Below is a letter from Bman on theme camps.
I will try to forward them to camp mates via E-mail,
but will also try to post them here as they come.
If you are not on the camp email list, send your address to

Hi Theme Camps,

pass
it on to your camp mates.

WORK RANCH STORAGE
Some of you are aware that Burning Man owns property near The
Black
Rock desert and in the past we have been able to allow people to
store things there post event. As of last year we have been
working
very hard to clean our property up and comply with the county
codes
that affect us. In one year we have disposed of literally tones
of
materials, vehicles and buildings.
We're hopeful that as we cooperate with county officials, we will
be
able to use our property in the ways that best support our
year-round
activities. Our future plans include offering storage to theme
camps
and art projects, but for this year we will again be asking that
everyone plan to take everything brought to Black Rock City home
again. In our ongoing effort to improve our Work Ranch property
Burning Man will NOT be accepting donations of mattresses,
couches,
rebar, lumber or any other not-quite-working equipment and the
like,
as they sometimes have in years past. We will be accepting food
donations as people leave as always.
Only those individuals with new approved Property Use Agreements,
signed by a Black Rock City LLC member, will be allowed to bring
materials, containers or vehicles onto the Work Ranch. Anything
left
in Black Rock City without an agreement will be disposed of.
Please
be responsible for all of your belongings and leave nothing
behind.
If we keep our nose to the grind stone we will eventually reach
our
goals and our property will be a place that everyone can benefit
from.

PYRO on the PLAYA
This is a friendly reminder that even though we are a fire-art
event
pyrotechnics are illegal in Nevada. We have a licensed
pyro-technician that works with the State to allow the Man to go
up
with style every year and this is the one exception to the law
that
is allowed. Since 9/11 things have heated up and there has been a
Safe Explosives Act enacted that MAY make law enforcement more
likely
to issue tickets and fines. This is not the year to bring your
homemade fireworks, or try to push the State limits.
Questions? Email pyro@burningman.com

DPW Support
All theme camps need to make any requests for support through
their
theme camp placers. Any requests made directly to DPW will be
routed
back to us, so we may as well save the time and effort for
everyone.
Ask your placers any questions about any particular needs.

DELIVERIES on the Playa
I sent this out once already, but I am getting questions on it
still,
so here it is again.......
If your camp must receive a delivery from the outside world on
the
playa you must clear it with the Gate crew and manage the process
yourself. You will need to meet the delivery at the Gate and
escort
them to your camp and back out of our city again. A credit card
will
be required of the driver before he is allowed to enter our city.
One
ticket per passenger will be charged to it. If the delivery
vehicle
leaves the city with in four hours the charges will be reversed.
Cash will be accepted instead of a credit card. If someone from
your
camp is not at the Gate when your delivery arrives they will be
turned away.
We recommend you:
The Gate staff will LOVE you for this!

1. Prepare your delivery driver to ask for you at the Gate when
he
arrives. Give him as much information as possible about what to
expect upon arrival.
2. Travel to the Gate before your delivery is due and introduce
yourself to the Gate staff. Wait for your driver.
3. Escort your delivery in and out.
