That'd probably be Alaundo. I'll note also that the language protection software built into the Forum software is quite strict!  |

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

| Haven't got my yet, though I am supposed to get reimbursed for it anyway because I'm running a Goodman Games tournament for one of my upcoming projects. |

Badge and event tickets (Spin a Yarn, Secrets of FR, some others) in hand--well, on desk--now, so you can all breathe just a bit easier.
Huzzah! |

Now I'm nervous because Brian and I both live in NYC. But maybe mine will be in the box when I get home today. |

Last year, they said that I couldn't get badges sent to me in Australia.
I picked it up at the CON and it took all of 3 minutes ...

| Mine came yesterday. They sent it to my folks address (where I used to be living), so they forwarded it to me. I wish they would include the plastic laminaty thing and laniard with it, but I guess I can get one of those at the Con itself. |

Yeah, I would email GenCon Sage and see if that is what is needed. The nifty thing is: A real person will respond!!! |

Aye, I recall you telling me about that. When I contacted Gen Con earlier this month though, they said they could send the passes via registered mail if I paid a little extra for shipping. Which I did, I think. |

I've emailed them again this morning. Hopefully I'll have some answers either this day or the next. |

Indeed. Who's going to waste your time now while they tap out a huge post-FR seminar C-Keep post?
I'll be there in spirit guys.

One piece of good news... Gen Con can confirm they did send my pass via registered mail.
I guess I've got more of the waiting game to play.  |
