If our raffle pulls in enough money to cover the cost of the ticket, the winner will go home ticket in hand. If we don't pull in enough to cover the ticket cost, winner gets 1/2 the pot in cash.

Here’s how the costume swap works:
Dig deep in those dusty playafied bins, you know there are a few things that need new homes...the time has come to upgrade it for something wonderful that lets your inner beauty SHINE!
We want your costumes, clothes, and accessories. Got unwanted craft supplies? Stuff in your storage unit you’ve been meaning to donate to goodwill? Clothing that can be reborn as a costume? Makeup or supplies you’re done with?
If you bring good shit, you get good shit. Take home as much as you can carry.
Quality is key here! And we’ll bring repair and supplies to help dress up the bits that need a little TLC.
This year we’re really encouraging people to pass along camping gear that you don’t need, hoping to help out fellow burners save a couple bucks on essentials. So if you've got EL wire parts, headlamps or flashlights, camp chairs, tent or camping supplies, gently used backpacks, or other small gear, please consider swapping it. Please keep gear tent size or smaller and in decent condition.
Just like last year's ridiculously fun time, we're expecting to have piles of:
- hats and wigs
- tutus and skirts
- costume jackets
- drag of all kinds
- boots
- gowns and lingerie
- fabric and crafting supplies
- headlamps and el wire
- camp supplies
This time around, our lovely MCs will be on hand to call out spectacular looks you put together. We might ask you to show off a little for the crowd.
At the end of the swap, everything that hasn’t found a home will be donated to Kostume Kult to be distributed on playa or to Out of the Closet.
This is a fundraiser, and we'll be asking for a small donation at the door, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
Your donations help to build The Family Jewels, a brand new, queer, large scale, interactive, light sculpture to the Burning Man this year. For more about The Family Jewels, visit our Indiegogo link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-family-jewels-project-burning-man-2015#/story
If you are considering coming please RSVP...Oasis has been kind enough to donate the space and we want to let them know a ballpark count for attendance. Cheers!
