Afterburn 2018 Ticketing Update

For those of you who were waiting until the day of the event to buy tickets only to see tickets are no longer on sale, we’re helping you out! Tickets are now available to purchase until Sunday November 11 at noon.

For anyone reading this who decides to go through the Brown Paper Ticket listing with a magnifying glass, you may notice that the event dates appear as though the event is an hour long on Sunday. Fear not, the actual event hours have not changed (read the event description on Brown Paper Tickets), we just had to do that to allow beyond-last-minute ticket sales.

Now get your butts out here!

November 7, 2018

Hey, Guys!

I was out at Woodchuck weekend with a bunch of rockstar volunteers, and we got stuff mowed, trimmed, organized, and generally “chucked.” Wait ’til you see the mind-blowing art that got built this past weekend! I’m super-excited!

The star of this issue is the Survival Guide. We’ve updated last year’s guide, and it provides answers to most questions. The rest of the questions? Email me, I guess. bob@burntoranges.org

I have to go pack my first-aid kit now. Don’t forget yours!

How ’bout that?

Hey, Guys!

As promised, I’m here to keep you updated and informed about AfterBurn: Tabula Rasa. Do you want to know where the information comes from? Check this out:

1 – AfterBurn volunteers submit department announcements to bob@burntoranges.org.
2 – Participants (this means YOU) submit fun and interesting information about projects and theme camps to bob@burntoranges.org.
3 – Bob reads ALL your emails and loves hearing from you!

Members of the Bob team don’t use Facebook to gather or share information, because not everybody has access to it. However, if you would please share my posts on your Facebook pages or feed, we would be thrilled by the additional exposure!

As I wrote in my previous issue, this is a two-way street. If you have a question or a concern about the event, or you just can’t find the information you need on the website, email me. I’ll make sure you get an answer.

How ’bout that?

Staying healthy and hydrated are sexy

From the AfterBurn Medic Team

Are you packing all the things for Afterburn 2018: Tabula Rasa? The el wire, your art, your air mattress…that perfect costume you’ve worked on for a month? Well, here’s a friendly (and serious) reminder to also pack your FIRST AID KIT! Don’t leave home without it!

Embrace radical self-reliance, and make sure you have what you (or your camp) needs to handle bumps, cuts, bug bites and cramps! Ladies- pack feminine hygiene stuff, even if you aren’t expecting your period! On-site medics are community volunteers, and our primary purpose is to help with assessment of serious injuries or illness. We have limited first aid supplies, so you are EXPECTED to provide your own!

What should you pack in your first aid kit? Here’s a good starting point:

  • Band aids (all sizes), antibiotic ointment
  • Anti-itch cream, sun screen
  • Ibuprofen, acetaminophen, anti-diarrheal, antihistamine
  • Pepto Bismol, or something similar for upset stomach
  • Dry chemical ice packs, ace bandages
  • Do you have a chronic condition or severe allergies? Bring your supplies!
  • Severe allergies to stinging insects? Bring your epi-pen.
  • High blood pressure? Bring your meds.
  • Diabetes? Bring your syringes, your insulin(s), your meter
  • Asthma? Bring your inhaler(s).

Lastly, be prepared to stay hydrated through the event. 2 gallons of water per person per day is a common standard. Staying hydrated is sexy! Don’t be the pukey friend that partied all night, forgot to drink water for a day and now needs a trip to the hospital for IV fluids. It’ll be expensive, and it will affect everyone around you (and not in a good way).

Want to know more? Reach out to your medics! We’re happy to help you build the perfect safety net for you and your camp! Email us at medic@burntoranges.org.

Warm hearts and smiling faces needed at Sanctuary

From Melissa & Savvy of the Sanctuary Team

Sanctuary is a space where participants can find safe haven for reflection, or reintegration within the self after a shattering or emotionally harrowing experience, we offer peer-to-peer support. While the experiences within Sanctuary are personal, specific, and subjective, the Green Dots mission will always be simply offering support.
Training will be provided onsite, we would love to have your warm hearts and smiling faces join our Sanctuary/Green Dot family!

If you have any questions, concerns, or simply want to find out more information on how you can be more involved please reach out to us. You can sign up for a volunteer shift here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4ea8ac29a7ff2-sanctuarygreen1

If you have credentials, Medics needs YOU

From Daisy, Burnt Oranges Medic Volunteer Coordinator & Medicnatrix Extraordinaire

Any participant who wants to volunteer for medics need to email the team directly at medic@burntoranges.org. If you’ve never worked as a medic with BOI, we’ll need copies of your credentials. The shifts are 4 hours from 08:00 to Midnight Friday & Saturday (noon to 16:00 is already full) and 08:00 to 20:00 Sunday.

