WHAT WHERE WHEN GUIDE
It wasn't easy…
Guy goes to the psychiatrist... He says
“Doc, my wife made me come here.
She thinks I’m crazy just because
I like pancakes.” The shrink says “That’s
not so crazy... why, I like pancakes
myself!” The guy says, “You DO? You
should come over to my house! I’ve got
THOUSANDS of them!”
Q: Why did Cinderella get kicked off the
softball team? A: Because she ran away
from the ball!

Question: Why did the hipster
burn his mouth?
Answer: He ate the pizza
before it was cool.
Q: Why couldn’t the baker make his
cake any taller? A: He used too much
shortening.
Two people go into a diner, they sit down
at the counter, order two sodas, and then
take sandwiches out of their packs and
start eating them. The owner sees them
and says, “Hey, you can’t eat your own
sandwiches in here!” The two customers
stop eating, look at each other, and swap
sandwiches.
This WWW Guide had some growing
pains and at times seemed it was
never going to happen. Somehow the
extraordinary do-acracy of this community
got it done. Hooray for people doing stuff!
Playa del Fuego May ’13
The new part of the website which
supports this guide wasn't finished as
swiftly as hoped and the printer needed
more time to print it. That meant
participants, especially the extra-organizeddoing-amazing-spectacular-thing-type of
participant had approximately 15 minutes
to register their camp and enter their
event. There was less time to slap this paper
thing together, too. But it all got done.
In the fall it will be easier. There will be
much more time for people to enter their
info. The new log-in and pages won't be so
new. Stuff will get tweaked, and there'll be
better planning. Things generally will be
less confusing and not rushed.
This community is an engine
that runs on goodwill
The website and this guide aren't created
miraculously. No map, lanyard, guide, sign,
button, parking or camp boundary at this
event began life as a lump of clay. They
each require a team of weirdos who have
specialized skills and complicated lives to
happen. Literally hundreds of people work
together to transform Fire Base Lloyd
twice a year and they contribute in almost
a hundred different ways.
There are many volunteers that need
your help to do their job. Please help
them by honoring their deadlines or what
may seem like a silly, tiny, petty request.
Trust them - they know what they need.
They volunteer so they know they are
awesome. Make it easier for them to do
their volunteer tasks and you become the
awesome one.
As sweet as it is to flatter someone, there
are some volunteers who'd rather get the
help they need from you than flowery
words. So help them out, give them what
they need when they ask for it THEN
whipser sweet nothings to them. Deadlines
aren't sexy, but respect is.

GÜD: GLOSSARY
WHAT IS
PLAYA DEL FUEGO?
Playa del Fuego is the Mid-Atlantic Regional
Burning Man Event. Events are held every
spring and fall, on Memorial Day and
Columbus Day weekends.
Playa del Fuego is an experiment in collaborative community featuring art and music
created by those who join us to participate.
Attendees are known as participants. There
are no spectators at Playa del Fuego; everyone collaborates in some way to create the
event. Inspired by the Burning Man festival,
it is a place for radical self-expression and
an experiment in temporary community
building.
It is a place of acceptance, inclusivity, and
respect. It is organized entirely by volunteers. Art and entertainment is created
solely by participants. There are no concession stands. No cash transactions (except
ice sales) are permitted at Playa del Fuego
- even bartering is discouraged.
This is a sincere experiment in creating a
gift economy. If you need something, ask for
it. If you have it, gift it! There are no garbage
cans: everyone is responsible for packing
out their garbage or throwing it into one of
the handy dumpsters. Playa del Fuego is a
blank canvas: expect nothing...bring everything.

