SOAK* 2012 :: Theme announced |
SOAK* 2012 ::Time Travel Field Trip :: June
21-24, MMXII
Our scientists have reported the discovery of
several
chronocosmic time waves of unprecedented size converging on Prindel
Creek Farm in Tidewater Oregon on June 21 in the year 2012 CE. The
sheer magnitude of these waves practically guarantees the opening of
several large cross-time rifts connecting the Jurassic period,
vaudeville, Steampunk, Europe, new baroque, 1987, and twenty-third
century Mars, all in the span of a weekend in the Oregon forest.
Further scans
of this location reveal lush meadows nearby,
several odd geodesic structures, a creek for
swimming and numerous time-loop trails to
explore.
Your mission is to use your timeship to
participate in this unprecedented creative clash of cultures, interact
with the arts, and find out more about a group of strange people who
call
themselves "Burners," known to be in the area around this datetime. Is
there a connection? What will you find? Bring
back evidence of your discoveries, and of course LEAVE NO TRACE.
More mission briefings & standard issue chrono-survival guides will be transmitted
... in the FUTURE. Stay tuned!

Effigy. Having an effigy is a primary consideration for SOAK*, and Prindel Creek offers a large meadow with ample room for art projects and an effigy this year in addition to the Appetizer burn and a potential Temple project. There is much potential to look forward to! On that note, we are accepting proposals for the SOAK* effigy design. Some excellent designs have already been submitted. If you have a design concept you would like to submit for consideration, please email effigy.soak2012 (at) burningmanportland.com. It is not necessary for the effigy to be related to the theme, but it's worth consideration and we would like to give some time for proposals that are designed around the theme (we'll be settling on a theme about a week after they are presented at the the Town Hall). Final deadline for effigy submissions is April 15th. We hope to see something bigger and bolder that people can climb on. You can also suggest a theme for SOAK online at: http://bit.ly/fW2Wk9
Center camp features a stage for music and performances, and a covered pavilion with benches for folks to gather. There are two public designated fire pits. As always, open ground camp fires are not permitted.
Swimming. There's a freshwater creek with a small waterfall that runs along the site which will give people a chance to cool off.
Getting there. Prindel Creek Farm is approximately 2.5 hours from Portland with pavement up to the main gate near the main field. So we will be able to accommodate Art Cars and Mutant Vehicles this year. The main field is also larger so we'll have more room for parking near the camp site. As in past years we'll likely need to prohibit super-size RVs and trailers to make sure there's room for everyone, and we do expect higher attendance this year.
We're still working on a template for the site, and we will be sorting out placement for theme camps and projects. The crew is excited about the space and we see a lot of possibilities here. More details soon and at the town hall. For more information about the new location please attend the upcoming town hall.
