**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/** Well, we’re in the final stretch, folks. DPW is laying down the last bits of the foundation of Black Rock City, the final piece of the Temple of Whollyness is in place (see John Curley’s story: http://bit.ly/13RRH92), and what we hope are the last of the dramatic thunderstorms (http://bit.ly/1asDC9C) are passing through the area, leaving a forecast that promises clear skies and a solid playa surface for the event week. But that could change. At any moment. That’s how it goes around these parts. Ya just roll with it.

This will be our last JRS of the 2013 event season, and we thank you for your kind attention to the verbal onslaught we’re unleashed on you this year. We hope you’ve found inspiration and helpful information in the mix … we’ve certainly enjoyed bringing it all to you.

From all of us on the Jackrabbit team, we thank you for doing the amazing things you do, and we wish you the best Burn yet. We’ll see you on the playa. Very soon.

The Man burns in 10 days!

WHERE TO TAKE YOUR TRASH AND RECYCLING AFTER THE BURN

Some of the more valuable reading you’ll do to prepare for Burning Man: learn where to take your TRASH and RECYCLING after the Burn. And where NOT TO.

GUESS WHAT? IT’S DARK AT NIGHT

BREAKING: It’s dark at night. Double Newsflash: You’re dark at night, too. Molly Ditmore has the latest. http://bit.ly/14vlEf6

BLACK ROCK CITY CENSUS GOES ONLINE

The Black Rock City Census team writes:

“The only thing constant is change …

Over time, the data gathering methods of the Census have progressed from an exclusively paper survey distributed on playa and required manual input of responses to the combination of a paper survey, a random sampling of Burners and online surveys. In 2013, the Census team will be gathering data via a random sampling at the Gate during ingress and exodus and a post-event online survey.

The Census is online …

The Census will be available online Tuesday after the Burn (September 3) at http://census.burningman.com. We would love to receive your responses and welcome your input. The online Census fosters the immediacy principle of Burning Man and enables BRC citizens to access the Census independently of their preferences in terms of Burning Man experiences. It also allows the Census to be more eco-conscious by reducing the need for printed forms. Further, eliminating the paper form means removing the need for data entry and drastically reducing data errors due to manual entry.

The random sampling during ingress and exodus …

Because data from the online Census is biased toward people that independently choose to complete the online survey, the random sampling of Burners at the Gate yields data that drastically improves representativeness, validity and trustworthiness of all results produced by the Census. The randomness of the cars selected to participate in a paper form of the Census is predetermined. Professional statisticians advise as to the days, times and selection interval for random sampling.

The end result …

We want to hear from you! Census aims to provide the most accurate and thorough data possible. By employing the online Census and random sampling during ingress and exodus, relatively unbiased results about BRC population can be presented.

Please visit us at Census Lab located in Center Camp near Media Mecca. You can view all data collected last year and Census Burners hope to answer your questions and provide information about the service we provide. There will also be information about the Census in the Greeter packet. We hope you are inclined to participate in the online Census or at the Gate should your car be randomly selected.

Hope you have a great Burn!”

BMIR IS CRANKING OUT THE TUNES AND THE INFOS

More than 100 theme camp promos and playa safety messages are now on the air at BMIR, Burning Man Information Radio.

Tune in here: http://www.bmir.org/ and go here to find out more about BMIR and how to listen to BMIR as you travel to the playa:

**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**

OOOH OOOH OOOH! I WANT TO DRIVE ON THE PLAYA!

A public service announcement about driving on the playa from the Intercept Crew of the Black Rock Rangers:

If you are not authorized to drive on the playa, DON’T DRIVE during Burning Man. The ONLY people who ARE authorized to drive on the playa are registered mutant vehicles with visible licensure from the Department of Mutant Vehicles, artists placing art on the Playa with permits from the Artery, registered disabled persons displaying licensure and a placard, and limited staff vehicles.

ALWAYS operate your APPROVED vehicle in a safe manner. Remember, Black Rock City is primarily a BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN CITY. Take that in to account when operating a mutant vehicle.

Our established community standard is for vehicles to operate at 5 MPH or less. The unique characteristics of many mutated vehicles require drivers to exercise particular care when faced with limited peripheral vision and/or loading and unloading passengers. Please take this into consideration.

All of the laws and restrictions that apply to driving in the default world also apply on the playa. Additionally, playa conditions require that all vehicles STOP during white-out conditions, that you not drive on wet roads, and that you operate at speeds of even less than 5MPH if your vehicle is creating a dust plume in its wake.

Remember, in Black Rock City, driving is a privilege. More information about driving protocols can be found here:

**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**/**

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH OPEN CONTAINER ON MUTANT VEHICLES?

