So fancy.  

Maybe if we tell folks that the giant grape arbor is actually a timberframe goalpost, we can convince some footballers to snatch the last few tickets and come scrimmage in Far Arakis.  

    30 minutes left!

I gotta head down for lunch (the skip event is happening right now) so I guess I will leave the ticket links up until i get back.

We are so close to an amazing event! Lets get this crossed the finish line!

I saw the baby grape plants growing at the base of the grape arbor!   They look so healthy and happy in their raised bed, rock enclosure with lots of good mulch!

So exciting to see new life and the future coming on strong!

Time is up!

It looks like we will be doing neither event.  

Thanks to those that put up coin!  I will be processing refunds this afternoon.

Total sold so far

first two weeks: 20

third week: 16

One more sale for all three weeks squeaked in at the last second.  So the final count was

first two weeks: 21

third week: 17

I’m crushed.
We were right there.

I cannot imagine the amount of work you put in for this, Paul.
Thank you again for your years of work to facilitate these events.

If there’s even a glimmer of a chance of extending this deadline, here’s a plea from someone who thoroughly loved coming and is actively trying to recruit more people to come and infect more brains.

Well ...  yesterday I found out that our server is stressed and ...  the short version is that we need to get a new server ...   so I need to step away from this and move to the next chapter ....

Jessie and I are deeply disappointed, but will be looking for additional ways to remain engaged with permies and Wheaton Labs. (Note that we bought tickets for both 2025 PTJ events, before the discounted 3-week tickets were offered.)

See all you current residents of Base Camp and Wheaton Labs within the next three weeks. We plan to work on both sprucing up Ama-Zheng Dogstar and the Bark Park. Will post when we have dates for our next stay.

I think all the paypal peeps have now been refunded (despite some serious paypal bugs)

and now the only stripe person has been refunded.

all done!

Love the energy, as always, Holly!!

Maybe 2025 transitions more into the SEPPer Theme Week space.

Bark Park Week
Rocket Week
Bodger Week
Mycelium Week
And, of course, Sepp Holzer Root Cellar Week (or two or six)

Looking forward to seeing all you lovely people again!

Good idea, Clay, and very glad you bought tickets to help bring the 2025 PTJ to fruition

Clay & Holly, I am gutted too.  I really thought we were gonna make it.  Maybe we'll do better in 2026.

Hmmmmm.  Maybe I can convince Alan Booker to come back for a PDC in 2025, and we can do a sort of every-other-year, pdc/ptj flip-flop.  Not sure if Paul can afford to do a PDC ticket blitz under the same parameters, and we may need to move more than 24 tickets for Alan to agree . . .

Beau, I love that you and Clay have ideas for additional ways to keep alive the forward thrust we experienced at this year's PTJ. Keep us posted, and we will do what we can to keep the conversation alive.

By the last days of this year's PTJ, the thrill of seeing the walls of the root cellar stand, the satisfaction of eating pizza baked in the rocket mass oven, the sweet birdsong around the soil-capped humus well, and the friendships made became powerful inducements to continue contributing. Even those who couldn't commit money or time this far ahead of next summer don't want to miss out.

I feel fortunate to be able to plan to return this summer. Jessie and I are looking forward to continuing work on the dog park fencing and the paths around it and Dogstar. Not everyone has this luxury. I haven't in previous years.

Although for me, I couldn't buy tickets this year because I can't get away during that time, I would have absolutely *loved* to go to the PTJ with the kid support. It sounds phenomenal. I'm keeping my eyes out and if it's in the stars to try to happen again, I will do my best to get the schedule lined up in time to be free for it.

OOO!!! Did someone say Alan Booker PDC???  I've already told Paul, but here I will do it publicly as well.  I REALLY want to take a PDC from Alan.  If you can convince him to offer one again, I will be there.

Agreed!  

Matt, do you want to start a new thread about the possibility of a 2025 Alan Booker PDC?  I think if we can get 30 people to comment with "I will buy a ticket," I will feel confident making the pitch to Alan.  

I will buy tickets for Jessie and me to an Alan Booker PDC, with expectation it would be offered through Permies at Wheaton Labs Montana Base Camp. Great idea, Beau. Wonderful comment, Matt.

So glad someone rolled the ball this way. Where was my brain before today? Oh, yeah, preoccupied with all those mundane tasks right here in front of me.

Here is the link (https://permies.com/p/2537526) to the post that you requested, Beau.  I'm not sure if this is the right forum for it or not, but I figured the awesome staff can sort that out if necessary.
