Greeting Puffers! Welcome back to everyone who attended Love Burn! While I was not in attendance, I've heard that Big Puffy Yellow represented in a big way once again! Thank you to everyone who helped to keep the spirit alive and well.
Ok, so let's get down to business....
This post is meant to make a community decision regarding Big Puffy Yellow's Burning Man gear, which has been stored within a 53' trailer in Silver Spring, Nevada since 2019.
The trailer is stored on property owned by Tom Breen Shipping and Trucking at a price of $1200 per year for the rental of the Trailer and $500 for the land storage fee. Since 2019, BPY has attended Burning Man once, however each year Andy Cauble and myself have made sure this payment has been made through BPY fund raising; we are both not interested in continuing to do this. The payment is due once again and I currently have $650 of BPY funds to put toward this. We are looking for an individual interested in taking over this annual payment moving forward or consensus that the gear can be put up for sale to the wider community. (We already have some options in this regard)
By taking on this responsibility you can bring BPY, or another iteration, back to the Playa and have everything you need to make it happen. Tom Breen Trucking will bring this trailer to your address on the Playa and after the event you lock it up, and off it goes back to storage (Transport is $2000 plus $230 for the Burning Man Permit Fee).
Or we could sell this gear, pay the outstanding invoice for last year and BPY could return in any form attending Puffers wish, perhaps joining up with another camp in which we've built a relationship with from Love Burn; there are so many less strenuous options.
We would definitely appreciate your input so we can make this decision as a community - please respond with your support one way or another.
Thank you
Andy & Dylan
