    I'm not sure what this says about me, but since I read the line "Bobcats are on the move!" the Thundercats song has been stuck in my head... so thanks for that... (Bobcats are on the move, Bobcats are loose! Feel the magic hear the roar, Bobcats are loose! bob-Bob-BOBcats, bob-Bob-BOBcats....)

    That rule actually hasn't applied recently, but the meme of calling our badges bobcats on the forum has stuck. SmallLady mentions this in her FAQ threads :)

    Anyone else think Thundercats when reading the title? The theme song played in my head. Ah, the memories (sorry, offtopic, but reminiscing seemed necessary).

    Just a warning, domestic (continental U.S. at least) probably won't get the same notice that international did (and status won't change on ShowClix). We'll just randomly get ours in the mail in the next 2 weeks.

    Also is anyone here getting their fluffy mountain lions via USPS Priority Mail?

    I think all continental U.S. received USPS Priority Mail as the only option (makes sense, they want to track it in case something happens and it lessens the handling time). I mean, bobcats need to get to you fast because they don't really have air holes.

    do we automatically get an email saying they've been shipped? I tried logging into showclix but it says I don't have an account on file even though I had to make one to purchase my badges?

    I got my e-mail this morning, Reed Expo sends them out automatically when they ship. Canadian also, maybe they are trying to send those out first to clear the border in a timely fashion? I think it's a sound practice. Because iiiiii've got a golden tiiiiiicket...

    Lol, thanks Initialdor, very stuck in my head now.

    They send out all international badges first. So anyone in Canada like myself and other regions of the world will receive them first.

    Cool, same date trend as last year so far. PA is consistent for once :D

    Since international is shipping right now, I'm going to guess the first wave of US badges will go out on Friday. Fellow Americans, start checking your mailboxes as soon as next Wednesday. Bobcats are coming to the mainland!

    Location means nothing, as usual. Bobcats are shipped in waves, and it's not location based. Your neighbor might get his or hers today, and you might not get yours for another couple weeks.

    After seeing this thread yesterday, this was my conversation with my fiance:
    Me: Bobcats or badges are going to start arriving in the mail...
    Him: WHICH ONE?!

  • krae_mankrae_man Registered User regular
    My bobcats renamed all the theatres:

    Hedgehog Theatre(Kraken last year)
    Sandworm Theatre(Pegasus/Wolfman last year)
    Sasquash Theatre(Pegasus/Wolfman last year)
    Sphinx Theatre(Serpent last year)
    Wombat Theatre(Raven last year)
    Wyvern Theatre(Unicorn last year)

    These crafty buggers want me to get lost and pounce while I'm looking at a map since I'll have no clue where I'm going.

    The theater renaming was done to actually make things easier on attendees, like was done at PAX East. The first letter of the theater tells you what building it's in ("H" = Hyatt, "S" = Sheraton, "W" = WSCC). The type of animal tells you which floor it's on (sea = below ground, land = ground floor, air = above ground floor).

    Is it PAX <insert nearest future PAX here> yet?
