You may have seen an email from Groop Camping highlight some cool perks of being part of this year's groop camping contingent -- one of which is the option to contribute a community building event / activity to help ignite connections (& let's be real -- social drinking) among groops.
Groops are encouraged to submit their contributions to this shared Google spreadsheet, which will later feed into a groop calendar that will be displayed at the farm. You can check out the living doc here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13f98HO0QYBd229EFJDpaMkDBY_fa12cY4wSR3upETEM/edit#gid=0
There's a lot of great ideas already up there (e.g. Step 13 Roobot's Moon Howl, FARMily's Roo-Vibes Karma Trading Post, Bonnaroo Make Me Do It's Local Beer Exchange), so I was trying to brainstorm some cool, yet cheap, and potential something that could happen all the time without a lot of commitment on our end.
- king sized sheet, which we'd be able to attach to one of the sides our EZ-tents that would double as a shade barrier, that would have a dope Bonnaroo-related mural
- props related to Bonnaroo that we'd make from repurposed materials, bring from home or buy from a dollar store (think 'Fuck Kanye' sign, big hand for "high-fives," Elton John glasses, etc.); Abby thought of some old ping pong paddles as potentially materials for making signs or 'thought bubbles', etc.). Items don't have to be specifically Bonnaroo related. I think we should have a grumpy cat in there, etc.
- bucket or box to hold all props; could be a cardboard box that we pop up -- cool if we could find a dollar store treasure trove cardboard box.
I figure this would be a cool way to have groopies come by to snap pictures with friends using their phones, digital cameras, etc. I thought we could also have a few disposable cameras on hand so people can leave some candid pics, which I could develop later and post online for tagging by groopies.
From our groop, are there any artists out there that would love to let their creative juices run wild and create the proposed mural? I don't have anything really in mind, so you can do whateverrrr you want. (Update: Elora said she is gonna hit up a Walmart for a cheap sheet and get some dye to create a dope tie-dyed backdrop. Feel free to connect with her via Facebook if you have additional ideas for the sheet.)
We can totally do other events / activities, but I wanted to get something on the board for our groop. Let me know if you have other ideas or enhancements.
PS -- This is the description currently posted to the Groop Camp spreadsheet (feel free to comment adds or edits):
We're creating a dope backdrop and supplying many fun bonnaroo-inspired props for use in our "photo booth." Stop by, dress up, get down & snap a pic with your own digital device of choice. We'll also have a few disposable cameras available that we'll later develop & publish online for post-roo reminiscing. Feel free to bring other odd props to contribute to our treasure trove of disguises, signs & items.
Juda needs to wear a sign that says 'I will battle rap you for drugs.'
ReplyDeleteMore like "I will drug you then battle rap."
ReplyDeleteI read that as "battle rape" ... giggled.
ReplyDeleteI think maitreya's "pre-drug, then battle" could be considered battle rape.
ReplyDeleteIdeas from Elora!:
ReplyDeleteI like this idea a ton, so props When it comes to the concern with the props being adopted by concert goers, how about we rotate out props or have surprise props each day, so that way we only put out a few each day, then if someone takes them we don't have to worry about them all being gone at once.
And for the name, how about "Biddie Booth" or "Photo-Roo" or something that incorporates the group name?
For the Sheet for the back ground, how about we get a cheap one from a thrift store or walmart and tie dye it in the Bonnaroo colors and use poster board to make a high five and other props that we can also rotate out? or even just paint it directly on to the sheet?
