Anyone who is interested can help us run this crazy thing on the playa. We have positions that require no advance training, some advance training, or a full battle run-down, take your pick.
Things we need volunteers for:
-Dressers: Potentially the flirtiest job. Put people in prox suits! You will be given very specific directions as to how to put the suits on correctly. Great opportunity to take advantage of folks' fear and put your hands down their pants. This takes training, as you need to know how to do it right.
-Gate/Signups: You have all the power. You sign up people to play. (Note: We're not really taking bribes and we're going to do signups in a pretty even-handed way, starting a round of signups at the top of the hour or half-hour). You are also in charge of explaining over and over and over that YES that's real fire and YES they can play and NO they can't play in a mumu and platforms. Minimal training, right at the beginning of your shift.
-Perimeter: You are our personal badass. Be a motherfucker. Be mean. Be angry. Be effective. Carry a radio and a big stick and poke at the ravers. No training required, just attitude.
-Ventillation/Sound hook-in: You will hook each player into the ventillation and sound system, and then you will look them square in the eye and say "good luck, don't be scared, and press the red button when you decide you are too much of a pansy to play." You're the last thing they see before the helmet is closed. Muaahahahhahaha. Probably also a really good opportunity to flirt and/or mess with people. Training required, in a minimal sort of way.
-Operator: Well, if you've built the system and you know EVERYTHING about it, you can be an operator. If someone really wants to do this, then come to NIMBY and live there for the next week, and you'll learn :)
Our core crew will likely bring 2-3 people per night. This means we need 3-4 volunteers per night, hopefully. Signups below!

Re: Volunteer to run DDI on the playa!
Sat, August 20, 2005 - 1:01 AMAnything but operator, any night but Saturday you freaks need me. I did perimeter at a fire show a few months back and was told that I kickass at it - you know, cos I'm so MEEK so I can do that. I also like to flirt. Just plug me in where ya need me.

Re: Volunteer to run DDI on the playa!
Sat, August 20, 2005 - 2:43 PMHow about Gate/Signups Wed. or Thur.?
(Still, email me with holes you might have in the schedule.)

Re: Volunteer to run DDI on the playa!
Sat, August 20, 2005 - 3:31 PMHi, I will come by tuesday and see what i can do. I am an all-around handy/trouble-shooty kind of guy, and dont mind standing around looking big - so perimeter?
-
Re: Volunteer to run DDI on the playa!
Sun, August 21, 2005 - 5:13 PMI can do perimeter or gate on Wednesday.
I assume start time is "after dark"?

Re: Volunteer to run DDI on the playa!
Mon, August 22, 2005 - 2:06 PMI would love to help out! My preference would be for Thursday but I could also do a Wednesday if need be. I'm flexible as to assignment but would prefer to be A) Dresser B) Ventilation/Sound hook-in ... I'm not that good at being mean perimeter person but I'm a Virgo so I'm sure I could adapt given the chance to use my bull horn... it tends to have a strange effect on me..lol! I could also handle gate/signups but would get sick of the dumb ass questions real fast.. Wanna see my sarcastic side?

Re: Volunteer to run DDI on the playa!
Tue, August 23, 2005 - 1:01 PMOkay, I've compiled a list of everyone who's volunteered so far. From here, if you're going to volunteer, could you reply to this post and fill in the list accordingly? Thanks! (Also, if you want to change your time, reply and post that). Note: the two nights we appear to be shy of volunteers are Wednesday and Saturday.
As for when/where: It will be dark enough to run around 8:30 or 9. We'll have setup to do, so let's meet at DDI, 9:30 the night you're volunteering! We'll probably run from about 10-1. We'll do all necessary training on the spot. Please note if you *can't* work the full 3 hours so we can double up your slot.
Without further ado:
