WHAT WHERE WHEN GUIDE
It wasn't easy… Guy goes to the psychiatrist... He says “Doc, my wife made me come here. She thinks I’m crazy just because I like pancakes.” The shrink says “That’s not so crazy... why, I like pancakes myself!” The guy says, “You DO? You should come over to my house! I’ve got THOUSANDS of them!” Q: Why did Cinderella get kicked off the softball team? A: Because she ran away from the ball! A MAGICIAN WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD – THEN HE TURNED INTO A DRIVE WAY RE WHAT WHEID E WHEN GU Question: Why did the hipster burn his mouth? Answer: He ate the pizza before it was cool. Q: Why couldn’t the baker make his cake any taller? A: He used too much shortening. Two people go into a diner, they sit down at the counter, order two sodas, and then take sandwiches out of their packs and start eating them. The owner sees them and says, “Hey, you can’t eat your own sandwiches in here!” The two customers stop eating, look at each other, and swap sandwiches. This WWW Guide had some growing pains and at times seemed it was never going to happen. Somehow the extraordinary do-acracy of this community got it done. Hooray for people doing stuff! Playa del Fuego May ’13 The new part of the website which supports this guide wasn't finished as swiftly as hoped and the printer needed more time to print it. That meant participants, especially the extra-organizeddoing-amazing-spectacular-thing-type of participant had approximately 15 minutes to register their camp and enter their event. There was less time to slap this paper thing together, too. But it all got done. In the fall it will be easier. There will be much more time for people to enter their info. The new log-in and pages won't be so new. Stuff will get tweaked, and there'll be better planning. Things generally will be less confusing and not rushed. This community is an engine that runs on goodwill The website and this guide aren't created miraculously. No map, lanyard, guide, sign, button, parking or camp boundary at this event began life as a lump of clay. They each require a team of weirdos who have specialized skills and complicated lives to happen. Literally hundreds of people work together to transform Fire Base Lloyd twice a year and they contribute in almost a hundred different ways. There are many volunteers that need your help to do their job. Please help them by honoring their deadlines or what may seem like a silly, tiny, petty request. Trust them - they know what they need. They volunteer so they know they are awesome. Make it easier for them to do their volunteer tasks and you become the awesome one. As sweet as it is to flatter someone, there are some volunteers who'd rather get the help they need from you than flowery words. So help them out, give them what they need when they ask for it THEN whipser sweet nothings to them. Deadlines aren't sexy, but respect is. E R E H W T A WH E D I U G N E H W INDEX/STAFF/WHAT IS PDF?

Answer: [answer coming in fall WWW] 2 GÜD: GLOSSARY WHAT IS PLAYA DEL FUEGO? Playa del Fuego is the Mid-Atlantic Regional Burning Man Event. Events are held every spring and fall, on Memorial Day and Columbus Day weekends. Playa del Fuego is an experiment in collaborative community featuring art and music created by those who join us to participate. Attendees are known as participants. There are no spectators at Playa del Fuego; everyone collaborates in some way to create the event. Inspired by the Burning Man festival, it is a place for radical self-expression and an experiment in temporary community building. It is a place of acceptance, inclusivity, and respect. It is organized entirely by volunteers. Art and entertainment is created solely by participants. There are no concession stands. No cash transactions (except ice sales) are permitted at Playa del Fuego - even bartering is discouraged. This is a sincere experiment in creating a gift economy. If you need something, ask for it. If you have it, gift it! There are no garbage cans: everyone is responsible for packing out their garbage or throwing it into one of the handy dumpsters. Playa del Fuego is a blank canvas: expect nothing...bring everything. Event Location VNVMC, Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club of Delaware 474 Fleming Landing Road Townsend, DE 19734 Nearby Hospital Christiana Hospital 4755 Ogletown-Stanton Road Newark, DE 19718, 302-733-1000 Community Expectations Playa del Fuego believes its participants want to be good citizens. Getting to PDF can be a lot of hard work. We think people genuinely care about the community they work so hard to contribute to. This document contains information participants need to sustain this sincere experiment. We encourage all participants, newbie to gnarled, to look over this document and What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash. be reminded this experiment in collaborative community is not complete anarchy. Generally, if something is not covered in the GÜD, and it is legal in the larger world, it is allowed at the event. Community Process — how the GÜD evolves These policies were created by the Planning Committee or the Board of Directors, which are all volunteer positions. Either a participant submits a proposal to the Planning Committee and the PC approves it, or not, or the BOD makes a decision about something