From the 999 Eyes Ov Endless Dream National Affairs Desk

Greetings, my friends! We, The 999 Eyes Ov Endless Dream travelling cirkus and freakshow, have applied for a grant from the BORG2 organization, funding independent art at burning man this year - the grant money is being handed out on an electoral basis, making this a VERY IMPORTANT popularity contest for us.

It costs nothing to vote for us, but it means a nice chunk o change to us if we win, or even get close. All you have to do to sign up is go to the following website and sign up for the borg2 "BUllhorn" emailing list. Then you get your password, and keep up on the voting process which will take place before the end of the month!

It's kind of complicated - don't hesitate to ask for my guidance if you get confused.

Time is running out and we need your help on this one... to bring back the carnival sideshow and freakshow to life!!!

  • From the Desk of Noah Mickens, Ringmaster:

    This is it, Friends of 999 Eyes Ov Endless Dream (999eyes.tribe.net),
    today is your last chance to register to vote for this year's BORG2
    Grant.

    And this, in turn, will allow you to vote for our cirkus to receive this
    grant.

    Which will, in turn, put us in the running for as much as $5000 in
    tender succulent grant money for our Burning Man show.

    And of course, being as many fans and friends of the Wicked Geisha are members of our cirkus, our cirkus is also your cirkus.

    See instructions below, and thank you.

    5000. - N.

    VOTING REGISTRATION DEADLINE LOOMS

    A quick reminder.  Register by midnight TONIGHT (May 31st,
    2005) to
    participate in BORG2's upcoming art grant elections.  If you're
    getting
    this note in your email, and the sending address is
    <frankenspock at
    yepmail.net>, you're ALREADY REGISTERED.  No further action
    is
    necessary, and you will be sent further instructions when it
    comes time
    to actually vote (June 2-4).

    If you're reading this some other way -- on a website, post in
    tribe.net, excerpted in someone else's email -- you need to
    register by
    midnight tonight in order to participate.

    To sign up for the mailing list, follow these easy steps

    - Sign up here: saucer.spaceship.com/mailman...info/bep

    - You will receive a confirmation email at the address you used
    to
    subscribe to the mailing list

    - Click on the link in the message. Follow the insructions on the
    page
    to confirm your subscription

    Only after confirming your subscription will you be in the BORG2
    mailing list. Once you start receiving the Bullhorn, you are done.

    And now, a FAQ-in-miniature from the loquacious Kiko Amound:

    -Why do I need to sign up for the mailing list in order to vote?

    Two reasons, the most important of which is that we believe in
    informed
    voters; informed voters get (and hopefully read) the Bullhorn and
    know
    what's going on instead of just parachuting into the election and
    voting for whoever their friend/lover/neighbor/dealer/pet told them
    to
    vote for. The second reason is that we use the list for
    authenticating
    voters.

    -I joined the list but never received the list confirmation e-mail.
    What do I do?

    Check the e-mail you used for signing up for the mailing list.
    Make
    sure it is not being forwarded somewhere else. Also, check your
    spam
    folder, the confirmation e-mail could be there.


    -I receive the Bullhorn but don't get any e-mail. How come?

    Do you receive the Bullhorn through Tribe or E-mail? You need to
    be in
    the E-MAIL LIST, not Tribe. Also, check your spam folder for
    messages
    from "Frankenstein Jones" containing the title "BORG2 Bullhorn"

    Any further questions, please direct them to the email address
    below.
