SPANKY from Burning Man says that our What Where When entry will be due mid-July, and he doesn't know when the map will come out. (THe below were entered 13 July 2008) ALISON's INFO ABOUT HEALTH PERMIT Health Department Permit Needed If, in the opinion of the health authority, an imminent hazard to the public health will not result, temporary food establishments which do not fully comply with all the requirements of NAC 446.050 to 446.625, inclusive, may operate when the preparation and service of food are restricted and deviations from full compliance are covered by the requirements set forth in NAC 446.635 to 446.660, inclusive. $50 for food permit. Keep drink ice in a clean clean container, IN BAGS. Have scoops. Wash celery. Have a hand-washing station. RYAN SAYS Headers and various performance goodies are ordered for Plan A, Scooter is coming along, cheap yellow paint for the bar has been found. Progress!!! ANDREA SAYS Note to the team: I have a flagpole (ryan, it's that one I showed you-22fter) . I have flag material and will begin sewing this week (using the camp's approved mascot). I have discussed EL wire issues with weaver for the flag-my goal is to sew the EL wire into it, or ideally do a system making it easy to get it in there to outline the shape of the crab. Also, as far as taking on camp responsibities: I can do some cooking, slicing, setting or whatever. (I'm also good at being an order freak if you need someone for that task occasionally). Oh, and I have decided to be set up to be camp emergency provider (if need be). I'm working on a first aid set up to deal with the immediacy of most emergencies. Not a substitute for an ER mind you, but I can do some minor "port in a storm" duties. I will discuss those with the camp when we get there in person if you're interested. Foodwise: If you are looking for more veggies (and being a meat minimalist- I always am) I can work on some veggie sides, fruit sides and other roughage-like materials. I can also do the veggie chili if that helps (do a pot before we leave and plastic bag it for easy reheating). Let me know if any of this fits into the plan when you do your meeting. I could also do some cornbread we could fire on the grill. I'll leave myself time for the chili task for prep week before until I hear otherwise. ==== EL UPDATE EL UPDATE ==== RYAN SAYS: Eric and I just inventoried our FUNCTIONAL lighting gear. Some pieces had failed over the years and some pieces are new. 7x 12" Red CCFL 2x 12" UV CCFL 1x 6" UV CCFL 6x 12" Blue CCFL (two will go on back of crab) 1x 12" Green CCFL(for my bike) 1x 12" White CCFL 1x 12" Red Chaser LED strip with controller 4x 12volt sound activated controllers 14x CCFL inverters 2x Battery operated EL inverters ~25ft THICK orange EL ~3ft Yellow EL ~4ft Red EL 3x 12" White CCFLs and power supplies (designated for RV interior lighting) A friend borrowed a bunch of EL/CCFL crap last year, I'm saving up for the ransom. Hopefully we'll be able to add that to the pot as well. May I suggest that if you're going to use EL/CCFL on your bikes that you go to Radio Crack and buy a twelve volt C-Cell battery pack. The AAA packs won't last real long and batteries are nasty. ===== WEAVER SAYS This may be the only time in the history of the world that I've done something when I said I would. My plan is to chop up a couple colors of choice into length appropriate for bikes (probably blue and pink, since 15x15 is 225ft), and the 15 battery-powered drivers. I'm planning on ordering some huge lengths (2x ~300ft) for camp lighting, which can be driven off the big, bad drivers. I don't have time to cook up solar-powered battery chargers. If folks have rechargable batteries, we can rig something up to run off the RV DC systems (maybe). 4x 2ft to 45ft drivers, 9-14V 5x 10ft to 80ft driver, 9-14V 3x 1ft to 20ft driver, 9-14V for twisted three-way blue/green/aqua 20ft 3.2mm poly-coated wire 2x 330ft driver, 12V 15x 2ft to 18ft driver, 4xAAA (FOR BIKES) (sketchy) 1x 1ft to 15ft driver, 4xAAA battery (sketchy) 2x 1ft to 15ft driver, 2xAA battery 100ft 3.2mm poly-coated wire (blue) 95ft 3.2mm poly-coated wire (pink) 50ft 3.2mm poly-coated wire (purple) 50ft 3.2mm poly-coated wire (red) 25ft 3.2mm poly-coated wire (aqua) 25ft 3.2mm poly-coated wire (blue) 20ft 3.2mm poly-coated wire (red) 5ft 5mm really-a-lot-poly-coated wire (white) ~15ft unidentified wire (blue) 4x 8-way AA battery cage (9V connector) 1x hand-built multi-out 12V bus 1x 3A 110V to 12V DC power supply 4x "medium"-amp 110V to 12V DC power supply 1x "high"-amp 110V AC to 12V DC power supply for the 330ft driver ZENON ASKS Ryan, Do you still have any connectors or wires from the purple baron parts?
