I pretty clearly stated that it wasn't an open invite, in the very first post, but you apparently have a hard time with reading comprehension. The insults will get you nowhere. I did more than 2 decades in government-issued uniforms, and I'm QUITE confident that I have accomplished more in my life than any random a$shead on the street. I never, every worried about posers in "Target bought fatigues," and I don't do anything to "feel badass." I AM Badass, and I spent a giant portion of my adult life practicing it, honing it, and perfecting it.
You need to understand something. I don't know you, and if you knocked on my door right now, I'm not just inviting you right into my house.
Literally, that's what this is - the people that are coming to this shoot, have been to my house, where I live, my residence. The Compound. The people that have been to this shoot in the past, have traveled in early, from across this country, and sometimes left late - and they stay in my house those additional days. They are not "houseguests," and I wouldn't even call them "friends." They are FAMILY. We have met each others wives, kids, pets... We have called each other with troubles in the past, to seek possible solutions to get out of it, or just to bitch about it. There's not one person coming to this event that I wouldn't step in front of to take a bullet, just to protect them, if it came to that. I would risk my own death to protect them against some a$shole trying to do them harm - and that goes for their families, too.
This event announcement isn't some invitation for any random stranger to read something on the internet and feel welcomed into joining into what is basically a large family reunion. Would you do that? - see signs for a family reunion at a park, and just walk up and feel free to eat what they have laid out, drink what they offer, and sit at their tables?...
This event announcement is just a public way to capture the events of this large familiy reunion. It's not free tickets to anyone that just wants to show up,any stranger off the street. Does THAT make sense to you? Because you seem all fucking butthurt about it.
