Greetings my Ranger bretheren.
This weekend, June 8-10, there is a South Bay Regional Pre-compression and we're looking for a few good kilts. If anyone isn't going to Flambe Lounge (or want's to got to both), we could really use a couple of khaki clad hero's to help the party run smoothly. This would probably be a very low key gathering so I don't envision the need for formal shifts. Just a few of us sporting the virtually universal go-to emblem so that folks know that there are people to go to in the event of a problem. All you'll need to do is wander around and be the gorgeous, caring spirits that you always are.
Info on the South Bay Regional Precompression can be found at the bottom of this post.
Unfortunitely due to the small size of the gathering, we're not able to provide comp tickets for volunteers. So if you're already planning to attend or just want to dust off not only your Rangering skills, but your playa gear as well, this would be a perfect opportunity to do so.
Also, if anyone happens to have a couple of FRS radios we could utilize, that would rock.
As of this moment, since noone else grabbed the torch and ran, I'm coordinating the Ranger presence. If anyone else would like to step up to plate and run it instead, please feel free. This is a do-ocracy after all. If anyone believes that there needs to be a more formalized Ranger presence, hey... step right up and hit it outta the park.

Want to DJ? Practice your FIRE SPINNING performance? Have a new ART project or EL WIRE creation you'd like to show off?

Radical Inclusion Communal Effort

Decommodification Leave No Trace
Radical Self-Reliance Participation
Radical Self-Expression Immediacy
Registration: As a family naturist retreat, Lupin Lodge has certain restrictions and all attendees will be required to register at the gate before admission to the campground (see Lupin Agreements for information).
Please RSVP to realgirl at southbayburners.org so we can get a headcount prior to the event. Camping fees are collected at the gate to cover expenses for Lupin Lodge. In the interest of keeping admission prices low, the Regional will not be using this event as a fundraiser. No vending is permitted inside.
Weekend fees (per person):
9am Friday – 8pm Sunday (3 days, 2 nights) $75
9am Saturday – 8pm Sunday (2 days, 1 night) $65
All day Sunday, beginning at 9am – 8pm $30
Above rates are for "dry camping" only, RV hookups are an additional $15 per day. There are 17 RV sites and over 100 tent sites available on a first-come, first-served basis. In addition, 7 Yurts and a large cabin are available for rental.
Facilities: Lupin offers a swimming pool, 2 hot tubs, a sauna, showers and other recreational amenities including free Wi-Fi. (Bathing suits are prohibited in the pool and hot tubs.) There are restrooms near the pool and the clubhouse; additional porta-potties will be provided based on expected attendance.
Meals: The Lupin Clubhouse Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as beer, wine, juices, espressos and a variety of snacks. Although you may prepare your own meals, they will be preparing buffet-style meals over the weekend as well (vegan options will be available at all the buffets).
Friday night, 6pm-9pm – Pasta dinner $10
Saturday night, 5pm-8pm – BBQ $12
Sunday morning, 8am-11am – Breakfast buffet $ 7
A community kitchen is also available with a stove, microwave, coffeemaker, sink etc. (please leave no trace!) Because of high fire danger in the mountains, no open flames or camp stoves may be used for cooking at tent sites. Cooking in enclosed RVs or vans, or use of the communal BBQ grills is permitted.
Music: A DJ booth (with electricity provided) will be set up near the clubhouse lawn, spinning house, break beats, techno and a variety of burner-friendly music 24x7 for the duration of our event (Friday through Sunday evening). Although there will be no shutoff time for the music, we will need to adhere to legal decibel limits. If you would like to take a DJ shift, please contact our DJ coordinator, Big Mike, or join the regional discussion group.
Fire: Fire performers are encouraged to bring your poi and spin to the music! We will have a designated fuel depot, spin-out procedures, and assigned fire safeties with fire extinguishers in order to ensure fire is contained at all times. If you want to spin, please talk to peaceblossom to review safety procedures.
Art: We will have various EL-wire art installations near the clubhouse and camping areas, and you are welcome to bring more! To pre-register your art and discuss placement, email to peaceblossom at sbcglobal.net. There will also be slideshows and short DVDs playing in the NuDome Yurt throughout the weekend.
Participate: We welcome volunteers to ensure our PreCom is successful. If you have experience working Gate, Greeters, Rangers, Registration, Playa Info, Artery etc. then plug in locally and bring your experience to this event! If you would like to be a volunteer, email to realgirl at southbayburners.com with the subject line: PARTICIPATE.
