Its not that I feel guilty that I have a ticket (thanks to a friend, not the lotto which I lost), its that I feel like the infrastructure of the city is out of whack. I hope things get smoothed out in the next couple months. Only time will tell. I am going to play this one by ear. But if things see...

I agree whole-heartedly with the thread starter. Can't have a community-driven event if you can't even rely on the community to show up. Sounds like BM 2012 is going to be hot and boring to me, but I'd love to be wrong.

I have my ticket, btw, so this isn't my rejected angst speaking.
