In the "less is more" spirit, our camp has three main projects:
- The The Un Hammer Coffee Shop
-
(Theme-related)
The Un Hammer Coffee Shop dedicated to getting people "Un Hammered." We'll bring two large coffee makers and many pounds of coffee beans, which we'll keep cold and grind for the freshest brewed coffee possible. We'll also serve cookies and provide fresh milk and soy milk. Naturally we'll coordinate with the Nevada State Health Department to get a temporary food service permit.
The Un Hammer Coffee Shop will operate in a 2v Geodesic Dome. On top of this dome will be the "Nosefish Dome Deck," a small deck with a small 1v dome for shade cover. This is another example of repurposed materials and creating useful and enjoyable, durable and reusable structures with a minimum of materials.

more information on the dome deck, including complete instructions on how to build one, what materials and tools are required, and lots of tips to make the project safe and as easy as possible.
- EL Wire Repair
-
Daily from 11am to 1pm we'll offer to repair EL Wire projects. We'll be stocked with supplies and spare wire, tools and techniques and a determination to help if we can. We won't build your project for you, but if you built it before you came to the playa we'll help you keep it running. Special thanks to coolneon.com for providing us with materials to share with you all.
- The MEZ
-
For interactive nighttime enjoyment, the MEZ video screen is back! This incredible video projection system uses a video camera to collect moving images of participants and processes it with custom-written software. Then it is projected on the screen. The software creates a wide variety of effects, varying color, pixelation, edge detection, time delay and many other characteristics to the delight of all. This has been a very popular attraction in years past, and this year will feature new and improved software effects. This masterpiece of interactive art was created by Chris Pirazzi.
We've been placed in Center Camp this year, at the 4:00 position facing the center camp main structure.
In 2004, 2005 and 2006 we were proud to be one of the Earth
Guardian's Leave No Trace model camps. We also won the coveted "Camp
of the Day" award in both 2004 and 2005! We will continue
our LNT tradition and bring only what we need.
Our camp has two geodesic domes we use as shelter and for projects.
We also have two carports we use for shelter,
under which we put tables and chairs. We also have our
zero-impact nosefish shower. We collect and treat our shower water.
Everyone in our camp shares a solid and creative
commitment to having zero net impact on the Playa. We have both an LNT guru and a recycling guru in our camp.
Read our cleanup commitment to find out just
how hard we work to keep our impact on the playa to a
minimum.
