You might want to check out Iron Rose. We're based in the Redwood City/Fremont area.

We're doing a LOT of crafty stuff pre-playa. Had a mutant game table making day last weekend. Turned out AWESOME in an Mutant-Martha-Stewart sort of way. (and wouldn't we all love to mutate martha stewart?) Stitch 'n bitches every other week to get our playa-couture ready. A mutant vehicle to futz on - a field of enormous (and tiny) misting-flowers in process... and decorating the juke joint. That's underway too. Creative and Crafty fun all over.
On-playa, we have a Pyramid of Perfection that's open for Iron Rose campers (and others) as a place to offer services. We've got a men's toenail painting gig already placed and have more room for other folks too.
We're all about the no-personal-drama, though. We like a cozy, friendly camp, eh?!
