  2. Agenda • TComp Overall Goals • TComp Budget Goal • TComp 2009 Budget Summary • Estimated Budget for 2010 • ART GRANTS! • Lessons Learned & Stuff for 2010 • Ranger Report • Links and Contact Info

  3. The Ideas Behind TComp • Realize machinations of Delphic space • A parallax to enmesh emotions in teleological scenery • Some psychobabble tied to the conflict between existentialism and nihilism (YEAH RIGHT) • Get to see friends from playa; reminisce by playing “this one time at BM…” • Share BM with friends / new participants who can’t go, may go or just want to know more about BM and participate in Toronto’s TComp • Show off your dusty playa costume/art /performance /music • Do Stuff! Participate! Workshops! ART!

  4. The Goal of our TComp Budget This is our TComp budget goal.  This is what we're doing.Pull out % for overhead needed to host TComp and you get a truer graphical description showing how we do it.

  5. More TComp Budget Comments • TComp strives to be 100% participant funded • Funds for event are in the bank prior to event day; we do not run the event on credit and crossed fingers we can cover it • Organizers and leads do not use personal money (personal art expenses & participation efforts excluded) • Organizers and participants do not personally make money • Unless directed differently from the BurnT community, ALL surpluses from TComp will be applied to the next TComp event costs and BIGGERart grants. • The statement above does not include the original seed money TComp returns to the account

  6. TComp 2009 Budget by Area So this is how we do it. Split up by area, this is how the budget is spread. Remember that the whole pie, is Art!  This is a way to get there.

  7. TComp Budgets for 2009 & 2010 Let’s work to bring cost down to $14,500

  8. TComp 2009 Intake • These are the intake numbers by area. Total intake: $16,133 Final after outstanding expenses: ~ $14,500

  9. TComp Budget Comments • That's a really big number! We must respect this really big number. The bank account after TComp 2009 and some final outstanding expenses will sit at roughly $14,500. • This budget would allow for larger art grants if we bring the $16,500 estimate for 2010 down to $14,500; which we can if we plan earlier. Muuummmmm planning... ahead of time... • Given the event, the number of participants, etc., this is actually pretty good.  It is volunteering that makes Toronto’s BurnT TComp possible. • Remember the pie, unless we get a different direction from the community… ALL TComp proceeds will go directly toward making TComp even greater!

  10. TComp 2010 Budget by Area This is the breakout of our suggested budget for 2010. If we start planning in March 2010 we will look for ways to reduce logistics and décor costs.

  11. 2010 Art Grant Recommendation • Art and art grants are what make TComp different from just another fantastic BurnT party • Art grants normally pay for only a portion of art costs. We pay for material costs, but not for time/labour. This can be materials for a performance, music or art.

  12. Things That Worked • Dedicated Medical Rest Spot • Bigger Playafication Station • Amazing pARTicipants; Great Playa Vibe • 600+ pARTiciapants and only 5 incidents managed by our Rangers (see ranger report slide for details) • Having Different Distinct Spaces • Even More Art/Performances than TComp 2009 • Our Fantastic and Much Loved Volunteers! • More Organization Around Team Lead Meetings • Addition of workshops to TComp

  13. Things That Worked • Pot Luck Food Table was FULL this year • More Ticket Purchase Location Options • Advance Communication with Fire Dept., Police & Residents Resulted in no Complaints Called in When we Lit the Fire Effects • Having an Official Larger Coat Check (it’s on the issues list too) • Introduction of Larger Live Bands to TComp (just like the playa we wanted to offer more for 2009) • Food Bank Collection was Generous this Year • Even though Toronto’s Finest Visited us Twice that night (random visit) they were shocked to see how amazing an event of 600+ could be compared to what they are used to. They were speechless!

  14. Stuff for Next Year • EVEN MORE ART AND GREAT TComp ACTIVITIES! • Explore moving from Wiki site to Tcomp website for better dissemination of information and event principals • Pre-event workshops for pARTicipants to create TComp specific décor, signs and cool shit • MORE VOLUNTEERS! Our team leads are great but such a fantastic and large TComp needs more volunteers in 2010 so you don’t see one of your leads face down in the chill space at 4am. We want to pARTicipate more in 2010! Volunteer Spark Party! • Set our date in March 2010 so we do not overlap others • Does anyone know of a LARGE warehouse space we may want to explore; perhaps in the DOCs area?

  15. Before We Talk About Issues • Remember that we are an experiment in community • We are not always going to get it right… • …but we can learn from it! Solution 3: ask DON to make us one from duct tape, lEDs and playa dust

  25. Ranger Report • As usual, the front door was very busy. We should conduct a greeter training and drinks night to prepare greeters for an amazing but busy night • A pARTicipant was overwhelmed and spent most of the party with friends in the medical area. Yay for friends! • A pARTicipant spontaneously and unexpectedly acted aggressively towards another, who withdrew immediately. The aggressive pARTicipant felt remorse and decided to go home. This participant was a friend of a community member and was over extended from activities the night before. Rumourmongers suck!

  26. Ranger Report • A couple of crashers crawled through the back fence well after the doors closed at 1 am and were escorted out the front door • pARTicipants were well-behaved outside and did not make too much noise. Unfortunately the parking lot still had to be closed. Hopefully an outdoor, noise-tolerant area can be found for future events
