Playatech
Playatech is an experiment in furniture art, and the only brand The Man can stand. This year, we proudly celebrate our 5th anniversary by introducing the Anniversaire Chair, our best evolution in playa seating since the original Playa Love Seat rocked The Psyche.
Playatech boldly goes where no logos dare by shamelessly commodifying BRC with the best places to plant your pretty parts – Wired called it “Playa Posh”. Our sales force has deeply penetrated the org from Playa Info to Burners Without Borders, and we’re out to seat all of Center Camp then build the Temple.
If you want the best dang furniture money can’t buy you need to be a doer, and you need to hit our paypal button to benefit BRAF or you are stealing our stuff. Playatech might be a pretend company, but our products kick ass on IKEA and our mission is inviting you to participate fully in all 10 Burning Man principles. No spectators…

Dr. Cory’s Party Pax
Protect your brains and bodies with high quality natural party protection and recovery nutrient pax! I will be taking orders for Burning Man until August 17th.
I have 3 different pax this year to keep you in rockstar form.
· The Original Extreme Party Pax: helps you feel like a champ after a long “extreme” night.
· Booze Pax: minimizes hangovers
· Playa Pack o’ Pax: all you need on a daily basis to keep you rocking the playa.
To order, please go to www.drcory.com/natural-pharmacy/party-pax.
I am introducing a great new energy formula, and also have some recommended time-tested remedies for common playa ailments as well. (Dry throat, natural eye drops, coughs, etc..)
I created these party pax in 2003 as a helpful playa gift at the burn. The biochemical realities of a week at Burningman and the intense desert climate can be very hard on the body-despite all the love. My friends and I were really impressed at how well they worked for us. We felt relatively clear, energetic and happy, instead of instead of dull, lethargic and generally crappy. Party pax are now on the list of essential playa supplies.
Order them for yourself, or be a champ and order for your friends and whole camp. Discounts available for bulk orders.
If you care about your body, take party pax!

You will get responses from everyone you meet. Not lecherous, but friendly, appreciative responses. When I first wore my bustier, men and women of all ages stopped me to talk or hollered compliments as I rode by on my bike. “Ab-so-f—ing-beautiful!” was my favorite from a teenage boy. (I’m a woman over 50). We’d love to share that experience with you.

Great Basin Community Food Cooperative
http://www.greatbasinfood.coop
As you prepare to join the Black Rock Community, keep the environmental and social good of Northern Nevada in mind.
Why make the Great Basin Community Food Co-op a part of your Playa experience?
The Black Rock community extends further than the sandy limits of the Playa. It has a lot to do with the monumental behind-the-scenes effort that it takes to contribute to the Black Rock community- including our nourishment. Outfitting 50,000 people for a rich experience in the desert requires a great deal, so make your food choices healthy and environmentally responsible ones.
As part of our mission, the GBCFC maintains a commitment to local, organic and sustainable products to the fullest extent possible. Organizations such as the GBCFC create win-win situations for everyone involved. For us, the consumer, we have access to as much locally-sourced, healthy food as possible. This includes fresh organic or natural produce, special diet needs, and economical bulk options. For local farmers, including those in transition to becoming organic-certified, have the means of selling their produce to a local retail outfit providing fair prices. For local ecology, organically grown products support environmentally responsible farming practices, such as lower levels of contamination from fertilizers and pesticides, increased biodiversity because farms tend not to be large mono-cultures, at times selection of heirloom varieties, and crops that tend to be more suited to local climate and therefore less energy intensive to grow. Additionally, buying locally is socially responsible because it supports jobs in our vibrant Northern Nevada community. Local sources of products are also beneficial because of transportation and shipping costs to the environment are reduced.
The Great Basin Community Food Co-op is Reno’s community-owned grocery store! We are excited to be open to the public and provide local produce, bulk food and health & beauty items, and special bulk orders.
***Special for the Burning Man event, we are offering non-members access to special ordering. Check out our website for product listings and link to our PayPal Account, where you can place special bulk orders and pick them up on your way to the Playa.***
Our new site boasts a 30+ space parking lot and is very centrally at 542 ½ Plumas St. Reno, NV 89509. Check out our convenient perks such as Playa Survival Items and BULK SPECIAL ORDERING. We are open to the public, but our yearly membership fee is only $15 and it also saves you 10% on all in-store purchases.

I am an independent business owner / burner (this will be my 3rd yr to the Playa) and I can’t say I started my business as a result of BM, but have definitely modified accordingly it ever since…..
So I am doing the shirts for Kidsville Camp again this year, only in a little more involved manner. Basically hosting their ordering system so they can have many more color / style / size options. Comes down to me donating my time and puterskills in exchange for the burner exposure to my burner friendly custom services. (I don’t advertise much – 99% word-of-mouth based on my quality product/service) It is working out in a beautiful way! As most things burning man related most often do! To get a better idea of what I put together for Kidsville, best to just visit this page I built:
http://anticonformity.stores.yahoo.net/kidsville09.html
I think this could be a valuable service – and I would gladly and honorably perform it to my capacity for other large or small BM camps / projects. Just a matter of getting the word out there…. Please let me know what you think.
I have also been inspired to design 2 BM theme tees as a fundraiser for my Playa Art project “ACCUMULO SAPIEN” that I’m bringing with me this year!!! 100% of the proceeds are going to Him and his much needed lighting effects. Also just a matter of getting the word out there…. Please spread it however you can. My gratitude is running wild!!
