One is not a first timer until one acquires a ticket. One is merely a wanna-gin.

Good luck.

Poor guy is now getting bombarded with ticket requests in his post about other people offering him tickets. It's like ducks going after any piece of trash thinking it's a piece of bread.

I don't speak a word of Italian beyond pasta shapes, and that was more comprehensible to me than many of the other ticket posts trying to manifest an epiphany, or something.

Well done sir.

LOL nice one Simon. I was wondering how long that would take.

Just a few more days and the ticket wanted forum will go dead again.

I don't care it's your birthday. I don't care about your relationship status. I don't care about your gender. I don't care about how many times you've been to burningman--even if you haven't. I don't care about your job. I don't care how you didn't get tickets before. You're just one more speck who has a bad case of solipsism, as far as I'm concerned.

Why is it that when someone's friends all got tickets in the OMG sale, and you couldn't be at your computer, you didn't ask one of these friends to buy an extra one for you?

Ah right, senior thesis research to interview Burners. Yet another way that student loan is going to good use. I guess you'll have to graduate next year.
