Chapter 3.1 - Your Camp
Jilakin Rock City is a noisy place.
Music, laughter, questionable performance art, chanting, shouting, singing, and drumming are all part of the experience. Blazing Swan is dedicated to Radical Self-expression, but it is also dedicated to creating community. This means we all must find a way to get along with our neighbours – having a good time at the expense of ruining someone else’s experience is just not cool. Neighbours should talk to one another when sound becomes a problem and try to resolve the issue through direct communication. If your neighbour feels your sound is too loud, you must work with them to find an acceptable volume.
Any unresolved complaints about excessive sound will become the concern of the Jilakin Rock Rangers.
While the drone of raves in the night is something we can all adapt to, the relentless brrrrraaaaaaaaappp of a noisy generator is quite another. Please adhere to the following guidance regarding generator use:
Noisy and non-silenced generators are strongly discouraged and only to be used between 10AM and 2PM
Bring the quietest generator you can afford, and the smallest that will meet your needs
Don’t run your generator late at night or early in the morning
Place the generator as far from other camps as possible
Not everyone will want to sleep when you do. Be advised that there are no noise-free zones at Blazing Swan, only less-loud areas; light sleepers are advised to bring earplugs.