Keith, a 7-year art car owner/operator, wrote us a helpful email about operating a mutant vehicle on playa, based on his direct experience (and not all in a good way):

“WHAT IS OPEN CONTAINER ON AN ART CAR?
If the art car has NO separated cabin from the rest of the vehicle (e.g. a floating bed) then technically there can be no visible open container on the vehicle. This gets very tricky with certain vehicles especially if the driver’s SEPARATION is somewhat subjective and if the driver relies on someone else to allow people aboard. Also throw in the factor of a guest pulling out their drink (or other substance) of choice out of view of driver and/or first mate, and then you have a ticket waiting to happen.

And guess what? The driver can get written up separate, cumulative fines for every different substance that is found on the vehicle. Each person possessing the substances also gets written up for what is individually found.

And while if you cooperate, you just usually get a ticket, getting caught can end your Burn, especially if the substance found is drug based, because of special Federal laws procedures pertaining to certain forms of possession. If they cannot identify the substance and don’t trust your description, or you cannot or will not provide ID, you are in for a ride to Reno.

WHAT IS LEGITIMATE PROBABLE CAUSE?
That is any obvious alcoholic beverage with a label, or any obvious drug use, but also the SMELL of any obvious drug use. That will get you boarded and searched. But it could and has also been stretched to when someone is drinking out of a plastic/glass type receptacle that is typical of a bar environment (martini glass) and is displaying inebriation.

Depending on the agency, they usually search the rest of the vehicle (or call in the agency that can). Many past citations from past years are related to these issues. Obviously it doesn’t always go down the same way but there are certain procedures law enforcement uses.”

BLACK ROCK CITY NAVIGATION APP FOR IPHONE

We have not vetted this — like at all — so your mileage may vary (so to speak). And for that matter, we prefer getting lost. But hey, it’s up to you. Ali writes:

“We’ve made a free navigation app for iPhone (no ads, no nothing) and it can help you find your way around the Playa. It doesn’t use cell service or roads. It uses the built-in compass to point you to where you’re going and tell you how far you are. You can mark your home or any other place you wanna find later. If you somehow get cell service or wi-fi, you can even send them to other burners. A lot people downloaded it last year and gave us great feedback so we’ve improved it a lot. Here’s where you can get it: http://bit.ly/12hYcjp , or just search for ‘Falcon’ on the app store.”

CARGO CULTS, TRUE BELIEVERS AND POLYAMORY

Leeanna writes:

“Presentation by Sexual Anthropologist, Dr. Leanna Wolfe at 3:30 PM on Saturday August 31 at Poly Paradise

Papua New Guinea became the homeland for numerous Cargo Cults when once isolated native Melanesians witnessed military cargo drops during WWII. The locals noted how the military personnel would be seated at desks, scribble notes on scraps of paper and voila cargo would drop from the sky. The magical concept was infectious in that the Melanesian Big Men (chiefs) gained prestige by trafficking in the procurement and dispersal of goods. Oblivious to First World manufacturing and trade practices they assumed that these very light-skinned people who dressed in military fatigues were practicing magic. To procure cargo for themselves, the locals attempted to dress like these foreign magicians and replicated airplanes, rifles and radios out of thatch and coconuts. Sadly for them no cargo dropped from the skies.

People who are drawn to the practice of Polyamory can be seen as sharing a parallel belief system to the members of Cargo Cults. For both groups, belief is central to their practice. Poly people believe many things about how intimacy ought to be negotiated that are diametrically opposed to what mainstream people believe. They encourage transparency, disclosure and joyful acceptance of new lovers into their home relationships and families. Like the members of Melanesian Cargo Cults, they celebrate the supposed positive outcomes of sharing ones beloved with others.

One of the cornerstone beliefs of practitioners of polyamory is compersion, the notion that embracing one’s partner’s other love-interests is a good thing. Mainstream people would consider such a practice unthinkable and the outcome foolhardy if not downright dangerous. Meanwhile polyamorous people embrace the intricate processing that these otherwise jealous-provoking behaviors can engender. Cheating, the more standard mainstream practice carries a diametrically distinct belief system from polyamory but a very similar goal: love in abundance falling from the sky! Akin to cargo cult magic, they both hope to maintain the safety, love and security of their home relationships while kindling exciting dopamine sparks with outside lovers.”

PEACE OF A TREE

Sky writes:

“A worldwide movement toward world peace. Peace in your mind, peace among your community, and peace among nations and cultures. You may call it a collective meditation, a collective prayer, or whatever you like.

The agency of this message intends for all its recipients to share a collective vision. Peace is a pure concept for people of all cultures and languages to envision.

Meditation and prayer have great power in numbers.

On August 30, there will be a half hour window of time in which we will pray/meditate. There will be a full half hour so that people who are pressed for time may find a moment to clear their mind and allow peace to surface.

Those who will be busy or sleeping during the specified time, please devote some attention when you can in the hours before and after. All are welcome, and every piece of the human spirit is helpful towards the cause.”
