The official BMORG statement on 2012 tickets and theme:

[Elorrum]

that's good gadget. I hope this doesn't make me a McGyver sparkle pony.

[MyDearFriend]

Oh, WOW that is excellent gadget!!! What moment would not be right for that, please???

[theCryptofishist]

McGyver Sparklepony uses a plastic bag and rubber band instead of a gas cap. I don;t think that fork has anywhere near the ... um...scary inappropriateness to it.

[Elorrum]

If I used it to hold up a concrete slab I was crawling under, perhaps?

[theCryptofishist]

Okay. But that's a long ways from toasting smores.

[tamarakay]

tickets did not sell out until what? June? July? seems like enough time, even if it goes crazy fast... still at least a few months to get one at highest price for sure.

I had extendable roasting forks, marshmallows, hershey bars, and graham crackers in the trike basket on most evenings this year... never broke them out. even had wipes to clean up with. Seems like the perfect time never presented itself. ask me in 2012. er, someone Mdf? did mention s'mores right?

Dude! that's it, next year I am going to follow you around until you poke me with those daggone forks.

Heck, we can MAKE the moment right, right MDF!!!! Wednesday night s'mores popped into my pumpkin head and wouldn't get out. craved them all the rest of the week. I don't think that makes you a mcgyver sparklepony either. I think it makes you even more awesome than I already thought you were. mmmmmmm, chocolate!

YES! Yes we can. Wednesday Night Sunset S'mores, a new tradition.

[B the B]

Whatever. Is Camera Girl single?

[Sham]

Whatever. Is Camera Girl single?

I'm not sure. Why do you ask?

[bittermac]

I have no doubt that there will be a BM in 2012. But a response to a long email chain from an assistant, no matter how highly placed, is not an "Official Announcement".
Just saying.

[Nick Collide]

YES! Yes we can. Wednesday Night Sunset S'mores, a new tradition.

If you're going to start a tradition, start a good one:

(**Edit**) We're coming early for set-up, so that might be possible. Our meals will have a heavy infusion of bacon indeed....scones with bacon jam, bacon s'mores...bacon vodka bloody marys...bacon-studded waffles...

[The Hustler]

I love Camera Girl. She's a babe!

+1

Totally.

[The Hustler]

OK PLEASE don't tar and feather me for two reasons

1. We all know about feather and MOOP.


2. I personally am hoping they keep the Tier tickets going. This will be my first year. I'm a full time college student who works a full time job that only pays commission. I don't make jack. I am going to have to save every nickel I get to be able to afford to go in 2012. So I REALLY don't want to have to shell out almost $400 for a ticket that's a month of rent for me.. $210 is still to much but hell what can you do.

Any hooters. I wish they would let us know the theme. I want to start sewing my costumes and getting things figured out.

Don't sweat the theme and costumes. We started down that line last year, then switched to costumes to go with our theme camp (barbie death camp), we had a couple middle-aged barbie outfits, kinda fit the theme and the camp, but once there Ken (the stallion) ended up just LOVING sarong's and a pink cowboy hat, and none of the barbie stuff was loose enough to catch a breeze and I LOVED wearing loose flowie things that drifted around me in the breeze. So, just make comfy stuff, a tu-tu or two, and enjoy yourself. Most IMPORTANT, you will be riding a bike or walking around ALOT, don't costume yourself into not being mobile.

We started a jar, if we pay with cash ALL hard change goes to the jar, if we pay with debit then we get the minimum allowed cash back at that store and in the jar it goes. Adding up already.

I dressed to be in the desert and was comfortable. I might have sent more time than intended walking and riding around naked, but otherwise I was all comfort.

I didn't bother with a costume or anything elaborate. I have neither the inclination nor space for costumes. I just scratch by financially but I managed to go and this year may be the same. It's the best and wisest way to foolishly blow precious financial resources, but the return on your money is beyond description.

[The Hustler]

I still have playa dust (and beach sand) in the car.

I still have playa dust on my Camelbak and on two cameras.

I still have playa dust on a pair of Air Force sage green combat boots (people were grumpy, but some were amused when I wore them in uniform playafied.)

Wait, thread drift. What was the subject? Why am I typing this at 4:18 am?

[Roberto Dobbisano]

[The Hustler]

Precisely.

Stay tuned, all the information on tickets is being massaged into an official message. coming out soon. i don't know the exact dates from the ticket and communications teams... let me go poke me head in and see... Yep. All the info will be coming out in mid-November. We've got a staff retreat next week, so that is eating up some time, but early the week of the 14th you should see the info going out.

LOL @ U That is the SOS as everyday

EL OH EL UR KINDA CUTE YERSELF

[SlimPickens]

Frankly, regarding tickets, I'm glad to hear that they are taking the time to think it through, and would be more concerned had they not.

I'm a Burner from across the great pond (Belgium, if anyone can find it on the map) and have always had friends buy the tickets in SF, but this year I'm wondering if there's a way to buy them online in Europe.
And please, please, bring back Moonshine Saloon, camp cowboys and -girls rock!

You buy them online from the site using a credit card, and then have them held at Will Call.

(Belgium, if anyone can find it on the map)

(Sad to say that Belgium's flagrant turn towards an anarchistic model of non-government has meant that an army of gnomes with long legs and pointy noses have infiltrated every library, every bookstore, every household that has an atlas and erasing Belgium from every map.)