Please note, NO shift requests will be accepted if sent via FB Messenger, text to my personal phone, email to my personal email or via any thread in any social media. In other words, you must use medic@burntoranges.org or risk being completely ignored.

Burgers Without Orders might serve you…or might not

From the Burgers Without Orders Team

Where is BWO?(Bartow, Florida) Known throughout the burnerverse, Burgers Without Orders will be slinging burgers at Tabula Rasa with a sense of decency, style, and dedication only found in half-baked ideas that require no forethought.

You may have a hard time finding them, but trust your nose. When you smell seared meat, follow it. Long pants and hard-soled shoes are suggested. PLEASE DON’T F’ING WEAR FLIP FLOPS.

Come without expectations and you might get a burger. Come with an order and you’ll get nothing.

Hours: Midnight – 4AM
Location: See map, above

(ADDENDUM)

Our cooks just said we messed this up completely. We were supposed to be recruiting people, not showing the map.
ANYONE interested in BWO (Burgers Without Orders) participation will receive DOUBLE volunteer credits.
A link to BWO service is now live on SignUpGenius: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4EA8AC29A7FF2-burgers

Calling all healers

From David of The Magic Touch theme camp

The Magic Touch is recruiting for AfterBurn. If you are a healer, especially with holistic skills, and you’d like to camp with us, please contact David at simpletask1@gmail.com and mention The Magic Touch theme camp or healers or something like that in the subject line. I will want to talk with you by phone to fill you in on camp history and our vision. We are also looking to expand into the educational field so if you’d like to present a workshop or lecture on a holistic topic, don’t hesitate to contact me.

The sky is falling! (i.e., Timely Announcements & Critical Links)

Can you help us out at Woodchuck Weekend?

It’s November 3 and 4, the weekend before the event. Here’s the signup: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4ea8ac29a7ff2-woodchuck?fbclid=IwAR2luaZ5-srDIdjdEs3nj8Y85fMNbiTrLOfTtGlK5h0pyEFRJKog88_8kNg

Blurb of Bob Vol 2. No. 1 – 2018

 

===

Hey, Guys!

I’m baaaack! This is your friendly AfterBurn spokesperson, Bob. I was recently called out of my well-deserved Florida shuffleboard retirement when a handful of AfterBurners said, “WTF happened to Bob?”

For the next few weeks, I will do my best to organize and share the news and information you need to pARTicipate at AfterBurn: Tabula Rasa. I’ll post everything on the Burnt Oranges Blog, so if you miss an issue, you can find it in one place. And I’ll send it via email as well.

This is a two-way street — I need to hear from you as well! Please email me at bob@burntoranges.org if you have questions about the event or want to tell everybody about the super-exciting things you are bringing this year.

How ’bout that?

WOODCHUCK WEEKEND IS MIND-BLOWINGLY AWESOME

…however, it needs you to make it that way.

On November 3 and 4, one week before AfterBurn, a special group of individuals gather on the property to get it ready. What makes them special? They get an extra weekend with their Burner friends, in exchange for a couple of days of hard work. You can be one of those special people! There’s something for everyone to do, depending on ability and willingness. Extra points if you have saws, chainsaws, or mowers. You can also come and feed the volunteers. Check out the Sign-Up page here:

https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0d4ea8ac29a7ff2-woodchuck?fbclid=IwAR2luaZ5-srDIdjdEs3nj8Y85fMNbiTrLOfTtGlK5h0pyEFRJKog88_8kNg

THE INDABA: IT’S NOT JUST A TENT

From the Indaba team:

The Indaba is your place, where you can start a discussion, share world-changing ideas, make music, and meet new friends. If you are a welcoming person, we can use your help! Please consider signing up as an Indaba Host.

Do you want to give a workshop or a speech? Book your time in the Indaba now by emailing stig@fonslet.com. If you have an idea while you are at AfterBurn, we’ll promote it on the whiteboard when you arrive.

At the Indaba, you can attend an activity, put on an activity, promote your theme camp activity, or find out about theme camp activities. In other words, it’s all about participation. Think of it as a physical What-Where-When.

Indaba Schedule so far…

Friday, 7 pm: Community potluck — bring a dish to share, and your own plates and utensils

Saturday, 11 pm: The First Annual Inaugural Joke-Telling Hour

Sunday, noon: Storytelling circle — bring your best Burner stories

If you have an idea for the schedule, let us know! We’ll make it happen!

