Hello all!

Post by Dsm253 » Thu Apr 20, 2017 9:08 pm

First timer here, but I've been wanting to make it out for several years, and passively planning it. Last year I took the week off from work and thought it was gonna pan out, but wasn't able to secure a ticket. This year, however, luck is finally on my side and I was awarded a low income ticket.

At this point, it looks like I'll be coming solo (unless my lady friend also finds a ticket), driving from Missouri. Not really looking to join a camp or ask for any specific advice at this point, just wanted to jump in and start getting a little more involved. Beyond excited to finally make it out there, and hope to meet many of you there! If anyone is around the KC area and wants to bounce ideas around sometime, feel free to hit me up!

Congratulations on scoring a ticket. The excitement level definitely starts to rise after that point. Good luck with getting your lady a ticket. Fingers Crossed.

Welcome!

Hey there, welcome to ePlaya!

When I was a kid I used to pray every night for a new bicycle.
Then I realized that the Lord doesn't work that way so I stole one and asked Him to forgive me