Community Expectations
Playa del Fuego believes its participants
want to be good citizens. Getting to PDF can
be a lot of hard work. We think people genuinely care about the community they work
so hard to contribute to. This document
contains information participants need to
sustain this sincere experiment.
We encourage all participants, newbie to
gnarled, to look over this document and
What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash.
be reminded this experiment in collaborative community is not complete anarchy.
Generally, if something is not covered in the
GÜD, and it is legal in the larger world, it is
allowed at the event.
Community Process —
how the GÜD evolves
These policies were created by the Planning
Committee or the Board of Directors, which
are all volunteer positions. Either a participant submits a proposal to the Planning
Committee and the PC approves it, or not,
or the BOD makes a decision about something because there is compelling safety/
liability or future-of-the-event-issue at stake.
Once something becomes an official event
policy/procedure/ rule via the BOD or PC,
it goes into the GÜD which is compiled by
humble scribes. The best and easiest way
to reach the PC, is via the PONY.
GLOSSARY
PDF - Playa del Fuego
MOOP - matter out of place, anything that is
not indigenous the natural environment you
are in, for example: litter, cigarette butts,
glitter
Rangers - helpful people who rove about in
khaki with radios. They are neither cops,
your mom, nor required to wear utilikilts.
VNVMC - Viet Nam Veterans Motorcycle
Club, our hosts and landlords who refer to
this place as FIRE BASE LLOYD. Be respectful of them.
Coordinator - A super-volunteer who doesn’t
just work a shift, they run an entire department like DPW, PARKING, THEME CAMPS,
or GATE.
Burn - slang for a Burning Man-inspired
event like ours. Burns are not music festivals. A few differences being: at burns there
are no spectators, burns follow The 10 principles, and the pretty girls at burns aren’t
dancing ankle deep in a pile of beer bottles
and cups. “Have a nice burn.”
10 Principles - Burning Man’s version of the
10 Commandments, wherein you are permitted to covet your neighbor’s wife but not to
litter or participate in cash activities like
vending. And so very much more. See 10
Principles in COMMUNITY STANDARDS
Volunteer Central - AKA “Participation
Station”; a large temporary shelter located
next to the red stage. It has volunteer schedules and sign-ups, lost and found, ranger HQ
and radios, copies of the WWW Guide, and
a few shady seats. Good place to go with a
question.
Gate - The Gate are the portals through
which you enter the event. The event has
2 gates, front and back. One gate turns
tickets and valid IDs into official wristbands
during specific hours posted elsewhere. The
back gate is next to the main parking lot
and features the Greeters. Always show your
wristband to the nice people working the
gate when you enter, leave, or bring them a
cold beverage/tasty snack.
PC - The Planning Committee makes the
nuts and bolts choices that run the event.
The Planning Committee is comprised of
literally anyone and everyone who calls the
Planning Meeting conference call or attends
in person. You may attend as many or as
few meetings as you like, however, your vote
only counts for meetings you actually are
a part of. Read more about the PC at the
PONY.
PDF, Inc.- a Maryland not-for-profit corporation recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)3.
PONY - PONY stands for Planning and
Organization Need You. It is the official
online planning and discussion forum for
Playa del Fuego.
BOD - Board of Directors. A dozen or so
unpaid volunteers in search of a hot tub
in which to sit and think. They also handle
all the boring legal parts of the event like
taxes, insurance, liability, and adhering to
our mission.
Comp Tickets -There are no comp tickets at
PDF. Not even for volunteers, artists, DJs,
the Planning Committee, or the Board.
Reserve Tickets - These are used to ensure
that people essential to the smooth operation of the event. Everyone approved for a
reserve ticket must still pay for it. Art Grant
recipients also receive reserve tickets as
art is central to our mission and artists
are bound by contract to be present at the
event.

