2:00 & 10:00 Neighborhood camps for 2012

[trilobyte]

Alright, who's bringing the noise, or is brave enough to camp near all that wattage? For the new folks, 2:00 and 10:00 are where all the large scale sound installations are placed - but there are a lot of mutant vehicle and big art support camps and other hidden gems tucked into the edges of Black Rock City. This thread is for camps to announce their locations and intentions… tell us who you are, meet your neighbors!

[trilobyte]

We know Root Society will be returning, and Opulent Temple has grand plans for their 10th anniversary on the playa...

[H.G.Crosby]

give them what they want.


bread & circus...

[dj_john69]

Osiris (the giant steel pyramid) will be coming back for a 2nd round. They have combined with day rave masters Black Rock Syndicate !! Good fucking times ahead

Just a little FYI for first timers, since no one else has posted it here.

The large sound camps have a moop problem, yes .... but please understand that it is not their moop! thousands of people visit these camps every night, dancing themselves silly in a very crowded space ... and moop happens. think everyone from thoughtless wasted ravers to a very conscientious burner whose earring falls off. once it's in the dust, it will stay there.

instead of criticizing the people whose time and money and hard work create these amazing camps, try being proactive by:

1) making sure you don't become part of the problem ... ie, don't go there and smoke, or take stuff that you could easily lose ... and have nothing that could fall off of your costumes or out of your pockets

2) spend some time at the camps in the mornings with a rake and a garbage bag.

Who else is bringing out big sound or activities to these sides of the horseshoe?

[Simon of the Playa]

Rumor has it...


Root Society will be Moving to the 2 oclock corner...


and this is totally unofficial and complete conjecture and i am simply doing a Uri Geller here.


I will be hanging with the Terminal Citizens on my Breaks...


East Side of the Playa, here we come....

[mgb327]

Simon, I hope Root Society ends up over near 10, as that is "my side" of town.....

[Simon of the Playa]

Again, this is psychic ponderings, but i have this vision of an Opulent Temple celebrating their Ten Years on the Playa at the 10 oclock corner...

Call it a hunch.

[tattoogoddess]

So we have-
Root Society
Opulent Temple
Osiris

How about Nexus,Bass Camp,el circo/simpler times?

[mgb327]

My Uri Geller-ish statement is that Root Society was really great this year until that epic 3 day whiteout hit, and they burned the Man on Monday during exoDUST! Simon was on his best behaviour at all times....I saw it! Really! And, I already have MY ticket for 2013, I got it while they were still for sale.

[trilobyte]

Be patient, camps will post their info when they're good and ready. You likely won't see Bass Camp back as a registered camp, and certainly not in any kind of premium location. El Circo is no more. The people behind Simpler Times are most likely still involved with FractalNation Village, who are planning to return this year. Nexus will be back, but is no longer doing a large scale sound installation. My understanding is they're focusing on art (perhaps with a smaller daytime bar), and placed at 10:00 & Columbine.

Ah, you forgot about those bent spoons whizzing across the playa and slicing the Center Camp Cafe into ribbons...

It was funny to see the hippies unsuccessfully try to flee the raging silverware drawer of projectiles. Like a scene from Zombieland....double-tap.

that was MY favorite part for sure. Although the unicorn stampede running over the hippies as they were running away was a close second.

[mgb327]

and how about that unicorn that had been spray painted flat black? Hilarious. That monkey could barely hang on....

[dj_john69]

OT got the 10 corner

[Elorrum]

2) spend some time at the camps in the mornings with a rake and a garbage bag.

This is one of my favorite mornings. It's quiet, you get tremendous feedback and hugs if you like. I scored some working blinkies, and got the day off to a nice start. I DID SAY FREE BLINKIES!

[Simon of the Playa]

this is an approximate, and by no means represents actual real estate, but i think you get the idea.

who else is bringing the EAST SIDE SOUND?

[Shaman-n-KK]

Osiris (the giant steel pyramid) will be coming back for a 2nd round. They have combined with day rave masters Black Rock Syndicate !! Good fucking times ahead

Yup, it's true! OSIRIS Village featuring Black Rock Syndicate will be at 10:00 & Begonia!~

[Ano]

I may not be much of a dancer, but I really appreciate the atmosphere large sound camps and mutant vehicles bring to the Playa. It's cool to see absolute madness occurring off in the distance as I aimlessly wander the desert.

Good to know that the corners of the Esplanade this year will be well taken care of. I don't plan on dancing much, but I'll be sure to stop by on my morning adventures with a plastic bag and an eye for MOOP to keep the party going! I can't wait to see what other camps end up placed on these spokes.

[Ano]

Edit: Random double post. Apologies. In return, here's a good song:

Feel free to delete this post. I can't seem to find the button.

― Friedrich Nietzsche

I DID dance like no one was watching...I'm being arraigned next week.

[dj_john69]

Awfully quiet in here for other camps on 2 and 10 !! Is there seriously only a handful of large sound camps this year ?? I FUCKING HOPE SO !!!

Fucking stoked. I like a change up!!! Plus thats my half of the city

[lemur]

i can see it now..

some raver guy 'wow opulent temple was AWESOME this year.. those domes were AWESOME!'

[Simon of the Playa]

Opulent Society™

[Jordan 10-E]

Bass Camp will not be on the playa this year.

[trilobyte]

Apologies if these have been mentioned earlier. I'm hearing (from info posted publicly on the interwebz) that:

On the 2:00 side…
Flower Power Gypsy Camp at Alyssum
Synesthesia at Alyssum
)'(Ooligan Alley at Begonia
Petting Zoo at Edelweiss
FractalNation Village at Geranium
Disco Knights at Jasmine
Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves at Jasmine
and
Burning GLAM at 2:15 & Esplanade

On the 10:00 side…
Camp Charlie at Geranium
NUTZ at Hyacinth
Tsunami Bass Experience (back and on the 10:00 side, but I haven't gotten confirmation on the cross-street)
and
PlayaSkool at 9:45 & Esplanade

On the surface 10:00 seems lighter, but that side tends to be where a number of big art/big mutant vehicle support camps are located.

[brcprincess]

What about District? Any word on them?
