Local Theme Camps

SiliCon Village
VISION: A collective ‘Placed Theme Camp’ Village comprised of friends, old and new, that love and celebrate life outside the box!

MODEL: The model we are creating in 2007 is a more interactive and community based one, and more environmentally sustainable. We are keeping the collective model we have enjoyed since 2004, which assumes that everyone is responsible for him/herself but we share electrical power and a common area with facilities like a bar, shade, music and other features. We will not have shared water, kitchen or shower facilities. Last year we enjoyed Sawdust's 5 Elements bar, Glimmer's dance pole, Blysse's Mystic Massage, Curtis + Fresh's "One Time at Burning Man" story tent, Gidget + sCary's windsufing lessons, Daniel O's Free Blowjobs (air for tire!), Big Mike's Tetrahedon swing, Dan's Mister Cool and a number of art cars.

Iron Rose
Iron Rose, a small, No-Personal-Drama camp populated by South Bay Burners, welcomes you to the Iron Rose Juke Joint at Burning Man 2005. Enjoy and help create our Mistical Garden, where the flowers water the humans. Cobble together some mutant game tables... where what you see isn't necessarily what you're playing. Attain perfection in our Pyramid of Perfection, with a bevy of lovely services week-long. (Pyramid available to rent for perfectly lovely playa-events and service-offerings. Please speak with our rental agent.) Even the mutant vehicle is in fine bloom!

We're a group of common, ordinary people, having fun doing uncommon, extraordinary things. If you're interested in joining us or playing along on some of our projects and events, get in touch. Email: heidi (at) dykema.net

Yahoo list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ironroseevents/. We are accepting new campers, but only participants. Placed or located somewhere near 4:30/5:00 and a couple blocks back.

Winking Lotus
Winking Lotus, we're the people behind the wink, the Burning Man theme camp with the golden stupa. Dedicated to the elimination of suffering through service, incongruity, and fervent participation. Guided by our illustrious ringmaster, the Oracle of Teaz, we craft a remarkable
encampment in the Black Rock desert of Nevada once a year.

Our mission: To bestow upon you the chillest grooves and the tastiest
trance. To offer a yogic stretch, a tarot card, and a dancing flame. To
provide a warm cup of tea and a pillow to rest your dusty head.

This is Winking Lotus, you've been served.

Alternative Energy Zone
The Alternative Energy Zone (AEZ) is a village drawn together by an interest in solar, wind, and other sources of power. Over the last few years, the village has grown to a friendly community of about 350 people, who cluster into camps and mini-villages ranging from 1 to 40 burners. Neighbors are friendly, tools and help are shared, and several village-wide potlucks occur during the week. No fossil-fuel generators are allowed, so the AEZ tends to be quieter than other neighborhoods. Camping space is pre-assigned by the village mayor, based on your request, so you know where you will be and how much space you'll have before you arrive on the Playa. AEZ does not charge fees.

You'll find the AEZ mission statement, as well as information on desert camping, alternative energy systems, suppliers, etc. To join the AEZ mailing list, send a message to altenergy-list-subscribe@burningman.com.
