Did you lose your ticket in 2004 or 2005? in Empire...
I took the bus into Empire, from Black Rock City...in around 2004---2005, to get some extra stuff. I found a fresh ticket, by the porta-potties at the gas station. Figuring, the tickets owner would be looking for it, I gave it to the cashier at the Empire store...rather than it be blown away, in the wind..
As the bus returned, turning off the pavement, I saw a girl by her car...with a sign that read "I NEED A MIRACLE!" At the gate, the gate staffer who checked the bus was a complete asshole, and refused to let me exit the bus, run back and let the girl know I had found her ticket. The bus driver wasn't much better..and I had to bribe that fucking hippie with beer, just so he would stop and tell the girl, on his return trip.
This has been bugging me for years, and it would be a great relief to hear that she got her ticket! Was it you? or do you know her? Think I was specific enough with the details...

The " I need a miracle" girl was brought in by one of the locals from my camp, I think it was 2004, she went off to center camp, came back a few hour later, said she found the note on the board right where her friends said they would leave it, I gave her a ride to her camp on my MV and I never saw her again...she wasn't with a themecamp, and I don't remember exactly where her frinds camped (8:00 & D,E ?), she said she lost her ticket at the store....prolly the same ticket/person.
I hope you can sleep better now.

If what you say is true..Then I think I met her at the ranch. She's married now, so I really can't say much else. I'm glad she found her way though!!mdmf007 wrote:One eye made that up so you can sleep better. The gal that lost the ticket ended up a drug addict and is still turning tricks at Brunos for food and meth. If only you could have gone back, she wouldnt have missed the burn, and missed her ride out.

It's not a bad life, I suppose, except maybe for the brandings.

I was wearing my rubber duck footy pajamas, listening to Johnny Cash...ironically enough. I'm gonna have to invest in some pink bunny slippers though!ygmir wrote:who says they do, Bob?
