Jack Rabbit Speaks
Volume 11, Issue 11
June 14, 2007
It's the fourth annual Resource Issue!
UNSUBSCRIBERS: Please scroll to te bottom for directions on self-removal.
Here it is!
There are lots of great resources out there that can help you prepare
for Burning Man. Some of them are below. Rather than mention them
piecemeal, we gather these postings and put them all together in a
single issue so you can refer back to it rather than going crazy
searching for individual posts.
Our annual clarification: Lots of vendors from within the community
contact the Rabbits asking us to let our readers know about discounts or
playa goodies they offer that you just can't get anywhere else...well,
some of our readers love to hear about this stuff, but some don't, and
many don't want to get these offers with their regular JRS news. Thus,
we created the once-a-year RESOURCE ISSUE. Those of you that want to
hear about deals, discounts, and playa goodies, read on! Those that
don't - hit delete, and your sensibilities shall be spared. Regular JRS
will be back next week!
But, before we dive in: your Rabbit friends remind you that preparing
for Burning Man doesn't have to equal a no-holds-barred consumer frenzy.
In the year of the Green Man, our job more than ever is to encourage you
toward thoughtfulness as you prepare, with an eye to the footprint we'll
all leave on AND off the playa. So take the time to THINK about what
you'll need for your playa project and your survival, and ways to get it
while still making less of an impact. What do you already have? What can
you repurpose? Remember: reduce, reuse, recycle, rethink, repair,
refill...reflect on your consumption and think about the theme as you
prepare. It matters.
We've also listed some resources below to help you consider your project
in a greener light. Please take a moment to see if there's some way you
can cross off some items on your preparation list WITHOUT setting foot
in a big box store or buying unnecessary junk. And finally, remember:
the best gift is not a plastic trinket, but a genuine piece of you that
speaks to who you are, and you don't have to spend a dime to give of
yourself. THINK.
Now, then...in case you were wondering, what the resource issue ISN'T is
a list of "Burning Man recommended" vendors, deals, or events. We
basically include everyone who gets us a post by the deadline (though
it's a safe bet that all those listed are JRS subscribers, at least). WE
can't say we've used these vendors ourselves, nor are we recommending
one over the other -- our job is sharing information, not endorsing
particular businesses here. If you're curious about a vendor, ask your
friends or post on your local list, ePlaya or on Tribe, etc.
Of course, if we're especially hot about something, we'll say so: for
example: one burner enterpreneur that wrote to us works with an awesome
material called GlowFur, and from it, created a very special, very
groovy glow bracelet for your playa nighttime safety and glowlumination
this year. It's cool-lookin' stuff, to be sure, but why are the Rabbits
so excited about one little glowy bracelet? Because, friends, GlowFur is
donating ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the profits from the sale of these
bracelets to the Black Rock Art Foundation
(http://www.blackrockarts.org)!! No strings, no catch - you buy a
bracelet and rock it on the playa (or anywhere else), and 100% of the
profit goes to BRAF to help fund year-round interactive art in local
communities like yours! Now that's impressive. (We're also very happy
that David from GlowFur bothered to look around for an affordable
battery op solution for illuminating the fur, opting away from the use
of disposable glow sticks in this bracelet and creating playa-bling you
can re-rock night after night! Big ups to David for taking the time for
that search.)
But there's more here for your preparation fun. Playa wear galore (lots
of sales for JRS readers); discount truck rental for burning
transportation; heck, we've even got mannequin parts for you. Check it
out, and have fun as you get ready. We're almost there!
We'll be back next week with our regularly scheduled update on our
upcoming trip to the playa - where the Man will burn only 80 days from
now (oh my word I have to stop staring at that number. Did I just type
that? Whoa!)

BEFORE YOU SHOP...READ UP ON GREEN BUILDING AND REUSED/RECYCLED RESOURCES!
It's true...you really can build your camp or project without ever
setting foot in a big box store, and rescue objects that might otherwise
have headed to the landfill while you do it. Ask David Best, who saw the
beauty in scrap wood castoff from a puzzle factory and turned them into
a true Burning Man phenomenon with the Temples: recycled materials make
for beautiful, meaningful art.
THIS is a sampling of linked Bay Area/Regional resources for
recycled/reused building materials; most municipalities have their own
recycling coordinators that can direct residents to local resources like
these. Hit up Google or your local recycling center for suggestions in
your area, and if you know of them, share them on your local discussion
lists!

camp essentials. WE ALSO REMIND YOU: Just because it's biodegradable

CAMP N' PLAY SAFE
"We are specializing in quality items, mostly from the professional
safety industry, that are very applicable to extreme camping conditions
like Burning Man. We started using some of this gear ourselves for
Burning Man and realized other people might want easy access to this
level of gear in 1 convenient location. We are carrying everything from
high end glow sticks, to quality flashlights and strobes, to first aid
kits, welder's burn kits, stylish safety glasses, particulate
respirators (aka DUST MASKS that breathe easier), ear plugs to give away
or keep the music out of your head while you try to sleep,cases to keep
the playa out of your electronics, and basic work gloves -- all the
way up to welding gloves and safety hats. We can also help you get any
high-end safety items you might be looking for, just drop us a line."

