• French burners website - Hello, I'm Ed, from Paris, and with a few friends of mine we created the first french website about BM. With a lot of informations about the event. We organize events in Paris too "the Burning Night" wich will be our 4th one at the beginning of 2008. We would like to grow up the community in Paris and after in France. We are volunteer, full of energy and fond of the event. Bex is a friend of mine and knows our website. We will expect to become Regional Contact (2 friends and me). We will very happy to develop the community in Europe too. So, have a look on our website even it is in french. And please, if it possible to add a link on the burningman website, it will sound great because there is more and more french burner. Regards Eddy
• Surprise Valley Community And Visitor Center - The mission of SVCAVC is to preserve and protect the integrity of the Surprise Valley community by promoting historic preservation, supporting sustainable economic development and enhancing the visitor experience on public and private land. The first project for SVCAVC is to raise funds for a community/visitor center. As a gateway to the Black Rock Desert, High Rock Canyon, Emigrant Trails, the National Conservation Area, the northwestern Great Basin and the Warner Mountains, we want to help preserve the area by providing accurate information to the public that will encourage them to stay safe and leave no trace. Visit our mall & help us raise funds for the center.
• Alternative Burning Man Traveller's Association, Unofficial - (Updated listing, new location, better format) Being there is only half of the experience. A place to share stories about your time on the road going to Burning Man or other burns with other burners, recommendations of places to visit along the way, announcements of your plans for upcoming burns, and to offer or request rides to any burn. Or to just blather on aimlessly in the Peanut Gallery.
• Controlled Burn Fire Performers - We are a local fire group in Reno, Nevada specializing in performances with large scale fire props and propane devices.
• CRUX Artist Collective - a group of burners, (some devote annuals, some when they get the chance) putting on healing, concsious, community art and performance events in Chico California.
• Café Satan - Where eternal d**nation never tasted so good :). A proposal for a drug-free Chicago-based amateur improvisational theatre themed camp, mainly intended for local burns, with a partially African cultural focus. Members of all ethnic groups are encouraged to apply. We will have food, drink (both liqueurs and nonalcoholic), storytelling, theatre, and whatever else grabs our attention, whoever "we" end up being, while making a conscious effort to get away from the raver aspects of burning. Think "creative chill space", a slightly lower key camp where people can hear each other speaking, and want to. The current theme: No Exit on Prozac, with a better dinner selection?
• ORBUS Celestial Camping Experiences - Unusual events and adventures - since 1978.
• Alternative Burning Man Traveller's Association, Unofficial - For those who want to find ways to get out to Burning Man or another burn, without making use of the Green Tortoise Bus line. Come by to share announcements of your plans for upcoming burns, to offer or request rides to any burn, or to talk about the experiences you've had along the way.
• APOKILIPTIKA- "Where the World Ends Everyday!" - Coming to Burningman 2005, APOKILIPTIKA is a new theme camp, devoted to fun, playa combat and the end of civilization as we know it. Our Motto: "Relax, The end is near!" The Ko-Komandants of APOLIKIPTIKA are seeking recruits to join the ranks for the 05 Blackrock City Campaign.
• Spherocity - While Spherocity as a theme camp is on hiatus, a collection of burners in LA stay connected through the email list.