GÜD: COMMUNITY STANDARDS/TEN PRINCIPLES
COMMUNITY
STANDARDS
PLAYA del FUEGO PRINCIPLES
Self Expression
Our events foster an environment of creative
self-expression, where participants feel
supported to honestly express their inner
selves, through artistic creation, performance, and in their social interactions.
Self Organization
Radical Self-reliance - Burning Man encourages the individual to discover, exercise and
rely on his or her inner resources.
Our events foster an environment of self
organization. The event is 100% volunteer
run. No one gets comp tickets. Everyone is
invited to plan. Everyone is invited to play.
Everyone is invited to work. The Planning
Meetings and Planning Committees are
open to everyone to attend.
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.
Accountability
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.
Our events foster an environment of personal accountability, where we hold ourselves responsible for our own actions, and
take personal responsibility for meeting our
own needs, for the event itself, and for the
event’s impact on the world at large.
Cooperation
Our events foster an environment of cooperation, where participants work together to
resolve potential conflicts respectfully, to help
mediate conflicts between others, and to
create art, performance, and social space on
a larger scale than one person could alone.
Additionally, participants seek to keep events
sustainable by volunteering, cleaning up after
themselves, and assuming personal responsibility for conducting themselves in accordance with local, state and federal laws.
TEN PRINCIPLES
At Playa del Fuego we follow the Ten
Principles of Burning Man. They were written
in the 90s by Larry Harvey to help guide the
many budding regional events like ours.
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.
4
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.
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.
What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash.
GÜD: BOUNDARIES/RANGERS
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.
BOUNDARIES &
EXPECTATIONS
COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS
Playa del Fuego is an experiment in community, ad-hocracy, and do-ocracy. Respect
is fundamental to this community. Please
respect yourself, other participants, and our
hosts. Participants can be held liable for
endangering or injuring other participants
or their property. Please plan all projects
and activities accordingly and use common
sense. Playa del Fuego operates on a gift
economy. It is expected everyone contributes to the community in some meaningful
way and gives as much as they receive.
There are many ways to give; do not limit
yourself to material gifts.
BOUNDARIES
Self Expression and Cooperation require a
social contract to make our event a safe
place to play.
Respect the personal boundaries of others.
• Respect the moment. Comfort levels vary
at different times and with different people.
• Before you assume someone wants your
physical attentions, ASK. Being direct is OK.
It is expected protocol, and sexier than you
might think.
• NO always means NO.
• After someone has said NO, cajoling,
pleading, or any form of emotional blackmail
is UNACCEPTABLE.
• Respecting personal boundaries includes
taking pictures or video, as well as physical
and verbal interaction.
Q: A termite walks into a saloon...
A: and asks, “Is the bar tender here?”
Take responsibility
for your own boundaries
• You must be able to say NO.
• Be sober enough to be in control or make
plans with a friend to have a “designated
driver.”
• How you feel is not magically telegraphed
to others. YOU are in charge of your boundaries.
• You are responsible for yourself but you
can always ask for help. Talk to those
around you (or a Ranger) if someone is making you uncomfortable.
Awareness
• Simply put, should you be doing that
here? Not everything is a good idea everywhere.
• Remain aware of your surroundings and
aware of your actions and make sure you
are in the right place for what you’re doing.
• If you’re not sure if what you’re about to
do is ok where you are, or with those around
you, just ask someone.
RANGERS ARE HERE TO HELP
Rangers are not cops or your mom, but they
do want to try and ensure that everyone
is having the best burn possible. People
who Ranger are usually those friends that
you always know will be there for you. The
PDF Rangers do their thing via the FLAME
method: Find Out, Listen, Analyze, Mediate,
Explain. But you don’t need to be a Ranger
to do this yourself! If something or someone
is bothering you, try to talk to that person
calmly and work it out. If something doesn’t
seem right to you, ask about it - Find Out
what’s going on. You may discover it’s not
really a problem, or you may discover that
it is and that you either need to make a
request, or Explain one of our few rules and
see if you can recruit that person to help
you respect it.
If/when you decide you want help, something is more intense or complicated than
a minor disagreement, or you or a friend
might need help from an outside resource
of any kind, find/ask a Ranger (they are
those funny looking folks in khaki). If you
don’t see one wandering about, head over
to Center Camp where you will find Ranger

