Camping with Illumination
Village in 2006
----------------------------------------------------
In 2006, we’re building a better Illumination Village,
while
supporting the old school village we love. To fund our village
plans, we need to up the ante. In previous years we’ve
asked for
ridiculously small contributions. Last year, for instance,
the
request was that each camper contributed $15. Wow, that’s
what it
costs to park in a garage in downtown SF for a couple of
hours...
This year, we’re asking for $50 from each camper.
If $50 still seems
cheap, we’d gladly put whatever additional funds you
can contribute
to good use.

We need your help NOW!

Your camping fee contribution is about supporting a village
that you
love, that you care about, that you’re a part of.
We’re all proud of
being a piece of the village’s legacy, now’s
the time turn that
pride into a contribution that gives Illumination Village
the
freedom to evolve to next level. Let’s build a healthy
community
that provides its members with a playa home that’s
a blast to be a
part of, that’s powerful, vibrant, alive and full
of fire.
This year we are trying to purchase a generator for the
Village. We
have already acquired the cables & spider boxes –
thanks to several
generous contributions. We will be looking for a very large
(40kW
range), whisper quiet diesel generator at auction. The auctions
are
happening now. Illumination Village camping fees are due
to
Jessica’s Paypal account ASAP. We have to get our
funds in place
immediately in order to make this happen and we’re
counting on you,
so please don’t delay.

The legacy of Illumination
Village
----------------------------------------------------
2006 is the Illumination Village’s 12th anniversary
on the playa.
Over those last dozen years Illumination Village has become
a
community. It’s an active community of wickedly dedicated
artists,
and hardcore fans of fire. It’s a village that’s
incredibly cool to
be a part of. We’re a powerful force on the playa;
building,
supporting and burning some of the best and biggest art
the playa
has ever seen. The Illumination Village is old school fire.
We bring
fuel, we bring energy, we bring art, and we burn it. BRC
loves what
we do, loves that we keep the big fires burning, loves that
we mix
fire and steel. We’ve built a reputation over the
years, and this
year we’re adding powerful new legends to that legacy.
A team of us are putting the proposal together, asking
for a huge
plot of space so we can be less cramped than last year.
We’ve
developed a map to justify our request and layout some roads
for
better vehicle access, a bikeway to get back into our camps,
and of
course, an esplanade keyhole full of sculpture and fire.
We’ll have
dedicated areas for small tents, buses and parking, with
zones for
performance projects, art projects, art cars and large scale
sculptures. We’ll be on the esplanade and dedicating
the frontage to
show all of BRC what we bring to the playa. Plus we’ll
be investing
in infrastructure so we don’t keep tossing money away
on wickedly
expensive rentals of generators and power grids. It’ll
be an amazing
village, our home on the playa, but we need your help. Please
send
your camping fees now!
Thanks!
- Your mayors -
Jessica, Karen and Steve
