This entry will be staying at the top of my diary until Monday morning; new entries are posted below it. If you're coming to BMEfest or interested in coming, please read this entry.
Quick FAQ and Handy Links
More are on the ticket page and in the official forum and event page — check them!
Hotels and Information
Rebekah has a catch-all page of links here that you may find quite useful, and typealice has an overview of some of the main hotels here.
Finding people in La Paz
Outside of making arrangements in advance, Allen is running a “La Paz Communication” link where you can post where you're staying and how to get in touch with you (Update: use the people finder instead; login as 'bmefest' with the password 'bmefest'). If you still can't find anyone on a given day, just take a walk down the waterfront Malecon — with approaching a hundred people confirmed there's a real good chance you'll bump into someone you know. Say hello!
Local IAM members
RAFAEL is a piercer and scarification artist (and a very nice guy that's helped with the event) here in La Paz; if you're thinking about getting a tattoo or anything like that on vacation, he's the guy that can tell you where to go and can introduce you to other IAM members who live in the area. While I'm mentioning work, Stainless will be here as well.
Suspension
Rachel and my house has a private walled compound and we're willing to let people suspend from the trees — if you want to do that, for now, make arrangements with Allen.
Media
Discovery Channel (from Australia!) will be there filming. I told them it was just a laid-back BBQ, but I guess they got lured in by Pain Solution and The Lizardman. They know they have to get permission of anyone they film. Wear your favorite studio's t-shirt!
