April Newsletter
Greetings Soft Landing!
This year’s Burn will be here before we know it! Please read below for opportunities to contribute to Soft Landing and create an amazing experience this year.
Intent to Camp / Space Request Form
In late May, we will be sending out an “Intent to Camp / Space Request” form; this will replace the previous forms we’ve used to capture information on RVs, etc. This will help us to begin drafting camp layout and start getting a sense of who is planning to get dusty with us next year! Start planning now so that you can share information on your shade needs, tent / RV / camper size, and pod members. Start planning now!
Tickets
The “tomorrow sale” (formerly known as the “main sale”) registration is open. If you are still looking for a ticket, register NOW. Then set your alarms for April 30 at noon (PDT) to get your ticket. More information can be found at tickets.burningman.org.
Recruiting Now for Build and Strike
Build is an opportunity to bring our camp to life, to build new & lasting relationships, and to see the city literally grow before your own eyes! Strike (camp teardown) is essential to return the Playa to its natural state and to ready our infrastructure for future years. In addition to being of great service to our camp (and to the playa!), build and strike count toward your camp shifts.

Teahouse Rug Call: Help Us Create Our Cozy Space
Great news! Our teahouse has a brand new structure this year with more floor space to fill. We need your help sourcing rugs to create our signature cozy vibe.
How You Can Help
Bring a rug (or several!) with you to the playa
Focus on smaller rugs (ideally 5'×7' or less) - they're easier to transport and perfect for our patchwork aesthetic
Source them for free or nearly free from Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, etc.
Remember: they don't need to be pristine, just reasonably clean and non-moopy
The Perfect Rug
If you'd be happy sitting on it, it's perfect for our space
Try not to spend money, but if you find something under $25, we can reimburse you
For reimbursement, contact Phaedrus ASAP at jlehman@fastmail.com
Your contributions will help make our teahouse the welcoming oasis we all love. Let's create this beautiful space together!
