“The dog ate my homework, err, delayed my mesh ticket purchase”

By mesh news

So we are out of tickets. Completely full. As in the-place-has-no-more-chairs-and-we’d-have-to-rent full. As in the-fire-marshall-is-this-close-to-calling-me-at-home full.

Yes, I know that a lot of times Sold Out might not mean Sold Out (we all know of those lucky slobs who snagged the perfect seat to some concert the day before because extras magically appeared. Heck, it’s happened to me). And yes, most of you are a plucky bunch, so asking anyway likely seems like the right call. But, alas, this is not one of those times.

We are just plum sold out.

We really don’t have some hidden stash still left to sell to the best storyteller (although, come to think of it, that might be fun next year). Asking us to hook you up – even nicely – won’t change that. And, yes, you are right, some people won’t show…but we actually baked some assumptions around that into how many we decided to sell this year after getting some experience last year. All high tech, like the airlines 😉 So no wiggle room there, either.

We do appreciate your desire to come to mesh. We are humbled by it in fact. I mean, the five of us are all still blown away by how far we’ve come since sitting at The Paddock a little more than a year-and-a-half ago spinning up the idea of the mesh The First.

But, despite that, sadly, we really can’t oblige.

mesh is Sold Out!

By mesh news

With just over a week to go before mesh, the last ticket has been sold. It’s amazing to see such an enthusiastic response from the community. To steal a line from Ed Sullivan, we looking forward to putting on a “really big show”. Look for some more mesh announcements about social events and the 15 Minutes of Fame presenters over the next few days.
