Pandora's Lounge and Fix-it Shoppe is a registered theme camp in the Burning Man Project. Based out of St. Louis, Missouri, our camp claims members from as far as New Orleans, Austin, and Boulder. Now in its third year as a fix-it shop, Pandora's strives to help others become more self-sufficient on the playa by fixing and making usable what would otherwise become MOOP. In 2008, our camp hosted workshops on fixing: mohawks, bikes, costumes, fire performance gear, and nuclear reactors. All week we provide tools and kits for fixing a variety of items, and we strongly encourage others to come prepared to fix their own stuff, though many of our camp mates may be able to provide guidance. NEW FOR 2008: our camp was "green" on the MOOP map for the third year running!! Hooray for our camp members who took extra time to do careful MOOP sweeps of our camp area!! One of our top goals as a camp is to practice habits that limit our environmental impact, even with the majority of our members traveling close to 2000 miles each way.
