Well, we had a great time; and we made it back to the default world.  Hope you did too.

Here is a first small photo of our village from the sky.  I’ll post more as I get them.

We are packed and heading out to setup the AEZ village.  If you wanted to camp with us.  Come by on the playa and ask.

If you are already registered, swell; we’ll see you soon!

And bring sunblock, it’s going to be HOT for the first few days, then drop to the mid-90′s by next wed.

Have fun!

Jolly Roger -Mayor

Troy has knocked himself out and the map is completed.

 

You want a change.  email me, but I doubt if we can do much before we get onto the Playa.

And rest assumed, once we are out there, we can do a lot to make your space work.  (We do it every year.)

 

Don’t forget your ticket.   – Jolly Roger

Welcome to the AEZ website.

If you are exploring for lots of tips, info, and being generator free on the playa, you’ll find it all OVER this website. Look at the tabs at the top of the page.  Or search for what you are interested in.

Camping in the AEZ

If you are interested in doing Burning Man with friendly folk (mostly), and without generators (ever); then you have come to a good place.

We are now at 320 (in 53 camps).
Not bad for April 16th.

If you want to camp in the AEZ, go to the Village Camping page.

You are always welcome to send me a message.

We have struggled (as MANY of you have) with the ticketing problems.  Sadly, we do NOT have any more direct ticket links.  And you are welcome to register to camp with us even if you do not yet have your tickets.

I love you all, but I need to get the final surveys organised.

The latest map has been posted to the camping section of the site. As well as PDF’s and a gridded version for layout.

If there is anything missing, I can make try to make changes, but won’t be posting any new maps. Any other changes will have to be sorted out on the playa.

We are still taking applications (No one turned away) but they will be waitlisted and you may have to take your chances when you get there on the playa.

Yes that’s right, no more crazy curves, just straight lines and clearly defined boundaries.

I expect everyone to have a white picket fence around their camps.

We’ve been here for many years living an alternative energy lifestyle both on and off the playa.

This is your (mostly) trusty Mayor here. I don’t have much to say very often, but when I do it is usually useful and valuable information, especially if you want to camp with us in BRC.

The AEZ Village invites you to join us. What started as a theme camp has grown into a true village. Friends, family and tribe; all of a heart to tread more lightly on the playa.
