6-20-13 INFORMATION UPDATE
06-20-13 UPDATE EMAIL
KK snuggleyfucks,
Here is another email screaming "Read me! I'm important! Life Will Not Go On If You Don't Read Me".
Honestly, though, this is an important update on what is going. I suggest that you take off all your clothing, grab a drink, and make this an intimate and sensual read. Or just read this damn email and pay attention so that you dont get left in the dust wondering where your camp went.
1) Camp is Full at this time - My friends, our Camp is currently full. This means that we are not accepting any new people. However, as people may drop out, I would be open to accepting "that really awesome friend of mine who is not a sparkledonkey, I swear, and will be great and loves costumes and will have sex with everyone in camp in the span of under one hour". So bottom line, we are full, but let me know if there is someone that you thing NEEDS to be in the camp. I will let you cry if I say no. For a little bit at least.
2) Camp Meetings - Thank you everyone for coming out last night, and for continuing to show up. The Meetings are important. Its important to meet everyone and be a part of the group. If you live outside of New York, I am sorry to hear that. You can, however, participate in the Skype meetings which I hear are actually quite lively and entertaining. You will just miss the visual when I remove my pants the next time.
3) Communication - Again, there are three places you need to be. This Google Group, the Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/475873862471524/) and the wiki (http://wiki.kostumekult.com/index.php/KKBM13). Information is being added and sent out on all those places. AGAIN, IF YOU ARE NOT ON ALL THREE OF THOSE, GOD MAY SMOTE YOU. Let me know though, and I will add you, and save your pathetic little self for utter death and destruction.
4) RVs in the Camp - We are finalizing power and the RV services, and so we really need to know ASAP who intends on bringing an RV so that we can make sure that we map it and include it in the power needs and servicing needs. RVs that are added very late in the game will be a lot more expensive, because if they cause us to have to add services last minute we will have to charge the late addition RV the entire cost that we pay for the added services. Trust me, just get onboard now and make sure that I am aware of who has an RV.
5) Camp Dues and RV Fees - You can pay your dues and RV Fees now, through the online link or via check/cash to me in person. All the details on dues are here: http://wiki.kostumekult.com/index.php/Camp_Dues_2013. Just know one thing - Dues have to be paid by July 19th, or they are subject to a $50 late fee. Each RV has to pay only one RV fee, it is up to the people in the RV to figure out how to deal with that among themselves.
6) NYC Container - For those lucky freakks living in the NY area, there is a container which goes to Burning Man and you can purchase space on it to ship your stuff. Container has rules on their website. Read them and know them. ALSO, container sells out within an hour or so. So get on that shit when it goes on sale. As a heads up, you will need to start thinking very soon about what items you want to ship on the container and what
BASIC INFO FROM CONTAINER CAMP: Container space will remain $6.75 per cubic foot. (that's cubic foot, not square foot) We will be loading in at our usual spot in Jersey City on August 10. That's right, we roll on Shabbos. Space will go on sale AFTER PEX. Sometime that week. I will let you know when. But we usually sell out within the first day. It's first come, first served. No refunds. There are lots of rules and regulations. Again, I'll let you know when the website is updated. You will be responsible for all information on how to pack, etc. But the basics are still up from last year. Remember -- we are volunteers. We are not professional movers. We are community members. We are very, very mean. :) Website: http://www.nyccontainer.com/
7) Shade Structures - By now you probably got the idea that you need shade over your tent. You have two choices: (a) plant a tree, water it, wait for it to grow, cuddle it through the winter, lick its leaves when they get covered in playa dust, and hope that it gets large enough to cover your tent someday or (b) build a fucking shade structure that doesnt suck. I highly recommend choice (b). In the event that you choose wisely and pick (b), you will be coordinating with your pod to build a shade structure. If your pod is clueless and needs help, check out the wiki shade structure page here (outdated but hey, older is more legal in most states): http://wiki.kostumekult.com/index.php/Shade_Structure_Info. If you are still lost, let me know and I will try and get you some mentoring and helpful advice. And no, you cannot move into my tent just because your shade sucks. Most of you cant at least.
8) PODS - Pods are forming really nicely. Its cool to see. I know you will all love each other. If anyone does not have a pod, you really need to get on that. If you are lost, let me know and I will try and match you up with a pod that has space. But let me know soon please.
9) FREAKKSHOW HELP NEEDED - Friends, FreaKKshow is our last fundraiser before the burn, and if you want our camp to be able to afford all the nice things we promised you, we need this event to be a success. KNOW AND UNDERSTAND, that these fundraisers cover a VERY significant portion of camp expenses. Our team is killing themselves to try and make the camp on playa amazing, but it leaves us stretched a bit thin for FreaKKshow. SO, WE NEED ALL OF YOU! EVERY ONE OF YOU! Please, step forward and volunteer to make FreaKKshow an amazing event. This event is really in danger of not happening unless we get more volunteers. and if it doesnt happen, things will be bad. Really bad. You dont want to know how bad. so just get in touch with me and tell me how eager you are to help. And then we can be friends. Deal?
10) Upcoming Events - things are happening. Here are a few of the things that you may want to know about Mermaid Parade with Kostume Kult - Saturday June 22 - https://www.facebook.com/events/427483910684337/ Zhenya Sexy Russian Woman Memorial - MONDAY, JUNE 24th, 7-11 pm at XL Nightclub (512 W. 42nd Street, NYC, Free) FreaKKshow - details coming soon! I hope!
