If this looks familiar, that's because it is an edited version of fall's call for a PDF PONY (so sue me--I'm freakin lazy):


PONY UP! Since you're still feeling a bit of the glow from last weekend and you're just bursting with creativity, please apply to build the next PDF Pony. Our next Burn comes on Memorial Day weekend of 2010.


Maybe you were thinking we were flooded with applications to build the Pony over the years and you don't stand a chance-- well, THINK AGAIN! I've only gotten eight applications over the past seven burns. On the two occasions we didn't get applications, I had to beg and plead. (THANK YOU Ember and Monk-E)

Maybe you were thinking the organization doesn't spend all that much money or care much about the Pony-- well, THINK AGAIN! You can get a grant up to $700, and the Pony is the centerpiece of the Burn. Everyone cares and appreciates a good Pony.

If you have an idea, please fill out the info below and return it to me offlist at jillnado@hotmail.com before Dec 15 (can ya handle the deadline pressure, slacker??). Thank you!
