ModProm / BMEfest are getting close!

I’ve got a lot of other things I have to do this upcoming week a so I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to do a ton of posting here on ModBlog (but watch the BME/encyclopedia and BME of course). That said, you know I can’t stop myself from posting so who knows…

I did want to again post about ModProm and BMEfest (July 1, 2007). The BBQ during the day is free, but if you’d like to come to the formal evening event (which is really the fun part in my opinion), you can get your ModProm ticket here (and you’ll get the shirt in the mail immediately). Tickets are first-come-first-serve — if you are getting a ticket but can’t do it in the next week or so, please write me! (Note: You do not need to be an IAM/BME member to come).

Oh, and since lots of people have asked me if they can get just the shirt, we’ve posted it as a limited edition “sponsor” shirt — click here for only the “Oddrey Hepburn” shirt (this helps support the event too, which is being run at a loss).

    Yay! I bought one. I’m a little bit more excited than I think I should be about a t-shirt. Thanks for making this available!

    Wish I could attend, but alas. So instead I purchased that sweet t-shirt. Can’t wait to wear it to work and annoy my co-workers with something they both will not understand AND which celebrates body modification.

    Thanks, Shannon!

    Milton78 – That’s Corrie from BMEshop!

    Valon – As long as you promise to keep your genitals covered inside the main event, will do 😉

  17. valon oddity Avatar

    wait……are you meaning main event as in the day time bmefest? or just modprom?

  18. Shannon Larratt Avatar

    Doesn’t bother me if you whip it out at the park, but if you get yourself busted before ModProm, not my problem!!!

    I actually had a few fun ideas on how we can do the thing you asked me about… Write me a reminder on IAM and I’ll tell you what I was thinking.

    okie, i will behave.

    How long will the shirts be available, do you know? I don’t get paid for another 2 weeks and I’d reallllllly like one!

    Is there an age requirement for modprom?

  22. Shannon Larratt Avatar

    Twiggy – I’m not sure; we may keep the shirts up for longer since people like them but I can’t promise it.

    Jenny – No age requirement but if you’re under 19 you can’t drink of course.

    Thank You Shannon! I seemed to remember in previous years you had to be 19 or 21 or something to even get into the venue? I’d really like to go but I don’t even know if I can get into Canada with out my parents as I’m just under 18. I do have a passport though!!
