Of course I am a reincarnation of Groucho Marx, and the camp is called "You Bet Your Life.... Purpose!" Just to get you thinking, the catagories for Jeopardy contestants will be Fame-Money- Intamacy and Chocolate. So study Up. ***We are in need of some contestants...and If you think you were Vanna WHite in a previous or future life, please apply for a position....(pay attention to the man behind the green curtain.) -- Zeff, August 23, 1997 at 2:12a

Beware the Red Queen! Follow the White Rabbit to us, somewhere in the south. -- Steven Hoblit, August 22, 1997 at 10:44a

***===> NO FEZ CAMP <===*** Marvel as a dozen or so people lie around half drunk on lawn chairs taking turns shouting through a bullhorn WITHOUT WEARING A SINGLE FEZ. Oh, and they do some stuff derived from an ancient Sumerian shaman crystal-based ritual which symbolizes the fact that they've read more new-age literature than thou. -- Lazlo Panaflex, August 22, 1997 at 9:49a

I submitted a request to create a No-Tanline camp, and while they approved the idea of us being NUDE, we were past the deadline, all the camp assignments were made, maps printed. They've told us if we can find a place, we can have our camp. Hopefully we will have an offer to share someone else's space before BM begins. Otherwise, it's been suggestted to check the bulletin board in the center of camp where we can post a notice about our location. I don't expect to arrive until late Friday afternoon. I'm expecting a dozen or so people. Web page is on the way with more details. -- Charlie, August 15, 1997 at 0:48a

My brother and I, have considered establishing a camp. Our ideas are to either have a bad Vegas lounge act camp, with all the expected sleaze, or an interactive game show camp.We're looking to get feed back from anyone that might want to join us.Our outline is sketchy, and time is drawing near, so any ideas and interest would help. Reno, Nev. -- Monty Doehring, July 23, 1997 at 6:15p

A few of us are planning to attend the festivities this year.... and not being completely informed on all the ins and outs... I was just curious, can you make the decision fo which camp/village you may wish to join... AFTER you get there???? Any enlightening tips as the this related topic and any other would be greatly appreciated...Thanks -- Jen, July 3, 1997 at 10:54a

Jen and others whom it may concern: participation is more a factor of helping and being helped by others at Black Rock City. The only "rules" regarding participation in a camp are those laid out and discussed by the camp founders themselves. Most would be happy to have you help them construct their projects, provided the vision and drive are there. I, for one, am planning an Aliceum Camp with about 8 to 10 others and would gladly welcome contributions. But theme camps take a great deal of planning and sweat to build, and most people (including me) would not appreciate people taking advantage of their hard work without substantial prior contribution. It's a participatory thing, not a spectator event. The best way to decide upon joining a theme camp is to talk to those involved in its creation: what are their goals, visions, and what work is needed. Subscribe to the various mail lists. Get involved! -- Steven, July 3, 1997 at 4:47p

If you where astounded by the appearance of a motoized paraglider in the sky at last years festival, or saw a photo of it in a magazine or book, you can find us (and B Man photos) at airtekusa.com. We can also teach you how to fly at our school in San Diego, CA. Take'air, and see you soon, Sebastian. -- Sebastian Hassell, July 2, 1997 at 10:44a

BEAN KING/FERN PEOPLE: Thanks for all the beans last year! That was all I had to eat except from some shrooms the whole weekend. Maybe that's why I almost croaded. The Fern Grotto was my favorite theme camp.........Wow! -- Marvin M. Devine III, June 20, 1997 at 7:29a
