The Project
The Rotating Carousel Bar… The rotating Carousel bar is almost complete. There are a few things that needed to be added, as well as lots of libations to stock it. We are short on funds and need your financial help to complete this wonderful project. To add to the urgency, our camp was recently placed on the Esplanade which is so wonderful and thrilling… YET, this means we will be getting much more traffic, and thus serving many more drinks. While we are very excited to be able to offer this gift to the Playa, we would be so grateful if you could help us to cover the costs of this project.
Why on Earth are you building a Carousel bar?
The theme this year for Burning Man (www.Burningman.com) is The American Dream. If you are familiar with Hunter S. Thompson, then you know that finding the American Dream was a quote from Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas, when Raul Duke says while riding a carousel in Circus Circus, “We came here to find the American Dream, and now we’re right in the vortex.” So, of course, as a Hunter S. Thompson themed camp (www.visitBatCountry.com) we HAD to build a rotating Carousel Bar.I mean, what else would you expect?
How YOU can help!
The project is in its very last stages. Our camp members have spent countless hours building and preparing the bar for the Playa. We have exhausted all of our available resources, with only a 3 more weeks till Burning Man. We need additional funds to finish the Rotating Carousel Bar so we can share it with the residents of Black Rock City. So, if you find that tingling feeling in your heart that leads you to contribute, then please help us make this happen… And if you are Playa bound, we hope you will join us for a spin and a drink.

Whats in it for you?
If you’ve been to the Playa, you understand that Burning Man is based on what is known as a gift economy. The idea as that the reward that we experience is the ability to give. It This kind of thinking creates a sense of community and trust. It fosters love and kindness and diminishes all competition. By donating to this art project, not only do you send a little piece of you to the Playa, but you have the inner joy of knowing that you’ve help effect the lives 50,000 + people at Burning Man this year. To learn more about the idea of a gift economy, please check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gift_economy —
HOWEVER, that being said, as a donator to our cause, if you ARE on the playa, Bat Country would be honored to have you for a spin and a drink at the Rotating Carousel Bar.
