adobe Illustrator
file to
bex@burningman.com. PLEASE put STICKER DESIGN in your
header so we don't
think you're spam! We'd hate to miss seeing
your cool stuff.
Your deadline? June 23rd. Get on it!

**What, Where, When on the Playa**
Deadline:
Wednesday, July 20th, 2005
LOCATION: http://burningman.com/calendar/playa/
Howdy! Many of you have known that the Playa Calendar is
open and
accepting submissions for the What Where When guide.
The What Where
When is the printed version of the Playa Calendar
that is handed to
every participant who comes through the gates
of Black Rock City. This
guide is a great way to publicize your
participatory event. If you want
to make your on-playa event
known and encourage Black Rock citizens to
attend, now's the
time to get your text ready and submit it. We will be
taking
submissions for the printed version up until Wednesday, July
20th, so you only have a few weeks left! So far, we've received
a good
number, mostly from the early birds we hear from every
year (thank
you!!) but I know there are those of you out there
who like to wait
until the last minute! Of course, this makes
the What Where When crew
insane, so the earlier the better. Here
are some things to think about
when preparing your entry:
1. Keep the descriptive text short and to the point. (We
edit the
printed version for length.) There is no need to
include the time and
location in the descriptive text, there are
fields for that. Extraneous
text like "See you there" or "We're
so excited!" can be left out.
2. There is a "Hosted by/Camp
Name" field. Put in the name of your camp
(or the camp where
your event is hosted). If the name of your camp
matches the name
we have in our Theme camp database, it makes putting
your
physical location (city street address) in MUCH easier. We will
know your address from the theme camp mapping team and will put
your
address in alongside your entry. If your camp is NOT mapped
(not a
registered theme camp), please include the location you
plan on camping.
If you don't camp there, there's really nothing
we can do about it once
the guide is printed, so please be sure
to check this years map taking
note of the new areas that are
reserved for theme camps. If the place
you're used to camping
falls into one of these reserved areas, you will
need to
consider an alternate location. See the map below for
reference:
http://burningman.com/preparation/maps/05_maps/
3. If your event happens on several days at the same time
and location,
it can be entered as a repeating event. If your
event has the same
description, but its time and/or location
varies, you will need to enter
a separate event for each.
4. If you have a problem with your event and you need
something changed,
feel free to send a note to the email address
listed on every page of
the playa calendar. We'll be happy to
correct something.
5. Oh, and finally, be sure to take
special note of the AM/PM buttons.
That is the most often
requested change. People just forget it's there
and need it
changed from AM to PM all the time.
6. The WWW does get
handed out at the gate in a printed version, it's
true. However,
because of print deadlines, it only holds items submitted
(of
course) before the July 20th deadline. Thus, some folks choose to
print out the most up-to-the-minute version and staple the pages
right
before they hop in the car. Up to you!
OK, so now
that you know all about WHAT to do, you need to know WHERE to
go:
http://burningman.com/calendar/playa/
and you'll need to know WHEN to submit your event by:
Wednesday, July
20th is the last date for submission for the
printed guide. We will
still accept events for the online
calendar up until the day the event
begins, but events submitted
after the deadline will not be included in
the What Where When
guide. Thank you for your submissions and I look
forward to
proofreading them!

**SUBMISSIONS TO THE JRS - A few notes from the Rabbits**
Short and sweet here - a few notes about submitting to the
JRS:
1. The deadline is changing to accomodate an updated
weekly schedule.
The new deadline is Sunday nights at 11:59 PM.
2. Send to jackrabbitspeaks@burningman.com and TYPE:
"POST REQUEST"
in the subject line! See, if we're
racing with a JRS deadline, and
you've submitted an item by
replying to the last issue or just typing
"Hey!!" in the subject
line, then your post looks like a hundred other
emails we got
that day and we might miss it. And, dig it:
"POST REQUEST (with
a reference to your post here!)"
is even BETTER, in case we
need to reference your email later and can't
recall who sent it
to us.
3. The RESOURCES ISSUE is coming up at the end of
June....we do a once
yearly issue of the JRS with links to
special deals and offers for playa
preparation. Why one issue?
Easy reference, natch...plus, this way,
those that don't want
any resources peanut butter in their JRS chocolate
may simply
take a pass and skip that issue. For those who appreciate it,
it's coming to you earlier this year so you can plan ahead...
and for
those who seek to be listed in it, the DEADLINE for the
Resources Issue
will be Sunday, June 19th at 11:59 PM.
4. Reminder: we love your stories, your questions, even your
complaints...it's good to know you're out there and reading and
care
enough to hit reply. Really.

