Hmm... I seem to have misplaced my signature...
After time adrift among open stars
Among tides of light and to shoals of dust
I will return to where I began

Don't forget to carry them once you have them. Somepony still owes me a beer.

I'd like to thank everyone that is willing to do Will Call. We've got 6 volunteers good to go on that, and they'll be working out ways to hand off fully half of the coins. That makes shipping a lot less of a burden. Thanks go out to all of you wonderful people!
Eric sent me some pics of a finished coin that he took really quick at my request. I wanted to put this out ASAP so that you can all see how well they turned out. When they're cleaned up and finished, you can see that there is great contrast between the elements, and it should have no problem making a big impact. Just note that coins are pretty hard to photograph, so it will definitely look better in person than it does in any photo.

The biggest problem is the differences in elevation. Since the coins are 3d and the pictures are 2d, you don't see the contrast between 2 points which are close. Light, which is normally very important to get a good picture, tends to shine off the coin making it hard to see fine details. Pictures of colored 2d coins are pretty accurate, but these 3d coins really have to be seen in person. Anyone who has gotten any of the coins before will definitely tell you that the pics can look great, but once you have them in your hand, they're amazing.

I'll work on getting invoices out tomorrow. The coins will be $5 each, and shipping will be $6 for those who requested their coins be mailed to them. If anyone wishes to change their order from Mail to Will Call, they are free to do so up to the point where I actually mail the coins. Will Call does not need to pay any shipping. I'm going to mail 6 Will Call volunteers now, and they will be setting up a schedule and meet up points to pick up coins. Keep in mind that you will need some kind of ID to pick up your coins. If you do not have ID, mail me and we will work out an alternative so we can make sure that nobody else can take your coins. I'll also work out something where you can choose to give permission for a phone number and/or hotel to be given to the Will Call volunteers in case they need to contact you because they still have your coins. The volunteers mostly live in MA, so several of them are available to meet up before and after PAX at various events to give you your coins.
The Will Call volunteers are:

Things I can imagine that some people might have to use are school IDs, military IDs, passports...

The last thing we need is coin thieves. I doubt it would happen, but it's good to be careful.

I'm still getting two coins either way, but I'm hoping this year's coin doesn't do the same.

Thanks. This is my first Pax East. So, I'm a bit over enthusiastic.
