“Is the current story about your resignation in the Jack Rabbit Speaks true?”

Yes, it is true. I have resigned from the Board of Directors of the Burning Man Project. Let’s be real: they weren’t going to kick me out, were they? 😉

Being on the board of directors started to have a teensy weensy bit of negative impact on my pet project of building extravagant theme camps. If I hadn’t been on the board, nobody would have ever heard of Caravancicle. We would have anonymously sat in the middle of a cluster of hyper-expensive concierge camps and nobody would have batted an eye. The negative press generated by my association with the Burning Man Project has impacted our camp in several ways:

We had to drop our trademarked ‘Sherpa Wear’ line of clothes.

Our Mistresses of Merriment have asked for post-playa doctor visits to be reimbursed.

Most of our volunteers have demanded to be paid.

Our Guides tried to unionize, and even demanded overtime!

None of these things would have happened if I had not joined the board. The bottom line is that the only reason I joined the board was for access to tickets. Now that Larry has decreed that Plug-n-Play camps get real placement, that need has been alleviated. We simply applied as a theme camp, and we got all the tickets we needed. Once that was a done deal, I promptly resigned from the board.

Ironically, it is all the bruhaha over Caravancicle that has finally opened the door to getting Plun-n-Play camps the respect, and more importantly the placement, they deserve. For that, I wish to thank you and everyone else who made such a fuss. Out of the shadows and into the light. You got us the recognition that money alone hadn’t been able to buy!
