    Well, I travelled all the way from Portugal to Amsterdam 2 weeks ago. I was asleep today. At 11 AM, who rings the doorbell? A guy from FedEx.Went back in, with the envelope. When I woke up (went and fell asleep. Rough night, obviously) I opened the envelope.

    Last year I was one of the last people to get mine, to the point where I would have had to email them if it had waited one more day. This year, we bought ours the day they went on sale, so I am hoping it comes soon! Of course, since we bought ours together, it's going to my boyfriend's house, so I can't run outside and check my mail every hour. I kind of want to drive over to his house and camp out by his mailbox while he's at work, but I won't.

    It's awesome to see people getting theirs! It's already really exciting the closer we get to PAX, but having the badge in your hand makes it real!

    Got my buttons and two Netflix movies today, but no pass.

    P.S. I like how until more people have actually received their passes, this is pretty much a 'whadja get in the mail today' thread.

    Yup, another day with more bills and no passes :(

    Who knows, maybe I won't even get them like last year when I had to get them at the will call line even though them were supposed to be mailed to me.

    But I hope that doesn't happen this year.

    Just junk mail today. I have a feeling I will get my passes late next week since I bought single day passes.

    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."

    Is there a way that I can find out where my tickets are being sent? I recently moved and the post office is not sure how long it will take for my change of address form to catch everything; if I do not get my physical ticket due to the move can I get one at will call with my barcode and photo id?

    I hope they forward it quick. I believe they have said that you have to have your pass and that the print out just will not do by itself.

    Is there a mod or enforcer that could shed some definitive light on this??

    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.

    Ugh, then why don't I have mine yet? Obviously a sign of anti-South discrimination. Not that I can blame them (the passes); I wouldn't come here any faster than I had to, either. :(

    That said, it hasn't kept me from stalking the mail man every day. This was Tuesday morning, when I was leaving work to drive Brian to an appointment: http://twitpic.com/2fm2vf. Luckily, the property has had the same mailman for like, 7 years, so he's pretty good natured about being stalked for expected packages of any kind. And even if passes don't come tomorrow, I should be getting Think Geek shirts from UPS!

    No passes in DC yet so don't get too jealous of us East Coasters. I did, however, get a replacement hotplate today so I can eat something other than cereal and peanut butter & Nutella sandwiches.

    Yeah, I'm waiting for 2 grab bag shirts & a business card case (from GeekPoints).

    Mmm, Nutella.... skip the pb, though; can only eat that stuff with strawberry preserves. Nutella, though, I'll just eat from the jar if given the chance.

    I want to know how the guy in Sammamish got his already and what kind of favors did he have to perform on his mail carrier to get them! Our PO sucks, they like to hold on to our packages and forget them in the back room.

    Had to cut apart last years lanyard to steal a few of the letters. I'm a bit peeved that I didnt have a white Z so I could have white on the end. Whatever.

    Put last years saturday badge on it because it looks super omega lonely.

    He ordered as a group (which you can do if you have 10+ people). Group passes, as well as some international people who paid for it, are sent via FedEx. Many people receiving their passes through FedEx have already received them. The USPS, however, is much slower and it will take time for the passes to make their way from Connecticut to the rest of the country. Be patient, for your passes are forthcoming.

    Also, a note to "you know who you are", next time, don't announce the passes are in the mail until after at least two days of them being in the mail system.

    Hmm? The "you know who you are" bit was aimed at a particular person who works on PAX who handles the @Official_PAX Twitter feed. I know he reads the forums, and it was just a nudge to him to not get people's hopes up until the mail has time to process the badges.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    So yesterday I got my Jinx, Think Geek, and part of my Amazon order. No sign of my pass yet. Really hope it didn't get "Returned to Sender" on Monday. Can we get someone official to comment on what happens if you don't get your badge before PAX? I know someone asked before but I didn't see a response.
