On Sunday I ran into them at the store while I was getting some Burning Man supplies. "Hey, I got your email. Sorry to hear that. Since you're now funemployed, do you want to go to Burning Man?" "I don't think it's my thing." "Well, it might or might not be your thing. Go search the Internet for Burning Man and let me know in a couple days."
Monday I got an email. They're in for the adventure. "Come over to my house this evening. You can ask questions and we can talk logistics." And also some good ramen and Palisade peaches on us.
I emailed three people who'd posted about extra tickets on various lists. All three responded within two hours "Yup, still have tickets."
If your life situation allows you to suddenly decide that this is the year to go to Burning Man, I assure you that tickets are in plentiful supply right now. Tickets usually show up a week or two before the event as people realize they can't go, but this year seems to have an extra large glut.
Today a coworker asked me how packing was going. "I just started packing a second human."
