quote:BLM wants $1 million VIP compound from Burning Man
...
Among the amenities included in the request are flushing toilets to be cleaned daily by Burning Man staff, a laundry with washers and dryers, on-demand hot water, air conditioning, vanity mirrors, refrigerators and couches.
...
BLM officials contend that their staff can no longer stay in the "primitive" accommodations available in Gerlach, which is about 20 minutes from the event location.
"We're very concerned about where we put people that are part of our staff and that are part of the support and permitting," said BLM Winnemucca District Manager Gene Seidlitz.
"It's safe to say that if you were working 14 to 16 hours a day in white-out conditions on the hot playa, you don't want them to be unrested.
...
Details of the request were included in an email exchange obtained by the RGJ between a Burning Man official and Bob Abbey, the former BLM director who is now a consultant for Burning Man organizers.
"Having been a career BLM employee, I expect agency employees to behave competently and professionally in their interactions with the public," Abbey said in his email. "I don't see these traits being applied in their dealings with (Black Rock City)."
Abbey went on to say that BLM won't "change their strategy of threatening your permit until you agree to everything they are demanding including the latest BS proposal for providing VIP facilities for law enforcement and (Department of Interior) officials."
BLM Special Agent Dan Love of Salt Lake City was cited multiple times as the person behind many of the BLM requests, according to the emails. He did not return requests for comment. Love also led the BLM operation against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy that ended in a standoff with Bundy's armed supporters.
...
Who are the VIPs?
While one map names some of the government officials who will be staying at the compound, it does not name the dozen or so "VIPs."
The RGJ has filed a Freedom of Information Act request for the schedules of federal officials who could be at the event.
Fat little piggy went to market free butter.

Those demands by the BLM, unprecedented in Burning Man's history, have turned into a point of contention as organizers negotiate with the agency for their annual permit to stage the event in the Black Rock Desert this summer.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., sent a letter Friday to Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell following the Reno Gazette-Journal's investigation into lavish demands the U.S. Bureau of Land Management made to Burning Man organizers.
Rep. Mark Amodei, R-Nev., also reacted to the news that BLM is demanding Burning Man provide a $1 million encampment for federal agents at the event this summer. He said he's concerned about the ethics of BLM's request.

quote:DPW
The Department of Public Works (DPW) undertakes the massive task of building, maintaining, and cleaning up Black Rock City. The city occupies over 4 square miles. Its facilities are assembled from 200 lampposts, 2,000 street signs, over 6,000 t-stakes, several thousand concrete form stakes, and 12 miles of fence. It encompasses an airport, banks of port-a-potties, several temporary buildings, acres of shade structure, 24 burn platforms, and 200 burn barrels. The construction of this metropolis requires thousands of hours of labor by hundreds of dedicated workers, all accomplished in a month’s time, in very harsh high-desert conditions a hundred miles from the nearest source of building supplies. Transportation, food service, sanitation, material acquisition, living quarters, fuel, and equipment maintenance are just some of the tasks to be managed. Logistics alone can be a daunting challenge.
BMO pockets a lot of money in ways that I think suck, but theres no reason to allow the piggies to demand endless butter and flushing toilets in the middle of a no-city-infrastructure salt flat via an extortion letter.
I mean this is a real issue (unlike the cops needing butter fountains):
http://burners.me/2014/09/27/burnileaks-workers-want-rights/
quote:Issues relating to common labor rights
These are things that break federal or state labor laws.
1. Workers are often paid far below minimum wage for manual labor, and do not receive overtime pay.
2. Workers often do not receive forced breaks or the correct amount of days off. Some worked weeks straight, and were on-call at night.
3. Workers are discouraged from sharing information about pay with each other.
4. Workers are not provided with adequate safety gear or training.
5. Workers are discouraged from organizing and in some cases, intimidated in response.
6. Volunteers may work for many years without reimbursement or consideration for the value of their experience.
7. Budgets and pay rates stay the same every year and are not adjusted for inflation, but workers are asked to do more every year – meaning that every year the entire paid workforce effectively receives a pay cut.
8. Managers, Board members, and crew members are allowed to get away with harassment and assault of other crew members and keep their jobs
Its actually a longer article, thats just the core list.

Huh.
quote:Burning Man festival hit with horrifying infestation as CEO considers moving event to Utah
Organizers of the Burning Man festival confirmed that the Nevada-based event has some uninvited guests this year — a massive mosquito infestation, Business Insider reported.
“What’s going on? We don’t know. We don’t know how the little critters survive in the heat and the sun,” John Curley wrote in the festival blog. “All we know is that if you pick up some wood, you’re likely to uncover hundreds or thousands of the things. They’ve blown up inches deep against the sides of the Commissary tent. They’ve covered the carpets at the Depot. They’re all over the Man Base. So it’s not a localized occurrence, it’s everywhere.”
...
KNTV-TV identified the bugs as mosquitos, adding that organizers are determining whether they pose a health threat to festival goers
As the event grapples with the plague, music site Less Than 3 reported that, according to CEO Marian Goodell, she is looking “longingly” toward perhaps moving the event to Utah, citing a 9 percent entertainment tax levied against Burning Man under Nevada law.

They are considering moving to Utah because of the 9% entertainment tax, not because of the bugs.

The rest of the camp are just regular burners, and they work like dogs to get that camp set up.
https://www.reddit.com/r/BurningMan/comments/512486/vandals_ransacked_white_ocean_camp/
quote:I was invited as part of a group to support an art installation. Turns out it was owned by some rich guy and their idea of a camp was for the small group of rich guy and friends to sit around smoking cigarettes and drinking all day, while the rest of us prepared meals, dealt with trash, and hunted down pump trucks to service their RVs.
I met some wonderful people at the 2015 burn, but I will never again be tricked into being manual labor for useless parasites who didn't give a flying gently caress about the principles of Burning Man.
I feel bad for the white ocean staffers who had to deal with entitled rich dickheads demanding everything be fixed right away.
But someone also said this:
quote:Rumor : this was not some anti-PnP/occupy playa "direct action", but payback from some equally "connected" and extremely dissatisfied customers from last year, who may have been turned away at the airport on the basis of dodgy tickets supplied by White Ocean as part of expensive vacation package.
In general the walled off camps need to be forbidden. You go out there youre there. No walls and no servants.

I keep hearing about burning man and it seems like a rainbow gathering for rich assholes, but with booze, portapotties, police, and cars.
Is that about right?
Theres 70000 people ranging from the poorest poors that get there somehow to the most obnoxious billionaires that fly in to take a selfie and leave.
