IF they are numbering tickets in order of sale, I got ticket 1141 on 7/8/09.
OVER a thousand Freepers gathered in ONE PLACE??? Woo Boy, there will be some RAT ears burning that weekend!
More likely they started the numbering at 1000. 150 was what we expected at the first FR convention in Vegas years ago. Unfortunately, certain members of another FR group began a behind the scenes effort to make it fail (we still don’t know why) and urged people to not attend, we ended up with less than 100 and the event lost money (my money) and there never was another one due to that. We had planned on holding one every year if the first at least broke even but I couldn’t afford to underwrite it every year.
More flotsam and jetsam from FR’s colorful and sometimes sordid past.
