What Is Recycled Rainbow?
Recycled Rainbow is a four-day event inspired by the Burning Man festival. Everything is organized, built and paid for by volunteers with their own resources. There are no trash cans, so you’ll have to pack your trash out with you. There are no vendors, so you have to bring enough food, drink and whatever else you need for four days. There are no schedules or rules, so you’ll have to make things happen yourself and respect your neighbor.
When Is Recycled Rainbow?
Recycled Rainbow begins at 9am on Thursday, September 27, 2012. It ends at 2pm on Sunday, September 30.
Tickets
Tickets are no longer available as this event is canceled for 2012.

Innerspace: Destination Unknown
Humanity stands at the precipice of a whole new world of discovery. From the workings of the mind, to the workings of the subatomic. Humanity goes where humanity has never gone before. We look for a God Particle in the very small. It alludes us, but our scientists reach for ever more powerful tools to look into the very small, using the very big to see it. (continued)
Dear RR community,
As you are aware, we put out a call 2 weeks ago stating RR was in danger of not happening due to lacking volunteers and ticket sales. Volunteers are vital and ticket sales necessary to make an event happen, but unfortunately the numbers were not adequate to allow the event to happen. We’d like to thank everyone who volunteered and purchased a ticket and to everyone who helped spread the word.
What does this mean if you purchased a ticket? You will be refunded your money within the next 2 weeks.
We apologize to those who were looking forward to the event as much as we were.
Sincerely,
Recycled Rainbow Continue reading
As we get closer to the event, we are also getting closer to reaching our goals in ticket sales and volunteers. If you are able to volunteer please send an email to volunteers[at]recycledrainbow[dot]org (and please buy your tickets ASAP at http://www.recycledrainbow.org so we can order our necessary infrastructure and insurance)
Ticket Sales - 14 tickets sold (we need to sell 50 by August 1st so BUY YOUR TICKET at www.recycledrainbow.org)
Volunteers:
Emergency Services - we have two team leads and four volunteers. We need 5 more volunteers by the event.
Rangers - we have a team lead and 3 volunteers. We need three more volunteers by the event
Greeters - we are joyfully welcoming Carol Cazzarin as our Head Greeter. We have 3 volunteers. We need at least 7 more by the event.
Earth Guardians - This is a simple way to help out and a great excuse to visit every camp. Help all participants understand the principles of Leave No Trace and help us to create/maintain a beautiful environment for everyone.
Builders - the Department of Building Shit is pretty well set for volunteers but if you like to build stuff, let us know
Truck - If you are available Tuesday evening in Lakewood, Wednesday Afternoon at Big Arbs, Sunday afternoon at Big Arb’s or Sunday evening in Lakewood to help load and unload the truck, please let us know. There is a possibility that we will not need the truck this year, but it is better to be prepared with volunteers for any situation.
Reminder: if you are able to volunteer please send an email to volunteers[at]recycledrainbow[dot]org (and please buy your tickets ASAP at http://www.recycledrainbow.org so we can order our necessary infrastructure and insurance) Continue reading
Innerspace: Destination Unknown is just over 2 months away! We hope that you are all busy enjoying these lovely summer days, but we must look ahead to the end of September. To date, our ticket sales have been low enough that we have begun to question if there is enough community support to put on the event… To complicate things even further, volunteerism is at an all time low!
We need your help to make sure the event happens this year.
Have you signed up to be a volunteer?
Have you purchased your tickets yet?
It’s important to remember that none of the participants are paid; We, as a collective, all volunteer our free time to organize prior to the event and volunteer during the event to make it the best experience we can make for the brief four days we have together. Advance ticket sales are essential to covering the cost of Land Rental, Insurance, and Port-o-Potties. Arrangements for these items must be made in advance and at this time, we do not have enough tickets sold to cover these costs! The minimum number of tickets we need to have sold by August 1 is 50.
Also, during the event we need volunteers to help us – Greeters, Medics, Rangers – These are all important volunteer positions necessary to make the event happen. By August 1, there need to be (at minimum) volunteer commitments for an additional 4 Medics, 4 Rangers, and 5 Greeters…Additional volunteer opportunities are yours for the making, but these positions are essential to our collective safety!
To clarify; we need to ensure that we have sufficient ticket sales AND volunteers by August 1 for the event to continue! Both volunteers and ticket sales will determine the future of Innerspace: Destination Unknown this year.
Why August 1? This is the time of year when infrastructure rentals and services need to be ordered, it’s when artists begin to invest heavily in their projects and theme camps, and should we need to cancel the event, we need to give the campground owner sufficient notice (as well as our participants.)
What do you want the event to be? Step up and volunteer, purchase your ticket, We make this together. If you want it, let’s make this event happen in 2012. www.recycledrainbow.org
Once you have bought your ticket, please contact our volunteer coordinators, Meredith and Susan, at volunteers[at]recycledrainbow[dot]org to sign up as a volunteer!
Thank you!

Here are descriptions of the roles we desperately need filled:
Emergency Services Department: ESD’s are responsible for handling all on site medical and fire emergencies.They are currently looking for CPR certified, EMS, Paramedics, First Responders, or anyone working in the medical field. We can offer discount tickets to anyone who volunteers for ESD, so if you can please let us know!
Gate Keepers/Greeters: The Gate is one of the most visible departments for the event.As the first person they see upon arriving and before entering the gate, your smiling face and the information you give will welcome each participant whether it’s their first time or family returning “home”. The Gate is intended as a well-run, easy to do, fun job!
Rangers: Handle conflict resolution and work in cooperation with the Emergency Service Department. Rangers are not security. They handle conflict by attempting to communicate and reach compromises so police don’t have to be called. The Team Lead communicates with other teams to ensure proper and fast response in the event of emergencies.
