1) Afterburn Survey: Please yell at us nicely today
Now that the ticks have fallen off, and you're still {glowing? itching?} from the woods -- help make things better next year by completing our anonymous 10-15 minute survey. Re-live your memories as you check the boxes, and let us know how you feel about everything Firefry.
Loved an art piece? Great, we'd love to know so we can fund more art like that! Hated the newsletters? Couldn’t find the dumpster pool? Air your grievances or praise to us, and we'll turn your [anonymous] data into a better event. Do it now:
2) Lost & Found: Claim by July 31
Help lost things find their owners! LNT boss Kel has photographed yuge piles of found items from the woods - fun finds include a fire-eating wand, and a skeleton print corset. Browse the album and claim your stuff by July 31 before it all gets vaporized.

3) Please share your Firefly pictures!
Want to share your event photos with the community, but don't want to be beholden to Facebook? Share them on Firefly's web gallery! The basics:
* Try to get permission from identifiable participants in advance.
* Don't post pictures of participants wearing "No Photography" wristbands.
* Be thoughtful about posting pictures that folks may not want shared (e.g. nudity).