GÜD: RULES/ENTRY
Headquarters (behind Participation Station)
and the Ranger Base Radio. There are
instructions posted near the radio on how to
turn it on and call for an available Ranger to
meet you at Part Station. We are ready and
waiting to help you have an awesome PDF!
Interested in becoming a Ranger? Have
you attended at least one PDF prior to
this? If so, feel free to come by Ranger
Headquarters on Friday night at 7pm for
Ranger Training, or ask a Ranger to help
you find Snuggles, our On Site Ranger
Coordinator.
RULES
Rules have consequences.
Consequences may include being ejected
from the event and/or being unable to
attend future events.
Illegal Activity
Please note: Playa del Fuego, Inc. does not
condone ANY illegal activity. We create a
temporary city with its own rules. This city
coexists within an area of real laws. Try to
make that coexistence a peaceful one. Abide
by all relevant local, state and federal laws. If
you see law enforcement officers, be nice to
them. PDF will cooperate with all local, county, state and federal officials. We all share an
interest in having a smooth event.
Be warned: Any ticket holder found driving
while intoxicated/under the influence will be
banned from the event for no less than one
year and possibly for life.
Off Limit Areas
The Vietnam Veterans Motorcycle Club of
Delaware (VNVMC), who owns the land on
which we camp, has indicated that the following areas are 100% off limits. PDF is not
responsible for what happens to you if you
disrespect these areas. At a minimum, you
will be forced to leave:
• Anything to the left of the gravel drive is
off limits except the showers and portapotties next to the showers only. Stay to the
right of the road at all other times.
• The Clubhouse - a yellow and white building
located between the showers and pavilion.
• The Flagpole - located at the right edge of
the gravel road and is near the clubhouse.
6
GÜD: SOUND POLICY
It is surrounded by a fence and is clearly
marked.
• The helicopter, its stand, and the miscellaneous bombs & ammo boxes surrounding it.
• Any buildings, closed fields, or fields with
animals in them.
• Just because it isn’t on the above list,
does not mean you are allowed there. Use
good judgment.
VNVMC Sovereignty at Event
There are unique benefits that come from
holding our event on the VNVMC site but
they are not without a few strings. Our landlords, the VNVMC, reserve the right to object
to actions of our participants and ask those
participants to cease the offending activity
immediately, with no discussion. In other
words, if the Vets say so, it is so. The Vets’
demands supersede anything that may be
contained in this document or may seem
otherwise OK in the larger world.
EVENT ENTRY
Wristbands
Everyone will be required to wear wristbands. Anyone found without a wristband
will be ejected. Replacements can be
acquired at the Front gate during ticketing
hours. If someone asks to see your wristband, it’s cool, just show them.
Re-entry
If you leave the event site, even to just get
something from your car, and wish to reenter, you must be wearing a wristband.
Gate Crashing and Sneak-ins
Gate crashing and sneaking in violates core
principles of our event and are not tolerated. Gate crashers and sneak -ins will be
treated like anyone without a wristband and
be ejected.
Scalped and Counterfeit tickets
Scalped and counterfeit tickets violate core
principles of our event and are not tolerated. Scalped and counterfeit tickets are
void and will not be accepted for admittance
or exchanged for a wristband. Wristbands
obtained with scalped or counterfeit tickets
or in any other nefarious manner may be
voided and the wearer ejected.
What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash.
No Nudity within Site of Gate
Our landlords, the VNVMC requires that all
participants within view of the gates, using
the porta potties at the front gate, outside
the gates, in the parking lot or off the property, dress accordingly – that means modestly.
If you can be seen from the road or a neighboring home, you should be properly attired
for a public setting. Meaning there should
be nothing about your attire that allows others to see parts of your body the law does
not normally allow to be displayed in public.
Generally, if you can see the road or the “outside world” make sure you are covered.
SOUND POLICY
The complete Sound Policy is in the GÜD on our
website. A copy of the GÜD may also be available at
Participation Station or one of the Gates.
Below is an excerpt from our new Sound
Policy. All participants should read and
review it even if the policy does not directly
apply to you. Each of us has a role to play
in our community to ensure that no one person or group puts our event at risk.
Additionally, we have created THE SOUND
RULE below to ensure that members of
our community can safely approach anyone
directly about a sound issue without fear
of retaliation. If you suspect that a camp
or an individual is placing the event at risk
by not adhering to the sound policy, please
approach them as a member of our community and let them know that you believe
that they may be violating the sound policy.
Offer any assistance you can to helping
them to resolve the problem and be sure to
thank them for doing their part to helping
us keep our venue!
THE SOUND RULE
If you suspect that an individual or a camp
is violating the sound policy and may pose
as a disturbance to our landlord’s neighbors,
please approach them IMMEDIATELY with
your concern. If they do not take action or
the action is not satisfactory, please report
the issue to a Sound Committee Member,
Sound Patrol, Sound Marshal, Ranger, Playa
del Fuego Board of Director (BOD) as quickly
as possible.
If you are approached by anyone about
a sound policy violation, you MUST
IMMEDIATELY CORRECT or CEASE the activity which is causing the suspected sound
violation. In particular, if a representative
from the Vets comes by your camp and
raises an issue. If that occurs, reach out
the Sound Committee so that the issue
can be resolved through proper channels. If
you do not take action, you may be directly
placing the entire event at risk which might
lead SEVERE ACTIONS, such as being disbarred from a future event or the immediate
EVICTION of your entire camp.
Who This Policy Applies To
If one or more of the following items are
true, this Sound Policy applies to you and/
or your camp:
1. I bring, manage, and/or support amplified
sound equipment at PDF
2. I use amplified sound equipment (ex. DJ,
musician)
3. I carry or play a musical instrument that
produces audible or sub-audible sound
4. I am part of a camp that in any way
produces sound in any manner which can
be heard from beyond the boundaries of my
camp
5. I carry a megaphone, siren, or produce
loud sounds from any source (ex. whistles,
horns, yelling/screaming etc)
SOUND POLICY SUMMARY
General Info

• T he use of amplification after midnight will
be limited to three (3) authorized sound
camps; these sound camps will be identified by the Sound Committee.

