7/15/01 Meeting Notes

Who is on eville-infra list (at most) One member from each theme camp what about single campers? 1-person camps included if they choose to sign up Rename list so that it suggests planning, not actual building Village layout: Euphoria, Lena, Lily should have clear path running through (since we don't have sideage on streets) dimensions are 300x400, at 8:45 between esplanade and Infant let's map the path, the large structures, and the open spaces need to know who will be there early to place structures at setup time (discuss on list) let's try not to over-commit our space, so that setup/placement will be less stressful should beacon be on the playa across from camp, or in camp? Creates open space w/in camp, but by same token takes up lots of space Suggestion: have beacon in center of camp, open space around, theme camps opening inward toward it? Would need 90' square area - maybe too much Other thoughts for central area: Bluehouse shade structure? need date for draft: August 3rd further discussion moved to eville-infra list Sound policy frontage of camp planned to be dance area w/ moderate sound system except now Bluehouse may not bring their stage no louder than last year don't respond to requests to "turn it up, man" do respond to requests to turn it down Power: Dan Cohn, Kitts layout people need to include place for generators Kitts has ideas for centralized generator system Big power needs: fridges, lights, Comfort, sound system Plea for no noisy 5-kw generators Sev pledges $1K toward the effort Already have cable, etc in warehouse Update by 8/3 Shared assets Ethan owns the bins Mez owns the contents Consider it part of Comfort camp. Mez wants to find a new storage location Tracey, Mason, and Kitts will be helping locate Need inventory for crap in warehouse and bins Coe will help with weekday inventory Warehouse runs: we have promised that we'll only have 3-4 people there at once; weekends are way more expensive Mason will see to construction of Stuff Tent Discuss on stuff-l Water shared vs distributed? Lily used Simply Water in Reno--they have lg drums we could pick up there Bringing water from home feels more safe--no risk of getting to Reno and having order lost Large drums are heavy Bring empty ones (w/spigots), fill with 5-gal bottles? Could also try Sacramento, etc. Water coolers are a Good Thing but require power. Possibly go in on large order, distribute transport, share usage Mason put order in last year, would do so this year Adam might be willing to contribute but not lead Dave Lockhart (and John) might fly to Reno, rent a truck, and bring water Ties to stuff transport Mason coordinate with David and John to determine plan Stuff transport: Tom? ~truck cost = $15/sq yd Lily is organizing a truck; pay her per how much stuff you want transported Leaving on Thurs (8/23), return Monday (9/3) DanS and Lena likewise Leaving on Friday (8/24), return Sunday (9/2) noon-ish But they need to leave Sunday morning, so can't take any of the major structures unless they find an alternate return driver remember how heavy water is lg vehicle drivers should submit POR to the list Personal stuff vs inventory and large shared structures Leo (and Adam and Spike and Leon) will drive a large vehicle, but not be responsible for finding and loading Could get bigger trucks, use drivers with permits (Kitts and Leo) Semi?? Tom will organize? Add theme camp arrival/departure dates to online form People transport and vehicle policy Eric knows of place to rent 15-person passenger vans Heather strongly suggests NOT trying to coordinate large groups Car policy: park on-site for load/unload, then move it the hell out of the way Need to communicate that to the others camping with us, but as a policy but not a mandate We should post this stuff on the web site, too. Layout chix will be responsible for disseminating this info what about RVs? Layout chix need to know how many there will be Policy for adding more theme camps currently have ~14 camps, ~150 people we've lost about 140 people from last year (ALN, DeNile, Fey Abbey, eVille General Hospital) let's cap population at 200 further additions go through the Cabal need to get more of the non-Mezbian theme camp members on to eVille-d and maybe have a mezbian-only list as well (eVille-Mezbians ?) and an eVille-announce list that the Cabal posts decisions to Clean-up policy make sure every camp is signed up to do thorough cleanup of their area before you leave, your camp must have left no trace, plus contribute time to group effort Tom is dealing with Comfort garbage (with Kat) Last year's trash receptacles are in the warehouse Need volunteer to take trash to dump, recyclables Let's discourage glass containers
