Re: The LEtsGO Lounge is looking for campmates!
it -might- be.. We are the LEtsGO Lounge, (around 4:30 and E), and there was a Lego Bar camp (with vehicle) around the 7 o'clock spoke, IIRC.
I don't know if they are going this year, but it might be interesting to mash the two camps together.

Geo Dome Swap in Nor Cal?
Our theme camp has been using 17' diameter geo domes for camp infrastructure for the last few years. They can fit easily into our wagons and assemble fairly quickly. One dome has always been reserved for the public interactivity (playing with Lego), but as we get more popular, an 17 footer (which re...

Despite the flux in ticket availability this year, we’re looking forward to 6 months from now. Normally we turn the planning faucet on full blast by now, but this year we’re going to start slow and build up to a roar.. We –should- have a couple of returnees from previous years, but always like havin...

We're desiring to go , and strategizing if our core group can go, this year. We appreciate any donations.. out of three huge tubs we took in 2011, only 2 tubs worth came back home with us (the rest were adopted), so we always want to replenish.

Figures provided estimate there were around 110,000 requests for 40,000 tickets. What wasn’t disclosed is how the requests were partitioned amongst the three tiers. If we assume that request were proportionately dispersed over the actual ticket availability ratio, then we would have the distribution...

"They're more important than you. Or me. Or my individual camp. " I disagree. No specific camp, specific mutant vehicle, or specific artwork is irreplaceable (maybe The Man is the sole exception). There's been many great camps that have come and gone, but every one that has disappeared has allowed a...

I'm curious as to the condition of the road. It may be an alternate route out of BRC if 447 south to hwy 80 gets jammed up again.

YOUR THEME CAMP ISN'T THAT IMPORTANT .. and other thoughts.
Many people are posting about how their theme camp only got less than 25% of the 'needed' tickets for their entire camp to go, and now the camp might not go at all (insert dramatic music) with the tone of 'you'll miss us'. I have been 7 times, and I have yet to visit a theme camp where I said to mys...

Re: An idea to help ease the issues with tickets.
I think that why they have the STEP program developed, to handle those returns (if they truly exist). The problem is that if anyone has extra tickets, the first people they're going to offer them to are friends and campmates.. not just throw them back into the communal bucket. Thus, I think the opti...

One aspect I like about the new process.....
Sending the tickets *with* the survival guide in June. Reduces postage costs! This is a good idea.
There, I'm being positive. Now I'm going back to respectfully disagreeing with other aspects of the new process, and asking questions that haven't been answered.

I didn't infer that from the info.. it would seem to be counter to the goal of having people the highest bracket they can afford, in order to leave lower priced tickets for others. If someone is willing to buy at the $320 price point, under your model, they would possibly get tickets at the $240 pri...
