Aiding ticketless burners ticket revocation is FASCIST

[amalin]

aay captain you made your 4020 post -
applause

[Captain Goddammit]

What a mean spirited thing to say, Lonesomebri. You're a fascist. See if I ever help you sneak in again.

And, Ailing, "420" is the pot code word, not 4020. You're spinning a little too fast.

Story,, If the old man at the orphanage was pissed and throw our ass out in the night some times..The theater owner would let use slip in the fire door and sleep along with a free movie.. There was a doctor in town that was so obese he bought a double seat so he could watch movies.. My brother was bigger than I so he slept on the big seat.. I was only four or five and fit nicely on a single seat..

however
when that person is dumb enough to inform who helped him or her get the desert - and perimeter manages to track 'm down - their tickets are revoked and those folks are kicked out too -

- have we not all sneaked in a show - event - festie - concert at least once in our lives????

Wondering about the rest of the story?
Did you give someone a ride to the area that ratted you out?


As for concerts, they will throw you out when they catch you sneaking in.
Not really a surprize.

Fyi - the BLM can and always has been able to arrest someone trespassing and impound all property.
They have done this in the past when they felt like it.
Gate lets people off easy.

The justice dept has seized $4.2 billion dollars without due process, and that probably doesn't include BLM.
Supreme court hearing pending.
Probably not a fun fight to be involved in.

So what happened?

[Lonesomebri]

What really upsets me about someone sneaking in without paying for their share of the event, isn't the money.
It's that they manage to get away without having to face the Greeters.

I've always considered perimeter more like weird prison guards, or zoo wardens...not so much traditional fascism...

Paying to go to an entertainment event, or not paying and not going, isn't really all that draconian. If you want free invite to someone elses party, you can't make them, but you can embrace and live your ideals yourself! but you don't. Think about that. you won't. And parts of your story smells of you mixing up with other flaky folks and them squealing on you, which is a reflection on your choice of acquaintances and judgement skills. Success would have let those types of scum in to mix. This story sound similar to another poster from a year or so back. With such weak character, the next step of blaming others for a poor choices is a natural progression. Again, if there is anyway to keep people like this out of the event, I will chip in an extra $5 service charge.

What the hell, as long as your creeping around here, show me your tits.

[GreyCoyote]

Ummm,... Guys? "TROLL!!!"

It this was a religious site, Amby would be asking if nuns prefer it in the bum or orally and quote us his/her statistics based on experience. Anything to get our goat. Here it was ticketless entry. (Next it will be about the positive environmental effects of JOTS tipping).

Just sayin.

[Simon of the Playa]

and its on time, too.

Amalin, the policy change regarding stowaways was made in 2011. It was announced in the Jack Rabbit Speaks, and posted prominently on the boards. It may have also been posted on the blog, FB, and twitter pages. I think we've also reposted the stowaway info in each subsequent year.

It's really simple. Check to make sure that the passengers in your vehicle have either tickets in hand or the necessary printouts/info they'd need to take to the gate to pick up their will call order. Be a responsible burner, and don't aid and abet those who would sneak into Burning Man. Speaking personally, I say fuck you and your friends if you somehow feel entitled to sneak in (or try) without consequences.

But I like it when the trains run on time.

[BBadger]

So like if I show up at your door with a casserole, am I entitled top free lodging for a month? After all, I brought a fucking casserole! Or like, when you call the police to kick my sorry ass out because I've been helping myself to your refrigerator and car, are you being a fascist? Shit yo, I thought my contribution -- in the form of a casserole -- was good enough to let me in, and let me stay!

I don't know what to believe anymore. First it was these people using "hero" to mean any inspiring figure, no matter what they did, rather than someone who actually risked their life to save me. Now there's this "fascist" term meaning anybody who doesn't let you trade what you think is fair for whatever you want. I thought "fascist" meant some sort of ultranationalism based on darwinism? Not just preventing hippie entitlism. Maybe I need to reevaluate my opinion of fascism. It doesn't sound so bad in that light.

[ygmir]

oh those nutty Perimeter folks...............

[Nipple]

... Are they going to be RAD once they're in?

This is similar to someone climbing unbidden through my kitchen window.

I wouldn't be surprised if they ate my pies, stole my toaster or pissed in my fruit bowl.

[Captain Goddammit]

I guess if Gate and Perimeter are fascists, the OP must be a communist!

[Lord Of Ruin]

Thanx all - YEAH we deserve a brutal, hierarchical, inherently undemocratic entity such as a blanket statement free loader perimeter police force to keep the unwanted out as well as their accomplices........... revoke them tickets - punish them - let's get the rotten eggs and tomatoes out!!! Party Time

What was I thinking? It is obviously way too early to examine & reject all the practices that have made the old models for community oppressive and dysfunctional........ not to mention 99% hypocrite.........

Let's compromise with The Man. Hallelujah

I feel torn; on the one hand feeling elated that someone is so enamored of the magic we create, that they can no longer see that it's a construct at all. On the other, I'm a bit sad that this person is about to get a full dose of reality in short order.

Nope...never snuck in a concert, festie or other show. Have been poor in my life, though. Know what I did when I wanted to see/do something I had no money for? I found a way to work for what I want. And that means maybe doing something you don't want to do now so you can do something you want to do later.

Anyone that uses the "tried every way they could to get tickets" immediately loses all credibility as part of the community. Tickets were readily available for all...you just need to have money and be patient.

Committed Perimeter Fascist

[BBadger]

Hippies are the salt of the earth. Thank the hells the perimeter keeps so many out.

[Elderberry]

I don't want to pass judgment or mock a steriotype, but what do you want to bet that amalin is a registered Democrat?

Hey, I resemble that remark. And I'll take that bet. I say he doesn't even participate in the political process at all, but he certainly doesn't reflect the attitude of any Democrat I know. Well, unless they were caught doing something illegal, but I know some Republicans that would fit that bill too.

[BBadger]

I say he doesn't even participate in the political process at all ...

That's what I'm thinking too -- unless it's belonging to the Radical Entitlement party.

[gaminwench]

I think he's a she, based on original (2005?) postings ...

[GreyCoyote]

Elective stupidity transcends any political party affiliation. It isn't an exclusive club.

[ygmir]

someone said Perimeter vehicles were going to have shovels this year to save on rides out after being caught.

Just put a black plastic over "em for a week..

Cow-catchers. So they can push the offending camp out of the closure area.

or a snow groomer, with that really big blade that catches and piles snow for spreading down stream.

On a lighter note. My husband and I are Hippies. Can't seem to wash it off. We are Dylon fans so 35 years ago he thought it was great to write on my guitar. Dylon's guitar says, "This machine kills Fascists." Mine kills 'fascits'. So you fascits stay away from me.

[gyre]

I thought that was Woody Guthrie?

Are you sure the machine isn't just killing skin flora to prevent "necrotizing fasciitis"?