GÜD: PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY
ROLES
PDF Board of Directors (BOD): Board of
Directors have ultimate authority to shut
down some or all sound if deemed necessary. When making a decision to shut down
sound permanently, BOD will make an effort
to have Sound Marshal and/or BOD on duty
and/or Quorum of Directors (a quorum is 3
or more Board Members). Any BOD may shut
down sound temporarily as they see fit.
Sound Sponsor: Camp Leaders or individuals planning to bring amplified sound or
music to PDF must designate a Sound
Sponsor for their amplified sound system.
This person, in conjunction with the Camp
Leader, is responsible for sound levels in
his/her camp. The Sound Sponsor may,
but is not required to be, the Camp Leader.
Sound Sponsor designates alternates and
chooses the individuals designated as Sound
Committee Members for camp. The Sound
Sponsor or one of his/her representatives is
readily available within earshot of the camp
at all times when the sound system is in use.
Sound Marshal: Member of the BOD or other
designee responsible for ensuring PDF-wide
compliance with the sound policy. If there
is a question or mediation required, Sound
Marshal may be called upon to give advice
or make decisions. The Sound Marshal will
work in conjunction with members of the
BOD, but in situations where the Sound
Marshal is not on the BOD, the Marshal
will ultimately defer to the decisions of the
BOD.
Sound Committee: Members dealing with
enforcement. Members are chosen from
within the PDF sound art community and/
or the PDF community at large, identified by the Sound Marshal and approved
by the BOD for dealing with enforcement
of sound policy throughout the PDF community. Sound Committee personnel are

turn off any sound that violates community
standards.
Sound Patrol: This is a participant, a human,
dealing with monitoring and can come from
any part of PDF community. If there is a perceived violation, Sound Committee Members
will report to Sound Committee member for
enforcement. Sound Committee Members
will come from sound camps and the PDF

Committee Member will be on-duty when a
camp sound system is operational.
Participants: This is a participant of the
event (YOU!). If you perceive a violation from
an individual or a camp to any rule contained in this policy, you are encouraged to
invoke THE SOUND RULE and approach the
individual or camp directly and ask them to
resolve the violation. If action is not taken
or is not satisfactory to resolve the violation,

HEALTH & SAFETY
Porta Potties
If it wasn’t made by your body, don’t put it in
the potty. Your wastes and 1-ply toilet paper
are the only things that should be in the potties. “Flushable” baby wipes, tampons, food,
beer bottles, etc. clog the hose of the pottie
truck, damage the pottie truck, make the
pottie man’s life difficult and may result in
our potties not getting emptied on schedule.
See LEAVE NO TRACE, MOOP, and THERE
ARE NO PUBLIC TRASH CANS.
FIRE, BURN BARRELS &
BURNING ART
Fireworks
Fireworks of any kind are prohibited in the
state of Delaware and are not welcome at
the VNVMC.
Firewood
Firewood is included in your ticket price.
It is available while supplies last. Do not
over-feed your fires. Do not take wood from
the main stack. If you have something that
burns a lot of wood, please bring some of
your own, but only bring wood from a local
Delaware vendor to contain invasive insect
species that kill trees.

If you build a fire or light a flame it is your
responsibility to monitor it and ensure for its
safety. Bring a fire extinguisher. Fire spinning
without a safety is prohibited and stupid
dangerous.
Burnable Art
• Burning art is part of our culture at PDF. It is
a symbolic celebration of the cycle of life and
death—we don’t dwell in what we’ve done so
much as we celebrate what we can do.

burn: you must have contacted the Burning
Art Coordinator in advance for approval and
coordination, burningart-lead@playadelfuego.

