Burning Man Presents for the benefit of the Burning Man Project... DECOMPRESSION 2012!

Welcome to the 13th Annual Decompression Heat the Street Fair! This year promises to be better than ever... HOWEVER there have been changes to our "urban playa" over the years. Here is what we ALL need to do to keep our event positive and Neighbor Happy!

1. ARRIVE EARLY! Enjoy the full day & keep the line shorter
2. Take mass transit or bike; bike parking at 19th and Minnesota St.; No driving on Minnesota between 19th and 22nd this year.
PARK cars at UCSF lot at 16th and 3rd -- discount rate all day till Midnight!
3 Respect our neighbors, no loud noises, don't block driveways, use OUR toilets
4. NO boom boxes, renegade sound systems or fire and keep noise down after 10pm!
5. Pack out all trash you bring and LEAVE NO TRACE!
6. Be quiet as you leave; don't wake sleeping neighbors. Shhhh...
7. Come back Monday at 11am to help with our neighborhood-wide clean-up so we can leave things cleaner than they were!

~ Thanks for helping to make this Decom the best yet!

The SF Decompression is powered by an amazing team of volunteers and tons of communal effort.

We also need volunteers to come back 11am Monday, Oct 8th to Indiana and 19th for our annual neighborhood clean up so we can leave the neighborhood cleaner than we found it! (We'll have donuts, coffee, great thank you schwag and new friends! Come earlier if you can get a head start.)

EVERYONE should read the Survival Guide DECOMandments before you come:
