DOGS:

It pains our soul, because we are the loverest of dog lovers, but, because we have had so many problems with people not cleaning up after their beloved best friends, leaving their barking dogs in their cars while they are out partying, unleashed dogs roaming the property and beach, aggressive dogs going after people and other dogs, and most of all, the death of a dear furry friend at BuildingMan, We are not allowing dogs at BuildingWo-Man this year. Our permit with the BLM is in jeopardy due to the unleashed dogs etc. There’s too much traffic, heavy equipment etc and it’s dangerous for your pup. We understand that this is going to be very difficult for many of you who have loved to bring your dog to this event over the years, we really do, but the reality is that your dog doesn’t like the crowds, the loud music or the fireworks, and our numbers have grown past a point where we can provide a safe environment for everyone. Please do not bring your dog to BuildingWo-Man, Exceptions cannot be made, you will be turned away at the gate. If you have a legitimate service animal and need to bring it, please make arrangements before coming to the event. Our front gate staff will not take your service animal card as a solution.

AMENITIES:

Composting toilets a.k.a. “compoosters” will be provided for the festival. These amazing biofilter toilets require very little from you, Simply put, don’t put anything in the toilet except your pee and poop and TP. These are not your typical composting toilets, they do not need saw dust or anything like that. Please don’t throw your cigarette butts in the composters, they can and have caught them on fire. We will have the Moab Kitchen food truck providing healthy plant based meals in case you don’t feel like making food all weekend. Alcohol, ice, or water are not sold at the event. Be sure to bring enough food and water for yourself for the duration of your visit. You cannot survive on beer alone, we promise. No trash receptacles will be provided for the event. This is a pack it in/ pack it out scenario. We do not want your garbage. Junk is not jenk. We do encourage you to separate your trash and recycle or make bottle bricks out of your waste for future Jenkstar projects. Sustainability is the name of the game here =) What’s a bottle brick? Glad you asked, check out: How to Bottle Brick. Please don’t take your garbage to the beach dumpster, we encourage you to take it home as the influx of garbage in town is annoying for the locals.

Cell phone and intraweb connections are spotty at best on the ranch. Plan to turn off and tune in, Sherpa up a butte, or drive to town.

The fresh Juice Bar will be open during the day, selling fresh juice and coffee. Cash is the only acceptable form of payment and no ATMs are on sight. Plan accordingly.

WEATHER & TERRAIN:

We are hoping for perfect weather, but sh%* happens. JenkStar Ranch is a desert climate. It is hot during the day and chilly at night. Be sure to pack accordingly. Sunscreen and shade as well as jackets are always a good idea. Winds and rain can sometimes come through without warning. Be sure to stake your tents and shade structures down. We cannot stress this enough! Okay, maybe once more…. stake your sh%* down!!

The terrain at JenkStar is mostly forgiving although there are some hills, buttes, washes, ditches and cacti. A headlamp at night is necessary, and also sexy.

FIRST AID:

We will always have a first aid kit located in the First Aid tent and front gate. A 24hr med staff on-radio. If there is an emergency, please go to the Front Gate or The First Aid tent to radio for help.

GREEN RIVER UT:

We are lucky to be located about a 10-minute drive to beautiful Swasey’s Beach along the Green River. With that being said, the JenkStars are not affiliated or associated with Swasey’s Beach. It is a public beach, no nudity is permitted and no JenkStars are permitted to dump their garbage into beach receptacles; pack it in/ pack it out.

If you choose to go to the beach, carpooling is a very good idea, as there are limited parking spots, and local authorities like to ticket people who speed, park like jerks, or block Hastings road. So, carpool, carpool, CARPOOL! Don’t make us publicly shame you for driving solo. Mother Earth hates that sh%*!

Parking, if you get to the beach and there is not a parking space in the parking lot, please park at the boat ramp parking area and take the JenkStar Space Shuttle to the beach. It’s sure to be a good time. DO NOT PARK ON THE ROAD! We beg of you.

The town of Green River is also only a short drive from Jenkstar Ranch. It has many convenience stores and one small grocery store. However, if you require fat-free, gluten-free, fair trade, organic marshmallows, you probably wont find them in town. There is only a small liquor selection At the West Winds Restaurant in Green River and PBR is scarce. Try to get that stuff before you arrive. With that being said, Green River is a small community and we are the visitors, we love <3 our locals and they love <3 us, let’s keep it that way. Mind your p’s and q’s while visiting. Our relationship with them is important.

CAMPING AND GENERATOR USE:

Camping is permitted. RVs and campers are welcome at no additional cost. It is a first come, first serve basis for camping spots. Just because you have a generator doesn’t mean you need to use it all day or night. The JenkStars frown on excessive generator use. We are a solar powered event, and use generator power only when absolutely necessary. We expect the same from you. The Solar Police will be in full effect and they know how to flip power switches.

Campsite fires are prohibited, except in designated areas, and there are no designated areas. Fire pans and propane campfires are ok.

Pack for desert camping, you know the drill, we aren’t your mom. Self-reliance is necessary. However, some helpful things to remember could be:

-Headlamp/ earplugs

-Bug spray/ sunscreen

-A yoga mat

-Beach attire

-A reusable cup/ plate/ fork/ etc.

-Something to share for the Saturday family potluck

-A bottle for the SolLun “If you want some whiskey, bring us some whiskey.”

-Cash for the juice bar

-Your helmet and Tetanus shot – Yeehaw! Safety 3rd!

-An open mind

KIDS:

While this is a family-friendly event, kids are asked to be out of the adult zones i.e. Village and Main Stage areas by 11:00p.m. to allow for adult time. The curfew will be enforced. Any unattended feral children will be handed over to The Goblin King.

A family friendly camping zone is available. Ask the front gate to direct you. You and your toddler probably don’t want to end up next to a crash landed flying saucer blasting intergalactic tech house all weekend.

OTHER:

If at any time, you are unsure about how to get involved or make yourself useful at the event, try attending a workshop, pick up some MOOP, take some snacks to the Front Gate or Greeters crew, or check the What Where When schedules for something else that tickles your fancy. If all else fails, find someone who looks busy, and ask how you can help. This is a do-ocracy, and we are all JenkStars. Welcome to the family. <3

We hope this clarifies some common questions and questifies some common clarifictions. Feel free to message us on our Facebook page with anything else or ask a veteran for advice. We are excited to make .::magik::. and get weird with all of you.
