Aww!! So are we doing another run of these things or will my stein sit all lonesome by itself?
I checked with the Glassware folks, and there's a 144 glass minimum order on this type of printing. I don't think that many glasses will move in the next 3 weeks, so there won't be a reorder this time.
However, if history is any indication, these should also be available for PAX East. Keep an eye on the forums abut 2-3 months before PAX East if you want to order.
Alrighty, that's it. Glasses are sold out. I'll post to this thread if more become available (ie: there was miscounted or someone doesn't want theirs). Thanks guys!
Awright, yous guys - the pickup schedule is completely figured out and posted in the OP. If you fail to pick up your glass(es) at one of the FIVE (5!) pickups and leave them to sit in my living room for 3 months like last year, you will be on my shitlist. You've been warned.
A handful of folks are reporting that their shipped glasses never arrived. If you've been waiting on a shipped order and haven't PM'ed me already, please send me a PM so that I can look into it.
I'm going to the mailing service today to see what's up and what happened. My apologies in advance if you got caught in the SNAFU!
Uggghhhhh... So an entire box of pint glasses has gone missing from the mailing service. That's 24 glasses.
There are always people who forget or just decide not to pick theirs up, so we may not actually be 24 glasses short, but...
Pickups will be first-come-first-serve. I strongly encourage everyone to make it to the earliest pickup possible in order to secure your glass.
If we run out early, I'll have a refund and many apologies for you.
@Khadour has indicated that he'd like to do these for a east this year so we'll work together to try and catch anyone who potentially gets missed this weekend.
If you haven't gotten your pint glass(es) yet, here's the final scoop:
The mailing service lost an entire box of pint glasses - that's 24 glasses. It's a small local service and I think they lost them when they moved locations this summer. The upshot is that because I'd used them before, I didn't get a dropoff receipt that showed how many glasses I dropped off and now they're refusing to take responsibility for the loss. Yeah, I could fight it but it won't bring the glasses back and I'm not going to sue them over one box of glasses.
The printer can't do a small run of just 24 glasses, so they can't be reprinted until next PAX, when @Khadour or @Punzie do these for East.
Every year, some people buy glasses but never pick them up. They forget or miss the pickup or just don't care and let it wash. I was hoping that we'd have enough of those folks to make up for the people who do care and contact me after PAX to have their glasses shipped. Unfortunately, that didn't happen.
So basically the glasses are done for Prime. If you didn't get yours, I don't have any to send you. Here are your options:
1. I can refund your money. Since these have been paid for, it comes out of my pocket. I'm willing to do this and take full responsibility for what happened on my watch.
2. I can send your payment to East and you can either have your glasses mailed to you in or picked up in March/April next year, when they do that run.
Basically the whole situation sucks. Please accept my apologies for how it got buggered up and let me know how you'd like to handle your glass(es).

Happy Drinking!

Was that 1 hour gap intentional?
The pickups are shown as scheduled for 9 - what were you looking at?
Oh apparently I was looking at an illusion...
For some reason I only saw 10am not 9:00-10:00AM
This is not the time you're looking for. Move along.
Nope.

Of course! I'll be there today from 2-8.

LexiconGrrl, you are (again) awesome for pronouncing my boyfriend's name correctly at pick-up!
