SUPPLY LIST
This is going to be as complete a list as possible of supplies which will
be required (bought, rented, or supplied by attendees) to carry this off.
It will hopefully gain size rapidly, with information filling in such
details as how much we need, how much it will cost, etc.
As a potential attendee reading this, you can help by suggesting additions
(what have we forgotten?), sources (where can we get this stuff efficiently
and affordable?), guesstimations of cost, or by being able to directly
assist in accquiring or supplying said item(s).
We will need
- Tenting for (??) people. This can be done either by assembling a collection
of small tents, housing everyone in groups of two or three, or by renting a
number of very large tents and housing everyone in packs of a dozen or more.
Mail Andrew on this topic, if you
have input.
- One (or more?) of those large industrial grills, something that can be
used for making twenty-four pancakes or a dozen racks of lamb at a time.
Meal success will depend on high cooking bandwidth.
- An extensive first aid supply. I think this is accounted for already.
- Portable toilets. The figure I've gotten from people who have carried
out this sort of event before suggest one per 30 people; we will
probably get four of them. Initial cost analysis here is about $60 per
chem toilet for a weekend. Call it $240.
- Ingredients for cooking. This will probably be a huge Costco run in
the week before the event. Ingredients for the chili cook-off on Sunday
can probably be supplied, given specific shopping lists beforehand.
- Disposable plates, napkins, utensils, etc. Kitchen duty will be
something approaching a sane level if we don't have to worry about
cleaning and washing and such.
- Extensive trash disposable container system. You can rent a dumpster,
right? I'm sure of it.
Keep those cards and letters comin'!
