Midwest Burners

Now most of us aren’t going to be able to make it on site by whimsically dancing through a magical portal of mushrooms. For those that are, lucky you, we can talk later.

For the REST of US, we need to think about what we’re doing with those big default world car things while we burn!

Interfuse has limited space, a lot of grass, and is known to get wet and muddy, so some guidance is helpful.

• All vehicles may enter the burn for up to two hours, before returning to the parking lot. Please use this time to find your ideal spot or placed camp and unload. By the end of the two hours you need to return your vehicle to the main parking lot.
• You may access your vehicle at any time in the parking lot. You can not however leave the grounds or parking lot and expect to return.
• Any vehicle that is to be parked within the gates needs a parking pass. Our goal is to limit the number of vehicles within the burn. This improves our ability to respond to emergencies, decreases the default world intrusion, and generally makes a prettier landscape. In addition any parked vehicle needs to make an attempt to be decomidified.

Volunteer Sign Ups are open!!

We would all like to take a moment to thank Star for her years of very public and very devoted work as the Interfuse Volunteer Coordinator. But as all things come to pass, she has handed the position off to her successor, Cree!

Cree will be assisting Star in volunteer coordination. Cree has been burning since IF 2017. She lives partially off grid in a grain bin and does taxes for fun. Please direct questions about volunteering to Cree or the department lead.Cree can be reached on social media interacting on our Facebook Groups as Cree Homestead.Beginning this year, volunteers who log 4 hours of volunteering with an official department and making sure to sign in, will be awarded with a link to participate in the presale for 2024.

Below, Jimmy Fallon will link you you back to the post with all of our volunteer opportunities. Mobile web browsers struggle with the sign ups, for best results view on a PC or Mac.

Theme Camps

Volunteering at Burning Man doesn’t stop with the volunteering for the Man. Volunteering can take on many forms. From helping your neighbor to tie down his testy shade structure, to lending a hand (and a hammer) to that artist gal down the street putting the finishing touches on her masterpiece, it’s all volunteering at Burning Man!

• Camp registration will close Sunday night, 11:59 PM April 16th
• There has been a minor adjustment regarding the Red Light (18+ age area), so now there are not all age camps across the street from adult oriented themes.
• Make sure this area is well contained, and any risqué activities stay inside enclosed spaces.

When this program was began we planned to slowly increase the hours required. The objective to increase our amount of volunteers which will allow us to grow as an event.

The Covid-19 pandemic put a damper on that plans growth target, but it is time for us to rise to the occasion.

That’s a great question, and I’m glad I wrote it there! If you weren’t able to volunteer so many hours, or even unable to attend last year, our general sale will have two phases this year to be more accommodating to various availability we all have.
