Woo hoo!! Now can I go back to sleep?

Done! good luck to anyone looking for the other 55 spots!

hehehe I edited at the same time you added that Grant

... tried to post a minute ago and I don't think it worked, so, again: fuuuck, there were shirts? I did not know this and didn't decide beforehand so I panicked and just ordered one of them for every ticket I was getting, hope that was the right choice. Lol.

There is an email too. Maybe a ghost in the machine ate yours

Many thanks for all your work on this, Mrs. P!!!

YAY CAMP!!!! 💜💜💜💜💜

Email came too, I guess it just got hung up in the ether.  The link here didn't work but cut and paste did so all is good.

That went fast!

Are any of us surprised?  No  ;-)

I don't think I'm going sadly.   Did a reality check of how I have felt after the previous ones, and as much as I really love these events, the logistics and cost and exhaustion after isn't worth it while I live where I live.  :(

Have fun everyone!

Aww this makes me sad. I was hoping we'd see you again. But I get it on the exhaustion. I really get it on teh exhaustion. So much frenetic energy!

Folkses, we have 66 spots spoken for, which means nine more available MAX. Payment instructions will come out in the next couple days, and then... we put the tractor in gear, shove the plow in the ground and till that row to the end.

It would have been fun to meetup with you again IRL :(.  I'm always dreaming of another trip to far north Canada, but as you say its expensive and I have some budget limitations.

So excited!  Planning to attend, and Mr. Embok is coming with me!

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE! CAMMMP!

WHEEE!!!! You are coming all the way from California!

YAY!

Well folks, we have 71 tickets sold for camp, so it looks like this thing is for real now. A few stragglers came in yesterday, but most of the tickets sold in day one. Every time this happens, I am honoured that everyone loves camp so much. I hope we meet you expectations once again.

If a few more people sign in that will be OK, but also we are limited by the number of available rooms, so next it's a race to book rooms and find roomies. Being that there are only 50 rooms blocked off, and that you can cancel rooms if needed, I suggest at least getting a hold on one quickly. You can sort out room mates afterwards.

Watch for payment instructions from Momma. She'll steer your ship through that, and then, its on us to pull the magic together for September. Thanks for being awesome everyone!

The instructions for booking rooms haven't gone out yet, have they?

It’s a marathon!

Thanks to the prompt payment crowd! We are now 25% paid! Watch for an invitation to the private planning forum and private Facebook page later this weekend.  I'm away from home right now, but will make sure you are added when I get back. Likely late tomorrow or Monday.

Exciting! Looking forward to it! Hope I will be able to get a couple extra invites to the private forum/page for folks I am traveling with.

I was told it’s inappropriate to publicly allow my catholic guilt re:swag to impinge on other’s good time and bonhomie. Apologies. Apparently I’ll be experiencing a 10 minute ‘penalty’ due to my Eyore nature. Seems a bit harsh, but I guess this is what happens when you give a Fish some small power.

Damn! I was just about to agree with you, but wanted to get to the end of the thread first. Don't know whose toes were stepped on, but I take the same dim view of swag as you do/did. Ten minutes was far too harsh, IMO. Glad your bunk was secured after the too-long TO.

I'm sad I won't be able to make the pilgrimage to CM*TO 2022, but I have a big Thing that does good in my community, so I'm stuck stateside. DH and I plan to hop in the rig as soon as Thing is finished at approximately 1400 hours on 8 October, 2022. We will make the butt-numbingly long drive to Moab, hoping to arrive late on 9 October 2022. Therein we will be regaled with tales and yarns of what we missed (boo-hoo). I hope to live vicariously through Ninetyfour and the Emboks Oh, and I expect there will be some fishy tales, and a few upside-downers as well.

Hope everyone has a blast!

Its been forever, but we are poking our heads out from under our rock to say "Hi!" and that we can't wait to see you all in Canada!

Hi CSW and CS hubs!  So excited to hear you're coming!!!!

That's great Fish!
And once you've paid, go over to the secret subform and introduce yourselves!  I "Cannot Wait!" to see who all is coming...

Hey Fishy, recently, someone made a snarky response to your perfectly legitimate question (elsewhere, not on this thread) and I struggled to respond civilly. What I wanted to say is "Do you know who the fuck you're talking to???

Thank you for all the work to make this amazing thing happen. You are changing lives, man Fish!

Awwwww - thanks!

Honestly, that person wasn't altogether off base. A big part of why I run this event each year is in the hopes that I figure out what the hell I'm doing. Someday it will all come together.

They may not have been altogether off base, but they were dick-ish not polite about it, which you absolutely did not deserve. Anyone should be able to ask a legitimate question without ridicule or derision. We have plenty of threads that could be answered with a few clicks, but that doesn't always get you the Mustachian take on things.

No matter how many posts one may have, that doesn’t make any of us an expert on everything mustachios or financial.  Not to mention the always present gap between theory and practice.  That comment was dickish, dickfully dickish.  And no answer, so no proof they knew the answer either.

Hahaha! Shield your eyes if you do not wish to be disillusioned: I have almost 19k posts. I don't buy individual stocks. I pay for the services of a CPA and a Financial Planner. I know enough to be helpful on some topics, but I sure as hell don't know everything about a *LOT* of things. There's no correlation between post count and depth (or breadth) of knowledge. I do admire people who are willing to help others and are in turn, not afraid to ask for help. And people who orchestrate big meetups get a special place in the MMM Pantheon of All-Stars, which I believe is our version of Heaven.

Oh, and I am FIRE'd as hell and have been for almost a decade, so I must be doing something right, lol.

Another great camp, thank you Mr and Mrs Halibut. Your hard work is much appreciated 😁😁😁
