A summer South Bay Burner Picnic has become a tradition
for the past several years. We’ve called it the BBQ-A-Newbie picnic, and it’s
certainly a way for virgins to get some playa orientation. We’d like this to be
a get-together for the entire community, too, and one way to do this is the
proposed “Theme Camp Speed Dating”. No, it’s not about finding a hook-up hottie
for the playa; the idea is to have many of our 60 South Bay Theme Camps talk to
the newbies and match up campers with the type of playa camp that most appeals
to them. We plan to also host a Costume Exchange (give a second life to your
favorite playawear) and Camping Equipment Exchange (old coolers, outgrown
tents, things you don’t use anymore because you’ve upgraded), and a
Make-it-&-Take-it bike decoration station.
