KAMP KANE MAN

[Blue Jester]

I put a similar topic on the regional contacts board but felt as though I put to much of an emphasis on Minneapolis. I need volenteers from where ever I can get them since many of my freinds are not very decisive on if there going and I already have my ticket so I really need some help if I am to get this idea off the ground and into higher ground (The playa). @ any rate my big plan is to erect a 5-7 foot man out of logs and what not that I find in the woods around my house. I would like the head to be the bow of the Kane Man and to have him/her leaning on a Kane. The burn plan is to make some kind of platform on wheels (most likely two little red wagons with a piece of sheet metal connecting them) that me and another person could pull with bikes, parade the Fancy man around town, round up some crazies, find a nice chunk of open playa and let him/her burn. I feel the Burning of the man has possiably lost some of his meaning (whatever that may be). I would like burn a man in a more intimate setting with out a hoard of thousands of yahoos. Any way if you think burning the large man has lost something help me burn a man with some class. so if you would like to help out in ANY WAY it would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to have a constant walking stick making workshop where people could drop by carve a walking stick and be on there way a little more comforably.Because everyone needs a little support. Whats even better all the waste accumulated will help fuel the Burning of the Kane man.

The carve your own walking stick workshop sounds really cool id be in for that :)

the potential problems I could see would be keeping the wood chips and curls under control, they tend to get everywhere and could create a hellish moop problem. you could be left trying to sift them out of the dust at the end of the event.


It would probably be a good idea to have a large Band-Aid supply too.

Or, you could premake walking sticks and have people paint, stain, customize their own. That would be a lot easier and less to worry about. Just think of what sanding alone would leave behind. I like the idea though.

Well in regards to the wood shavings my plan was to possiably have a car port which would cut down on the blowing things away and to just lay a large tarp or sheets so I could just roll it up , and as for the sand paper idea there will be no sand paper involved for the same reason of un-controlable m.o.o.p. at any rate I feel this idea could work well and get people together to make something that they can actually use.
