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.

Hey Ho All! CampDaddy here wanting to send out a great big Thank You for participating at RR09!

Thru Armageddon, a bad case of Mutation and upward to Elevation, Recycled Rainbow is what we, as a community, make it. This year was the best RR to date thanks to all of you!

While RR09 is over, the one and only Official Recycled Rainbow Elevation Decompression is on the schedule! RR Decomp includes not only persons who attended RR09 but anyone who wanted to but could not. Anyone who attended and has friends that want to be there to see a mini version are welcome too.

Decompression is scheduled for October 10 at Crystal Springs Campground, 31478 Bagley Road , North Ridgeville , OH 44039 . Entry fee is $10 per person to cover the portajohn rental. There is no re-entry fee. Overnight camping is permitted and encouraged.

BE AWARE!! The section RR will be using is completely primitive. No running water, no electricity. The verge is well trimmed. There is a stand of trees for camping in and setting up rain shelters. There will be one portable restroom present. Bring warm clothes. Bring rain shelters. Bring waterproof boots. Bring ear plugs. Don’t drive faster than 5 mph when entering the campground (SERIOUSLY!) No big bonfires are permitted per North Ridgeville fire department. We can have lots of small campfires.

Even tho RR09 is ended, RR10 is now less than a year away! Announcements for the theme and dates will up coming sometime after the first of the year. As will announcements concerning Primer for sometime in May.

Rumor mill advocates seem to think a shake up about the theme of RR10 will occur. Keep an eye out for details.

Everyone I talk to is getting ready for RR at the end of the month. Signs are being painted, lamps assembled, sculptures built. The last RR meeting before the event happened on August 29 with a lot of discussion about gate policy, rangering, greeting and emergency services. The energy is palpable.

RR this year looks like it will include (at least) five large-scale installations from five different teams including Notacamp, the Failure Society, 9VHH, Dirt Goddess and a crew of volunteers planning and building our first temple. But that’s not all. Bar Soul/Ever is Camp 362s gift boasting a jaunty atmosphere, formal wear cocktail parties and an elevated sense of style for RRs hub of social imbibement. Metamorphosis (RR’s underground dance club/immersive visual environment) will be expanded and a new and improved Cyberdelic will be unveiled this year.

The RR DBS has been building gates with their own special theatrical “flair” with a more utilitarian approach to the Invisible City’s utilitarian blank slate.
