Always welcome to newcomers, we are a happy bunch dedicated not only to bioluminesence, but also great food, good shade, and posing difficult questions so we can laugh at our silly answers. Our wise ancestors brought the first glowsticks to the playa, and we've been playing up to that ever since. We can be reached on radio at FRS 3/11, GMRS 13/26.

Flight to Mars in Area 47, Esplanade and 7:30
411
Hard at work in the Martian biolabs, the genius test pilots had nearly perfected the advanced Cerebral Synaptodrive, when a mysterious shockwave scrambled all their programming codes. The test pilots survived, but only to find themselves in an inescapable state of spacetime transience. They could inexplicably appear in any time, place, or dimension throughout the history of existence -- and disappear just as quickly. Is your earthling bodily vessel prepared to penetrate the very fabric of the empirical universe just to reach a dry, dusty, barren rock like Mars? What, are you insane? You probably deserve all the mutations you will get.

Hushville is an aural oasis in a sea of chaos. We are an open village and everyone is welcome to camp with us, provided they abide by three rules: 1) No generators of any kind at any time; 2) No amplified sound; 3) Clean up after yourself. Burning Man 2001 was the first year for Hushville and it was a resounding success, with nearly 200 campers who were actually able to get a bit of sleep at night. By 2004 we were up to 400 people, so who knows what this year will be like.

NAIR 4:30 and Esplanade
411
(Note: The reason the following description doesn't make any sense is because Jackass told me to "use the same crap we had last year." I'm not going to second-guess him, so here it is.)
The third incarnation (or reincarnation) of Arson Island Resort. It all began with a silly idea of doing a really fucking big villiage. We quickly learned our lesson and killed off our camp to get rid of the slackers (reads: ravers), and became AIRID (Arson Island Resort is Dead). Damn itif we aren't at it again.
We are loud, rowdy, sarcastic, antagonizing, and at times we are a bunch of surly jerks. We like megaphones, we hate trance, we like to fight each other just about any chance we get, and take great joy in yelling at just about anybody. "Lush" is not a big enough word to address our ability to drink.
More on AIRFLO's plans as they become available. Pillow Fight Club anybody?

What's our project? N O T H I N G !!
Fundraisers, meetings, detailed plans, camp fee ..... HAH!! That's for the other people united for something. If you'd like to be nowhere doing nothing at no particular time, then drop in to the NOWHERE Lounge. Don't look for us though cause we're nowhere to be found.

Rainforest Refugee Camp Gestalt and 4:30
411
RRC has grown over the years from a single solo camper in a portable car garage, to 22 members this year (maybe 25 members (space is still available). We have had members from all over the world camp with us and this year is no different. folks from Canada, England, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania, California, and Washington. About half our members are Playa virgins the rest are seasoned burners with 2 to 5 burns attended. We run a misting tent during the heat of the day then visit other camps all night long. We are a clothing optional camp because "IT IS TO DAMN HOT OUT ON THE PLAYA!!!"
This is a very special year theme wise for RRC members because many of us are healers. All week long we will be giving lessons on Aura healing, energy balancing, remote viewing, remote healing, and generally just a good place to come and get a hug!
Our classes will be impromptu as to the need of the individual in attendance. As in previous years be ready to be blown away by what we have to offer in the simplest ways. We never know what the topics will be but the response to those seeking will be "Just what was needed"
Still accepting new members, Playa virgin friendly!

Space Virgins in Area 47, Esplanade and 7:30
411
The Space Virgin theme camp has participated in Burning Man since 1994, out of which we have developed an active, year-round arts collective, a non-profit arts organization with a mission to develop community through large scale collaborative art projects. As a theme camp, the Space Virgins have repeatedly provided Burning Man participants with the opportunity to ritualistically cleanse themselves of their mental baggage, or re-virginize. We structure our interactive art projects to produce transformative experiences that help people let go of the anxieties and inhibitions that develop over the course of a life time, so that they might experience joy to its fullest potential. In past years we have performed revirginization rituals, provided demon workshops, created a crashed space ship from which space virgins leapt to help earthlings burn their inner demons, and burnt a sacrificial virgin goddess. We constructed a Parthenon facade as a testament to the virgin goddess, Athena, to provide a place of joy. For 2005, the Space Virgins will build a Temple to the Ruined Mind to provide a place for people to act out the battle between their id and their super ego, to reflect upon the anxieties that inhibit them and reinvigorate their hedonistic, pleasure-seeking id. We also traditionally gift to the playa a cocktail party on Friday night, which we will do again this year.
