Kiez Placement

Thanks for the clarification Henrik. Obviously I wasn't privy to your private conversations with Site Planning. I was a bit confused why some Kieze were convinced that the Kieze placement had already been finalized, especially since we're still registering new Kieze (just got one new one yesterday). I hear your frustration with how things went down... I will make sure to discuss that next time Area51 meets. Glad to hear that your current site is not unworkable, or at least that's how I'm interpreting your response. 👍🏼Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.

Hey CJ, SuessKiez was just trying to help and ease Just Being's pain. But looking at Randy's comment above, a swap is not an option, as we are a soundcamp. As per Henrik's comment, we too appreciate your work and know well it's a hard task! But, that said, we too were under the impression the last discussion we had with AREA 51 was final and had no idea changes were in sight. As per Henrik's comment, a heads up would have been more than nice to ease the transitional pains. Also would have been nice to talk to someone prior to understand the new location, so that we can accommodate our planning. As it went, you guys just dropped it on us and there was no discussion between then and now. We will work with the location assigned to us, of course, but this could have been managed a little more constructively/communicatively. My main problem is that the new location is COMPLETELY BARE - we were counting on having trees around our camp. We would prefer to keep the Wagon - would be good for us to have at least some structure in that case. Without any trees our hammock oasis of chill is not possible. But, we are looking forward to Burning Pig to find out more about the spot. If KiezBurn build is open to help us erect some structure as you just offered to Just Being, we would be thankful for that. Let's talk at Burning Pig. Thanks and love from Suesskiez.

Thanks SuessKiez. As I've said in my reply to Henrik, I personally was not included in the private discussions you had with Site Planning, so I don't know the what/how/why of it, but I hear your frustration with it, and I will make sure we discuss it next time Area51 meets. I don't have any immediate ideas of how to resolve the lack of tree problem... though I do believe there are some trees on the South side of your location at the base of the hill. I will investigate that and take some pictures and report back to you after Burning Pig. Also, your original placement is just 20m North of your current location, and according to the "final" map, is not yet specifically assigned to anything. It is meant to be a quiet zone, but maybe we could talk to Site Planning about moving SuessKiez back to that location with a stipulation of keeping the sound system on the far South end, which would maybe not be so much different than having a sound system at your current location? I can't promise that, but I can advocate for that if you think that's a better solution for you. I also can't promise that kborg will be able to build anything for Kieze... I only suggest that as a potential way of resolving the issue... to get our minds in the how-can-we-fix-this mode, but if you have something specific in mind, I will also advocate for that.

FYI, particulary @randypence and @waldo, we've had 4 new Kieze register in the past week.

cool, added them to the power sheet. Just waiting for Randy to put them on the map and then I can link in the power requirements. So cool!!!

yaeli, lemon, and bandana info is too incomplete to place with

@randypence what info do you need from them?

essentials are how many people, power requests, etc.

alright, I'll follow up with them

@randypence all 3 of those Kieze put in their expected number of Kiez mates, and 2 of the 3 put in their power requirements... am I missing something?
