Participation

Burning Man is a participatory event. Camp Roller Disco takes a lot of work before and during Burning Man to achieve its splendiferousness in all its splendor. In the past this was achieved by a small team of committed folks, but this year it's going to be a camp-wide effort. The bottom line is that we want everyone in our theme camp to be involved in helping to run the camp. There are some well-defined ways you can help and you can pick the times when you'd like to help.

There are several ways you can participate in our camp -- you'll have more fun and feel more connected the more you participate.

  1. You can camp outside our camp and come by any time to help out or visit or skate when the roller disco is open. This involves no committment at all.

  2. You can camp outside our camp and commit to our minimum contribution described below. This will entitle you to the helper's benefits described below.

  3. You can camp inside our satelite camp and commit to our minimum contribtion described below. This will entitle you to the helper's benefits described below.

  4. You can camp inside our theme camp and commit to our organizer contribtion described below. This will entitle you to the organizer's benefits described below.

What to do?

What would you like to do? We need work done in several areas:
  • Creating sea-creatures and other decorations before Burning Man and installing them around the Roller Disco.
  • Loading up before Burning Man
  • Grading the surface and Laying the rink
  • Tending Skates (handing them out to folks)
  • Managing the Rink (handling spills, managing music, drunk folks, etc.)
  • Setting up decorations, the fencing, roller disco lighting, etc.
  • Operating the Desert Nose mister

These activities occur before and/or during Burning Man, so we have a schedule of when things need to be done. We'll be asking you to sign up for specific "shifts". You can trade shifts with someone else, but you are responsible for the time you signed up for.

Minimum Contribution

For people who want to stay in our satelite camp, which will be near our theme camp (last year it was diagonally across the road), we are asking for a few things:
  • 3 by 3. That is, at least three hours of work on three separate days at Burning Man.

  • A financial contribution. Our theme camp costs thousands of dollars to produce, and it is a cost that has historically been bourn primarily by a few people. How much you contribute is up to you. If you have less money to contribute perhaps you can help find materials that are needed or offer extra time.

  • Clean Up. You agree to clean up entirely after yourself and help clean up the theme camp.

Helper's Benefits

All helpers get these benefits:
  • You may camp in the Roller Disco Satelite Camp if you wish.
  • You may use the private camp shower.
  • You may have your own email alias @rollerdisco.com. People will be able to reach you at yourname@rollerdisco.com.
  • You get a really cool Roller-Disco-related vinyl sticker
  • You can get those great flashing LED skate wheels essentially at cost for $3.50 each.
  • People helping on the Desert Nose project get a special 2002 Burning Man edition FIMO pendant.

Organizers Contribution

A theme camp organizer shares responsibility for areas of the camp with others. This is a great way to get really involved, meet lots of people, generally help make Burning Man what it can be, and have a profoundly good time in the process. You'll spend some time each day on camp-related activies.

Organizer's Benefits

All organizers get these benefits:
  • You may camp in the Roller Disco Theme Camp area if you wish.
  • You get all the Helper's Benefits.
  • Other benefits to be determined...
  • People organizing the Desert Nose project get a special 2002 Burning Man edition silver pendant.
