BNAT 11 Application

Hey folks, Harry here…

Welcome to the BNAT1138 Application Page, many of you will attempt to attend.   Some of you will succeed.   Many of you will not.   This isn’t because I do not wish you to attend, but because Butt-Numb-A-Thon is an exceedingly tight squeeze.

This year’s “theme” is based upon THX 1138, because it is the Eleventh BNAT – and Friday, December 11th – I turn 38.   I figure the geek gods were trying to tell me something, so I should go with it.

As a result, your photo will require you to be BALD.   It needs to be as straight on as you can get it.   Now I know, you’re not guaranteed to get in, so how do I expect you to shave your head?   I don’t.   That said, I do expect your photo to have NO HAIR on your scalp.  This can be achieved however you wish, you can shave your head, you can use a baldcap, a shower cap, a matte with a painting, a skullcap, photoshop… whatever, just no hair on the top of your head.   Will shaving your head guarantee admittance?   No, nothing will guarantee your attendence.   But if you don’t, you won’t – and there are the questions you must answer, they count every bit as much.

This year, with the exception of the Minneapolis and Atlanta “crews” – BNAT will be limited to Groups of 2 people max.   This is to cut down on the LARGE GROUPS that eat up too many seats – and keeps the chances for new blood from getting to take part.

Everybody must fill out an application.   Yes, your wife, husband, significant other, buddy – must apply as well.

Sorry, we are no longer taking applications for BNAT 11.
