Camp Gallavant was created for Burning Man 2002 to harbor the Pirates Of The Playa and their Mutant Vehicle, the USS Nevada. Since our inception, the Camp, as well as our legend, has continued to grow and evolve into the well known destination it’s become for all BRC denizens to enjoy!
More history to come as I have the time to add and update this page!

Camp Gallavant News 2/1/12
Ahoy, my trusty crew...!
I apologize for the delay in getting a comprehensive communication to you recently...life's been hectic, to say the least.
I hope you all had a great holiday season and a fun New Years' Eve!
We have a lot to catch up on for this next Burning Man...please read all the info below. There's ticket info, the 2012 Theme, updates from crew members and video from 2011, among other stuff for your perusal.
.....We'd like you to pay particular attention to the situation regarding the funding for the Camp LLC and gear trailer...we're in a "please help now" status and really need everyone to step up immediately! Just a reminder, we still keep all of our Camp/Mutant Vehicle funding "in-house"...we don't solicit funds from our fellow burners (or anyone else, for that matter) for our projects...we're still a firm believer in radical self-reliance (and I hope we always stay that way)!
There's some awesome RV's available for sale listed at the end of this email if anyone's looking for a new playa shelter...!
...also, all the pictures from last year that have been sent to me are posted on the Camp Picture Page (see links in my signature below). If you have any more, please send them along for inclusion.
Remember, if there's anything I've left out or if you have anything you'd like to communicate to the rest of the crew, please send it to me and I'll pass it along...this is still the only "official" means of communication for the Camp...thanks!

1) CAMP LLC & GEAR (Horse) TRAILER
Due to some miscommunication and circumstances well beyond our control, we have a financial problem that needs to be solved immediately.
Here's the situation in a nutshell, laid out very simply by Vice-Admiral Morgan:
.....
Here are our current (financial) requirements:
$400 to apply to the IRS for a 401(c)7 non-profit status.
(This is a social/recreational nonprofit organization which we definitely are)
$500 to reinstate the LLC with Nevada Secretary of State
$1500 for the trailer (outright purchase)
$200 estimate for tax title and transfer of the trailer
-$1000 gracious trailer donation from Wrangler Tom
----------------------
$1600 to make everything right
Now here is an option to reduce costs by $300. If somehow we can classify as a 401(c)3 non-profit (Religious, Educational, Charitable, Scientific, Literary, Testing for Public Safety, to Foster National/International Amateur Sports Competition or Prevention of Cruelty to Children or Animals Organizations) then our LLC reinstatement is only $200. Do we have anyone familiar with the IRS enough to let us know if we can go this route?
Troy
P.S. (Burning Dog) Dan’s neighbor Angel is now asking Dan what is going on with the trailer, as he seems to be getting nervous on the deal now…so the sooner we bed this problem, the better for all involved.
.....
So, what we're asking, is for anyone that can, to please send in your 2012 Camp Dues of $75 at this time to help defray these unexpected costs. If you can't pop for the whole amount right away (and heaven knows just how broke we can be in this economy), then, any portion is greatly welcomed and will be credited towards your full Camp Dues. Also, if for any reason you don't wind up getting a ticket due to the new ticket "lottery" (see below), your dues will either be rolled over to the following year or refunded at a later date when we get financially sound again.
These expenses are unavoidable and necessary for the continued smooth functioning of our entire project.....both the Camp and the Mutant Vehicle.....your help is urgently needed!
We always appreciate everyone's support and we know that you'll come through again this year as you always do!
I'm handling the Camp funds again this year as your Treasurer.
All Camp Fees can be sent via PayPal or check/money order......I PREFER PayPal.
If you use PayPal, PLEASE MARK YOUR TRANSACTION AS "PERSONAL", so you're not charged a "purchase" fee to send the $.
My PayPal account is RICKSAX1@aol.com
.....or you can mail your check/money order to:
Rick Metz
PO Box 1640

.....thanks in advance for your immediate help!