**THEME ART TAKE TWO: Inner Mind Invites You to Participate!
(FROM ANYWHERE!)**
Gary Stadler of San Diego is creating the
Inner Mind:
http://www.burningman.com/installations/05_art_grant.html#inner
with a grant from Burning Man. He's looking for participants to
help generate
content for the installation.
Gary says:
"I have a little request. For our InnerMind project, I need
a ton of
photos from burners, pictures that are favorite moments
or memories
taken preferably at Burning Man, but not necessarily
taken there. I'll
be taking the photos and turning them into
little 'sphere' shapes (a
bubble) and loading them all into the
computer that will ultimately
project these little "memory
bubbles" on to the central column of our
installation. It will
look like infinite numbers bubbles of thoughts or
memories
rising up and going out (via the light beam out the top) into
the vast universe. So the more of you that send in photos the
merrier.
I have created a URL to my site that gets you to a
simple browse/upload
utility; burners can use it to load their
photos on to my server. I
will only use them for the Burning Man
project, nothing else, and I need
to reserve the right to edit
them to suit the project's purpose.
Here's the upload URL:

**JOIN LOVE ARMY - Worlds' First Theme Cult**
What’s
a Theme Cult? An experiment in viral participation. Think of it
as a de-centralized, open source, guerilla theme paradigm…or
“the kind
of thing they did in Fight Club (but without the
fighting).”
What’s Love Army? A Theme Cult whose objective
is to spread LOVE at
Burning Man ’05 by any means necessary. We
are a mighty yet mysterious
alliance. Our uniform is pink,
green, hearts and camouflage. We go on
inventive, self-directed
missions like: graffiti squads, love song
sing-along, lipstick
kissing ambush. Form your own troop or go rogue
it’s all
good.
Who should join? You buster! Love Army Theme Cult
should be especially
awesome for: wide-eyed 1st timers; folks
involved with other projects
(volunteers, artists) who still
like to dress up and cause chaos; vets
who want to participate
in a theme without the commitment of a camp.
We have no idea
how this will turn out. That’s why you must join:

**Healing Map of the Playa - Be listed!**
From
Amani: "Hello fair rabbits! This year, I am doing the Second Annual
Healing Map
of the playa! Last year I had about 30 camps mapped
out, all across the
city. My goal is to provide a map for people
who might need a little
tending to, while they're in Black Rock
City. I'm seeking camps who
provide healing of some sort or
another. Reiki, acupuncture,
chiropractic, misting tents,
counseling, Anon-meetings, foot rubs,
whatever is meant to
soothe and/or heal the participant. Can you help me
by putting
out the word to your local camps? I'll need camp name and
address, and services offered.
A little history: In 2004
I was in a car accident that left me with 13
bulging discs in my
spine. The only way I could go to Burning Man with
my doctors'
approval, was to promise I'd be treated well (like that's
hard
in BRC!), and if I could, get some sort of treatment while I was
there. I set out to find out who offered healing on playa. I got
so much
positive feedback, from all kinds of people, that I
decided to make it
my gift to the community. Every kind of
person contacted me- from
disabled people, scared people,
injured or addicted or just nervous, and
many others! When I
took the maps around here and there, some people had
already
heard of them! The Rangers expressed interest in having them on
hand, as did the Medics. I myself used the map, and had some
amazing
experiences. I met people I wouldn't have otherwise, I
did get
treatment, and I survived BRC without further damage. I
dare say that I
heal faster because of my experiences on-playa,
specific to healing, or
not. I believe that others can benefit
from it too, on many levels!
I hope to make an even more
robust map this year, so I'm starting early.
If you could send
out a message to your lists, I would greatly
appreciate it!
You'll be helping people on-playa, more than we'll ever
know!
It's nice to have a map in your playa bag, so if anything happens
to you, mental, physical or emotional, you can just check the
map to
find that help isn't ever far from you!
thank you
so much! Feedback is appreciated!

** LAS VEGAS REGION SEEKS VOL COORDINATOR for DARK SKIES
ARTS FESTIVAL**
Do you like challenges? The Dark Skies Arts
Festival (Las Vegas regional
burn) is looking for a Volunteer
Coordinator. This person should have a
working knowledge of
Microsoft Access and Excel, be available and
respond to email at
least daily, and above all must play well with
others.
Role Description: The Volunteer Coordinator is responsible
for pairing
up willing volunteers into the jobs they are needed
for. The VC
databases contact information for volunteers, and
where they are camping
at Dark Skies. The VC is responsible for
polling all departments as to
their needs and scheduling people
to help on an as needed basis. The VC
is the clearing house for
all volunteer based efforts at Dark Skies
including front gate,
greeters, perimeter, artist support, and clean up.
The VC is
responsible for maintaining a call board in center camp during
the event. Via this call board, event participants can see at a
glance
when people are needed the most and at what positions
throughout the
event. The VC is part manager, part mom/dad, and
part cat herder. This
is a volunteer position though we may
compensate the VC for their time &
trouble at the conclusion
of the event. Living in Las Vegas is not a
prerequisite to doing
this job, we just need someone who will stay on
top of it.
Please contact Cameron Grant of VegasArtists.com LLC

Thank you, and see
you at Dark Skies October 21-23
