BURN2 Staff & Teams

Who are the Staff at BURN2?

We get this question a lot. The answer is we don’t have an official paid “staff”. However, we do have a core of very dedicated, active volunteers who keep things running on the Deep Hole sim, help plan and organise the events during the year, spread Burning culture and the practice of the Ten Principles, and enthusiastically invite other Burners to join the efforts of the Regional, inspired by the philosophy and the “10P” of Burning Man.

We meet weekly at 9:00pm SLT (US Pacific Time) on Thursdays on Deep Hole in world. Burners are welcome to visit, listen in and most definitely participate.

We have a Regional Coordinator who is our liaison with Burning Man, and represents the Regional. Her name is Suzanne Ayriss, affectionately known in world as Suz (full name Miss Suzanne SuperSweet).

The other “leads” or contacts of the group are as follows, and they can be reached by sending a notecard or instant message in world.

  • BURN2 Regional Coordinator: Suz
  • BURN2 Communications: iSkye Silverweb (Web, inworld notices), Mia Quinote (Facebook), Suz (Google+)
  • BURN2 Department of Mutant Vehicles: P1an0man
  • BURN2 Greeters: Sammi Cerise and Freia Guillaume
  • BURN2 Infrastructure: Huntress Catteneo

These groups support and collaborate with BURN2:

  • BURN2 Rangers: Suz or Leondra Larsson
  • The Lamplighters: The Elders Council – iSkye Silverweb, Freia Guillaume, Dream Wrexan, and Apollo Manga

In addition to these, the Burners in world who have the “BURN2 Support Staff” role in the BURN2 group are also members of our volunteer staff.

Other leadership roles for event teams are filled by various people depending on the event currently being planned. These roles are:

  • Event Lead
  • Performance Lead
  • Builder/Artist Liaison

Our events would not be much of anything without our artists, builders, performers and, most of all, participants. We really do practice the philosophy that “there are no bystanders.” Everyone is included in some way or another, because we are not merely a group, or a Burning Man Regional. We are a community.
