2009 USDA / Big Red Bus Camp
We did not get theme camp status this year, as expected.
This year, the BRC 2009 Map
unfortunately does not have any free camping spaces along A (Adapt)
so USDA will probably be camping on Biology, hopefully close to
a corner. So it goes.
Many of you have expressed camping with/near USDA.
YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED (down at the bottom).
Here is how it works. We have three zones:
- Dave's Bus
- The tri-sectioned USDA shade structure ("The Spider")
As seen in photos from last year
- The USDA Annex, next to the tri-section next to The Spider
As you are probably aware, you are not staying in Dave's Bus.
You are probably also not travelling in Dave's Bus, unless we
have already talked about it.
The Spider is not a public space as it was in 2007, it
is camping space like in 2008 and it is essentially claimed by
the people who were going to be on my Robot Crew had we gotten
Theme Camp status.
So chances are you are staying in the Annex! What does this
mean? This means you are going to have a great time, because
you are staying with the most awesome camp at Burning Man, but
we have a few simple rules.
- The Spider is not a public space or public kitchen.
There will be a kitchen in the Spider, and it will be used
by the people camping in Spider. Perhaps they will decide
to let you use it, perhaps not, but do not expect to have
a kitchen available to you! Bring a camping stove if you
don't have access to one.
- LEAVE NO TRACE
Non-negotiable. This is one of the main tenents of Burning Man,
and we follow it in USDA. The following are requirements:
- During the week: nothing in camp that can blow away.
- When leaving, two hour sweep on the open playa for MOOP
(this is part of BRC requirements)
- After packing up, a walking/crawling sweep with a "fine tooth
comb" of your impact area with expanded boundaries, repeated
until nothing is found. This usually takes three sweeps at
least, we're talking finding glitter and hairs. It doesn't take
that long, but it must be done. We've managed to get green status
on our camps the last two years, and it's going to happen again.
If you are staying in The Spider, then you must be there
for setup (Sun/Mon) and teardown (Mon/Tues after). If this is
a problem, let us know now.
Here is the crew list I know of, in group order, if you are not
coming or know someone else I may be missing, let me know immediately.
Red rows are UNCONFIRMED. That means you aren't in the town yet, bucko!

RESPONSE REQUIRED!
There's a lot of question marks there.
I need to know the following:
- If you are coming or not (and with who)
- Camp size (basic floorplan, like 10'x20' is fine)
- Arrival/Departure
- Optionally, knowing how you are getting there and how many
years you have been and any playa name you have would be nice.

Do not try this at someone else's home.
Do not try this anywhere. It's too stupid.
