No compensation? Oh, hell no. Offer something, at least. Giving 200 people space to get naked, paint themselves, then come back later and make a mess cleaning off their body paint is no small favor.

Actually, there's more like 350 of us. One yard isn't enough - we fill three or four. But that's ok, 'cause we gots an indoor space.

Ivan, anyone who's giving you that kind of space for free is either an angel or a fool. I'm gonna second what Hernandez said: even if they're not "charging" you for water and clean up, do the right thing and make some kind of donation.

I don't know--there are probably a number of people who would pay good money for several hundred people to get naked in their backyard, especially if they plan ahead with a pay-per-view video feed...

Double ew. I watched the painting take place before last year's Solstice Parade and my eyes are STILL burning. It was not sexy (nor intended to be, of course).
