Loose Seuss Theme Camp

21/04/2023

Just getting over the last of the Blaze Haze now and wanted to take the chance to show some love.

Every camp has their storm stories and while we didn't get to deliver our full program, we played between rain and got to scratch an itch multiple times thru the weekend.

So thank you to everyone that visited, bunkered down, danced or helped out in anyway, shape or form. Its why we do it.

To Teejay and his crew from Shouting Fire. It was an unexpected ride getting the camps to Blaze, thanks for keeping the energy and motivation up.

To the camp members. It doesn't happen without you. It would have been pretty basic without a team, so thanks for all chipping in and making the whole thing so much easier and so much better than I could have hoped for in our first outing.

The post Blaze/Burn inner investigation has some way to go. But the common thread so far is how pumped I am to bring this back bigger n better for next year.

Also photo credit to anyone's photos im using... sorry I haven't kept track with them. Tag away.
Big Love,

Rafikii.

Big shout out and loose love to howe for the artwork. Planted the seed in passing that some art would look good down the side, and then produced this.

The look on peoples faces when they see it for the first time has been amazing to watch. It's easy to have high hopes when you're dreaming up ideas for this, but to try to describe what I'm thinking and then get back something on the money with interest every time was unbelievable.

Get around Timmy if you've got something coming up. Absolute skills.

Thanks mate.

We are getting close to Blaze which means we can finally get our Horton out in public 🤪🤪

The team smashed it over the weekend, to the point where we can almost see the light(s)... and feel the cold... as well as taste our unbrushed teeth and smell the nag champra burning near the speakers on day 5...

But we want to take a moment for a few appreciation posts.

Morecombe is going to hate this, but whatta man, whatta man, whatta man, whatta a mighty good man...

The man they myth the legend. I have no doubt there was more than once where he regretted getting in on this project, but we survived. Im also sure that he wanted to kill me as many times as i wanted to turn off his country music... but here we are... trying not to see each for a bit haha.

The initial vision was to Mad Max this s**t! Add a splash of steampunk, some other crap welded on... it didnt seem all that hard. Given its starting point, i didnt think there were many other options.

But as you can see, Lee had other ideas. Opened up his workshop, toolbox, and calendar for months to get this done. There are some details under that paint that may never be truly appreciated. We joke that its held together with 38kgs of Bog (fact BTW) but the structural work he did to return this from scrap metal to set it up for its next chapter was impressive. Rebuilding the front windscreen pillars from scratch was a thing of beauty... The whole back end is sexy AF and basically didnt exist when i bought it, and the custom interior for the DJ Booth is mint!

Thanks for not burying me in the paddock. Let me know when your ready to start our next joint project 😎😎

Its getting real when the WTF guide is released!

The WTF Guide helps participants navigate and find activities, art, theme camps and so much more at our amazing event! That said, every year there are amazing things that aren’t in the guide and self-discovery is the only way to find them. There is always something happening at Blazing Swan, so ke...
