For the record, I did NOT at any time camp out at Cascadia or take time off from my job to do so please, please do not email me or message me on facebook asking that question again!
I mean really, the satire was lost on SO many people even I was left incredulous at the gullibility of logical thinking people ! The whole thing started as a joke when people kept asking me what time to get to Cascadia for TRIBE's registration and I quipped that I was going to camp out to be first in line. The mania, insanity, fervor, anxiety and panic that the whole registration issue is/was causing was even driving me insane as I was faced with one question after the other as soon as I logged on to any medium of instant messaging not to mention the emails asking the same thing over and over; like I have said many times before it was the newbies perpetuating the hysteria.
My satirical response was the "Coming to you live from Cascadia *cough*" posting complete with staged photographs; did anyone believe Winnie the Pooh was actually in line for a costume as well? LOL. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that anyone would think that was true! All I was hoping for was people to laugh at the whole situation and lighten up, thinking TRIBE is not worth that much stress, there are other bands to consider especially if you have never even played with TRIBE.
For the record I am not some crazed, foaming at the mouth TRIBE psycho who would stand in line 3 days for a costume, nor do I endorse that anyone should go to those lengths either.Truth be told I won't even be going to Cascadia on Wednesday!!
Good luck to all who will be registering then!!

saucy u have to remember that people are panickin, a joke like that may make some people wonder if they should try the same thing..deperate situation=desperate mesaures..that is why people were taking you seriously.
lord! I was enjoying the skit stuueeppss! some people just dont get it, this reminds me of my boss, everytime we are in a meeting he keeps repeating the same thing over and over so i ask him why are you doing that we heard you the first time! he said you did but not everybody gets it the first time so he have to repeat it! so to people who thought the person laying on the ground sleeping and the people in line was true well boy I dunno lol, so saucy please don't stop it's fun and it does lighten up the situation.
at some point saucy, you will have to draw the line. yuo can only seek to educate and entertain those that get your humour and understand at least the most basics of 'tongue in cheek'.
you are not a primary school teacher.
(all that talk but to be honest, i in shock that it have such denseness around)
she not going cascadia on wednesday???
allyuh heard bit here first.
the reason she not going cascadia is because she not even playing in TRIBE. saucy's secret section is mirage front-line in elements!
yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
quiksilver i feel you seeing a mirage yes, lie flat and try not to get excited, it will all pass.
Oh Saucy that was so mean - Mean Girl--

Wow Yuh Serious Peopel Didnt Get it..??
Sheesh...Talk about BLONDE!
Kevianne can you imagine Cascadia after work on Wednesday?? Madness!! I still have nightmares from August 2005, not looking to repeat that this rounds!
I really don't want to believe that people REALLY thought you were camping out at Cascadia...so much for making light of a situation! steups
Saucy..Ditto with that yes. Mt friend was reminding me how i had my laptop with wireless outside on the pavement trying to help out some ppl i knew. This is after passing my money over the wall with plenty cut eye being directed at me. They announced angel fish and nylon pool sold out before my friend gave me the thumbs up and i almost fainted. I still get anxiety just thinking about it
People actually believed that you camped out @ Cascadia?! With the post title, AND the pics with Winnie and Tigger?!
Noooo, say it ain't so!!! Can't believe people didn't catch the tone of that post, geez.
Good Luck with registration this week people!
But I brought coffee..... no wonder I couldn't find you.
LOL!
Saucy, no one believes that you were really camped out. They are just pulling your leg, girl.
(hopefully)
