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..

hi @Jack, thank you for taking this on. I asked leads from previous years and they do not know. I could also not find any mention of that in 2019 Inventory. But it should not be a lot around 5 blankets and 5 sheets would be my guess. I hope it helps.

@Jack please let me know if you were able to retrieve and bring back the blankets! have fun!

I'm adding a need for pictures of all the different areas, once they have been mowed / cleared from vegetation.
Having most of them without structures would be preferable, although having some with structures can also help in terms of getting an idea of the size.
If someone is really up for it, we could push it and bring a laser measuring device (whatever the name is), to get a somewhat accurate representation of the different areas for camps. But that'd be the cherry on the cake, and not mandatory!

@Cairn (Clément) good news - the mowing and clearing of the "new" areas around the new gate has been completed, and Freiland are amazed about how much additional space this has created. So a big +1 on taking photos or even measures, it seems likely that these spaces could fit more than we anticipated!

@Bee can you or someone else who's definitely coming please compile a list of the email addresses for all the people who would definitely be coming, including when they would be arriving & leaving?
Everyone would then receive their ticket via email, and Freiland will also get in touch regarding options to support them as they definitely still need helping hands!
Bee Tue 6 Jul 2021 4:56PM
Will do! 😊

@Bee if you need @Don or my details, let me know? In terms of timings, looks like we'll be with @Jack arriving Friday evening, leaving sometime Sunday.

Measurements request, we'd need the dimensions of:
- The newly constructed "boat bar" on the Zerzura beach
- The newly constructed U shaped structure (dj booth I believe) on the Zerzura beach
- The distance between the metallic pillars in the same location
Would that be doable for people going on site?

@Cairn (Clément) Bee made me pick up a task because I am not allowed to be "too hot to volunteer" and apparently I am doing this :D I ll try my best <3

Hi @Jack - that would be great, thank you. Not sure how much stuff we'll have but not anticipating loads, basically a tent, some sorta mattress, sleeping bag plus clothes for 2 days? Sunday return also flexible, probably prefer early afternoon-ish but can see how things go. If you want to take this chat private for more details I'm on +44 7745 957 442 for Telegram or Signal.
