People used to ask me all the time, "what will happen when the Sixers aren't in the lottery anymore? Will there still be a lottery party?"
I would always respond the same way, and say "there will always be a lottery party."
Part of me couldn't ever imagine giving up this giant party full of weirdos that was so central to everything we did. The other part of me probably figured they'd always be in the lottery anyway.
PRESALE AND ONSALE LINK - PROMO CODE "REBEL"
We've come a long way.
When we talked about what the last one should be like, we just decided it should be as weird as possible, with as much time for us all to hang out together as possible. I will likely get pretty emotional toward the end. The fact that all of us come together, thousands of us, on one day, for essentially nothing and raise thousands and thousands of dollars for our charities is amazing and a gift.
I'm kind of sad that it's ending, but I'm really excited for the last one. There are so many of us that I recognize at every event, and I want this room to be a room full of those faces. Also, we're going to get the #1 pick.
The pre-sale starts at 10am tomorrow. I want you to get the tickets before the normies do, so if you miss out on the presale, make sure you get them during the onsale on Friday at the same time. The presale password is REBEL because everything's about me.
Thanks for everything.

Pictures with the Hinkie Banner, a cardboard cutout of Boban Marjanovich, pictures with Rebel, a real AU’s corner, and we’ll raise a banner of us raising the banner (this is really going to happen). The Paul Green Rock Academy band will play! Also, so many sweaty hugs and cell phone pictures.