2) TICKETS
I hope you signed up for the ticket "lottery" during the registration process.
As you all probably know by now, the ticket "lottery" is a hot topic among all Burners.
The Regional Lists have been burning up (pardon the pun) with huge amounts of speculation regarding this new process for getting your tickets for BM 2012...and the BM Newsletter, Jack Rabbit Speaks, has been trying to assuage our fears with some information. (If you're not signed up for your regional list or Jack Rabbit Speaks, go to these links: http://regionals.burningman.com & http://www.burningman.com/blackrockcity_yearround/contacts/jrs_lists.html)
There's been news of ticket sales already being confirmed by locals here on the Reno List...looks like things are moving along...hopefully without any glitches!
In case you wind up with ANY extra tickets during this process...please hang on to them and let me know that you have them.
We still don't know how this will all turn out, but, if we can get a few tickets in reserve, then, we can insure that all the crew has tickets.
Here's some more info that might be of use regarding the ticket "lottery"...:
From Ghost...
Below is a note that was sent to the lamplighters email list:
Burning Man ticket update, straight from the ticketing team at this past weekends all staff meeting.
On Tuesday (1/31) or Wednesday (2/1), people who registered will get an email telling them if they got tickets. If they did not, the email will tell you how to register for STEP (secure ticket exchange program)
People who end up with more tickets than then need have the option before the tickets are ever mailed, to sell them back to Burning Man. They get a refund.
Burning Man will take those tickets sold back and redistribute them to people who opt in to the STEP program. You must opt in, it is not automatic.
This way tickets people don't want/need stay out of scalpers hands and people looking for tickets need not meet some stranger in a parking with hundreds of dollars in cash. The STEP program will operate up until physical tickets are mailed out this summer.
Then there is still the secondary sale in March with 10K tickets sold the old fashioned way, first come first served.
From Burning Man...
THE LATEST BURNING MAN TICKET INFORMATION
Here's the latest on the Main Sale for tickets to Burning Man 2012, which will be wrapped up by February 1 ...
It is clear that many people seeking Burning Man tickets for 2012 padded their odds by requesting more tickets than they need, and having friends, family and campmates ALSO register, ALSO requesting more tickets than they need. There are an unexpectedly high number of registrants, and they are requesting 1.7 tickets/person on average.
As a result, a significant number of people will not be awarded tickets in the Main Sale.
And while it may seem at first blush that there's a shortage of tickets available, the reality is that there are now a lot of tickets held by our community that will now simply be redistributed to those who need them. Based on analysis we hold a strong belief that things will settle out over the course of time, once that redistribution takes place, such that most everybody who wants a ticket will find their way to one.
In order to facilitate the redistribution of those extra tickets now in circulation, we have set up the Secure Ticket Exchange Program (STEP). The STEP is a web-based system that will allow Burners to sell their unneeded tickets, and Burners wanting tickets to access them. This will allow for safe and secure transactions in a central place for community-monitored, face-value resales.
We would like to reinforce that we all share responsibility for preventing the scalping of Burning Man tickets. Burners can commit to only selling their tickets at face value, and to never buying tickets above face value. Friends don't let friends buy from scalpers! We can work together by using STEP, keeping a vigilant eye out for scams and inflated-price vending, and reporting known scammers on our ePlaya ticketing thread, here:
http://eplaya.burningman.com/viewforum.php?f=290
As always, you can find full information about Burning Man tickets on our ticket page:
... and there's more about it here on the Burning Blog:
Burning Man actively discourages the use of secondary resources (eBay, Craigslist, StubHub, etc.) for the resale of tickets, and we encourage those who do not obtain tickets from the Main Sale/Open Sale to utilize community-centric sources to keep a handle on this process together. Please use STEP and/or direct local connections to known Burners to find the tickets you seek. We will post information on how to access STEP next week.
TICKET QUESTIONS? TICKET ANSWERS!
Change is always difficult, and If you've got any questions about how the ticket process works, make sure to cruise over to our (admittedly EXTENSIVE, hopefully EXHAUSTIVE) ticket FAQ:

3) ASSORTED STUFF
The last 2 subjects are the biggest things happening at this moment, especially the financial issues, but, here's a lot of info from our Campmates, as well as from Burning Man that you should check out:
From Burning Man...
BURNING MAN 2012 ART THEME: FERTILITY 2.0
Burning Man's art theme for 2012 will be Fertility 2.0, wherein we contemplate the tendency of any being or living system to create abundant life.
Read the full theme text here:

From Andrew (Cock Jesus, Camp Photographer)...
I'm writing because I am officially in a bad spot. I haven’t had any income or job in six months and may be on the verge of not having a place to live here in Boulder, Colorado. I am not sure what options I have at all…I just need help … I may be in need of a place to land, much less finding a job!
I know it's tight for most folks! So I want everyone to know...I'm not looking for donations, as much as I might actually have to relocate very soon...in the next month or so...I might not have a choice. So, what I am more in need of are good leads on jobs and perhaps housing....Any ideas from any Gallavanters are welcome!
From Assistant Navigator Jon. (from England)...
I hope you and all the Camp Gallavant crew are in fine health; I enjoy reading the emails I receive from you as it gives me a sense of belonging.
Last month I was chatting with my good friend Tony about our next visit to the Playa and we were planning on it being 2013 and both really looking forward to it. I am sorry to have to tell you that I am now planning to make this trip alone.
I received news from Tony's brother that Tony passed away in his sleep on 11th December; it is his memorial service on 30th December and I have sent a short eulogy which will be read out by another friend from Berkeley; in it I make specific mention of our times at Burning Man and my memories of it, are of Gallavant.
I have attached two photo' s from our last visit in 2008 and would appreciate it if you could let the rest of the crew know of his passing.
Thanks