• There is no guarantee that your art will
burn. Plan other creative ways to destroy
your art that are less reliant on the weather.
• Don’t throw toxic or dangerous things into
a fire.
GARBAGE
No Public Trash Cans
Burn barrels are not trash cans. There are
no public trash cans at this event. At all
times, at all places on the site, you are
responsible for the trash you create. Don’t
ask someone if they have a trash can they don’t.
Leave No Trace
Leave no trace is an important but simple
principle of our community. The goal is to
leave no trace of our amazing event. If possible leave things in better condition than
we found them. That means to not leave
trash, cigarette butts, poop, feathers, sofas,
bacon grease, beer cans, glitter or sequins
behind when we leave. That means to not
harm the environment by scorching the
ground by burning something improperly
or altering or destroying trees or existing
structures. We also don’t leave problems for
other people to deal with.
What’s brown and sticky?
A stick.

GÜD: PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY/PARKING
Dumpsters
Dumpsters are a luxury at PDF that exist
at the insistence of our hosts; most burns
are pack-it-in-pack-it-out. Dumpsters are for
household type trash only. If it does not fit in
a trash bag, it should not go in a dumpster.
No furniture, large items or spooky chemicals
allowed in the dumpster. Do not put ashes in
the dumpster – they belong in the Ash Dump.
Hot ashes set the dumpster on fire. Seriously,
no one wants to deal with a flaming dumpster.
Dumpsters are a huge expense — billed by
weight, so please bring home as much as you
can or minimize what you bring. One way to
bring less trash is to remove excess packaging before you come. See ASH DUMP, LEAVE
NO TRACE, NO PUBLIC TRASH CANS.
Ash Dump
Spent ashes go in the ash dump, not the
dumpster. The location of the ash dump has
changed now and then. Ask a Ranger, DPW
or smartie-pants where it is. Wise campers
stop their fires early Sunday evening so their
ashes are cold during Pack Out on Monday.
Recycling
There are several recycling centers near the
shopping centers in town. Participants are
encouraged to collect their recycling and
drop it off at one of these centers, or bring
it home for your local pickup.
Water as a “Trace”
Water leaves a trace and should be used
thoughtfully. Private “sun” and other types
of showers, kiddie pools, vigorous washing up, dish washing, and other large water
uses are discouraged and should only
be used when a plan on how to disperse
the water properly is in place. In general,
small amounts of gray water should be
dumped into existing ditches on the site.
Grey water should not be dumped onto the
ground in areas where people are camping. Be especially careful using water near
roads and pathways. Muddy paths are a
nuisance and can be a safety hazard. See
LEAVE NO TRACE.
• All grey water must be dealt with appropriately and in accordance to event policy. ie,
it cannot be dumped out on the ground and
must either be packed out or disposed of at
appropriate drain location. If you don’t know
where an appropriate spot is, it is YOUR
responsibility to find out. See WATER AS A
TRACE.
• All filled pools must be either attended
by an adult 18 years or older or somehow
locked up or fenced in at all times.
Vending/Gifting
Vending of any kind is not allowed. This
includes promotion of other events. Gifting
does not equal bartering, nor are you entitled to anything. It’s only a gift when offered
freely - taking something because you want
it is still theft at PDF. Ask permission before
taking or touching anything or anyone.
Generators
Generators must be attended at all times,
as they are a fire hazard. Generators create many types of pollution including noise
pollution and should be used thoughtfully.
Generators should be boxed to minimize
their polluting effects. If a generator must
be used, it should be sited in such a way
to minimize its effect on neighbors and the
community.
No Dogs
Dogs are prohibited (with the exception of
service animals) at the event due to the
presence of local dogs and a history of territorial issues. For other pets, you are urged
to consider whether PDF is an appropriately
safe environment. Some animals do not
respond well to change, and pets have
escaped and even died in the past.
EVENT/SITE GUIDE
For complete information about admissions
and directions please seen the unedited