because there is compelling safety/ liability or future-of-the-event-issue at stake. Once something becomes an official event policy/procedure/ rule via the BOD or PC, it goes into the GÜD which is compiled by humble scribes. The best and easiest way to reach the PC, is via the PONY. GLOSSARY PDF - Playa del Fuego MOOP - matter out of place, anything that is not indigenous the natural environment you are in, for example: litter, cigarette butts, glitter Rangers - helpful people who rove about in khaki with radios. They are neither cops, your mom, nor required to wear utilikilts. VNVMC - Viet Nam Veterans Motorcycle Club, our hosts and landlords who refer to this place as FIRE BASE LLOYD. Be respectful of them. Coordinator - A super-volunteer who doesn’t just work a shift, they run an entire department like DPW, PARKING, THEME CAMPS, or GATE. Burn - slang for a Burning Man-inspired event like ours. Burns are not music festivals. A few differences being: at burns there are no spectators, burns follow The 10 principles, and the pretty girls at burns aren’t dancing ankle deep in a pile of beer bottles and cups. “Have a nice burn.” 10 Principles - Burning Man’s version of the 10 Commandments, wherein you are permitted to covet your neighbor’s wife but not to litter or participate in cash activities like vending. And so very much more. See 10 Principles in COMMUNITY STANDARDS Volunteer Central - AKA “Participation Station”; a large temporary shelter located next to the red stage. It has volunteer schedules and sign-ups, lost and found, ranger HQ and radios, copies of the WWW Guide, and a few shady seats. Good place to go with a question. Gate - The Gate are the portals through which you enter the event. The event has 2 gates, front and back. One gate turns tickets and valid IDs into official wristbands during specific hours posted elsewhere. The back gate is next to the main parking lot and features the Greeters. Always show your wristband to the nice people working the gate when you enter, leave, or bring them a cold beverage/tasty snack. PC - The Planning Committee makes the nuts and bolts choices that run the event. The Planning Committee is comprised of literally anyone and everyone who calls the Planning Meeting conference call or attends in person. You may attend as many or as few meetings as you like, however, your vote only counts for meetings you actually are a part of. Read more about the PC at the PONY. PDF, Inc.- a Maryland not-for-profit corporation recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3. PONY - PONY stands for Planning and Organization Need You. It is the official online planning and discussion forum for Playa del Fuego. BOD - Board of Directors. A dozen or so unpaid volunteers in search of a hot tub in which to sit and think. They also handle all the boring legal parts of the event like taxes, insurance, liability, and adhering to our mission. Comp Tickets -There are no comp tickets at PDF. Not even for volunteers, artists, DJs, the Planning Committee, or the Board. Reserve Tickets - These are used to ensure that people essential to the smooth operation of the event. Everyone approved for a reserve ticket must still pay for it. Art Grant recipients also receive reserve tickets as art is central to our mission and artists are bound by contract to be present at the event. Playa del Fuego | May Two Thousand & Thirteen 3 GÜD: COMMUNITY STANDARDS/TEN PRINCIPLES COMMUNITY STANDARDS PLAYA del FUEGO PRINCIPLES Self Expression Our events foster an environment of creative self-expression, where participants feel supported to honestly express their inner selves, through artistic creation, performance, and in their social interactions. Self Organization Radical Self-reliance - Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources. Our events foster an environment of self organization. The event is 100% volunteer run. No one gets comp tickets. Everyone is invited to plan. Everyone is invited to play. Everyone is invited to work. The Planning Meetings and Planning Committees are open to everyone to attend. Radical Self-expression - Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient. Accountability Communal Effort - Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction. Our events foster an environment of personal accountability, where we hold ourselves responsible for our own actions, and take personal responsibility for meeting our own needs, for the event itself, and for the event’s impact on the world at large. Cooperation Our events foster an environment of cooperation, where participants work together to resolve potential conflicts respectfully, to help mediate conflicts between others, and to create art, performance, and social space on a larger scale than one person could alone. Additionally, participants seek to keep events sustainable by volunteering, cleaning up after themselves, and assuming personal responsibility for conducting themselves in accordance with local, state and federal laws. TEN PRINCIPLES At Playa del Fuego we follow the Ten Principles of Burning Man. They were written in the 90s by Larry Harvey to help guide the many budding regional events like ours. Radical Inclusion - Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community. Gifting - Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value. 