Answers to some Breakfast of Champions questions 3
Hello Friendly Person:
Glad you’re all sounding as excited for tomorrow as we all are—and you’re also asking some questions that I’ll try to answer.
Fake Person I made up so I can write an answer asked
Can I bring in a back pack?
The venue has asked people NOT to bring backpacks. We’re hoping this won’t mean they won’t let any backpacks in, but we’re not 100% certain what the deal is with this. First it was okay, but as of last night we were hearing it wasn’t. Best advice is AVOID BRINGING A BACKPACK. The bare minimum is that the bag will have to be searched thoroughly, and that will slow down everyone’s entry into the event.

Can’t wait for BOC! Do you think it’ll be cool if we bring in a camel bak of H2O?
The venue has asked us to refrain from bringing any sort of liquid containers. I know, it’s a bummer, but they also said they’d have cups that can be reused for water, etc. Not the greenest answer, but (and I have a feeling we’ll all be saying this a lot) this is our first BoC with Kelly’s and we’re going to have some kinks to work out.
LoneSole asked
No fluids , like at the airports? Are they worried about a terrorist attack?
I don’t think so. But now I am. Thanks for freaking me out! :P
PaddyO’Furniture asked What if you can’t stop dancing?
The DJs are counting on that, Paddy!
CdubsG asked

Got me. & us either!
kevin pescadorr asked
i can’t wait! i’m stoked theres more room to dance this year…! it says i need prior permission to bring my drum (medium size hand drum). i’m in a samba band, i don’t suck or let everybody go bongo fury on my drum…can i please bring my drum? i’m kevin dorn on the pre-sale list. thanks in advance!
A hand-sized drum should be fine. Larger drums, the kind you can hide a body in, those are another matter.
Rajter asked
Hey can we buy advanced tickets at any neighbourhood record stores or is it only online or at the door ?
Just online or at the door. But the price for each is the same. No gouging here, it’s $10 wherever you get your ticket.
hoop monster asked
Is it hoop dance friendly?
It is. And it isn’t. Here’s the challenge. We’ve got a lot of people coming to this party, and we’ve got a finite amount of space. So you’re welcome to bring your hoops, but whether you’ll be able to find enough room to use or not is another matter.

Will the security be as big of assholes as they were at the Nexus party? They were total jerks. Please speak with them, as they totally screwed with the party vibe.

Not sure about the Nexus party. But we did tell the Kelly's folks that the BoC crowd doesn't make trouble and shouldn't be treated as anything other than welcome guests. We'll be in contact with them at the event, and if we see interactions that are out of line we'll definitely ask them to adjust.

GREAT B of C this year! Time flew! I LOST MY IPHONE while dancing with wild abandon to Kramer! My purse flew open and my trusty and beloved iphone flew out! It's locked and completely useless to any one who tries to use it. I think the battery is now dead but if charges, my contact info and plea for safe return should appear on teh screen. It has a rugged black case on it. PLease oh please say you have it! I am lost without it (sort of! I would have to be spiritually bereft to be truly lost, but YOU know what mean, dontcha??!!) laurieagee@me.com 415-970-0663 (trusty land line)
