Tickets: it's September, they haven't decided which day in Jan or Feb to sell them. Whatever, save your money so you're ready when they announce.

Theme: Really? You're worried they haven't announced a theme? Count your blessings- maybe they're trying to talk Larry down from a stupid one like "Future Dreams of Rites Unbidden from the Sea"

Take time to decompress and relax. Rumors come and go,,, but if you get in line when the tickets go on sale they won't be an issue.

As-far-as the theme goes, whatever it will be does not have an affect on whether the event will take place. I can almost guarantee you there will be an eventful gathering in the Black Rock Desert the last week of August 2012 whether tickets are sold or a theme is established.

I for one would welcome a eldritch chthonic theme.
The batrachian Man could be built on a cyclopean base constructed with indescribable Non-Euclidean angles and gibbous lighting.

And as the Man burns I would feel the last of my sanity burning with him and embrace the coming chaos.

Yeah, don't sweat either the theme (he says, while chomping at the bit waiting for an announcement) or the ticket on-sale date. Make sure you've got monies ready to spend in January and you're good to go whenever the tickets go on sale. And 90% of the art doesn't really have anything specific to do with the theme anyway. If you're contemplating some phantasmagorically awesome thing for next year, just do it! You can cook up a fun way to tie it into the theme later, if you like :-)

The theme for 2012 is "Sports". At least that's the word on the street.

They removed the tickets on sale date from the main page because in 2012 they are beginning a lottery system for ticket sales. You heard it here first.



NOW THEY'VE REMOVED ANY MENTION OF TICKET SALES WHATSOEVER FROM THE MAIN PAGE!!

And by 'now' you mean several days ago :wink:

It'll be fine, there will be an event next year, tickets will go on sale in the usual timeframe and people will have months to get them.

Now now sub, don't be nervous. All will be well with the world very soon. It appears that tickets might be distributed a little differently than in the past. The crush of people all trying to get a small amount of tickets at 10:00am on ticket day may very well be a thing of the past.

I'm holding off on my furlough day selections until the ticket date comes out and the minimal agitation that causes is only from not having the paperwork out of the way and all my furlough days in the calendar. I know it makes more sense to leave one furlough day unused but ticket day is the furlough day epicenter and it is a bit early for Mancation and Govy dates to be set.... I'm intrigued by the wait and my own and others minor concern/hysteria to the lack of developments with the theme and sale date. I'll be on playa event or no event and with or without ticket. :D