4 Decommodification - In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience. Civic Responsibility - We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws. Leaving No Trace - Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them. Participation - Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart. What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash. GÜD: BOUNDARIES/RANGERS Immediacy - Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience. BOUNDARIES & EXPECTATIONS COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS Playa del Fuego is an experiment in community, ad-hocracy, and do-ocracy. Respect is fundamental to this community. Please respect yourself, other participants, and our hosts. Participants can be held liable for endangering or injuring other participants or their property. Please plan all projects and activities accordingly and use common sense. Playa del Fuego operates on a gift economy. It is expected everyone contributes to the community in some meaningful way and gives as much as they receive. There are many ways to give; do not limit yourself to material gifts. BOUNDARIES Self Expression and Cooperation require a social contract to make our event a safe place to play. Respect the personal boundaries of others. • Respect the moment. Comfort levels vary at different times and with different people. • Before you assume someone wants your physical attentions, ASK. Being direct is OK. It is expected protocol, and sexier than you might think. • NO always means NO. • After someone has said NO, cajoling, pleading, or any form of emotional blackmail is UNACCEPTABLE. • Respecting personal boundaries includes taking pictures or video, as well as physical and verbal interaction. Q: A termite walks into a saloon... A: and asks, “Is the bar tender here?” Take responsibility for your own boundaries • You must be able to say NO. • Be sober enough to be in control or make plans with a friend to have a “designated driver.” • How you feel is not magically telegraphed to others. YOU are in charge of your boundaries. • You are responsible for yourself but you can always ask for help. Talk to those around you (or a Ranger) if someone is making you uncomfortable. Awareness • Simply put, should you be doing that here? Not everything is a good idea everywhere. • Remain aware of your surroundings and aware of your actions and make sure you are in the right place for what you’re doing. • If you’re not sure if what you’re about to do is ok where you are, or with those around you, just ask someone. RANGERS ARE HERE TO HELP Rangers are not cops or your mom, but they do want to try and ensure that everyone is having the best burn possible. People who Ranger are usually those friends that you always know will be there for you. The PDF Rangers do their thing via the FLAME method: Find Out, Listen, Analyze, Mediate, Explain. But you don’t need to be a Ranger to do this yourself! If something or someone is bothering you, try to talk to that person calmly and work it out. If something doesn’t seem right to you, ask about it - Find Out what’s going on. You may discover it’s not really a problem, or you may discover that it is and that you either need to make a request, or Explain one of our few rules and see if you can recruit that person to help you respect it. If/when you decide you want help, something is more intense or complicated than a minor disagreement, or you or a friend might need help from an outside resource of any kind, find/ask a Ranger (they are those funny looking folks in khaki). If you don’t see one wandering about, head over to Center Camp where you will find Ranger Playa del Fuego | May Two Thousand & Thirteen 5 GÜD: RULES/ENTRY Headquarters (behind Participation Station) and the Ranger Base Radio. There are instructions posted near the radio on how to turn it on and call for an available Ranger to meet you at Part Station. We are ready and waiting to help you have an awesome PDF! Interested in becoming a Ranger? Have you attended at least one PDF prior to this? If so, feel free to come by Ranger Headquarters on Friday night at 7pm for Ranger Training, or ask a Ranger to help you find Snuggles, our On Site Ranger Coordinator. RULES Rules have consequences. Consequences may include being ejected from the event and/or being unable to attend future events. Illegal Activity Please note: Playa del Fuego, Inc. does not condone ANY illegal activity. We create a temporary city with its own rules. This city coexists within an area of real laws. Try to make that coexistence a peaceful one. Abide by all relevant local, state and federal laws. If you see law enforcement officers, be nice to them. PDF will cooperate with all local, county, state and federal officials. We all share an interest in having a smooth event. Be warned: Any ticket holder found driving while intoxicated/under the influence will be banned from the event for no less than one year and possibly for life. Off Limit Areas The Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club of Delaware (VNVMC), who owns the land on which we camp, has indicated that the following areas are 100% off limits. PDF is not responsible for what happens to you if you disrespect these areas. At a minimum, you will be forced to leave: • Anything to the left of the gravel drive is off limits except the showers and portapotties next to the showers only. Stay to the right of the road at all other times. • The Clubhouse - a yellow and white building located between the showers and pavilion. • The Flagpole - located at the right edge of the gravel road and is near the clubhouse. 6 GÜD: SOUND POLICY It is surrounded by a fence and is clearly marked. • The helicopter, its stand, and the miscellaneous bombs & ammo boxes surrounding it. • Any buildings, closed fields, or fields with animals in them. • Just because it isn’t on the above list, does not mean you are allowed there. Use good judgment. VNVMC Sovereignty at Event There are unique benefits that come from holding our event on the VNVMC site but they are not without a few strings. Our landlords, the VNVMC, reserve the right to object to actions of our participants and ask those participants to cease the offending activity immediately, with no discussion. In other words, if the Vets say so, it is so. The Vets’ demands supersede anything that may be contained in this document or may seem otherwise OK in the larger world. EVENT ENTRY Wristbands Everyone will be required to wear wristbands. Anyone found without a wristband will be ejected. Replacements can be acquired at the Front gate during ticketing hours. If someone asks to see your wristband, it’s cool, just show them. Re-entry If you leave the event site, even to just get something from your car, and wish to reenter, you must be wearing a wristband. Gate Crashing and Sneak-ins Gate crashing and sneaking in violates core principles of our event and are not tolerated. Gate crashers and sneak -ins will be treated like anyone without a wristband and be ejected. Scalped and Counterfeit tickets Scalped and counterfeit tickets violate core principles of our event and are not tolerated. Scalped and counterfeit tickets are void and will not be accepted for admittance or exchanged for a wristband. Wristbands obtained with scalped or counterfeit tickets or in any other nefarious manner may be voided and the wearer ejected. What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash. No Nudity within Site of Gate Our landlords, the VNVMC requires that all participants within view of the gates, using the porta potties at the front gate, outside the gates, in the parking lot or off the property, dress accordingly – that means modestly. If you can be seen from the road or a neighboring home, you should be properly attired for a public setting. Meaning there should be nothing about your attire that allows others to see parts of your body the law does not normally allow to be displayed in public. Generally, if you can see the road or the “outside world” make sure you are covered. SOUND POLICY The complete Sound Policy is in the GÜD on our website. A copy of the GÜD may also be available at Participation Station or one of the Gates. Below is an excerpt from our new Sound Policy. All participants should read and review it even if the policy does not directly apply to you. Each of us has a role to play in our community to ensure that no one person or group puts our event at risk. Additionally, we have created THE SOUND RULE below to ensure that members of our community can safely approach anyone directly about a sound issue without fear of retaliation. If you suspect that a camp or an individual is placing the event at risk by not adhering to the sound policy, please approach them as a member of our community and let them know that you believe that they may be violating the sound policy. Offer any assistance you can to helping them to resolve the problem and be sure to thank them for doing their part to helping us keep our venue! THE SOUND RULE If you suspect that an individual or a camp is violating the sound policy and may pose as a disturbance to our landlord’s neighbors, please approach them IMMEDIATELY with your concern. If they do not take action or the action is not satisfactory, please report the issue to a Sound Committee Member, Sound Patrol, Sound Marshal, Ranger, Playa del Fuego Board of Director (BOD) as quickly as possible. If you are approached by anyone about a sound policy violation, you MUST IMMEDIATELY CORRECT or CEASE the activity which is causing the suspected sound violation. In particular, if a representative from the Vets comes by your camp and raises an issue. If that occurs, reach out the Sound Committee so that the issue can be resolved through proper channels. If you do not take action, you may be directly placing the entire event at risk which might lead SEVERE ACTIONS, such as being disbarred from a future event or the immediate EVICTION of your entire camp. Who This Policy Applies To If one or more of the following items are true, this Sound Policy applies to you and/ or your camp: 1. I bring, manage, and/or support amplified sound equipment at PDF 2. I use amplified sound equipment (ex. DJ, musician) 3. I carry or play a musical instrument that produces audible or sub-audible sound 4. I am part of a camp that in any way produces sound in any manner which can be heard from beyond the boundaries of my camp 5. I carry a megaphone, siren, or produce loud sounds from any source (ex. whistles, horns, yelling/screaming etc) SOUND POLICY SUMMARY General Info • T here is no longer a distinction between amplified sound and non-amplified sound when it comes to the application of this policy.