Parking
Pools
Pools by definition are any body of water
used explicitly or in some part to bathe,
swim or cool off.
• Pools filled with liquid are only allowed in
10
personal or theme camp areas. They can
not be placed in communal areas.
The parking station is located on the outside of the back entrance in the back field.
When you enter the property please follow
the signs to the main lot. Once through the
overflow/Large truck lot you will be greeted
What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash.
GÜD: PARKING/AMENITIES
by one of our flaggers who will ask to see
your wrist bands and whether you are parking or need to enter the event for dropping
off your gear.
1. Parking: It is important to follow the
flaggers and park where they ask you to in
order to maximize the number of available
parking spaces. If there is not a flagger,
please follow signs and avoid parking in
roadways or paths.
2. Drop offs: If you are dropping off your
gear, please follow the flaggers’ instructions
to proceed to the parking tent to receive a
temporary parking pass.
NOTE: Passes are for 30 minutes only.
Please do not stay on site with your car for
more than 30 minutes and fer goodness’
sake, remember to pick up your license!
While we try our best to get your license back
to you if you forget it, we are not responsible
for your license if it is left at the event. The
Log book will be put away Sunday evening!
Temporary Unloading Passes
So that everyone gets a chance to come in
and unload in a timely manner, your temporary unloading pass allows you no more
than 30 minutes to unload your vehicle. If
you leave your vehicle inside longer than
30 minutes, you may be towed. If you
return your pass in less than 30 minutes,
parking is free! Unload your equipment
and return your vehicle. Do not hunt down
all your friends or set up your camp now.
Communicate with your campmates in
advance so that you may proceed directly
to where you plan to camp. But please only drive on marked roads, for everyone’s
safety!
Once you unload your vehicle, return promptly to the front gate, return your parking pass
and collect your license. When returning
your passes please pull over to the side
of the road and do not block traffic coming
in our out of the event. Someone at the
greeter station will then give you directions
to the back lot where you should park as
directed. You should not park in the front lot
unless directed to do so by someone at the
greeter station.
On-Site Parking Passes
On-site vehicle passes are available by preregistration only. If you have not reserved
an on-site pass, you may not sleep in your
vehicle. Please park your vehicle where
instructed to by the volunteers at the gate.
Once parked on-site, your vehicle must stay
there until you leave the event - you cannot
drive it out and re-enter. Issued On-site parking passes must be displayed at all times.
Greeting
Once you’ve gotten wristbands and parked
your car, head inside and you will be greeted
by our greeter team inside the back gate.
Their mission is to give you hugs, a What
Where When event guide, explain the 10
principles, spank virgins, answer simple
questions and provide information (like
where to volunteer, nudge-nudge). Spanking
is optional, butt (butt!) it is always appropriate to approach a Greeter bearing gifts.
Art Cars
Art cars are permitted on site but must be
pre-registered and remain parked.
Re-entry
If you leave the event site - even to just get
something from your car - and wish to reenter, you must be wearing a wristband.
AMENITIES
Water
There is usually water available in 3 places.
Exact location subject to change. Look for
blue flags on site to mark the water:
• Near the Pavilion and sink
• Near the red former horse barn
• Between Field 5 and 6.
Please be mindful of mud as MOOP - don’t
leave hoses running to create hazardous
swamps. See also LEAVE NO TRACE, WATER
AS A TRACE
Ice
Ice is available to purchase from the vets.
Bring cash, small bills appreciated.
Showers
There are 2 sets of showers on site. They
are a luxury. Be brief to conserve water,
especially hot water, as supplies are limited.
Playa del Fuego | May Two Thousand & Thirteen
11
GÜD: AMENITIES/PREPARATION
No electrical outlets are available at the
showers. All personal items brought into
the shower including toiletries, garments
and trash must be taken with you when you
leave the shower. See LEAVE NO TRACE,
MOOP, THERE ARE NO PUBLIC TRASH CANS.
Generally, the cinder block hut with stalls
near the Vet’s yellow building is single sex,
single user. Co-ed and co-showers are more
easily accommodated in the large open
showers next to the red barn. At the cinderblock showers people wishing to shower
together, or shower on the opposite gender’s
side should ask consent of all those they
would be showering with. Our event is inclusive to all genders and sexual orientations,
and that includes the showers, too. Don’t
like it? Come back later. If someone is making you uncomfortable in the showers, or
anywhere at the event, or is acting without
your consent, speak up-let them know. If
that doesn’t help, ask a ranger to FLAME
the situation.
Local Supplies
The shopping center at the intersection of
301 and 299 includes a major hardware
store, a big-box discount department store, a
grocery store, a drug store, a dollar store and
several restaurants. The shopping center at
896 and 301 just south of 95 includes a grocery store and other stores. Many new strip
malls have been built in the Middletown area
in the recent years.
Pavilion
Feel free to use the pavilion for cooking
and dining and playing, but please practice
Leave No Trace and clean up after yourself
when you are done. Do not leave behind
leftover food for the taking - the best way
to get rid of leftovers is to “take them for a
walk” and offer them to other people. If the
pavilion is not kept clean, pavilion privileges
may be lost. They yellow building adjacent
to the Pavilion belongs to our landlords and
is strictly off limits. See LEAVE NO TRACE,
MOOP, THERE ARE NO PUBLIC TRASH CANS.
Stage
Those with stage time may want to consult
an event guide to see if their time coincides with other events, like art burns. PDF
org provides sound equipment. Any other
equipment needed by performers is up to

