• Astor Camp discussion

  • Budget Rental Confirmation

    from Rolando Penate on Apr 01, 2008 10:25 AM
    Hey y'all,
    
    So Lily, Jesse, and I went to Burner Lab this weekend and came out  
    with a good bit of information to discuss as we walked through the  
    East Village. Notable decisions include scaling back our shade  
    structure to the original plan, Jesse volunteering to coordinate our  
    food story, and researching bike recycling options in Reno.
    
    Not using the Astor shade structure significantly scales back our  
    logistical issues--we no longer need to ship anything in the train  
    container, for one. Instead we'll string a tarp over our rental car(s)  
    and camp out underneath. Ideally, we'd have two cars to accomodate our  
    people and supplies and extend our shade area, but I have only gone so  
    far as to reserve one.
    
    Before we reserve a second, I need to know: who is committed to coming  
    for the entire trip? So far I am counting Lily, Sean, Jesse, and  
    myself. Any more people mean a second car and a shared rental cost of  
    about $150 each for the week.