When making a decision to shut down sound permanently, BOD will make an effort to have Sound Marshal and/or BOD on duty and/or Quorum of Directors (a quorum is 3 or more Board Members). Any BOD may shut down sound temporarily as they see fit. Sound Sponsor: Camp Leaders or individuals planning to bring amplified sound or music to PDF must designate a Sound Sponsor for their amplified sound system. This person, in conjunction with the Camp Leader, is responsible for sound levels in his/her camp. The Sound Sponsor may, but is not required to be, the Camp Leader. Sound Sponsor designates alternates and chooses the individuals designated as Sound Committee Members for camp. The Sound Sponsor or one of his/her representatives is readily available within earshot of the camp at all times when the sound system is in use. Sound Marshal: Member of the BOD or other designee responsible for ensuring PDF-wide compliance with the sound policy. If there is a question or mediation required, Sound Marshal may be called upon to give advice or make decisions. The Sound Marshal will work in conjunction with members of the BOD, but in situations where the Sound Marshal is not on the BOD, the Marshal will ultimately defer to the decisions of the BOD. Sound Committee: Members dealing with enforcement. Members are chosen from within the PDF sound art community and/ or the PDF community at large, identified by the Sound Marshal and approved by the BOD for dealing with enforcement of sound policy throughout the PDF community. Sound Committee personnel are given authority stemming from the BOD to turn off any sound that violates community standards. Sound Patrol: This is a participant, a human, dealing with monitoring and can come from any part of PDF community. If there is a perceived violation, Sound Committee Members will report to Sound Committee member for enforcement. Sound Committee Members will come from sound camps and the PDF What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash. community at large.

If action is not taken or is not satisfactory to resolve the violation, please report the problem immediately to a Sound Committee Member, Sound Marshal, Ranger, or Playa del Fuego Board of Director (BOD) as quickly as possible. The complete Sound Policy is on our website. PUBLIC HEALTH & SAFETY Porta Potties If it wasn’t made by your body, don’t put it in the potty. Your wastes and 1-ply toilet paper are the only things that should be in the potties. “Flushable” baby wipes, tampons, food, beer bottles, etc. clog the hose of the pottie truck, damage the pottie truck, make the pottie man’s life difficult and may result in our potties not getting emptied on schedule. See LEAVE NO TRACE, MOOP, and THERE ARE NO PUBLIC TRASH CANS. FIRE, BURN BARRELS & BURNING ART Fireworks Fireworks of any kind are prohibited in the state of Delaware and are not welcome at the VNVMC. Firewood Firewood is included in your ticket price. It is available while supplies last. Do not over-feed your fires. Do not take wood from the main stack. If you have something that burns a lot of wood, please bring some of your own, but only bring wood from a local Delaware vendor to contain invasive insect species that kill trees. Fire Lanterns are Forbidden Fire lanterns, aka Chinese fire lanterns, aka sky lanterns are prohibited. They are flying, flaming MOOP whose trajectory can’t be controlled or predicted. Safety, Extinguishers and Spinners All flame must be attended at all times. This includes camp fires, tiki torches, fire spinning, candles or any other open flame. If you build a fire or light a flame it is your responsibility to monitor it and ensure for its safety. Bring a fire extinguisher. Fire spinning without a safety is prohibited and stupid dangerous. Burnable Art • Burning art is part of our culture at PDF. It is a symbolic celebration of the cycle of life and death—we don’t dwell in what we’ve done so much as we celebrate what we can do. • If you have brought art that you want to burn: you must have contacted the Burning Art Coordinator in advance for approval and coordination, burningart-lead@playadelfuego. org. • There is no guarantee that your art will burn. Plan other creative ways to destroy your art that are less reliant on the weather. • Don’t throw toxic or dangerous things into a fire. GARBAGE No Public Trash Cans Burn barrels are not trash cans. There are no public trash cans at this event. At all times, at all places on the site, you are responsible for the trash you create. Don’t ask someone if they have a trash can they don’t. Leave No Trace Leave no trace is an important but simple principle of our community. The goal is to leave no trace of