Help bring back the Opulent Temple in 2008 (and get some AMAZING music in return...)
|
The Opulent Temple recently finished up it's 5 year in a row on the playa. In term of our production and crowds that enjoyed our creation, it was our biggest and best year ever! Sadly, despite our best efforts we are massively in debt.
We will not be able to come back in 2008 unless we get wide community suport to pay down our debt. No bullshit.
Select super cool DJs are pitching in by allowing us to share recordings of their past sets at the Opulent Temple with people who make donations. You can hear it just like it happened from the likes of Paul Oakenfold, Lee Coombs, Christopher Lawrence, DJ Dan, Dylan Rhymes, Rabbit in the Moon, the Scumfrog, Ali B, and others
See the Opulent Music page for more info on how to get some music!
Like all sound & art camps, we are totally self funded by fundraising parties, camp members paying dues, and most importantly, the support of the wider Burning Man community. Unlike other select art projects throught art grant system, sound camps receive ZERO financial support from the Burning Man organization despite having massive budgets and providing interactive art zones among the most popular out there.
*** So that you know, our budget goes towards fabrication and production costs, transportation, power / gennie rental, sound rental, camp infrastructure, and storage costs. We do not and have never paid dj's to play or pay their way through Burning Man. So please know your donations are going to help us pay back our hard costs and not anyone's free ride. ***
SO! Please help. Even small amounts add up to something great.
Our current debt is ~ $20,000 spread out over 10 different camp members who loaned the camp money.
