Survival Guide print copies

Post by Homiesinheaven » Wed Jul 29, 2009 2:35 pm

i received my copy today and i'm excited to place it over my toilet for great bathroom reading.

does anyone know if you can order extra copies? there's virgins in my camp that are buying their tickets from other people so they wont be receiving the precious guide. i know you can download it and print it but i'm wondering if we can throw a few bucks toward the cause.

thanks for your help!

print it out yourself, it reads fine in black-and-white

make sure they get a copy, if they are new.

You can adjust the preferences on the printer so it only uses black.

Only those who are Real Burners got a Guide in the mail.

The pretenders have to resort the online copy.

Holy crap, I just re-read that, and what it's suppose to say is "What's the 'survival guide'? and do I get a copy from the lobby when we check in?"

Now, now boys. You know the rule. Useful answer first, snark afterwards. Now apologize for your premature emmissions.

Babiemonkie--the guide is sent to all addresses from the ticket sales, I think. Last year I didn't get mine, and I"m not sure if that's because it was sent to work and didn't get to me, or if something else happened. But I got mine in the mail on Tuesday.

If you don't get one, download and read it. Good info, there.

And you owe Dougly and Bounce a spanking.

Woohoo got mine today (2 actually 'cause of 2 seperate ticket purchase times I s'pose)
Took a copy to work and devoured it (not literally), great stuff! Do you think they will have ticket checkers right at the turnoff from the highway? It reads that way, that would be new. Gate is quite a ways down the lane.

They did get 1-6 and 10 of the Braille dots right too :wink:

Thanks Crypto. That would explain why I didn't get one yet since I don't live at the place my ticket was sent. I got the ticket as a gift from my little brother for my birthday :) I read the one online so I think I am prepared.