NEW FOR AFTERBURN: THE ART DEPARTMENT

If you are building an art piece before the burn starts, please find Buttercup or Kevin Bean. We are adding a new part of infrastructure called the Art Department. If you’re feeling stuck or need a hand during your project, find them for support! 

MOVING THE SOUND CAVE

 

 

 

 

https://www.facebook.com/events/181027299440951/?active_tab=about

This year during the Florida Arts Road show, burning man artist Tyson Ayers decided to donate a Sound Cave to our community.

It’s built with 4 baby grand piano sound boards and a grand piano that you can play. You can read more about his project here: http://www.soundcave.org/experience.php

We need to move it out of The Dead Lizard, where it’s been since March and take it to Bartow for the community to enjoy at Afterburn 2018: Tabula Rasa.

And we need help. While this event says it’s starting today, that’s just the first time we could attempt it. We’re looking for at least 4 people to confirm a date they’re available, and then we’ll schedule it. If we can then get 4-5 people to help during work weekend to assemble it, then we’ll have one of the coolest art pieces to enjoy. Work weekend signups are available on SignUP Genius. If you’d like to be part of an art team, leave your availability here and we’ll update the “event” as soon as we have 4 helpers. Thanks in advance! While this is shown as evening times, if you’re available daytimes, drop that in the responses too.

If you’ve got a box truck, or flatbed trailer, drop a line about that too.

AfterBurn: Tabula Rasa Temple & Effigy Crowdfunding Campaign

Burnt Oranges is devoted to cultivating interactive art through artist funding and advocacy, by creating supportive venues for interactive artists and performers, and through public education of interactive art.

For this year’s AfterBurn: Tabula Rasa event, the organization donated $5000 toward art, effigies, temples, and related expenses. We’re trying to raise some additional funds to ensure that the effigies being built have the materials they need, and we can’t do it without your help.

The event is funding two effigy projects. You can see and learn more about them on the web site at: https://burntoranges.org/currently-registered-art-projects-and-art-honoraria/

Josh Boyer is building a temple, and James Oleson is bringing a wire-framed project that’s covered in paraffin-dipped muslin fabric that will burn like a candle. We’re also burning last year’s “Shelter From the Tempest” pirate ship that Matthew George and the Palm Beach Burner Collective built.

While we’d like to have ticket costs cover these expenses, the budget for this year’s event is going toward infrastructure only. From Porto’s to Radios, Insurance to Land Rent, it’s all 100% tied up in making sure the event can happen.

Each year at Burning Man, particpants donate thousands toward the temple build teams, individual art projects, and help make them happen. So that we can continue to help these artists make their dreams a reality, we’re asking for your help. We promised artists that we’d help them with Crowdfunding Campaigns if they needed it. The Temples and Effigies need it.

We’ve donated the $5000 in seed money to art, with $2400 going directly to the builds, $2000 to art grants, and $500 budgeted toward additional fuel, sand to keep the grass from burning, and fire safety equipment. Read more about that in our previous post.

Your donations go directly to art, and not to funding anything else in the organization. If you’re an art supporter and would like to donate, every donation helps. We’d suggest a $5 minimum, but please give what you can afford.

Currently Registered Art Projects and Art Honoraria

Burnt Oranges provided a $5000 donation to the event in order to allow artists the opportunity to receive funding, for effigies to be included in the event, and for us to maintain our core beliefs in creating venues and funding for participatory art.
Last night, the following submitted projects were approved for art grant funding, pending receipt of the art grant agreement and W9 forms:
Art grant recipients will receive an 80% payment now, and a 20% final payment at their installation.
Additionally, Skeeter Free Zone was offered $250 toward the project, but declined due to lack of funds from their own crowdfunding campaign.
For the honoraria for Temples and Effigies, the following project received an honoraria:
  • James Oleson – Transcendence of the Hippocampus: $1200
  • And we’ll also be setting fire to the original shelter from the tempest from 2017:
Honoraria recipients will have funding available now to complete their projects.
The remaining funding will be used in the art budget for effigy fuel (firewood), safety equipment (fire extinguishers), Sand bases, lighting, and other related expenses.
All submitted projects were funded to a certain degree, and we’d like to also thank Lance Barbour for registering his project, “Augmented Reality Sandbox“, that he’ll be bringing back and using the projector that was purchased in 2017 for art department project use.
