Sings ** "Its the final countdown!!"

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!

NOTE: Regarding registration PRE-REG badge pick up. I was told that they 'streamlined' the process. What does that mean exactly? Perhaps something better then last year's disaster, or perhaps something worse. All I know they're still doing the bar code system. I just hope all the bugs have been fixed. Anywhoo, registration opens on Thurs 10am. I will probably head there at 9am. I will be there for the next few hours. I'm guessing 9am to 12noon. Anyone who is already at the con by then can go to the Sheraton lower level where the line starts. Go inside and stage there. If the pre-reg line isn't too bad, then jump in! Remember, I may have a problem getting your badges. So again, no promises. Once you're there and you think you'll need my help, call me. BUT NOT ALL OF YOU! Perhaps you can gather in a small group and have one person try to contact me. I can then meet you guys and collect blue cards and/or ID's. Take a lesson from the Brits. They did an awesome job last year organizing in one place with passports and blue cards collected and ready to go! Then one group leader coordinated with me for the meet. I can't do all the work. So please try to meet me half way on this. Start organizing among yourselves and try to get larger groups together for meets. Its very difficult (and exhausting) for me to run back and forth to retrieve badges in piece-meal. Ok, ok... I know what you're thinking. What if some of you arrive later in the day. I will make another reg run probably about 5pm or so. But again, I ask you group up so make my life easier.
One more thing... I can do very little to help if you have a problem/dispute/error/mix-up or any other issue with D-con registration. I am only a badge gopher, not a D-Con registration staff employee. My troubleshooting power is at a minimum. So sorry for that in advance. It is up to YOU to verify you have no issues regarding registration. So if you insist you registered and paid for your badge but its not on record at the desk, and I can't locate your badge label. TOUGH! That is something you need to fix yourself.
Remember the 7 P's.
Poor Prior Planning Produces Piss Poor Performance.
Ok, so theres my guidance for the upcoming pre-reg horror. Operation Reg-Rerun should go as expected, I hope.


I am starting a new thread dedicated to estimated arrival times of all marines! PLEASE PUT YOUR ARRIVAL INFO THERE. We can then organize better hard times.
