Hello Jeff, I'm assisting with running and instructing this event and my two kids, ages 9 and 11, will be onsite. Let's get this event rolling and then work through the childcare details so that it works for all involved.

I'm getting ready for 2pm.  Here is the monthlyish i have written so far:

rmh ticket blitz; new movie combo


To get people tasted up for the rocket mass heater ticket blitz, we added the "Freaky Cheap Heat" movie to the "Free Heat" movie bundle.  "Free Heat" is the movie made from the last rocket mass heater jamboree.  8+ builds.   And "Freaky Cheap Heat" features 3 more.  And 7 plans.  And the rmh risers ebook!

https://freeheat.info


The blitz is on!   For 48 hours we will sell tickets.  We won't be making a movie this time, but it will be good to get together with rocket-keen peeps!  If you have never seen (or felt) a rocket mass heater in person, this could be the most visceral thing you do for many years.  It is a powerful thing to experience.

Good ehough?

"To get people tasted up for the rocket mass heater ticket blitz,"

Is this a typo, or just a phrase I'm not familiar with? Is it similar to whetting ones appetite perhaps?

Long ago, the mighty tick told me about how he was all tasted up for a BLT.   I savored his poetry.

October 5th - 9th still works, and in order of preference, Allerton Abbey, Red Cabin, or RMH Tipi, as I don't think I'd fit very well in a twin bunk.  I'm too tall for most of them.  I've sent email to bunks (at) richsoil . com and was awaiting a response/confirmation of what was available.

My wife said she'd prefer the next week instead, since there's no event going on the 5th-9th now.  I've paid the $300 (after recovering my dusty PayPal account), so you should have record of that soon, if not already.

I look forward to the adventure!
