We are implementing a two-tiered dues paying system this year. Camp dues are $50 up until July 1. After that they rise to $75. Anyone who is paying dues but not making it to the playa are $50. All dues must be in no later than August 15 and no early-arrival passes will be distributed to anyone delinquent on his or her dues.
For all of you NorCal Barbiebarians and wannabees, there will be a preliminary planning party at Ericka’s house on Saturday, January 9 beginning at 12:30. Her address is 9036 Elm Avenue in Orangevale.
We will be one of three or four camps there and will be discussing the early stages of what we want our art truck to be for this year, camp dues structure, and what infrastructure changes we may wish to make. We are on double-secret probation with the BMOrg DMV still and they are requiring us to completely decorate the front of the truck so it doesn’t look like a truck.
We would still like to use the Barbie Mobile Whorehouse motif, so bring your suggestions, ideas, and plans. Oh, and don’t forget the beer. Please let Doc Pyro know if you are able to attend.
Update (1/7/10): Sorry to inform you that BDC&WB will not be able to attend the event at Ericka’s house. Other camps will be present so please bring food, fun, and good vibes. We will wait until late April to begin construction on the art truck. We are looking for some new members as several of our key people are taking sabbaticals for at least one year.
Welcome everyone to the New and Improved! BDC&WB website. 2009 was a banner year and we ended up with over 60 people in our camp and over 200 in the Village. A big thank you to Tracy and Janice who helped get the International Burner Hostel placed within our Village. They were an excellent addition and we certainly hope they will join us again this year. Also the Alaska Burners and Boosh: Canadian Splinter Squad should be joining us again.
We are intending on keeping camp dues at $50 per person again. In order to meet our budget we will need around 70 dues-paying members. A short breakdown shows our fixed expenses of Barbie storage, trailer and art truck storage, and truck registration and insurance comes to $2000. We have some debts that remain from ‘09 but it looks like our infrastructure expenses have been met. We will begin to redecorate the art truck some late spring. We are on “double secret probation” with the BMOrg DMV so some overhauling of the truck will be in order. We also will be requesting 40% more space and 80 early entry passes.
