Ok, Let me see if I understand your Karma.. :roll:

You camp with Entheon Village and pay the $200 for the meal plan.(2 meals a day and no water, yes no water is what a camper told us )( cooked with love from the Krishna's)

So your GIFTED 2 tickets. See a guy from Europe with no cash or ticket and you give him the fuck off treatment?? wOw.... :shock: :shock: :shock: Oh sure you sold the ticket and gave it back to the original owner but you gave a guy from EUROPE the FUCK-OFF...

Now it's late and I didn't like the way the Entheon Village operated last year, but if I'm not getting the facts right, please tell me..

I gather there is a fairly large underground culture of universal reciprocity in europe that operates all the time, not just in disneyland.
Maybe from his cultural point of view, it wasn't such a bizarre idea?

Did you ask his story?
Did he seem to be an utter moron or someone driven to get there?
It can't have been easy to get that far.

Yeah, I gotta say the energy expert in my office deals with 500 kV powerlines, and LNG, solar generating plants.

I felt bad for my friend and paid him face value for my ticket when I got back. I sold the other for like $80 and gave him that too.

The dude form Europe was a nice enough guy but he traveled all that way without knowing that there is a ticket required. Now he was either working a con to get sympathy or it was true and he is just too impractical for words (idiot comes to mind.). The universe may provide everything this guy needs, just not through me. He made a critical mistake far as I am concerned and I let him know it. My words were more gentle than "Hit the bricks."

For the record, I did not stay at Enthion (too crowded) but I did see the food and it was excellent. Worth $200 and much better than I was able to provide for myself.
