We received this from the Lamplighters..........

Greetings Fellow Theme Camp!

My name is Joc Strap and I am a volunteer coordinator/liaison for the Lamplighters. For the past 30 years, we have been in charge of lighting the main thoroughfares of Black Rock City each night of the event; leading a procession from center camp out into the city, installing lanterns on spires as we go. Even in the virtual years of 2020/2021, Lamplighters around the world lit lamps in their default communities during burn week to keep the tradition alive. In celebration of our 30th year lighting Black Rock City, we are extending a special invite to theme camps to join us. Let us pour you a drink, cheers the theme camps that make BRC and participate in this long standing Burning Man tradition of Lamplighting with your campmates & friends.

Please extend this invite to your entire camp and come light lamps together! All ages and abilities are welcome and encouraged to participate. We have an early sign up form here that is just for theme camps. Normally, we take volunteers on a first come first serve basis but we want to make sure that you and your camp group are able to be on the same night/route together, choose what part of the city you light and get photos together. Speaking of photos, our resident camp photographer, Hugslut, will be hanging out to take some fancy photos of your group as a memento for you. In addition, you are also invited to the pre-lamplighting party in our lounge from 3-5pm (2-4pm on Burn night). Each day is a different theme/playlist/beverage and we'd love to have you relax in our shade and enjoy a beverage before the Lamplighting starts.

Please reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to know more details about participating. We hope to host you and your camp to celebrate our 30th year!

Hugs and Dust,

Joc

I've been hashing this out behind the scenes and here are the details: You fill out a form for your camp choosing a day of the week and a route. Day of, we head to their camp, get trained, dressed and watered. Walk our route, then walk back to their camp as the sun sets to disrobe. Its roughly 1 mile on foot.

It would be nice to participate as a village but to streamline the process, I think we should all choose the same day of the week and the same route to all volunteer for on the sign up form. Also on the form under Camp Name, we can all write (Hushville) so they know to keep us together if at all possible.

Joc Strap said they have the most availability 1st Sunday, Friday and Saturday. Leon mentioned we're all still building 1st Sunday so our best bet is Friday.

The easiest route is probably Center Camp since the Lamplighter Camp is right behind it.

SO IF YOUR CAMP WANTS TO BE A LAMPLIGHTER FOR A NIGHT DO THESE 3 THINGS:

Coordinate with your camp mates

Put " (Hushville) " next to your camp name
Choose "Friday September 1st @5pm"
Choose "Center Camp"
Hope for the best!

Hushville Lamplighter night got rained out in 2023. I just got a link to sign up for 2024 and try again. Are any other Hushvillains interested in coordinating a specific night?
