Really old jazz will be played on utterly tiny, low-tech, analog equipment. Polyrhythms will be encouraged. Polyamory will be gleefully tolerated. Polyester will be removed.

We Camp Vault have taken the proper arrangements to provide several hundred Burners with the venomous citrus soda with dangerously high levels of caffeine.

Be entwined in vine, next to nature and bloom in a way that makes it easy being green! We are flower children of the sixties seeking soilmates any age. Grazing in the grass is a gas - can you dig it? Are you interested in participating? Our first theme camp originated at Transformus and has continued to be a great success. We are seeking participants that are artists, musicians, mask makers, costume makers, body painters, puppeteers, earth nymphs and anyone with a strong inclination toward creativity with a green flair! Do wear green, design your own fig leaf and at the very lest wear a flower in your hair!

The center pole with face and fabric body will need someone reasonably strong. The Dragon of Mysteria will also be participating again this year in the Burn.

Camp Fairy Vomit
Coordinator: Janiene West
Fairy Vomit chill space: Open to Fairy Vomit campers, it's a separated space with low key music, seating, and a hopefully chill atmosphere for those moments when you need to regroup, catch your breath and marshal resources before heading back out into the creative madness of Alchemy. Daily LNT/decorative workshops: Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 2:00, come and see how easy it is to decorate and sparkle without MOOP, or talk about other LNT topics:
LNT sweep training/protips every day @4:00 PM
LNT sweeps every day @ 5:00
While everyone commits to LNT by entering into Alchemy, some things invariably get away from even the most conscientious of burners. Volunteers are needed to sweep the grounds; contribute to the burn by helping keep the environment clean and beautiful. Gloves and bags provided.
LNT mixers on Thursday and Friday after the MOOP sweep:
Open to any LNT volunteers and anyone to learn more about LNT and Camp Fairy Vomit. We will offer sweet and savory snacks (vegetarian), soft drinks, and alcoholic beverages for those over 21 (be prepared to prove it if asked). The mixers will start at 6:00 PM and include some favorites from last year like Sangria and the Devil Brew.
Sound like fun? Great, that's what we were hoping for! If you'd like to camp with us, we ask you commit to at least one MOOP sweep (30 minutes to an hour). You don't have to camp with us to volunteer, and you don't have to volunteer to stop by and see what we're all about. We hope to see you there!

Let the looping system do all the work while you have all the fun. Can you play a rhythm for four seconds? Sure you can! We’ll sample your performance and loop it back at you instantly. Now you’ve got your own back-beat. What are you going to add? Be your own percussion band! Select a variety of instruments as you build polyrhythmic creations on the fly. Imagine five of you playing together in rhythmic cooperation. Be a drumming army of one! Bring your own drums and other instruments, or come empty-handed because we provide a fine collection of drums and related instruments. Walk away with a CD recording of your creation and share your music with friends and family using any CD player in your car or home. Join other participants on the Unofficial Alchemy 2011 Compilation CD and receive your copy of the collection in the mail several weeks after the event. With your permission, your recording along with other compilation pieces will be posted online in MP3 format for free downloading and listening by anyone. What can be accomplished under a tarp in a windy field? Just listen to some of last year's recordings: http://soundcloud.com/tracks/search?q[fulltext]=rhythm+burner+experience&q[type]=&q[duration]= I'm particularly fond of track 6, Niko Tierra's piece ... bear in mind that you are listening to the work of a single musician!
