...and not knowing how to do it by myself is the hardest thing in the world to deal with. My brain is like a super-tangential-idea-machine, and never stops kicking out ideas for inventions, story plots, art, performances, music, promoting myself and others, and most importantly, theme camp ideas.
I'm an idea man. I'm good at it.
I wish I could find someone in the community who's type A and willing to help me realize my concepts. Between my disorganized approach to manifesting what I dream and facing the final semester of school, a Mount Everest towering 18 credit hours of all 4000 level (graduate level) classes, I can't make it happen without an implementer.
So far people in the core cell of theme camp members have been helpful and very cooperative, and Jason T has been amazing at pushing the envelope and making the connections we need to make in Dallas for our fundraisers, but I wish there was someone who's done theme camps before and knows how to organize basic projects:
1. Booking a venue (preferably free) for a fundraiser, putting together fliers and promotion and appointing key people to be responsible for disseminating the information like it's their job (and staying on top of them to do it), organizing the sound system setup and the creation or acquisition of any items to be used for decor, performances, or to sell to make more money. Fucking bumper stickers that say "I like to burn shit." ... I dunno.
2. Being the go-to person for scheduling the group and special team (DJ booth construction team, art team, hexayurt construction team, etc) meetings, or being able to find someone else who can and making that their job.
3. Organizing saving the money, possibly through a tax ID and LLC status, and setting up some easy way for people who need it to purchase materials or tools to get it (and be accountable for what they spend it on).
4. Setting up or finding someone who can set up a means for the group to communicate effectively via a wiki or website for the group with a forum, and keeping everyone updated via an email list about important dates, including when to buy tickets.
5. Organizing or finding someone to organize the transportation of the camp materials effectively and cheaply to Austin, via a rented truck or our own vehicles with trailers (I think we've learned our lesson, finally, though. Moving truck = way to go.)
I'm just rambling now, describing things I wish I had the time and resources to accomplish, when all I have is ideas, themes, concepts, inventions...
I need an implementer. THE implementer.
Universe? Are you listening? I want to make something beautiful and amazing to share with 3000 other incredible and enlightened people, can you help me out? Tony Stark had Pepper Potts, and he was an asshole. I'm not asking for a flying exosuit or anything, just some pyrotechnics.

You will find that person sparkie boy.,
Wish I could be in dallas.
Not sure if I will be going or not this year.,
Sometimes though the thinker must also be the implementer, you must wear many hats,.
When you are the one with the ideas.
