Overview of AutoSub:
11 years as AutoSub, 3 years precursor, always on Esplanade, 40-45 people, Dues: $390 before Firefly/$440 after, part of Boston Hive- 200 people village w/ 8-10 camps, AS has 30’ dome, aerials, dance parties, “thanks for building the dome party” Monday, (last year 50 events in the dome), hosted Reddit meet and greet, sundown beer toss, group space- quonset huts, full kitchen, family meal every night, campers do kitchen shifts, steam bath, slide off the dome,
20’ container in Gerlach
What do we want to do this year:
- Refine not expand!
- EFFICIENCY
- Damon: Ownership of tasks is efficient, good for camp
- Documentation is key, camp is lacking, better labeling of bins and pieces
- ALC group purchase in June
- quonset hut instructions by Kubo and Doug on the way
- Standardize event schedule
- Encourage hive camps to use the dome to tie in the village
Specific wants:
- Netting in the dome needs replacing this year
- Record sets played in the dome(!)
- Audio equip needs better protection
potential project- dj booth
- People stay assigned to one pod? (except for kitchen)
reminders? how to discourage flaking?
- monetary penalty for no shows? more work = less dues
- what do other camps do?
- Ask Tawny- Disorient
- Postcard mailing event is BIG DEAL
- LNT problem last year- fresh water leakage
Fundraising
- Last year: Smoke n Steam- Pete, daytime, beer/food, possible date April 27.
-Harbor Arts wants art in the shipyards! Could have SnS there?
- 55 gallons of mead ready for bottling for fundraising
AutoSub identity:
“What could possibly go wrong?” Logo? Theme would possibly help with buy-in, but there’s a lot of discussion around the need (or lack thereof) for this
