PAX Badges Fun Time Thread

edited September 2010 in PAX Archive
Post your excitement and happiness about the fact that your badge has arrived! They said they're in the mail and it's only a matter of a few business days until they arrive. Post your nerdy pictures with your badges, or your disappointment of having to wait longer because you live in a place far far away.

My thoughts: "IT'S HEREZORZ!"

    I'm waiting for mine. Day 4. If they had feet and started walking 4 days ago I'd have them now. (I live 6 hours from seattle).

    I'm 30 minutes south of Seattle and still haven't received mine, so hopefully that puts things in perspective. Keep checking my mail like a kid at Xmas though, waiting for them to show up!!!!

    I know how you feel. I'm 30 minutes north of seattle. Only bad thing is that the mail here is random, it is sorta like a game show, guessing what time it will arrive.

    I was driving some out-of-towner friends around, and I kept complaining about being blinded. They responded with "You see, where we come from, people tend to wear Sunglasses." I retorted with a simple "You people tend to have sun."

    I'm 30 minutes east of Seattle and keep watching. Our post office out here sucks in a major way, hoping they decide to work a little once it cools off a bit and maybe we'll get our mail!

    Uh guys, in case you forgot, badges are mailed out from the east coast now (where Reed HQ is), so people on the east end of the country should be getting these first.

    I was wondering about that. Considering I live a 5 min walk from the Convention Center (therefore about a 30 min walk to PA HQ), I was worried my packet got lost in the mail.

    Oh, the agony of anticipation!

    I'm afraid my badge might have been returned to sender. For the past few weeks I hadn't been receiving my mail because my mailman thought I had moved and has been returning my mail to sender. I finally started getting my mail again today but it sounds like my badge might have been returned Monday. Anyone else from Indiana gotten their badge yet?

    Ya, I saw that. It makes me feel a little uneasy to see so many badges in one place. It's like he is intercepting all the badges and keeping them for himself D: *. I will feel better when I SEE others getting their badges.


    *I know he is the leader of some group and he simply bought all his group members badges :P

    I didn't know they were posting them to anyone outside the US. I'll have to alter my International Travellers Guide!