our amazing event. If possible leave things in better condition than we found them. That means to not leave trash, cigarette butts, poop, feathers, sofas, bacon grease, beer cans, glitter or sequins behind when we leave. That means to not harm the environment by scorching the ground by burning something improperly or altering or destroying trees or existing structures. We also don’t leave problems for other people to deal with. What’s brown and sticky? A stick. Playa del Fuego | May Two Thousand & Thirteen 9 GÜD: PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY/PARKING Dumpsters Dumpsters are a luxury at PDF that exist at the insistence of our hosts; most burns are pack-it-in-pack-it-out. Dumpsters are for household type trash only. If it does not fit in a trash bag, it should not go in a dumpster. No furniture, large items or spooky chemicals allowed in the dumpster. Do not put ashes in the dumpster – they belong in the Ash Dump. Hot ashes set the dumpster on fire. Seriously, no one wants to deal with a flaming dumpster. Dumpsters are a huge expense — billed by weight, so please bring home as much as you can or minimize what you bring. One way to bring less trash is to remove excess packaging before you come. See ASH DUMP, LEAVE NO TRACE, NO PUBLIC TRASH CANS. Ash Dump Spent ashes go in the ash dump, not the dumpster. The location of the ash dump has changed now and then. Ask a Ranger, DPW or smartie-pants where it is. Wise campers stop their fires early Sunday evening so their ashes are cold during Pack Out on Monday. Recycling There are several recycling centers near the shopping centers in town. Participants are encouraged to collect their recycling and drop it off at one of these centers, or bring it home for your local pickup. Water as a “Trace” Water leaves a trace and should be used thoughtfully. Private “sun” and other types of showers, kiddie pools, vigorous washing up, dish washing, and other large water uses are discouraged and should only be used when a plan on how to disperse the water properly is in place. In general, small amounts of gray water should be dumped into existing ditches on the site. Grey water should not be dumped onto the ground in areas where people are camping. Be especially careful using water near roads and pathways. Muddy paths are a nuisance and can be a safety hazard. See LEAVE NO TRACE. • All grey water must be dealt with appropriately and in accordance to event policy. ie, it cannot be dumped out on the ground and must either be packed out or disposed of at appropriate drain location. If you don’t know where an appropriate spot is, it is YOUR responsibility to find out. See WATER AS A TRACE. • All filled pools must be either attended by an adult 18 years or older or somehow locked up or fenced in at all times. Vending/Gifting Vending of any kind is not allowed. This includes promotion of other events. Gifting does not equal bartering, nor are you entitled to anything. It’s only a gift when offered freely - taking something because you want it is still theft at PDF. Ask permission before taking or touching anything or anyone. Generators Generators must be attended at all times, as they are a fire hazard. Generators create many types of pollution including noise pollution and should be used thoughtfully. Generators should be boxed to minimize their polluting effects. If a generator must be used, it should be sited in such a way to minimize its effect on neighbors and the community. No Dogs Dogs are prohibited (with the exception of service animals) at the event due to the presence of local dogs and a history of territorial issues. For other pets, you are urged to consider whether PDF is an appropriately safe environment. Some animals do not respond well to change, and pets have escaped and even died in the past. EVENT/SITE GUIDE For complete information about admissions and directions please seen the unedited GÜD at http://www.playadelfuego.org. Parking Pools Pools by definition are any body of water used explicitly or in some part to bathe, swim or cool off. • Pools filled with liquid are only allowed in 10 personal or theme camp areas. They can not be placed in communal areas. The parking station is located on the outside of the back entrance in the back field. When you enter the property please follow the signs to the main lot. Once through the overflow/Large truck lot you will be greeted What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash. GÜD: PARKING/AMENITIES by one of our flaggers who will ask to see your wrist bands and whether you are parking or need to enter the event for dropping off your gear. 1. Parking: It is important to follow the flaggers and park where they ask you to in order to maximize the number of available parking spaces. If there is not a flagger, please follow signs and avoid parking in roadways or paths. 