Here's the 2008 map. I suggest we target the green area as first choice, then the yellow. If you're a late arrival, go to the intersection of Gremlin and 3:30 and start looking. Any other input? Does anyone know what the reserved rectangle to the SW of our target area is? Probably heavy metal bandstand 24 hours....
I haven't yet understood the layout of Burning Man, and since I won't be able to attend probably won't spend too much time trying to figure it out, however I found this at the burning man website
Q. What about amplified music at Burning Man?
A. Amplified music is a favored method of participation and self-expression at Burning Man, and one that influences a large number of people. Of course, Larry Harvey has a few things to say about this. Check out this interview with him from the Summer 2000 Newsletter.
We are asking that amplified music in camps be kept at a reasonable level.
Large scale sound art/systems MUST register for placement.
This year, large scale sound systems are restricted to those camps located along the 2:00 and 10:00 axes.
Sound systems should be no bigger than 300 watts.
Sound levels produced by any electronic system or device should not exceed 90 decibels outside of a camp or village.
Sound levels emitted from any camp should not cause serious disruption to adjacent camps.
To get the full skinny, check out the sound policies here.
I would think then the bandstands are not in that area sw of 3:30
On noise, that one is up to the chaos of the Burn and there isn't really a magic formula. If you need quiet, perhaps move the camp up against "Hushville" where it is quiet. The last few burns I have been over at 9:30 and Jeep area and there are some Techno camps over that way on the edge. There was a big sound system in a camp close to me too. I had 300 watts and I could barely hear my own system in camp - DJ Dan was my neighbor - I just rolled with it because his music was so damn good - really. It wasn't too loud, but it was loud - excellent sound quality though - wow. I went over there and jumped on his trampolines and watched how he mixed it - there's more to that btw - its not as easy as it seems. That system went all night until the generator ran out of gas, which was about 0500 - I got accustomed to it.
I was actually thinking about going to 1800 watts, not for the volume/decibels but for the richness and fullness of the sound - at lower volumes it sounds so much better.
As for "not exceed 90 decibels outside of a camp or village" - that is constant at Burning Man. But it tends to quiet down after 2300 typically as the party moves out to the Playa. The "Deep End" is a perfect example of that - raging in the day, deserted at night.

YES!!
I have only come from Bend (in 06) as I go strait down from the Walla via John Day. Head down to Salem, then Bend, La Pine, Valley falls to Lakeview to Alturas - right before Alturas go over Cedar Pass to Cedarville then on to the Burn.
We will be camped on Cedar Pass right outside Alturas the night before rolling into the Burn. If you are anywhere near the Walla, you must stop in.

Not thinking of moving there, but where is Hushville?
Nutin fancy but must stick in the ground, stand strong winds, be about 4.5 ft tall and have that erasable white surface and some colored pens on strings.

Thanks for the link to the cameras. It has helped calm her down. She is yet unconvinced but has backed off a bit. So at this point were still in 'go' mode. After our upcoming trip to Sturgis she should be gungho for the Burn!
