I got one at $200. I had the same problems as everyone else earlier in the day, but I was at work and should not have been online for tickets anyway. Tried again from home around 10:30 pm eastern and it went without a hitch in minutes. Cheers!

That’s kind of how it went for me last year, I was up all night because the went on sale midnight PST I didn’t get a confirmation and ended up giving up and went to bed around 4 bought a ticket when I got up for the second tear price the got the confirmation on the first ticket, cleared it up and got the cheaper one.

It took me a lot of will power to not buy a ticket during the frenzy, I just can't .



I see unjonharley has been on the board, it’s good to see him around I hadn’t seen him for a while. He said in his post he was 69 but I could swear he had said he was older than that last year. maybe he’s counting backwards.

Hey, kitty kat. Here's a beer. Tell us about your travels. As for Unjonharley's age - maybe the playa life does that. I look forward (backward?) to being 20 again, but with 30+ extra years of knowledge. I wish! JAYZUSS!! Every cop car in the county pulled up to the house on the corner, dogs, guns, spotlights! This used to be a quiet place.

From the looks of things on the eplaya, Tribe and other distant points this ticket mess stirred up more people than anything we've seen in a while. It makes me wonder how long the backlash is going to go on and more importantly what changes will be made because of it.

Anyway didn't I leave a bottle of Patron around here somewhere? This place has expanded so much it's getting difficult to find things anymore. Not that I'm complaining....stuff like the hot tub is a very nice addition to the place.

BEER!!!

Oh... travels have been interesting. Many things that should be seen to be believed. Interesting... astonishing... astounding... but never really depressing. I saw many beautiful people doing many good things. Met new friends that I’d known forever and was blessed enough to be able to help them help others. Met folks from the area too... resilient is a term that fits. Saw the most beautiful sunset I think I’ve ever seen... and at was setting over the most silly of sights. It was... well... wonderfully indescribable.

More than I can really go into right now. Not because of lack of time, but really just because of a lack of words.

So I’ll sum it up by saying “It was heavy” and that I plan to go back again.

oh... And please stay low until the ruckus across the street has passed.

Until you find the words, Cheers! Hi, Kinetic. I think the Patron is there by the SlimJims.

And cheers to you!!!

Um... interesting items to tell about... ok... words are coming to mind. Forgive me. I'm just now getting back into the groove of being here instead of there...

We set up a make-shift forge out of found parts in the parking lot of the Buddhist Temple. Then proceeded to forge out parts for the railing on the new wheelchair ramp. That was pretty interesting and fun.

Hey BC!!!

Yeah, Z... it was really cool to see everyone using their skills to put a definite “Burner” touch things.

And the level of destruction in Biloxi was pretty intense. I’d say New Orleans and Biloxi are really two different disasters. N.O. was more of a long, miserable soak. Biloxi was a quick crash of tidal surge that crushed a lot of homes and lives. Went to both N.O. and Biloxi and it was pretty intense and emotionally moving stuff all around, for certain.
