2012 Ticket Scorekeeping Thread

I love you guys!

[wh..sh]

Because, who are we kidding! Everyone likes a perfect love story (or not)

[catinthefunnyhat]

wh..sh! Shame on you. Have you no soul?

They saw the energy in each other's dance, and they locked eyes across the crowd. Then they locked lips. It was love at first fondle.

Clearly, the universe wants them to be together. Clearly, the universe wants them to be at Burning Man.

[Eric]

Never trust anyone you meet while locking eyes & dancing. Anything done while dancing in inherently untrustworthy.





Locking eyes over a fire-pit is another story...

[wh..sh]

wh..sh! Shame on you. Have you no soul?

*pout* When i was young, I might have sold my soul for something trivial like extra playtime at the park

Maybe you did.

There are far more embarrassing things to have sold your soul for!

I confess that that was so full of treacle that my arteries hardened when that was merely on the screen.
When I beg for tickets:

There I was, mindless meaningless sex; off the cuff hedonism; careless moments; no spiritual moments; no deeper connections made; yelling at people at the burns because I hate crowds; not even drinking a lot...
Obviously I missed something, gimme a ticket so I can do it right.

[Elderberry]

Treacle. I just learned a new word.

[theCryptofishist]

Just as actual dormice are famous for their long hibernation period (the name itself is a composition of "dormant" and "mouse"), this Dormouse is characterized by a slow and sleepy demeanor. He sits between the Mad Hatter and the March Hare during the tea-party scene in Chapter 7, and the duo often use the poor beast as a cushion or armrest whenever he falls into a doze. When he is awake, he tells Alice a strange story about three sisters who live in a treacle well and draw pictures of things beginning with the letter M, including mousetraps, memory and muchness. The Dormouse later appears amongst the audience for the Knave of Hearts' trial in Chapter 11.[1]

And speaking of mindless, meaningless sex and things that lock on the playa...

Mr. "Free Ticket to the Right Girl (as determined by looking at a photo)" seems to have found himself a candidate. A clever lass, at that: She posted her email address right in the thread.

[Elderberry]

Her one and only post.

[theCryptofishist]

troll?

Or just pulling something on him?

Or exactly what it appears to be?

[Elderberry]

Don't know, but thought it was cute that someone warned her about posting her email address. Like she'll care.

[Savannah]

Naw, she cared.

I have unravelled the knot.

[catinthefunnyhat]

Thanks to Rice for saying something to her, and to Savannah for helping her out.

[Elderberry]

Naw, she cared.

I have unravelled the knot.

If that means what I think it means...then just how is a guy supposed to get laid around here? Geez, let the new meat fend for themselves.

[wh..sh]

Because, who are we kidding! Everyone likes a perfect love story (or not)

I told you so! Love stories sell...

"My best friend and I, whom I consider my celestial brother, have recently reached an enlightening point in our lives, and all signs point towards burning man to give us the final answers."

Holy crap - they are not really brothers, don't care if they only get one ticket, and are willing to pay over the ticket price.

Damnit, all these years and I am just now finding out that burning man has the final answers?????

[trilobyte]

I'm a bit puzzled by the guy sitting on several RV reservations. What he's offering seems to suggest that he hoarded up a bunch of RV reservations (which carries some financial risk, those companies usually have cancellation fees), presumably to sell or trade for profit? I suppose RV scalpers were inevitable - could have been going on for years, this is the first time I noticed.

[Elderberry]

Oh my. Here's a reverse scalping offer. (is there even such a thing as reverse scalping?) http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic. ... 92&t=55790

Didn't find any answers, but the questions were wonderful!

WTF does

You've come this far to read this post, so now you should realize your calling

mean, anyway? Is this like realizing that you have a vocation for the priesthood? Oh, my calling is to give him a ticket? Isn't that kind of a pathetic life? "Oh, I had a happy marriage, went to the burn, raised children, fought evil, but what really makes my life worthwhile is giving this guy and his celestial brother a ticket."

ROFL!!

I am really trying hard not to snark because you know... every time I snark, I piss off some baby angels.

[theCryptofishist]

Pah! Baby angels! they don't even have sharp teeth yet. And you can catch them under a drinking glass!

[catinthefunnyhat]

I am curious about the new kid. His weirdness is ticketing-related, so I posed some questions about him here. But I decided to gossip about him in Da Bar, instead. Apologies for the cross-posting.

[AntiM]

New kid's profile:

Username:Bruce Ortiz
Location:United States
Age:29
Occupation:Online Buying and selling of Sports Tickets, Concert Tickets and Theater Tickets
Interests:Sports and other events belong to the feature of E selling of tickets.

Oddly specific, no?

[catinthefunnyhat]

Pitchforks and torches, then?

Nevermind the reverse scalping.... isn't his email address (with the explicit mention of a wish to fashion playawear in his post) a blatant commercial plug?

[AntiM]

Pitchforks and torches, then?

Not at all. He's been sent to the cornfield.
