Just got my ticket

Post by AdamJackson » Fri Apr 03, 2009 4:14 pm

First timer here. Met Michael Michael at a LaughingSquid party and immediately picked up my ticket after our chat.

I've spent the last 2 hours exploring the website. I'm still a total idiot but i'm going to do what I can to make this an awesome trip. Wondering if I should team up with someone and how I find other teams?

Congrats on the ticket and welcome. Keep reading all you can to prepare for your adventure. It's like nothing you have ever experianced in your life. Read the First Timers Guide over and over and start making lists of things you will need and want to bring.

By the way, did you ask Michael Michael why he has two of the same first names? I think one of them is spelled differently, but who knows which one?

Brace yourself for the ride of your life!

The second. I don't know how it is spelled, that one of my big weaknesses. I'm sure if you look at the part of the website that introduces the llc members the "real" spelling will be there.

I looked it up and his last name is spelled Mikel.
I'm thinking about using the online name Shambala-Shambala, or Sham-Sham for short.

If I remember correctly, Mikel has or had and art car that is a green Oldmobile Cutlass (I think) crushed in the SF earthquake on October 17th 1989 at 5:04PM. The car is called "5 04 PM" with a matching lisence plate and has a crushed roof and trunk, but was pefectly drivable by a moderately eccentric dude.

I just found this image online. Sometimes I scare myself with the obscure crap I remember. Now if I could just remember where I left my car keys! :shock:

Teh preference is for idiots who have read the survival guide and have shown themselves to be responsible and to have a good sense of humor. Those idiots are welcome at Barbarian Camp.
