Figment:<br />
In a week and a half! We hope!<br />
FIGMENT is hurting for $$$$$$ badly<br />
Pretend like it’s going to happen!<br />
Dome! <br />
Ronny is coordinating volunteers for the Dome build.<br />
Everyone needs to have emailed Ronny, if you haven’t do it now!<br />
<br />
Load out of Blake’s basement in Porter Square Friday night, (UHaul needed? will find out tomorrow)<br />
<br />
Saturday morning set up early, event starts at 11am. Dome build takes ~3 hours. <br />
See Ronny’s e-mail for exact timeline.<br />
<br />
Doug -Can store the truck at the shop, if need be.<br />
<br />
New campers are strongly encouraged to take part in the dome build.<br />
<br />
Saturday night some programming until 11pm Saturday night, after which the dome will need some guards strictly for people who are instrumental in the build.<br />
<br />
Sunday afternoon strike within 2 hours, bring the dome to Rich’s house. <br />
<br />
CONTACT RONNY WITH ALL QUESTIONS!!!!<br />
<br />
Next Wednesday, May 30: Rich would like 2-3 people at 6pm to clear out space to put the dome. <br />
Email Rich if interested. (Sharon, Erika, Dan Strange)<br />
<br />
Greeters:<br />
Brian: our shift is Monday night. Meet at 11:30pm at the dome shift , travel to Greeter Gate together for 12-4am Tuesday morning shift. Can split the shift if you’d like (2 hour chunks), but we need a minimum of 15 people at all times. <br />
<br />
Events start Tuesday, so need to have the dome built and decked out on Sunday/Monday!<br />
<br />
Do we want to run an event Monday night? YES!<br />
Used to run “Thanks for building the city” party on Wednesday but the city is ready much earlier now. <br />
<br />
New, motivating goal: Have the dome built for a Monday night event!<br />
(can finish accoutrements [slide, skirt, etc] Tuesday). <br />
<br />
*David Levy will run the Dome build!<br />
<br />
What Where When <br />
Open soon! Need events in pronto!<br />
<br />
Get your events into Jeremy. (Erika offers to make a gCal)<br />
<br />
Mead!<br />
Thanks to Brian D the camp is the owner of a 55 gallon of mead!<br />
<br />
Will oxidize in a week or so once open. <br />
<br />
Will likely not make the trip to playa.<br />
<br />
Fundraiser idea: around 200 wine bottles: accumulate resealable bottles and sell them!<br />
or 110 growlers<br />
<br />
Hold off on it until post-burn!<br />
Start collecting containers now. <br />
Maybe do a Krug rip-off?<br />
looking for grolsh-style bottles, growlers, wine bottles, champagne bottles (bigger than a bottle of beer)<br />
<br />
Early Crew interest<br />
Contact Doug and Pete if you are interested, let them know how early. <br />
Doug will send out a email with more info of schedule and expectations. <br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
**Ronny: Jeremy will visually inspect all dome members at Figment to see what needs to be replaced during the raising build. <br />
<br />

<br />
**David Levy (in charge of dome raising)- Talk to Hooch: exactly what we need, number and length of each pipe and contact Phil to see if he is willing and able to host us.</div>Jered
