(2.) The Burning Man booth layout should be accessible and participative. Most booths have a long table which divides and separates people from the booth organizers (usually seated behind the table). I always remove the 7 foot table and replace it with a 2 or 3 foot wide table which allows people to walk into our booth and get close to the image board and to the burners working the booth. Most of the time we are standing, welcoming people in and talking to them.
(3.) Sell nothing at the booth. Having a prominent sign that says BUY NOTHING makes a big statement about Burning Man. Other commercially oriented booths have even found it threatening.
(4.) Keep the table neat and organized. No food or drink on the table at any time. The only exception is a bowl of candy which is provided for people stopping by the booth. The table covering should large enough to almost reach the floor. This year, I found some wonderful tan-colored fabric with a tiny playa crackled design on it. All extra materials, brochures and personal items should be out of sight under the table. An ice chest with water, soft drinks and such is also under the table. A few chairs are ringed around the booth perimeter to provide seating when booth workers (or anyone) needs a rest.
