*Hi! The Glowbe is a bulletin of time-sensitive or essential info about
Firefly. This briefing helps reduce traffic on the announce list - so
please read on for important event updates, we’ll keep it short and sweet.
The ticket lottery ended in April and many tickets were purchased. 1096
Fireflies have tickets.332 Fireflies are wait listed. 54 days until the
bug burns.Contents: 1) Transportation (for everyone but ticks) 2) Art &
Camp Placement - What's New, and How-To 3) Financial Assistance Ticket
successes so far ----- 1) Transportation for everyone (*but ticks) If you
are not a Firefly-native tick or a hawk: you probably need wheeled
transportation to get to the event. But our parking is v e r y limited --
so how do we fit everyone? The answers: * Firefly/Boston Bus * Ride
shares * Parking passes * Offsite overflow parking * Socialism. Most of
these require that YOU buy or plan a thing in advance. Socialism isn’t
really a ‘plan’; but it *is* a theme that ties together carpooling and bus
tickets and volunteering and luxury gay space communism. So reserve your
bus seat or buy a parking pass today! Get cracking:

Art & Camp Placement: How-To and What's New Changes are afoot since last
year! FestComm and Placement have updated the Art & Theme Camp Placement
policy. Here is what’s new - a) The "Returning Camps and Art" policy now
says that returning camps and art usually can use the space that they had
in the previous year -- not "in previous years." This means that if a camp
takes a year off, they may not be able to return to the space the following
year, for example, if another camp made good use of the space in the
meantime. (At Placement Sunday last year, there was a dispute between two
camps that had used the same space at different times, so this change was
made in part to easily resolve any such disputes in the future.)b) The
"Returning Camps and Art" policy now gives a specific example of why a
returning camp might have some or all of its space moved -- ensuring that
spots along the named paths have interactive spaces and art, and kitchens
or personal tents are placed elsewhere.c) The "Conflict Mediation" policy
now emphasizes that each placement representative must be prepared to make
a final decision at Placement Sunday about the placement of the camp (or
art project) they are representing. Occasionally if a dispute at Placement
is not resolved the discussion has been moved to email; however, it's hard
to make informed decisions when not at the physical site, so we want to
minimize these email discussions.Email
