Yep, it's going to be hot. From experience at Burning Man though, i'd recommend covering your tent in reflective emergency blankets - the tin foil like things - because it keeps the sun out, and the tent cool. And kind of makes your tent look like a spaceship They're not expensive, and make a big difference.

Also if you put up an awning over your tent, that will offer some shade, further helping it to be a bit cooler.

wooooo
won't make it to this one, but it looks like it will be fantastically fun for you all!! maybe see you at the one after this..

What if I should fall right through the centre of the Earth and come out the other side where people walk upside-down?!

plus the quest of finding a spot that's shaded in the morning by the shadow of a building is always a good plan.

The building is on the western edge of the site, which unfortunately means that finding morning shade from it isn't an option for campers!

Pre-registration through your local friendly country rep will open soon - fliers are currently being translated. UK people will be able to pre-reg through Ali at the BJC as far as I know.

Please pre-register. Really, please please pre-register.

If you don't pre-register, the convention organisers don't know how much money they have to make a better convention for you. Last year, EJC Millstreet's pre-registration was so low that it meant that we:

1. Cancelled a big top
2. Couldn't invite some artists who we wanted there
3. Couldn't afford to decorate the site, the hall, the fire area etc.
4. Couldn't afford an extra PA for random music around the site
5. Couldn't make costumes/banners etc for the parade, or a nice backdrop for the stage
6. Couldn't buy nice little thank you gifts for volunteers (we wanted to)
7. Had many many sleepless nights - at one stage it looked as if we would make a massive loss.

In the end, we could have done all of the above - but we didn't know that, because so few people pre-registered.

Hope to see you all there

Hey... What's the best option for cheap tickets from UK to Greece?

Point your toes.

Posted: 7th Jul 2007
There are lots of "budget airlines". I can only suggest looking to see for cheap deals?
In the UK there's Ryan Air, Easyjet, BMI baby, British Airways... um can't think of anymore at the moment.

You're going from Play aren't you? Me and Conor are going from Gatwick on the Monday straight from play. We got our return flights for £115 from Easyjet.

Posted: 7th Jul 2007
Hi Red RaveN,

I'll have an email address for you soon - their volunteer co-ordinator Danae contacted me recently, but I'm just checking that it's ok to post their email address here. I know they definately will welcome all offers of help

I'm not sure what the problem with the site is, but I'm sure they'll have it sorted soon. More info when I have it,

Helen
