Greetings Cyphertown!
We have some news to share with you!
Due to all the circumstances described below, we have decided to re-form much of our theme camp infrastructure, focus our energies on our Stage and Artist Lineup and reduce our camp registration to a suggested donation of $50-$100!
(No One Turned Away for Lack of Funds)
Our website will be updated soon, and until then you can go directly to http://cyphertown08.eventbrite.com to register for Cyphertown @ Burning Man!

What Happened?
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Cyphertown Council has been working hard to provide the community with a comprehensive theme camp with full amenities and many special surprises! However, we have discovered that this Premium Service is not what our community is wanting and/or able to afford right now.
The music and art is number one. That's why we gather in this circle, right?
Adaptability is a crucial trait in this shifting world...
So...
LET THE SHOW GO ON!!!
Cyphertown Council has decided to refocus its energy away from building a full theme camp infrastructure that is funded by attendees, and instead provide a place for any hip hop heads to come throw down their art and create a stage and sound system to feature Hip Hop Culture on the Playa!
So, how we gonna pay for this? We don't have any MAJOR sponsors yet, but several of our wonderful friends have pledged a portion of our costs, and we are attracting the abundance to COMPLETE THIS PROJECT!
Check it:
Spirit is working strong, and our team is busting out. Cyphertown will ABSOLUTELY be creating a POWERFUL presence at BURNING MAN ’08!
AND we are not completely funded yet! We are looking for people who are interested in investing $1,000 to $5,000 to sponsor Cyphertown at Burning Man. Sponsorship levels come with benefits, such as VIP passes to our entire next season of productions, drinks, posters, stickers and more! Please help us locate people who would be EXITED to participate in this way! The Burn is just WEEKS away, so move with a quickness!
The energy that we gather by busting out on the playa will carry through our whole next season of productions, as we raise funds and awareness for good causes and TRANSFORM THIS WORLD FOR THE BETTER!
This is an excellent opportunity to become intimately involved with one of the hottest stages on the playa and a movement that is already rolling.
