what is up with eternal members registration

[tchouli.livejournal.com]

Why did this year's eternal member registration start 30 minutes to 1 hour after onsite and other registrations had already opened.? I  was under the impression that eternals are considered VIPs. Granted our line was not long; but, it is kind of sad that onsite registration opened before the eternal registration line did. This meant that people just walking in off the street were done before our door was even open.

This will be the 3rd year in a row that something has gone wrong in the eternal registration line whether it was computer problems or a delay in registration or other issues.

So basically what i am askin is just what is the benefit of being an eternal????

I've blathered at length elsewhere on the Eternal tag (http://community.livejournal.com/dragoncon/tag/eternal+memberships) about how happy I am with all of my Eternal experiences, including strolling in and strolling right back out on Thursday evening after hotel check-in. I had no idea they'd had any trouble getting set up at the start of Registration, though! I'm usually going through it at five thirty or so. Do you think, Tchouli, that it would be reasonable for folks like you and me to contact the VIP staff a couple of weeks ahead of time, and ask how we can help them get set up on Thursday?

It's not like we need that Staff badge to justify a little effort on our parts, after all: we're still going to be badged and strolling away while our more transient cousins are still getting used to being in line!
