Burning Man Update: The Jack Rabbit Speaks
RESOURCE ISSUE #2
Volume 11, Issue #13
JULY 5, 2007
MORE RESOURCES
Hello from a wonderfully hot July in Gerlach, where this rabbit has a
quick holiday-week layover...beautiful playa sunset last night. Getting
excited yet?
To the reader: here's your second dose of RESOURCE madness for your
preparation planning, to fix some posts and update things we missed.
We're catching up on the unsubscribes from those who wrote last week
with a new batch - thanks for your patience!
To our resource-vending friends who squeaked into this highly unusual
second issue by virtue of the one or two posts we actually missed: next
year's deadline will very likely be June 1 again, FYI. Mark your
calendar now, and don't miss out!
Back with a regular issue soon...58 days until the burn!

BOGO SOLAR FLASHLIGHT - BUY ONE, GET ONE...
We love the light and the concept - check it out:
"The BoGo Light is a scientific, eco-friendly breakthrough that is
making an impact worldwide. BoGo means Buy one, Give one. We want our
lights to benefit the less fortunate; therefore, with each light
purchased in the developed world, a second identical light will be
donated to an organization that will distribute it in the developing
world with our direct financial support. Give the Gift of Light, and
Help Us Change the World!
Why does light matter?
Two billion people living in the developing world rely on kerosene
lanterns, candles, and single-use battery flashlights for light at
night. Not only are these options expensive, dangerous, and harmful to
the environment, they also negatively impact health, education, and
security."

TWO PARTICIPANT SUGGESTIONS: LIGHTS LIGHTS LIGHTS
Editorial from a participant: "Ok, so now that you put out the resource
issue, all the cats like me who've been distracted have another thing to
add. Is there a place we can post additional resources for shtuff? I
have two more items about lighting sources:
Polybrite makes hand-held wands, vests, and collars with with bright
LED's that run on AA batteries. Burly with great colors. I got mine at
Homeland Associates, Inc. at an aviation convention. Wasn't big on the
company name, but the people are cool, and the lights are impressive.
http://www.homelandassociates.com/products/polybrite.htm
The other's the Pak-Lite, a terrific light on top of a 9-volt with two
bright leds. Not cheap (about $25), but lasts forever, as long as you
don't lose it. But make sure to have it out if you get on an airplane;
they fussed with my bag for 15 minutes before giving it back, light in
hand. http://www.9voltlight.com "