GÜD: MAYOR/GUIDELINES & ART
the performer to provide. If you have questions, look for DJ Matt at Camp Fogie or
Participation Station.
WEATHER AND CONDITIONS
Be Prepared for Weather Extremes
Our event is held rain or shine. It has been
held during Nor’Easters, severe thunderstorms, coastal flooding, plagues of insects,
and record heat and cold. A shade or rain
structure can be helpful. Be sure to properly
stake or rebar any structures you erect. Tents
have blown out of the event grounds, becoming MOOP. Shade structures have become
wind borne and hit people in the head.
Insects
Be prepared for a variety of biting, stinging
and annoying insects. If you know you have
an allergy, bring the supplies you need to
stay healthy.
Mud Burn
Park at your own risk. If there is rain many
areas will get swampy, and your car may
get stuck. Do not spin your tires if you get
stuck; find people to push or tow you out
safely. The parking lot and roads may have
to be closed if conditions are severe and a
carry in/carry out situation could happen.
PREPARATION
Really Radical Self Reliance
Playa del Fuego is an exercise in radical
self-reliance. Bring everything you are going
to need, including food, water, shelter, basic
medications and hygiene products. Gifts
are a wonderful expression of community,
but you must take responsibility for your
own survival and well-being. Do not show
up expecting the community to take care of
you. We have dedicated volunteers who are
also EMTs on site, but they are an emergency resource only. Do not rely on them for
basic OTC medications.
Planning, Participation &
Organization
There is a vast hive of activity behind the
super-slick, seamless production of Playa
del Fuego. We would LOVE to have your
help! Want the skinny on the world behind
the curtain? Go online and read this section
to find out about art, volunteers, the Board
of Directors, emails and more.
What, Where, When Guide | Educate. Inform. Brainwash.
A RT
Mayor
Each event there is a Mayor. The Mayor for
Spring PDF 2013 is Amy Prime. Look for the
for the big tall blonde gal with the lanyard
that says “MAYOR.”
What the heck is the Mayor of PDF? Pretty
simple - besides wearing something spiffy,
the Mayor is a member of the board whose
job it is to listen to community members. So
if you have concerns, ideas, topics to consider, complaints, worries, or want to offer a
“bribe” find the Mayor. You can, of course,
talk to any board member any time, but the
Mayor is someone who has made themselves conspicuous for your convenience. If
you have any questions, hugs, or concerns
look for the Mayor.
GUIDELINES
Not rules, but friendly suggestions to make
things easier on you and everyone else.
Social Media
Posting photos to social media sites
removes your control of the photos and of
the ‘ask first’ arrangement made with other
participants. By posting, you give ownership
of those photos to the social media sites.
Theses sites retain those photos even if you
delete them. Think twice before giving your
art to social media sites.
Hydration
Dehydration is a very serious risk at PDF;
DRINK WATER, and lots of it. Alcohol and
caffeine dehydrate you; it is not water. Water
is not sold at the event (except in the form
of ice), so bring all the water you will need.
We strongly recommend a minimum of 2-3
gallons a day for drinking, cooking, and
hygiene. Signs of dehydration:
• Feeling uncharacteristically cranky
• Rapid or sudden weight loss
• Increasing thirst
• Dry mouth
• Cessation of sweating
• Weakness or lightheadedness particularly
if worsening on standing
Art is central to the mission and experience
of Playa del Fuego. All participants are
welcome to apply for an Art Grant. Watch
the website for details and deadlines.

Have you ever seen a reef while snorkeling?
It is the closest thing to an alien planet, right
here on our planet, as we can get. Back in
1977 the movie “Close encounters of a Third
Kind” had a scene where Richard Dryfus’
character Roy goes crazy and builds a scale
model of Devil’s Tower in his rec-room using
whatever he can find around the house. Since
1977 that is all I’ve been doing; building
strange scenes from my mind in the middle
of the house. Reef is the latest.

in the space log and then come back on
Sunday to hear it read aloud.

share camp swag, disjointed conversation and
real hugs.
