Woot! Got my PAX badge today! (First?)

Edit: If you attend all of the events and get your card stamped, apparently you'll be entered into an onstage drawing to be the first Omeganaut of 2008!

That's one way to make sure that people attend the Omegathon. Probably not worth it, though... You guys should probably just not bother. I certainly won't... Nope... >_>
AH okay thanks, looks like i nhave a wait
such as the yellow star that meant you were a pre registee embedded smack dab in the middle of the badge is missing and uh... less text I guess..... that's....all.....but how will they know we're the awesome pre registers instead of the normal 3 day passers! OH DEAR THE DILEMMA!!!
WHAT DOES THIS MEAAAAAN!!!!!!!
same here. I registered for BYOC, got my badge today, but no mention anywhere about it.
not in the letter, or on the badge. and I checked my reg details and it says I'm signed up for it.
help appreciated.
BYOC badges are going out in a mailing separate of the regular passes.

Stupid living in Canada.
Because of its weight?
Because of the badge. 0.41 plus 0.17 non-machineable surcharge.
Silly USPS with their new regs.
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
The badges are different each year so people can't just wear the previous year's badge and get in to the show.
Since Pre-Reg attendees don't get in any earlier than on-site attendees this year*, the badges were made the same for all 3-day people to reduce any possible confusion about the badges from Enforcers or WSCTC Staff.
*They sort of get in earlier since they don't have to wait to pay in the On-Site Registration line, but other than saving money, that's the only benefit of Pre-Reg.

PAX will always be held on the best weekend for PAX. Sometimes that will be a bad weekend for you; I'm sorry.
That's correct -- USPS First Class is .41 for the first ounce, and .17 for every additional. We were over one ounce.
Regarding the BYOC badges -- BYOC was essentially an "add-on" to your normal PAX registration this year (hence the later registration date). You'll receive those badges in a separate BYOC-only mailing.
As for the sticker thing, I frankly am getting around the "who am I" problem via a shirt with my affiliations/Forum name/other online names printed on it. booyah.
This shipment was mostly the people that got in on the early bird pre-reg.
That makes me a better person than everyone who hasn't recieved theirs, yet.
Pardon me, I'm going to revel in this for a bit.

I bought a new digital camera just so I could have a good camera to use at PAX. I got the Canon SD-1000 (7.1MP) and if you check the file name of this pic, you will see that this is the first picture I have taken with this camera.

Early-Bird prereg ended on like march 31st i think? So it was the people who got in on that deal.
If you purchased more than one badge, each badge will be mailed in a separate envelope. Therefore, if you registered for yourself and 8 of your friends, you will receive 9 envelopes, each with 1 badge. This simplified things on our end (especially with regard to printing and stuffing envelopes).
BYOC badges will be mailed separately -- that is to say, BYOC people will have both a regular 3day badge as well as a numbered BYOC badge.
International badges will be going out this week.
If you moved and you don't have forwarding set up, if you receive an envelope with no badge, etc, please please shoot me an e-mail (amberf@penny-arcade.com) and we'll figure everything out.
