ETHOS
Setting: Build Week of June Jam #1 in 2019
Conditions: Wet
Vibes: Cautiously Optimistic
Timestamp: Mid Afternoon two days before gates open
Context: Lightning strikes are reported from all directions within miles of Playa Ponderosa and our Site Ops Director wisely issues an order to shelter in place.
Status of Partners and Crew: Our Aesthetic Director takes refuge in the Beautification Station and jumps on top of an antique chaise lounge - safely off the ground and fully convinced this is his Final Destination™.
The Site Ops crew is in one of our shipping containers decorating the walls with unspeakably lewd sharpie grafitti.
Build hands and lighting crews take shelter under half-built stage decking.
Our Talent Buyer still hasn't arrived onsite.
Our Festival Director posts up in a travel trailer.
During the much-needed break our friend Rabbit asks us:
"Since you guys are Burners, what's your version of the 10 Principles? What do you really believe in?"
And that's what you're reading below. It's our guarantee to the community and a reference point for us to be accountable to ourselves.
All seven points are equally important and all boils down to one thing...
Don't Be a Dick.
Accountability & Consent
Self Care & Generosity
Purity of Heart
We/Us is our Pronoun
Giving a Shit
Levity
Don't Be a Dick