O'NEILL RENTS TRUCKS
Still need a truck to haul your stuff from the Bay Area? While not every
rental house is playa friendly, this one even offers a discount to
burners who promise to bring back the trucks CLEAN.
San Rafael - 424 Irwin Street (415) 456-3252
Oakland - Corner of 7th St. & MLK Under Freeway (510) 375-0167
20% Discount off Standard Truck Rental for all Burners (Ask for Burning
Man Discount)
Again, you MUST say the rental is for Burning Man, and you MUST promise
to take the vehicle to a car wash and return it clean.
(General tip about trucks: every truck that's returned dirty and dusty
to ANY vendor is a black mark on the Burning Man community as a whole,
and another vendor who might decide not to rent to burners any more next
year....so be conscientious...clean out your rental truck!)
**<>/**<>/**<>/**<>/**<>/**<>/**<>/***<>/**<>/**<>/**<>/**
CHEMICALS, BROTHER
Fire artists: here's a burner friendly place to find your "paints"! This
vendor is in San Leandro so there is no Hazmat charge if you will-call
the items. He stocks chemicals in bulk. You must call ahead one day for
small orders, under 100#'s. Many of the artists may remember Mark -- he
worked at Bryant Labs in Berkeley until they went out of business. We
are told he is very friendly to the artist community.

BURNER BIKES IN RENO
From the Reno Kiwanis club: "OK it's a leap of faith, and we hope it
doesn't bury us. The Black Rock Bikes folks donate bikes to us, and we
(Kiwanis Bike Program) fix them up for kids. We get bikes donated from
the Reno area all year as well. This means we have more than a hundred
bikes that are not good for kids, but are great for Burners. We don't
want to worry about rental return, so we'll sell them to you for $30,
$40 or $50 depending on how good and how cool the bike is.
If you bring them back after you're done, we'll be super-grateful, and
we'll re-use them this year for sure, but if not, that's ok too. If you
want to see how we use the proceeds for our bikes for kids programs, our
web site is http://www.kiwanisbikes.org. Check us out and help us out.
Bikes only -- no other items -- no bike racks or decorations. Send us
an email early to kiwanis_bikes@sbcglobal.net and we can reserve one for
you for the price you tell us until we run out. We plan to have more
than a hundred bikes ready for the big day -- so let us know early!
If you want to take a chance that we still have bikes when you get to
Reno, come by our shop at 2605 Comstock in Reno and see what we still
have. Or stop by and say hi even if you don't need a bike and see what
we're doing for kids from Gerlach to Fallon and for our own Reno kids as
well. We'll be at the shop the week before Burning Man from 10-5 daily.
Reno: If you want to share in the fun early and decorate a bike for the
Tour de Nez Decorated Bike Contest, check out their site and enter your
bike. We'll have prizes for best decorated and some other fun prizes on
June 16 and your bike will be part of the parade of decorated bikes at
the Tour. It would be a great chance to kick off your artwork early and
put your unique bike in our contest at the Tour. Join the fun and help
us let folks know that we're making biking a reality for kids in the
Reno area."

PLAYATECH ANNOUNCES 2006 "GREEN HOME" FURNITURE LINE OF THE FUTURE!
Shareware you can sit on!
"Playatech is pleased to announce the long awaited introduction of its
BM06 'Green Home' Furniture Line of the Future! Delayed a year by hope
and fear, the Green Home line includes everything needed to furnish a
home for $500, move in one minivan load, and save the planet while
you're at it. It rocks for Burning Man too! Check it out now at
http://www.Playatech.com.
The new Playatech line features three dozen radically cool furniture and
entertainment products anyone can fabricate entirely from standard
plywood, and every one collapses flat for shipment. Yes, all the
furniture for a 2 bedroom house or large bar camp will fit in one mini-van!
According to Playatech founder Sunshine, 'At BM05, Playatech launched
the Playa Love Seat, Playa Pew, and Larry Boy Lounger to insane acclaim.
We changed camp seating forever, but we failed to kill IKEA - so we
huddled and muddled and redesigned every piece of furniture you need to
live, work, and play!' The new line includes a sofa that converts to a
queen bed, daybeds that push together into playpens, bars you can dance
on, and a dinette that turns into a den. Even recycled 1972 designs we
found in a book.
All Green Home products turn you into an artist, and are radically
cheap, easy to own, and available exclusively from Playatech -- the
world's only brand built on the 10 Burning Man Principles. And they're
GREEN! Exterior plywood is 95-99% renewable wood, much of which now
comes from FSC-Certified sustainable forests, and the rest is relatively
innocuous glue. Playatech eliminates factories, packaging, end-product
distribution, retail stores, exploited child labor, and nearly all bad
things capitalism introduces between nature's end product and your rear end.
What's more: when your furniture has outlived its usefulness, UNLIKE a
regular couch, the entire energy content of Green Home furniture can be
cleanly recovered as useful heat in a proper furnace - it is food for
giant Mechabolic slugs! If burned in an open fire, the wood puts out
more noxious fumes than the glue.
Playatech offers great green furniture for your mobile lifestyle that
obsoletes landfills, at an unbelievable price! And that is no Silicon
Valley pipedream.

From the organizers: "Prepare for the Playa is a 3 Sundays event (first
was held June 10) that connects you to burner owned businesses, products
and services to help you prepare for the desert. We will also have
Performing Artists, Informational Booths, How-To Demonstrations and even
a Fashion Show. The Bar will be open and they are featuring a special
Bloody Mary for the day. (YUMMY) And, you can enter to win a ticket to
BM 07. The proceeds of the raffle will be going to BRAF.
If you would like to be one of our Vendors, Performing Artists or How-To
Demonstrators let us know. This event is to help promote YOU or your
camp, too.
