‘Cause all you really need is a tissue and a plan… Lost? Confused? Runny nose? Don’t know what to go do next? In its inaugural year, Camp Tissue and a Plan is dedicated to making sure no burner wanders the playa without a clear plan and a clean tissue. All week long we will have a goodly supply of tissues each with a different plan written on them. We figure that every burner could use a spare tissue, and many could have anywhere from casual to dire need of a plan. We will also be hosting a number of planned events that we would like you to attend! From “Mojito Monday” to “Dance till you Die,” and for those really tricky questions.. you will have an opportunity to “Ask the Monkey”.