2. Drop offs: If you are dropping off your gear, please follow the flaggers’ instructions to proceed to the parking tent to receive a temporary parking pass. NOTE: Passes are for 30 minutes only. Please do not stay on site with your car for more than 30 minutes and fer goodness’ sake, remember to pick up your license! While we try our best to get your license back to you if you forget it, we are not responsible for your license if it is left at the event. The Log book will be put away Sunday evening! Temporary Unloading Passes So that everyone gets a chance to come in and unload in a timely manner, your temporary unloading pass allows you no more than 30 minutes to unload your vehicle. If you leave your vehicle inside longer than 30 minutes, you may be towed. If you return your pass in less than 30 minutes, parking is free! Unload your equipment and return your vehicle. Do not hunt down all your friends or set up your camp now. Communicate with your campmates in advance so that you may proceed directly to where you plan to camp. But please only drive on marked roads, for everyone’s safety! Once you unload your vehicle, return promptly to the front gate, return your parking pass and collect your license. When returning your passes please pull over to the side of the road and do not block traffic coming in our out of the event. Someone at the greeter station will then give you directions to the back lot where you should park as directed. You should not park in the front lot unless directed to do so by someone at the greeter station. On-Site Parking Passes On-site vehicle passes are available by preregistration only. If you have not reserved an on-site pass, you may not sleep in your vehicle. Please park your vehicle where instructed to by the volunteers at the gate. Once parked on-site, your vehicle must stay there until you leave the event - you cannot drive it out and re-enter. Issued On-site parking passes must be displayed at all times. Greeting Once you’ve gotten wristbands and parked your car, head inside and you will be greeted by our greeter team inside the back gate. Their mission is to give you hugs, a What Where When event guide, explain the 10 principles, spank virgins, answer simple questions and provide information (like where to volunteer, nudge-nudge). Spanking is optional, butt (butt!) it is always appropriate to approach a Greeter bearing gifts. Art Cars Art cars are permitted on site but must be pre-registered and remain parked. Re-entry If you leave the event site - even to just get something from your car - and wish to reenter, you must be wearing a wristband. AMENITIES Water There is usually water available in 3 places. Exact location subject to change. Look for blue flags on site to mark the water: • Near the Pavilion and sink • Near the red former horse barn • Between Field 5 and 6. Please be mindful of mud as MOOP - don’t leave hoses running to create hazardous swamps. See also LEAVE NO TRACE, WATER AS A TRACE Ice Ice is available to purchase from the vets. Bring cash, small bills appreciated. Showers There are 2 sets of showers on site. They are a luxury. Be brief to conserve water, especially hot water, as supplies are limited. Playa del Fuego | May Two Thousand & Thirteen 11 GÜD: AMENITIES/PREPARATION No electrical outlets are available at the showers. All personal items brought into the shower including toiletries, garments and trash must be taken with you when you leave the shower. See LEAVE NO TRACE, MOOP, THERE ARE NO PUBLIC TRASH CANS. Generally, the cinder block hut with stalls near the Vet’s yellow building is single sex, single user. Co-ed and co-showers are more easily accommodated in the large open showers next to the red barn. At the cinderblock showers people wishing to shower together, or shower on the opposite gender’s side should ask consent of all those they would be showering with. Our event is inclusive to all genders and sexual orientations, and that includes the showers, too. Don’t like it? Come back later. If someone is making you uncomfortable in the showers, or anywhere at the event, or is acting without your consent, speak up-let them know. If that doesn’t help, ask a ranger to FLAME the situation. Local Supplies The shopping center at the intersection of 301 and 299 includes a major hardware store, a big-box discount department store, a grocery store, a drug store, a dollar store and several restaurants. The shopping center at 896 and 301 just south of 95 includes a grocery store and other stores. Many new