Hi Volks,
Yes, there is a BOTC happening this year. 2010 thus far has been
insanely busy in my personal and professional life, but the TENTH ANNUAL
Buses Of the Corn will go on. Although I've been a bit preoccupied and
have not been quite as rigorous in my promotion as in past years, this
is a celebration I would not miss. You shouldn't miss it either.
THE DATE IS AUGUST 13, 14, 15. Same great location just North of Whitby
ON at the group camping area of Heber Down Conservation Area. Not quite
as early as usual but this actually makes the corn better as it will be
a bit more mature by then.
PREREGISTRATION ENDS JULY 30th. The $25 Weekend Preregistration payment
also includes a T-shirt, so be sure to send your size with your payment.
If you want extra shirts they will be $15 each. If you don't show up to
claim your shirt in person be warned that it may take a good long while
before they hit the mail. (Like I said above, I am crazy busy this
year). The design hasn't been formalized yet but it will include the
name of the event and a picture of a bus, printed in black on a plain
white Gildan/Fruit of the Loom Men's T. See the website for details or
e-mail me off-list if that doesn't work for you.
WHAT IF I DON'T PRE-REGISTER?
If you show up on the day of the event with your pockets bulging with
ca$h you will still be welcome but you won't get the free T-shirt and we
may not have a T-shirt in your size. Book ahead and you won't sit up at
night worrying about this. Don't you wish all life's decisions were that
simple?
THE DOWNSIDE:
The site is a little primitive. There is no power available and no
running water either. The vault toilets can be a bit stinky. We prefer
campers not bring a generator; try roughing it for a weekend instead.
Modern public restroom facilities are available at the Walmart within a
few minutes of the campsite however for those who need them.
WHY BOTHER, REALLY?
Well shucks, why do anything, really? In this case you can justify your
actions with the awesome Breakfast Burritos, the swap meet, the
unbeatable Tie-Dye workshop... Or maybe the Frisbee golf, the Bus
Driver's Challenge or the awesome campfire we always light up the night
with. Or blame your actions on the most excellentest pot luck dinner and
field-fresh corn roast you ever tasted.
WHERE IS YOUR ^%$# website?
The dotCom website is not mine any more. We are now hosting the site at:

HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE FOR THE TENTH ANNUAL CELEBRATION!!
