Text for website listing. (Please limit your description to two sentences. Please give the correct URL. Maximum 5000 characters. Submission will take about two weeks to appear.) OBOP (the Ojai Bureau of Pleaure) returns with the Phonebooth to God, as well as our celebration of Psyche, who gave birth to Pleasure, through two metamorphic environments: the Chrysalis Tomb and Psyche's Womb. Our camp within the XXX village will also offer live music, create a public story one word at a time, produce the first ever Black Rock Idol contest, and serve as home to the Fiamma Luna fire troupe and Ganesh, the copper cruiser of the playa. 7.

(none) 17.Comments (none) 18.Physical Description Please describe the physical aspects of your camps project with as much detail as possible. Include a description of the visual impact of your project and prominent physical features like structures, buildings, tents and platforms, location of generators and clean up plan. Maximum of 5000 chars. The centerpiece of our Esplanade frontage will be a 30' wide, 12' high fabric butterfly, brightly lit at night. The backside of this structure will be The Chrysalis Tomb, a small, cozy cocoon-like room that seats six, from within which one visitor at a time can peer through the eyes of the butterfly onto the Playa. Deeper into the camp will be found Psyche's Womb, a buttefly entry to a cozy blacklit tent filled with pillows and art, holding maybe 20 people, and offering ambient music, evening body painting, and other delights. As in the previous two years, our camp will also include the Throne of God, which has a view of the Phonebooth to God, located somewhere nearby on the other side of the Esplanade. This year we will share an expanded "flailing zone" - a boxing-ring like shade structure - with the Dept of Tethered Aviation. We are also bringing the "storyboard", a long plywood fence which invites participants to write a story, one word at a time; the story will be read aloud on Saturday. 19.Interactivity Description Please describe your camp's interactive concepts and goals. Include your past history, philosophy, personal interactivity with the community. Maximum of 5000 chars. The Chrysalis Lounge (an intimate structure seating 6) and Psyche's Womb (a large blacklit tent, warmly decorated and supporting body art and other delights) are environments that invite participants to experience metamorphosis by entering into the spaces in the life cycle of the butterfly (recall that in Greek mythology, Psyche gives birth to Pleasure). The (Ojai) Bureau of Pleasure is a decopage dresser and mirror in which people can both leave and retrieve gifts, and which connects to the metamorphosis in a surprising way. The Phonebooth to God provides highly successful interactive elements allowing anyone to either speak directly to God - pouring out their heartfelt challenges and dreams - or to actually become God, offering observations, advise and wisdom that often surprise everyone, God included. The storyboard is a long fence of panels on which passersby are invited to add one single word. We expect a story to emerge, which will be transcribed and e-mailed to contributors, and interpreted in performance on Saturday. We also plan to host a Burning Man talent show called "Black Rock Idol". 20.Project Features (The choices below are offered.

No We need a plan for each project in your camp area Include a 2D top-down view with all dimensions in feet If possible, include a 2D front view Label major objects within the project We also need a cleanup plan. It should include; 1. A description of how your camp will clean up as it goes. 2. A description of how your camp will clean up after tehe event. 3. Examples of cleanup plans are available 4. We recommend that a point person is assigned to be responsible for this task and that they develop a team to supprot them. OBOP's Cleanup Plan from 2004 (Doesn't yet address question 1!) We will designate a team of at least four camp members to be a cleanup crew. In addition, each theme project will have its own teardown and cleanup crew. We are again fully prepared to leave our own campsite completely free from MOOP. We also plan to inspect and clean the road and Playa area across from our camp. The majority of our camp members are veterans to the Playa, so we have considered waste management in all of our planning. Again this year, a great deal of our food will be prepared in advance and stored so very little trash will accumulate. The design of our theme camp art has taken the Playa conditions into consideration, especially the wind. We will not have any decorations that can be blown away in the Playa dust storms we have grown to love. We have already decided on what gets burned and what gets taken home. We have plenty of vehicle space for trash and recycling. The majority of our grey water will be collected in the RVs in our camp. Shower water will be collected in empty 55 gallon drums we are bringing, though a good portion may be evaporated by a scaled up version of a system tested last year at the Alternative Energy cmamp. We hope to get our grey water tanks pumped during the week to relieve the burden. A printed version of the Earth Guardian's Cleanup Plan Basics and Leave No Trace Philosophy will be distributed to our members. We will educate our first-timers to the "don't let it hit the ground" approach to LNT, and this year we are asking our members to sign an "agreement" that clearly outlines their role in this process. Enter the URL for the map/plan: A general camp layout (which is still undergoing refinement) will be submitted by Clif Cox in the "Camp I Am" Village application.