strip malls have been built in the Middletown area in the recent years. Pavilion Feel free to use the pavilion for cooking and dining and playing, but please practice Leave No Trace and clean up after yourself when you are done. Do not leave behind leftover food for the taking - the best way to get rid of leftovers is to “take them for a walk” and offer them to other people. If the pavilion is not kept clean, pavilion privileges may be lost. They yellow building adjacent to the Pavilion belongs to our landlords and is strictly off limits. See LEAVE NO TRACE, MOOP, THERE ARE NO PUBLIC TRASH CANS. Stage Those with stage time may want to consult an event guide to see if their time coincides with other events, like art burns. PDF org provides sound equipment. Any other equipment needed by performers is up to 12 GÜD: MAYOR/GUIDELINES & ART the performer to provide. If you have questions, look for DJ Matt at Camp Fogie or Participation Station. WEATHER AND CONDITIONS Be Prepared for Weather Extremes Our event is held rain or shine. It has been held during Nor’Easters, severe thunderstorms, coastal flooding, plagues of insects, and record heat and cold. A shade or rain structure can be helpful. Be sure to properly stake or rebar any structures you erect. Tents have blown out of the event grounds, becoming MOOP. Shade structures have become wind borne and hit people in the head. Insects Be prepared for a variety of biting, stinging and annoying insects. If you know you have an allergy, bring the supplies you need to stay healthy. Mud Burn Park at your own risk. If there is rain many areas will get swampy, and your car may get stuck. Do not spin your tires if you get stuck; find people to push or tow you out safely. The parking lot and roads may have to be closed if conditions are severe and a carry in/carry out situation could happen. PREPARATION Really Radical Self Reliance Playa del Fuego is an exercise in radical self-reliance. Bring everything you are going to need, including food, water, shelter, basic medications and hygiene products. Gifts are a wonderful expression of community, but you must take responsibility for your own survival and well-being. Do not show up expecting the community to take care of you. We have dedicated volunteers who are also EMTs on site, but they are an emergency resource only. Do not rely on them for basic OTC medications. Planning, Participation & Organization There is a vast hive of activity behind the super-slick, seamless production of Playa del Fuego. We would LOVE to have your help! Want the skinny on the world behind the curtain? Go online and read this section to find out about art, volunteers, the Board of Directors, emails and more. What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash. A RT Mayor Each event there is a Mayor. The Mayor for Spring PDF 2013 is Amy Prime. Look for the for the big tall blonde gal with the lanyard that says “MAYOR.” What the heck is the Mayor of PDF? Pretty simple - besides wearing something spiffy, the Mayor is a member of the board whose job it is to listen to community members. So if you have concerns, ideas, topics to consider, complaints, worries, or want to offer a “bribe” find the Mayor. You can, of course, talk to any board member any time, but the Mayor is someone who has made themselves conspicuous for your convenience. If you have any questions, hugs, or concerns look for the Mayor. GUIDELINES Not rules, but friendly suggestions to make things easier on you and everyone else. Social Media Posting photos to social media sites removes your control of the photos and of the ‘ask first’ arrangement made with other participants. By posting, you give ownership of those photos to the social media sites. Theses sites retain those photos even if you delete them. Think twice before giving your art to social media sites. Hydration Dehydration is a very serious risk at PDF; DRINK WATER, and lots of it. Alcohol and caffeine dehydrate you; it is not water. Water is not sold at the event (except in the form of ice), so bring all the water you will need. We strongly recommend a minimum of 2-3 gallons a day for drinking, cooking, and hygiene. Signs of dehydration: • Feeling uncharacteristically cranky • Rapid or sudden weight loss • Increasing thirst • Dry mouth • Cessation of sweating • Weakness or lightheadedness particularly if worsening on standing Art is central to the mission and experience of Playa del Fuego. All participants are welcome to apply for an Art Grant. Watch the website for details and deadlines. “Thank You” to every artist who made work for this event.

It is the closest thing to an alien planet, right here on our planet, as we can get.
