Freiland Sommerfest
Hey all,
So those of you who were at our KORG meeing at Spark (or keeping up with the meeting notes) will know we have been offered 10x tickets by Freiland for their event! Please read the details underneath & let us know if you would want to go. If you have area related needs on site leave a comment underneath please.
17-18 July 2021 (Build 16 July)
Freiland Sommerfest Facebook Event
We (the Board) were not sure how these would be distributed fairly so this thread is open for those who wish to share their interest in going to this event. We see it as important that Safety Lead(s) have an option to visit the site, also Water & Toilet Realizers are both waiting to see the results of the Freiland Build & how it impacts further planning.
If we have if too many requests for the amount of tickets available, we suggest a lottery. However for those going to site there are some important details of gelände progress we would need to get from those who attend.
Action Items:
Toilets situation!
How many fully functioning toilets are there?
What is the waste solution for Freiland's festival?
Photos good if no Realizer on site.
Water
Where is it coming from? Water-net
What system or network do the Freiland folk have set up for their festival?
Grey Water
How is it being disposed? For Kieze, water points and showers.
Showers
Document for Showerhead & team (are the showers complete? missing parts?)
Any important info relevant - we are expecting newly built showers.
New Structures
Photos & measurements of any new structures.
Safety check
On said structures, including for example the new staircase to the large lake from the Effigy hill.
Check if all the existing structures have been repaired (there were many holes in the stairs, etc)
Check if the former Kinder Kiez (now Mellow Submarine, 1st Aid..) & Süsskiez (now Nubicuculia) Areas have been cleaned out from wood rests and old cars, and the grass being cut.
Check if they have taken down the damaged wooden planks on top of the stage in UnderWorld. The basic construction (stones below) should stay.
Gate
Check out Freiland's Gate layout and process (covid testing, queuing etc.) and document learnings if possible
Storage : Welfare & Water
Bring back blankets for Welfare from storage so they can be washed in Berlin
(Need to confirm with Freiland that we can have access to storage!)
Check number of water cubes (1000l) & report to Hans
Site Planning
Taking pictures of all the different areas once they are mowed/cleared of vegetation, to get a more accurate representation of the spaces.
Cell phone signal? ( see this thread )
Anything else?...
Nice to have: There is a pile of good building wood at the Cuddle Puddle area. We agreed with Freiland that they will leave parts of it for Kiez Burn build. If you have the time, you can separate the good from the rotten wood so that only the stuff we don't need gets burned... (non-essential task)
Things to confirm before the Event with Freiland:
Probably confirm number of tickets?
When can we arrive? (Can we come to Build on Friday or only Saturday Morning?)
Will storage be open?
When can we go to storage / Can we go to storage on Saturday after we checked in the Event?
add more..

Could someone add to the action thread: bring back Welfare"s sheets and blankets to be washed? I just need them to be brought back to Berlin, I can wash them. I cannot edit it. Thank you!

I put it on the list :)
Franzi Mon 5 Jul 2021 3:35PM
@Mareike can you check if storage will be open? Also if we can leave site to go to storage during their event?
Mareike Mon 5 Jul 2021 8:48PM
Jein :) I don't have the contact of storage owner/Freiland contact for this. I would have to ask Jan or Kate for the contact. As we have to speak to Freiland anyway to confirm the tickets and ask some questions about when to arrive etc, I would suggest to collect all of those questions first, and ask them together, instead of several people asking several single questions. I edited the thread and added a part with "things to confirm before" Everyone please add if there's anything else you might think of.
@Bee not sure if you were in contact with anyone already about the tickets and arrival times (Eric?)? And if yes, would that be the same person to ask about storage? Otherwise I am happy to collect everything and make the call(s) next week to check.

Adding here a to-do: to check signal reception on different spots of the site with different providers https://talk.kiezburn.org/d/OsX6JijM/proposal-handing-out-a-phonenumber-to-contact-first-aid-directly-/32

It would be nice to know but as far as I know about 900 burners using the little signal in one area will likely overwhelm a tower that usually just handles a small village. We should expect the signal to be worse while the event.

Don (who I can't tag for some reason) and myself still interested. Would just like to ensure logistics work - what time on Friday is the plan to go and return Sunday? And would somebody have space for 2 humans/ be interested to share a car hire?
Jack Tue 6 Jul 2021 7:00PM
Hi @Nics and Don I will drive in a polo (planning to leave in the late afternoon after work from lichtenberg) so would have space for 2 people plus a bit of (but not lots) of stuff :D return time on sunday I am flexible. @River Aleks do you know approx. how much volume we are talking? I might have some space but as I said its a polo 😆
