Burning Man

Here's a fun one from the online feedback form...

Hello! My husband and I came across your ice cream ball in the REI catalogue. As we are preparing to go to the Black Rock Desert for Burning Man at the end of August, we thought this might be a viable product to try out in the survival mode of this event.

Tonight we began experimenting with different ingredients which we could bring into this harsh environment without spoilage, and find that it is quite possible to make a great ice cream product.

If you are not familiar with the Burning Man event, let me tell you that one of the main aspects of it is that nothing is sold. Everyone brings something to gift to the community. Some teach classes, others set up discotheques and bars, some produce wonderful and inspiring art pieces, others dance and drum. We thought it might be fun to make ice cream in the desert!

However, the balls that you manufacture cannot make a lot of quantity at a time. We cannot afford to buy a quantity of your balls.

So here is my proposal to you: Please consider gifting us some balls to take to Burning Man and we will advertise the ice cream making and promote your balls. I just bet that a lot of people will come to try them out and will want to purchase them. If you furnish us with the names of the distributors we will give them out to folks who are wanting to purchase them.

What do you think?

By the way, I have tried powdered goat's milk and maple syrup and have made a wonderful healthy ice cream. I can think of a number of interesting recipes that I will be trying out. As I write this missive, I am trying out a recipe for Mojito Sherbert. I'll let you know how it goes!

Thank you for your consideration of my idea. I will be waiting to hear from you!
