Subject: LA Regional Contact Candidates From: Meghan Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:28:02 -0700 CC: Andie Grace , Marian , Bex Workman Greetings LA Regional Contact Candidates, Thank you for your patience in this interview process. On our recent trip to LA, we were able to connect with 5 of the 8 candidates. We are taking the process of selecting LA Regional Contacts seriously and prefer to conduct these interviews in person. We were hoping to make it back to LA before the burn to meet the other three of you, but with all of our preparations for the playa, we just couldn't make it happen. After the event, we'll be able to turn our attention back to RC selection and will be in touch to set up interviews in the Fall. We are aiming to start the second batch of interviews during the second or third week of September. We plan on creating a team so we encourage you to meet one another if you haven't already. Our candidates are: Athena Demos Christopher White (aka DJ Chris Ryan) Danielle Farrar (Normal) David Raven (Hambone Hix) Debra Stiers (Topless Deb) Esquire Juachem Ron Boyer (Stinkbug) Tom Jennings In the meantime, you are invited to come by the Regional Network Center at 6:15 and Esplanade on "Everywhere Lane" and to join us for The Outreach Network Celebration on the playa. The party is scheduled for Wednesday, August 27 from 5:00-7:00pm. This is an opportunity for you to get together and connect with other players from Black Rock Solar, BRAF, Burners without Borders, the Regional Network AND key Burning Man staff. We're *really* excited about the celebration this year. We've joined forces with the other Outreach groups to create a really special installation called Everywhere Lane on playa. Mark your calendars and plan to come celebrate and meet the other people who are working year round to keep the Burning Man spirit and ethos alive around the world. Location - FIRST CAMP - Check in at the Regional Network Center when you arrive and we'll show you the sneaky way in. Looking forward to seeing you in the dust! Sincerely, The Burning Man Regional Network Selection Committee Marian, Andie, Bex and Meghan
