SS Satan's Sin Member Imperial Beach, CA Joined: Jun 13, 2004 Posts: 729	SS Satan's Sin Posted posted on Sat, Jul 24, 2004 9:23 AM This may be a very dumb question ... but I've looked over the website quite carefully and still can't figure out where it's taking place ... some place in LA, I assume? But where, exactly? Also -- how much? Registration page leaves the $ amount charmingly blank. I'm sure it's on there somewhere -- I often overlook things.

I am announcing **Special Friend Tickets **here and on Lotta Living for an extra $5 discount off the price. Regular early bird tix are $40 Late registration is $45 At the door - if they're still available - will be $50 BUT the special insider deal is $35 - I'm sorry i didn't give everyone much time on this, but i have been frantic putting this thing together and waiting for budget estimates from dozens of different people... As it stands - i am going on faith for alot of it... ANYWAYS... you must purchase before the end of this month... August 31, 2004 to get the 'special insider friend' offer PLUS, as an addded bonus, the first 100 people who sign up will receive a free copy of the next Atomic Ranch Magazine when they show up and get their wristbands... (Of course, there may be volunteer opportunities as well and those will be announced as the event gets closer.) OH, and every PAID ticket holder gets a commemorative SHAG 4 oz. shotglass!!! That alone is worth the price of admission... And of course there will be lots of participation from many T.C. members - which i will be announcing after i have spoken with everyone about their involvement. whew!

If you are on Otto's Tiki News list and get his mailings - you will be getting a card. But if not, here is where you can sign up online: http://www.cherrycapri.com/join.php
