Something Else

<@UU6KJ4Q3X> – can you write up a small doc on what a Something Else Tea House would look like?
• Infrastructure needs (eg. “20' dome, mountains of fluff, low tables, teapots) and what is potentially borrowable from the existing Tea House.
• Staffing needs – how many folks for setup/strike and then ongoing staffing. How much of a team do you need, and what jobs would they be doing?

Can we recruit volunteers through the central volunteer recruiting? Normally we get volunteers through the tea house list serve but this won’t be an official tea house event

Also, how are we storing the equipment the rest of the year? My apartment is very small so I don’t have storage 

we’d prefer to not store equipment. so let’s do as much as we can with what we already have or can borrow

Great news! Full circle tea house isn’t going to burning man this year so Starfox and I are going to work on bringing it to something else. This will make the logistics a lot easier since they already have a system 

woot! should we invite them to the slack, or are you going to coordinate everything?

<@UHJDNGSBF> will there be any social distancing at this party given that everyone will be vaccinated? Star fox is proposing a distanced tea party

Not fully decided, but the point of everyone being vaccinated is - no. 

Also this will be a mostly outdoor event and whatever’s indoors will be in a tent or dome or some such airy structure 

If the event were today, we'd go vaxx only, stay home if sick, no distance or masks.

@here can everyone fill this out <http://whenisgood.net/jzk4shk|http://whenisgood.net/jzk4shk> for our tea house sync 

added my availability here. i can’t computer via text msgs thx!

monday may 3 i am quite available :slightly_smiling_face:

Also, can everyone put their email below so I can add everyone to our google docs

Google docs should go on the shared soel folder on Google drive

<@UU6KJ4Q3X> I made a Tea House folder in the 2021 folder <https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IchGUwBH3P6YENTbXK99dUl7y4B-U4iA?usp=sharing>

<@UU6KJ4Q3X> tea mtg this week?
6pm on 5/3
is this happening or not? I don't understand complicated anything in txt msg

I think we’re holding a few weeks until Jae returns from vacation

I filled it out, I assumed that the times were PM.? They are listed as AM

let me recreate it, it looks like it’s in the wrong time zone

Doing it! But, some of the weekend times are AM and I think they should be PM?

yeah Doodle is being super weird, it was it European time and not converting. let’s check the newest poll, it should be correct

lol I didn’t even notice at first, I’m like “Yeah, weekday mornings are great”

i hit this same problem with doodle recently. they default you to zurich time zone and don’t mention it

<!channel> - tea house mtg at top of the hour!

Tea house structure thread (pulling from this DM from <@UU6KJ4Q3X>)

Tea House kickoff 2021-06-02

From the <https://docs.google.com/document/d/14pIaZE9u367Rd49A6UbwMUyTeKHDwbCRTFwlsO_ONtU/edit|Tea House meeting notes>, here are the shifts discussed, <@UHKBU2AQ7> :
&gt; Open for 3 nights
&gt; 6p-3a Friday (3 shifts)
&gt; 6p-6a Saturday (4 shifts)
&gt; 6p-midnight Sunday (2 shifts)

Previous proposed locations were on the Pond House porch and on the lawn by the Lanai. <@UU6KJ4Q3X>, does the tea house own a structure, and if so, do you know if its size is included in the “9' cargo van” transportation estimate or if it exceeds that?

In my experience, you don’t need a shade structure between the hours of 6pm and 6am. Am I missing something?

I took “shade structure” to mean any kind of enclosed space, which I think it will need. But yea - <@UU6KJ4Q3X>  - what’s the infra supplied?

The pond house porch is quite nice for tea. Jae has used it before

<@UHKBU2AQ7> I believe the (legit) concern about the pond house porch is that limits the possibility of that house being used for guests/organizers, since they will have to walk around the tea house to access the house.

A main tea house need that was mentioned in the Tea House kickoff was a 15A dedicated circuit within a 3 min walk of the site, so the crew can heat water for tea.

Cool! My belief is a pond house should be sufficient for this goal. If we need another spot for it we should figure that out. But it does not have to be a real shade structure. And they are bringing all the fluff they need. So I think it would be easy to give them a spot.

This was discussed on our kickoff call with jae

Tea house easily has carpets, squish and tea tables. We don’t have an overhead structure easily accessible but as Chuk said, serving will be at night so it’s not a problem if we have no shade.  All of our equipment will fit in a 9 ft truck (using about 3/4 of the space)

It might be chilly at night so I think some sort of enclosed structure would be good. 

Hey everyone! We’re about a month out from the party and I’m seeing that a lot of the post midnight shifts for the tea house haven’t been filled yet. I’m wondering if we should just cancel the tea house service after midnight or if we should try to promote those shifts (either to the general public or to the tea house list serve).

yeah like both. Pls reach out thru your teahouse listhost about late night shifts at the event!

If we still have not filled them by event time you can make an exec decision on whether to shift shift times around (eg start them a bit later so they end after midnight if ppl are game) or just close up shop at midnight (also ok) or play it by ear (also ok). Boss pants.