From our Scots...
i have finally finished my little burning man film documenting our adventures on the playa and with gallavant. once again from all us scots (weasal, anna, brook and pete), thank you so much for giving us a home on the playa and generally being the best camp mates ever. we all had a wee tear in our eye when we watched the final version all the way through on new years eve. what a magical ride! anna and i will definitely be back in 2013 - with potentially more sexy scots in tow! take care and hope you enjoy the show:

Louisa / Weasal / Luis P'Quis x
Just a short email to touch base...
After being completely adamant that we aren't going to come back to the playa this year, I entered in for a couple of tickets the other day. Brook and I are going to be moving back to the bay area in July/August and the timing is right to do a road trip around the western States in August with our final destination being CAMP GALLAVANT!!
See you on the playa, or hopefully beforehand if we are free for one of the camp work days!!!
Cheers,
Pete and Brook
From Jakob (aka Mr X-citing from the Crazy Danes)...
Hey Rick!!!
wow, so many things to say and thank you for, but I'll sum it up in a huge
THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF THAT AWESOME THING CALLED BURNING MAN!!!!
i miss you, and all the other gallavant fuckers!
well... now that's off my chest, i just recieved word that the epic fog/ship horn is a no-go... I tried, but it's just not possible for me to get my hands on it...sucks huh?
and the ones i could find in the US (the ones that are big enough anyway) are indeed the right, huge swedish models, but quite expensive:
the bright side is, that it probably would be equally expensive to ship a fucker like that overseas...
and...should anyone choose to sell their car to buy one... it'll DEFINITELY kill the yacht horn.... no fucking doubt about it:
- the sound would be something like the first horn in THIS video... or maybe a bit more like one of THESE depending on the age of the horn.
okay well, take care brother
lots of love to you man!

AROMATHERAPY ENTHUSIASTS: JOIN IN THE AROMATHERA POTTY PROJECT
Tracey writes:
"Burners have said that there's no sense of smell on the Playa.
Yet visitors to the porta potties testify otherwise.
I am Tracey of Lamay Camp, Kidsville and last year I 'found my Gift'.
I had brought some essential oils and essential oil blends I created to the Playa to scent my tent for hypnotherapy experience sessions. Finding my visit to our local porta potties less than inspirational, I scented every third porta potty with a blend and put a sign up on the outside of the door indicating the blend and its all-botanical ingredients. When I returned a few hours later to check on the scented porta potties, I found line ups for them! Soon, the Aromathara Potties were the talk of Kidsville. One person even said that it was the highlight of his Burn! So I started to think: What if Aromathera Potties appeared all over Black Rock City? What if aromatherapy enthusiasts shared their gifts at their local porta potties throughout the Burn?
So here's the deal with the Aromathera Potty Project:
1. Contact me so we can get on the same page and so that I can get an overview of the spread of the Project.
2. Select/collect/create a handful of blends or singles (I suggest 30ml of each) to scent your local porta potties with. Here are the "Anarres Emo Oils" I used: http://www.anarreshealth.ca/catalog/3/essential_oils?page=3 I suggest every third or fourth porta potty to make the job manageable for you and to ensure that scent averse folks have a choice not to use an Aromathera Potty.
3. Create non moopy signs to post on the Aromatherapy Potties. Bring 2 per blend in case one goes missing. Be sure that the signs state boldly 'Aromathera Potty Project', name the blend in a fun but accurately evocative way ('Furry Forest' rather than 'Fun Fur' for an evergreen blend) and list all of the ingredients with the common and latin botanical names so that we don't endanger anyone with allergies to specific botanicals. NO SYNTHETIC SCENTS OR PERFUMES, PLEASE AS THESE ARE ALLERGENIC AND NOT NATURAL AND NOT AROMATHERAPEUTIC ETC.
4. Once on the playa, implement your Aromathera Potty Project at your local porta potties! Visit every 4 hours or so, tidy your porta potty and flick drops of essential oil goodness on the walls. It only takes a few minutes and you're done!
5. Marvel at the line ups at 'your' scented Aromathera Potties! Bask in praise, directed and overheard! Rejoice in the gift you are bringing to the Playa Experience!
Let The RRRevolution Begin in Your Senses!

Camp Gallavant News 2/12/12
PLEASE RESPOND--URGENT!!
Ahoy all...!
Now that the dust has settled after the ticket "lottery", there's a lot of planning to do and logistics to work out.
FIRST, AND FOREMOST, WE NEED TO FIND OUT WHO HAS TICKETS AND WHO DOESN'T...!!!
So...I'd like everyone to respond to this email immediately so we can get a "head count" and we can then plan accordingly.
This will also help me update the Camp email list.
Please reply with your name (& playa name, if you have one), current email address and the Camp you're with
(Gallavant/Gallavant Goddesses/NW Mist/Lenny/Risa/other/none of the above), as well as your ticket situation
(i.e. whether you received a confirmed ticket in the lottery or not and how many tickets you have or how many you need).
If you don't respond, I'll assume that you wish to "opt-out" and your email will be removed from the list.
There's a lot of ticket info still to be sent and I'll get to that once we get this update done. That info will include the latest from BM, including info on the next ticket sale happening in March and their plans to rectify the mess that's been created by the "lottery".
I'll also contact all the proper BM people to inform them of our ticket status as it relates to our actually having enough Campmates with tickets to do both the Camp & the Ship this year!
So...once again...please reply immediately...I need to hear from all of you by the end of this week (Sun, 2/19) so we can make an informed decision!
Looking forward to hearing from everyone...thanks for giving this your immediate attention!
Just a reminder, we’re still asking you to send in your 2012 Camp Dues of $75 at this time to help defray the unexpected Camp costs I told you about in the last email (see details below).
Thanks to all that’ve pitched in already...we’re getting closer to our goal...we just need about another dozen of you to help out to get everything covered!
These expenses are unavoidable and necessary for the continued smooth functioning of our entire project.....both the Camp and the Mutant Vehicle.....your help is urgently needed!
Camp Gallavant News 4/6/12
Ahoy all...
Just a quick update...more news to come!
First of all, thanks to all of you that sent your Camp Dues in early to help take care of our financial situation.
The LLC fees have been paid current and Troy (Vice-Admiral Morgan) is taking care of the trailer finances.
I expect to have an update from him soon as to exactly where we stand.
At this point, we'd like to send out another request.
If any of you can help, we need to cover the cost of 3 BM tickets somehow...
they're earmarked for Shipswright Tom, Cap't Ron and his favorite wench, Chrystal Ice.
These 3 core members of Camp Gallavant (& original builders of the USS Nevada) don't have the funds on hand to pay for their BM tickets and we're hoping that someone can float the cost of those tickets until they can pay you back!
Please contact me immediately if you can help!
The deadline to have the tickets purchased with a ticket code is this MONDAY, 4/9!
Thanks.

Camp Gallavant News 3/7/12
(TICKET UPDATE)
Ahoy all...
Thanks to all of you that replied to my previous email...I've updated my mailing list system...gotta keep up with the technology!
So...Camp Gallavant & the USS Nevada have been personally hand-picked by both DMV & Placement to go to the playa this year!
Here's what that entails:
The Camp has been accepted for Placement and the Ship has been accepted for inspection by DMV on the playa...we usually don't get that info until a few months later, but, considering the mess the "lottery" caused, early notification is what they're doing to fix it.
With that notification, we were informed that both Placement & DMV have tickets that are being made available to the groups that have been accepted...!
We will have an allotment of tickets available from both sources to make sure that we have enough crew to properly present our Art.
These tickets will be priced at the top tier for $390+$12 service charge.
I have a list of the ticket status for almost all of you and it looks like we'll be able to get tickets for everyone that needs one...HOORAY!
If you need a ticket and haven't let me know of your status yet...LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY SO I CAN ADD YOU TO THE LIST.
I'm waiting for more info as to how this process will be handled logistically...when I have that info from them, I'll let you all know what you need to do to get your ticket. It'll happen VERY quickly, so, be prepared to have a credit card ready for your purchase.
I've registered Lenny Camp and Goddess Mother is registering the Gallavant Goddesses in case they can get accepted to have their Camp on the playa this year. The acceptance, if it happens, might or might not include a ticket allotment...we'll keep you posted.
If they're accepted, then they'll have their own space...if not, we'll incorporate Lenny Camp & Gallavant Goddesses back into Camp Gallavant, where both Camps started originally.
...Risa & Northwest Mist have also been accepted and will receive a ticket allotment as well.
If you have ANY questions, please ask...I want to make sure that you're all informed with the latest updates.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
ON ANOTHER NOTE:
Thanks to those that have sent their Camp Dues of $75 in early to help defray our unexpected Camp expenses. We're still about $625 short of our goal and we still need your help.
Here's the info I sent previously:
