What is a Party Scholarship?

bianca called all of us trolls in one day, and she told us what the new party was going to be about.
She said it's going to be a special, high class affair, and it's going to be a fund-raiser for our shack
at Burning Man '98.  We'll call it:



FOREPLAYA!




we all applauded, cuz it was a really good idea



"But," she continued, "we can't have as many guests at this party and we need to charge (because it's a
fund-raiser).  And that bothers me.  As you all know, I love Everyone," 
[We all nodded, because as everyone
knows, bianca loves Everyone] 
"but we won't have room for Everyone at the party.  And those who I love
shouldn't be judged by whether they can afford a ticket or not.  If anything, those who I love should be
judged by how well they can party."


a murmur began amongst the trolls, until one amongst us shouted--"how can we know who parties
well, when we don't even know what it truly means

to party?"




Quoth bianca:  "We will have party scholarships.  Whosoever can prove their partying skills, and therefore their contribution to the fun-lovin' soul of our party, who will selflessly share their enjoyment they will be welcomed.  
We will admit them free to our party and
we will ask them to show us their partying skill that we may learn from them.  Their evidence can be
in any form--video or audio tape, written form, web page, photograph, diorama, any medium in which they
can communicate their partying prowess will be considered."


"But what do they get just for entering?"



"Just for entering they will receive a commemorative certificate suitable for framing or leaving around
the living room so that telephone messages may be written on the back.  It will be a really cool certificate.

If they are selected to receive one of the 40 or so scholarships, they will receive an even Cooler
certificate, and they will get a special Foreplaya Party ticket (sort of like the ones in the Willy Wonka
movie).  If their partying skill as shown is something performative (musical, rhythmical, humorous
or otherwise), then we'll ask them to perform at the Foreplaya party."
