OK, here's the memo (I just Googled it): The Burning Man Network - 10 Principles Statement of Principles RADICAL INCLUSION Anyone may be a part of Burning Man. We welcome and respect the stranger. No prerequisites exist for participation in our community. GIFTING Burning Man is devoted to acts of gift giving. The value of a gift is unconditional. Gifting does not contemplate a return or an exchange for something of equal value. DECOMMODIFICATION In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, our community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising. We stand ready to protect our culture from such exploitation. We resist the substitution of consumption for participatory experience. RADICAL SELF-RELIANCE Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and rely on his or her inner resources. RADICAL SELF-EXPRESSION Radical self-expression arises from the unique gifts of the individual. No one other than the individual or a collaborating group can determine its content. It is offered as a gift to others. In this spirit, the giver should respect the rights and liberties of the recipient. COMMUNAL EFFORT Our community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote and protect social networks, public spaces, works of art, and methods of communication that support such interaction. CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY We value civil society. Community members who organize events should assume responsibility for public welfare and endeavor to communicate civic responsibilities to participants. They must also assume responsibility for conducting events in accordance with local, state and federal laws. LEAVING NO TRACE Our community respects the environment. We are committed to leaving no physical trace of our activities wherever we gather. We clean up after ourselves and endeavor, whenever possible, to leave such places in a better state than when we found them. PARTICIPATION Our community is committed to a radically participatory ethic. We believe that transformative change, whether in the individual or in society, can occur only through the medium of deeply personal participation. We achieve being through doing. Everyone is invited to work. Everyone is invited to play. We make the world real through actions that open the heart. IMMEDIACY Immediate experience is, in many ways, the most important touchstone of value in our culture. We seek to overcome barriers that stand between us and a recognition of our inner selves, the reality of those around us, participation in society, and contact with a natural world exceeding human powers. No idea can substitute for this experience.

and "Don't expect me to share my goddamned champagne ALL the time---sometimes I want the bottle to myself!" Some others: "Pack extra drugs because someone will invariably lose theirs"

Do this, do that! Help me get the word out for this party---it's going to be really, really fun and I want to get the most insanely amazing cross-sections/clashes I can get. Fresh meat? Bring it! It's a benefit to help a friend fight cancer. * * Burning Solstinox: Connections * * Saturday, March 5th SoMarts - 934 Brannon Street (8-9th Streets, SF) 8pm-4am $17 presale/ $20 door Tix/Info/Volunteer/Participate: www.solstinox.com A Benefit for http://www.friendsofcurtis.com/ Tribe: http://friendsofcurtis.tribe.net Insane DJ action (2 Rooms of Music w/some of my favorite Breaks and Chill!) and, can I tell ya, I can’t wait to do some serious dancing this year! I’ll also be doin’ some a-greetin’ & some a-rubbin’! Soft Spaces to land! Full Bar! Smoking Patio! Back(sides) by popular demand….the Erotic Ice Bar!!! (Pix of it—and some of the folks who’ll be there—in action at http://evilalipresents.tribe.net). Burn-ing Sol-stin-ox n: definition 1. The Saturday night halfway between burns, when we are equally distant from two burns and farthest away from any. 2. A holiday of hope, rebirth, love, and the creative thrill of radical participation, when we celebrate playa joys in default. 3. The night your friends from all around the bay will connect at SomArts, 934 Brannan St, SF, 8PM-4AM. As your psyche switches from its vault of dusty memories to new visions of chaos, spend an outrageous evening in a burning village that will keep that rocking playa vibe alive for another six months. We do this all volunteer, totally non-commercial, and following the 10 Burning Man principles, so radically include yourself and participate! From theme camps to theatrics to art cars, bring it on just like last year, to an environment filled with lighting, art, and a magical trace of dust in the air. (Hmm, I wonder if I’m the only one reading this who doesn’t have the 10 Burning Man Principles memorized….Admittedly-a-Bit-Jaded-Ali)
